Why is the GPS antenna signal quality reduced on my Appareo Marine Radio (Stratus ESG only)?
If the GPS antenna signal quality is reduced on your Stratus ESG, try the following steps: * Turn off all avionics except the GPS/transponder. * Enter into configuration mode on Stratus ESG. * Go to the CN0 diagnostic screen and wait for the CN0 values to populate. * Turn on one avionic at a time.
What to do if Appareo GPS altitude displayed is incorrect?
If the altitude displayed on your Appareo GPS is incorrect, first enter into configuration mode on Stratus ESG and confirm that the altitude source is set correctly. If using a serial connection, verify the correct encoding option was selected. Also, ensure the correct connections are made to the transponder. Use an altitude simulator to verify the cabling and check for any issues with the altitude source itself.
What to do if Appareo GPS signal quality is reduced?
If you notice a reduced GPS signal quality on your Appareo GPS, try the following steps: first, turn off all avionics except the GPS/transponder. Then, enter into configuration mode on Stratus ESG and go to the CN0 diagnostic screen, waiting for the CN0 values to populate. Turn on one avionic at a time. If the CN0 values drop by 2 dB or more, there might be an interference problem. The avionic causing the interference might need to be relocated in the cockpit, antennas might need to be moved farther apart, or filters might need to be added to the avionic.
How to resolve Appareo GPS not receiving GPS information?
If your Appareo GPS isn't receiving GPS information, ensure the aircraft has a clear view of the sky. Also, check that the antenna connections and cables are not loose, and verify the coax cable is connected to the correct port.
What to do if the Appareo GPS transponder is not receiving the squat switch position?
If the Appareo GPS transponder isn't receiving the squat switch position, check the connections and the pin-out of the transponder to verify that the squat switch port is correctly connected. Also, verify that the squat switch works independent of the transponder.
What to do if the Appareo GPS display screen shows a warning message?
If the display screen on your Appareo GPS shows a warning message and a degraded state indicator, it means one of the built-in tests has failed. Here's what the messages mean and what you should do: * **PRESS FUNC TO CLEAR:** A non-critical error. The GPS will work in a limited way until fixed. Contact your dealer. * **PLEASE RESTART UNIT:** A serious error. Restarting might help. If the message comes back, contact your dealer. * **PLEASE SHUTDOWN UNIT:** A critical error. Turn the unit off and leave it off. Contact your dealer. * **WAITING TO BE UNSTUCK:** A key is held down too long (over 20 seconds). Check if a key is stuck and try to release it. * **WAITING FOR RELEASE:** The external suppression input is always on. Contact your dealer. * **ATTEMPTING TO RECOVER:** A squit...
What to do if Appareo STRATUS ESG transponder is not receiving the squat switch position?
If the Appareo Marine Radio transponder isn't receiving the squat switch position, check the connections and the pin-out of the transponder to verify that the squat switch port is correctly connected. Also, verify that the squat switch works independent of the transponder.
What does Built in Test (BIT) failure on Appareo GPS mean?
The Built In Test (BIT) failure message on your Appareo GPS screen indicates that an error has been detected. Here are possible errors: *A non-critical error has been detected: PRESS FUNC TO CLEAR. The transponder will run in a degraded state until the error is resolved. *A critical error has been detected: PLEASE RESTART UNIT. Restarting the unit may fix the error. If the message returns after restarting, contact Appareo for further assistance. *A critical error has been detected: PLEASE SHUTDOWN UNIT. Power off the unit and do not turn it back on. Contact Appareo for further assistance. *The transponder has overheated: OVERHEATED. Transponder function will resume when the transponder cools down. *WAITING TO BE UNSTUCK: A key has been depressed for more than 20 seconds. If a key is stuck...
What to do if the power key does not power on my Appareo STRATUS ESG Stratus ES/ESG?
If the power key does not power on the Stratus ES/ESG, try the following: * Verify that the power key is not stuck. * Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped. If it has tripped, reset the circuit breaker switch and try the power key again. If it did not trip, verify that the electrical connection to the transponder is secure. * Verify that the voltage at the input to the unit is between 11 VDC and 36 VDC.
Why is the altitude displayed incorrect on my Appareo STRATUS ESG Marine Radio?
If the altitude displayed is incorrect, take the following steps: * Enter into configuration mode on Stratus ES/ESG and verify that the altitude source is set as the currently used altitude source. * If the altitude source is a serial connection, verify that the correct encoding option was selected. Also, verify that the correct connections are made to the transponder. You can use an altitude simulator to verify the cabling, and ensure that there is not a problem with the altitude source itself.
