Ping 200X(R) programming cable

Ready-made (or DIY) serial programming / configuration cable for uAvionix ping200X and ping200XR.

This is the connection cable only.
The USB to Serial Adapter with USB Cable can be bought separately on this website.

Connects your ping200X / ping200XR to a Windows PC with the optional USB to Serial Adapter with Cable so you can run the official ping200X Control & Config application (UAV-1004567-001) for ICAO address, SIL/SDA, registration, baud rate and all other installation settings.

The cable is wired as a crossed (null-modem) connection exactly according to the official uAvionix colour coding using standard MOLEX connectors which needs to be mounted on the ping200X/ping200Xr wiring.

Wire connections

Power connectors (standard version)

• Battery / power supply side: XT60 female
• Device side: Molex female (4-pin)

Different connectors are possible. On request we can fit the connector you need (if we have it in stock).

CRITICAL SAFETY NOTES (from official documentation)

• Never connect the Red (aircraft power) wire to the DB9 connector – this can damage the Serial adapter or the ping200X.
• Always power the ping200X from a separate 9–30 V / 11–33 V DC supply.
• Always fit a 50 Ω dummy load or proper antenna on the RF port before applying power.

Two options:

1. Buy ready-made – we ship a fully assembled cable (DB9 connector + correctly wired flying leads or Molex female + XT60 female for the battery).
2. Build it yourself – free one-page wiring guide available (or download from our support pages). Only three signal wires + separate power are required.
