1. Preparing for install
This document is intended to help you determine the best method for installing Stratus 2i
interface cables in an aircraft and connecting them to a Stratus ES or Stratus ESG.
NOTE: For instructions for how to install Stratus ES/ESG, refer to the documentation provided
with the transponder or in the Aviation Dealer Portal.
Supplied components:
• Stratus 2i ADS-B In portable receiver
• Cradle
• Stratus 2i Pilot’s Guide
• Power serial interface cable
• RF interface cable
• 9-pin D-Sub connector with mounting hardware
• BNC jack to blind mate adapter
2. Placing Stratus 2i in the aircraft
Choose an installation location that provides for the best line-of-sight between the Stratus 2i and
the iPad for optimal Wi-Fi communication.
It is important for Stratus 2i to be installed in the orientation indicated by the “Direction of Flight”
arrow on the receiver. Stratus 2i can be placed upside down or sideways, as long as the
“Direction of Flight” arrow points in the correct direction.
The provided cradle is an optional accessory to help secure Stratus 2i during flight. Mounting
methods and locations can be determined by the installer or pilot.
NOTE: The mounting holes in the Stratus 2i cradle are compatible with many RAM mounts.

3. Installing the interface cables
NOTE: For instructions on installing Stratus ES/ESG, reference the Stratus ES/ESG Installation
Instructions (Appareo document number 600840-000031 for TSO installations and
600840-000032 for STC installations). These documents can be found on the Aviation Dealer
Portal.
1. Wire the 9 pin D-Sub connector to the transponder following the wiring diagram on
Page 5, allowing for a maximum harness length of 3 feet. Use 20 gauge wire for this
harness.
2. Mate this 9-pin D-Sub connector with the Stratus 2i power serial interface cable and
secure using the thumb screws.
3. Attach the BNC blind mate adapter to the ADSB AUX hole on the transponder backplate.
4. Attach the BNC connector of the Stratus 2i RF interface cable to Stratus ES/ESG’s
ADSB AUX port.
5. Connect the remaining end of the power serial cable into the power port of Stratus 2i
(marked by the power symbol).
6. Connect the remaining end of the Stratus 2i RF interface cable into the ADS-B port of
Stratus 2i. Secure cables as necessary.
7. Power on the aircraft to ensure that Stratus 2i is receiving power. Refer to the LED
indicator statuses on Page 7.
4. Configuring the transponder
The transponder must be configured to allow for ADS-B In receiver information from the cockpit
after Stratus 2i has been placed in the aircraft.
1. Enter into configuration mode on the transponder (while holding the FUNC key, press
and release the PWR key).
2. Press FUNC or the arrow keys to navigate to the “ADS-B Capability” screen and press
ENT.
3. Use the arrow keys to set the capability to UAT and 1090 ES (the frequencies Stratus 2i
is capable of).
4. Press ENT.
5. Powering receiver on and off
Once it is receiving aircraft power, Stratus 2i will automatically turn on. All LED indicators will
briefly illuminate red and then green as the receiver powers on and auto-calibrates. If Stratus 2i
is moved after being turned on, it must be re-calibrated in ForeFlight Mobile.
