HE7200A-BB2327 Install Guide
P/N: 200804
Introduction
This installation guide covers the features of the HawkEye 7200A-BB2327, part number: 200800. Since
there is no user interaction directly with the system there is a separate user guide detailing the features of
the Blue Sky Network SkyRouter systems for managing and interacting with the HE7200A-BB2327.
Hawkeye 7200A-BB2327
The GTI HE7200A-BB2327 offered by Blue Sky Network is a modular product line that consists of an
Iridium 9523-
based voice/data core platform ‘black box’ (BB) with an interface to allow future product
implementations. The HE7200A BB2327 will be an FAA certified product with a “D” connector for power
and future accessory options as well as female antenna connectors for GNSS and Iridium. The unit will
derive power from the aircraft electrical bus and will exist through a 3A circuit breaker. Input power to the
box can be from 10V-30VDC. It is expected that the box will power on when the aircraft Master Switch is
turned “on” and turn “off” when the Master Switch is turned “off”. The unit is designed to operate without
any human interaction and performs its’ own self-test before sending any data.
Once on, the product will send periodic position reports and other events (e.g. take-off and landing)
derived from the GNSS receiver and transmitted over the Iridium Satellite Network. All parameters (e.g.
frequency of reporting) are set by the customer remotely and sent to the unit over the Iridium Satellite
Network using SkyRouter, the cloud based back end designed and operated by Blue Sky Network.
On SkyRouter, the owner and any other customer authorized users can autonomously track the aircraft
anywhere in the world in virtual real-time. The unit function can be thought of as a satellite-based
transponder except the owner controls who might see the aircraft in flight.
