3. magnetic heading sensor will begin to calibrate as well It requires approximately 45 seconds of turning changes for the heading sensor to complete calibration In order to obtain the correct bank and pitch direction you must place the transceiver unit on a flat surface with the antenna connector end of the transceiver unit aligned to the nose of your aircraft In order to maximize reception it 1s best to place the transceiver on the aircraft glare shield If this is not possible you can place the transceiver anywhere as long as the antennas have a clear view out the window and are not obstructed by any metal panels The transmitter coax antenna has a suction cup for placement It is recommended to place the transmit antenna at least 18 inches away from the transceiver unit It 1s also recommended to place the GPS antenna puck at least 12 inches away from the transmitter antenna and with a clear view of the sky This will insure no interference between the transmitter GPS and the receivers Always place the transmit antenna at least 8 inches 20cm away from any part of yourself or any passengers There are additional Blue Blade Antennas with 4ft coax extension cable that can be used to replace the two 5 black receiver antennas if you want to remote mount the unit in a location other than on the glare shield These can be ordered from www SkyGuardTWX com Helpful Hints In order for the transmitter to begin broadcasting your p

W A SKYGUARD Sy TWX SkyGuardTWX Vision Pro Plus 978 UAT 1090 ES AHRS ADS B Transceiver Setup This Transceiver is a fully integrated 978 mhz UAT and 1090 mhz ES ADS B radio transceiver with Levil Technologies AHRS sensor along with a WAAS GPS and WiFi transmitter The unit is powered on by plugging the provided DC power adapter into any aircraft power socket that provides either 12v or 24v DC with a minimum of 3 amps There are 5 antennas one 9 Blue Blade on 4 ft coax two 5 black one 1 black and one 4 black and a GPS receiver that must be installed prior to powering up the transceiver The GPS receiver puck is plugged into the ADS B transceiver unit with the arrow on the GPS plug pointing up The two 5 black ADS B receiver antennas are attached to the outside coax connectors adjacent to and at same end as the GPS plug The left side coax connection is the 978 mhz UAT receiver port and the right side coax connection is the 1090 mhz ES receiver port The 4 ft coax cable with 9 Blade antenna is attached to the center coax connector at the same end as the GPS plug This is the 978 mhz UAT transmitter port The 4 black antenna is attached to the coax connector that is between the transmitter port and the 978 mhz UAT receiver port The 1 black WiFi antenna and the DC power adapter plug are connected to the opposite side of the receiver See photos just below Antenna End Plate Power End Plate
5. io traffic alert display screen For details on how this works read the app description on the Apple App Store o On your Apple device go into Settings and turn ON Airplane mode o While in Settings turn on WiF1 and after a brief search a WiFi hot spot will appear showing SkyGuardTW Xxx where xx is a numeric value specific to your ADS B transceiver o Select this hot spot by tapping on it s name o Wait for approximately 10 seconds for the Apple device to establish a connection to the ADS B transceiver over WiFi Ifa connection is not established turn off your WiFi on the Apple device and power cycle the transceiver Then try again o Close Settings on the Apple device o Use the SkyGuardTWX app for 1Pad iPhone to configure your transceiver at this time If you are using an Adventure Pilot iFly 720 GPS Display Tablet or the 1Fly GPS app for iPad Android as your primary flight display device refer to the 1Fly 720 user manual for instructions to connect to and configure the transceiver o The iFly 720 andiFly GPS app have a Transceiver Configuration Control Panel that is built into the navigation software main menu You can use this to perform the initial transceiver configuration as well as in flight control of the transceiver Once the transceiver has been initially configured with N number ICAO code and default squawk code you are ready to go fly Select either WingX Pro 7 iFly GPS S
6. kyRadar Pro Naviator or any other Flight App that supports the SkyGuardTWX Vision Pro UAT ES Transceiver on the Apple Android device or the 1Fly 720 GPS Display Tablet Configure the selected Flight App to connect to the ADS B transceiver over WiFi Refer to the specific setup configuration as provide with the specific Flight App You are now ready to transmit your GPS location and receive display any UAT Weather Traffic and additional 1090ES Traffic on your displays moving map Each time the transceiver is powered up it will read the transceiver configuration parameters from internal memory Then while in flight if it is necessary to change any parameters just use the SkyGuardTWX app or iFly GPS app for iPad Android or the iFly 720 Display Tablet to modify and save the new transceiver configuration One new feature that has been added to the Vision Pro Plus Transceiver is the ability to automatically detect your Mode A C Transponder Squawk Code This is accomplished using the 4 black squawk detector antenna Insure this antenna is vertical and that your Transponder is ON and in Transmit Mode You can verify proper operation by viewing the SkyGuardTWX Control Panel in either i1Fly GPS or Naviator both of which display the current ADS B Transmitting squawk code While viewing the control panel change your Transponder squawk code and after 3 to 5 seconds insure this same squawk code is displayed in the SkyGuardTW X Transceiver c
7. n the receivers and transmitter antennas in the vertical position with a clear view out the windows of the aircraft It is best to keep these antennas away from any metal panels or metal structural supports of the aircraft Make sure you snug the transmitter coax cable connectors securely with a small wrench and that the receiver antennas are tightened securely with your fingers Important Pilot Advisory Note Regarding Safety of Radio Frequency Energy Safe use of this device requires care as to the placement of the long Blade antenna Place this antenna at least 20 cm 8 inches away from any part of your body or that of other cabin occupants Only handle the antenna when power is disconnected Advise your passenger s to avoid contact with the long antenna Retain these instructions with your maintenance logs files and for future reference FCC Compliance Statement This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules Operation is subject to the following two conditions 1 This device may not cause harmful interference and 2 This device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired operation Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user s authority to operate this equipment under FCC rules FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for a public uncontrolled environment WARNING This Transceiver
8. ontrol panel window This feature has been tested and verified with the following Transponders KT76 Garmin 320 327 and 330 Other transponders may work as well but have not been verified by SkyGuardTW X NOTE There is a 2 4 ft coax cable and female to female coax adaptor included with the antenna kit This extension cable can be used to help remote mount the 1090 mhz receiver antenna to a location which will better receive the Squawk Code transmitted from your Mode A C Transponder If you are having trouble receiving a reliable squawk code with the 1090 mhz receiver antenna mounted directly to the SkyGuardTW X unit then try using this extension coax cable and find a location in your aircraft which will pick up the squawk code reliably The best locations should be near to where your Transponder antenna is mounted on the belly of your aircraft Another feature incorporated into the Vision Pro Plus Transceiver is an I O port connector This connector is for future use and will allow connection of the Transceiver to a fixed panel display for depicting traffic and weather information If your Flight App supports Levil Technologies AHRS sensors you will begin to receive bank pitch and yaw data as well as magnetic heading from the internal sensor which you can display on your Apps attitude indicator For the AHRS sensor to properly calibrate it must remain in a level stable position for at least 2 minutes after power up The
