Interfaces

Connector Layout

Connectors

Index	Connector
1	LOS SSMA connector
2	GNSS1 SSMA connector
3	Static pressure port (Int. D. 2.5 mm x Out. D. 4 mm) for static pressure sensor 2
4	Static pressure port (Int. D. 2.5 mm x Out. D. 4 mm) for static pressure sensor 1
5	Dynamic pressure port (Int. D. 2.5 mm x Out. D. 4 mm)
6	ADS-B or remote ID SSMA connector Warning When using ADS-B or remote ID, there must be an adequate antenna or load connection to the DAA SMA
7	GNSS2 SSMA connector
8	M2M SSMA connector Warning If the BLOS module is enabled, a suitable antenna must be connected to this SSMA port. The 4G Antenna with the Embention reference P000112 is recommended
9	68-pin connector

Both static pressure ports must be used for sensor redundancy (Y tubing connection is strongly recommended).

Warning

The static pressure port 4 is always used by Autopilot 1x to calculate speed (using the difference of pressure between ports 4 and 5), no matter which sensor is selected in configuration.
