PLACING STRATUS IN AIRCRAFT
The snap-in mount secures Stratus in place during fl ight.
To place the mount in the aircraft:
1. Remove the protector sheet from the gel base of the snap-in mount.
2. Place the gel base of the snap-in mount onto the aircraft’s glare shield.
Stratus should be mounted perpendicular to the back of the aircraft
to ensure accurate AHRS data. It should also be placed as close as
practical to the pilot and copilot seats to help prevent overheating.
3. Lay Stratus in the snap-in mount so that it is leaning against the longer
arm of the mount’s cradle, as shown in the graphic on page 7. The
LEDs and Stratus logo should face the back of the aircraft. If Stratus is
facing the wrong direction, AHRS data will be incorrect and the chance
of overheating will be signifi cantly increased.
NOTE:
Refer to the graphic on the bottom of Stratus for the correct
mounting alignment with the aircraft.
4. Press the top of Stratus into the cradle until it is securely in place.
NOTE:
An optional suction cup mount is available from your Stratus
retailer. This mount may improve the internal antenna’s ADS-B reception
and provides an option for mounting Stratus off the glare shield.
