1.3 ISAT-200 System Components
The following paragraphs describe the components of the ISAT-200 system.
1.3.1 ISAT-200
The ISAT-200 is the primary component of the ISAT-200 System. The system is comprised of a
GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver, an L-Band transceiver specifically designed to
communicate with the Iridium®satellite system, a Lithium-ion battery which enables communications
with the satellite system after airframe power shutdown, and a battery charging system. Control and
interfacing are provided with a low power, single-board computer.
The ISAT-200 provides position reporting and messaging with global coverage in near real time.
Figure1—ISAT-200System BlockDiagram
The ISAT-200 is the primary hardware component of a system designed to provide full duplex sat
phone communication, automatic message reporting, 2-way messaging and other data transfers.
Data can be sent between an aircraft and any point in the world with internet access via the Iridium®
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. Position reports and text messages from the aircraft can be
displayed on any computer with internet access and SkyTrac software. Position reporting intervals
are user-defined. Base software displays current and historical position data including latitude,
longitude, GPS time, relative position (to a known way point), ground speed, altitude and heading, in
tabular format and on a map. Airtime, flight time, ETA, distance traveled, time elapsed and other
flight data is also displayed for instant viewing. Flight reports can also be generated by unit and time
frame (i.e. airtime/flight time per day/week/month).
The document reference is online, please check the correspondence between the online documentation and the printed version.

SkyTrac Systems Ltd.
Document Rev. 01.020 DOC0334 Page 10 of 49
Restricted Proprietary and Confidential Information
Operationally, the ISAT system can compliment flight following requirements for commercial
operators and provide vital position data and messaging services to those operators conducting
flight activities in remote areas.
The unit may be reprogrammed via the USB port or the SD Card Interface in order to provide new
feature sets as they become available.
The eight character display and user-friendly menu system is provided to enable troubleshooting
with minimal reference to the manual required.
The unit supports up to two RS-232 serial ports, up to two RS-485 ports, Ethernet, three analog
inputs, and six digital inputs.
The ISAT-200 supports sat phone integration into aircraft standard audio equipment.
1.3.2 ITRAY-200
The ISAT-200 is mounted in an ITRAY-200 quick disconnect chassis. The ITRAY-200 makes for
easier replacement and maintenance of the ISAT-200. The ITRAY-200 onboard Configuration
Module retains the configuration information related to the airframe, so that if the ISAT-200 is
replaced, the new unit will be easily reconfigured.
If an ISAT-200 is moved from one ITRAY-200 to another, the ISAT-200 will automatically use the
configuration contained in the new ITRAY-200.
Note: If an ISAT-200R Mod None is installed in an ITRAY-200R Mod A, then the ISAT-
200 MB software must be upgraded to a version greater than 00.11.13.
1.3.3 Antenna
The SkyTrac combination antenna combines both an Iridium antenna and a GPS antenna into a
single package with a small footprint. The antenna is qualified to TSO-C144. This simplifies aircraft
installation.
It is recommended that only the SkyTrac combination antenna be used with the ISAT-200 system. If
you wish to use an antenna other than the one provided; please contact SkyTrac Systems for
assistance.
1.3.4 ISAT-200 Installation Components
The necessary pins required to populate the ITRAY-200 connectors are included with the ITRAY-
200 as well as the connectors required to install the SkyTrac combination antenna.

3 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
3.1 General
This section contains procedures for the mechanical installation of the ISAT-200 system
components. It includes unpacking instructions, a table listing the weight of each component, and
instructions for completing the physical installation of the ISAT-200, the ITRAY-200, and the TSO
Combination Antenna.
The ISAT-200 installation package contains a combination GPS/Iridium antenna. The antenna must
be placed in a location that has a clear view of the sky. The ISAT-200 must receive GPS signals via
the antenna to enable the determination of its present position and communicate (send/transmit)
with the Iridium®LEO satellite system.
In order to view position data, a Windows-based PC is required at the base location. Please see
www.skytrac.ca for software options.
3.2 Unpacking and Inspecting the System Components
1. Check the items in the shipment against those listed on the shipping invoice to ensure that all
items have been received. If any items are missing, contact SkyTrac Client Services.
2. Carefully remove each item from its individual packaging.
3. Inspect each item for damage that may have been incurred during shipping. In case it is
necessary to submit a damage claim, save the shipping container to help verify the claim.
4. After all items have been unpacked, it is suggested that you save the containers and
packaging materials in case it becomes necessary to reship an item.
Verify and record the IMEI and the serial number of the ISAT-200.
3.3 Installation Limitations
The following installation regulations must be adhered to:
The ISAT-200 must be installed using an ITRAY-200 (P/N: 102-200-01) mounted securely.
CAUTION:
As per FAA Policy, No. ASW-2001-01 dated April 25, 2002:
The antenna must not be installed 0.5 meters or less from a FADEC system.

3.4 Main Installation Tasks
The main tasks for this installation are listed below:
1. Unpack and inspect the system components. Check the contents of the installation kit
against the parts list on the Installation Kit Package and verify that all components are
included and were not damaged during shipping.
2. Determine the approximate location of the ISAT-200 and combination GPS/Passive Iridium
antenna.
Note: Consider maximum antenna coax lengths and minimum distance between existing
GPS antennas and the ISAT-200 antenna when determining an install location.
Note: If ISAT-200 is to be installed near an active INMARSAT terminal, or if the aircraft that
the ISAT-200 is installed in operates near an active INMARSAT terminal, please see
Appendix A.
3. Install and secure the ITRAY-200.
4. Install the TSO combination antenna (PN: STS-ISAT-ANT). Route the coax cables for
Iridium and GPS antenna signals to the ISAT-200 combination antenna.
5. Install and/or connect the battery in the ISAT-200.
6. Install and secure the ISAT-200 into the ITRAY-200.
