GRT Avionics Dual XGPS170 ADS-B Receiver Supplement

Section 1: Introduction

1.1 About the Dual XGPS170

The Dual XGPS170 is a 978 MHz ADS-B receiver that receives FIS-B weather and TIS-B traffic data

and displays it via USB on GRT Horizon HX, HXr and Sport SX EFIS screens. It also transmits data

through Bluetooth to Android and Apple tablets and phones that can display ADS-B information.

NOTE: GRT Horizon/Sport HS and WS units do not support USB receivers, including Dual XGPS170.

These systems require a receiver with RS-232 serial output.

WARNING: The Dual XGPS170 is a receiver ONLY. Do not expect or rely on any traffic information

unless your aircraft is also participating in ADS-B OUT. GRT recommends the use of an ADS-B

compliant Mode S extended-squitter transponder, such as the Trig TT22, coupled with WAAS GPS

for full ADS-B participation. Please read the ADS-B page on the GRT website for more information

on current ADS-B options and how the system works.

Follow all instructions in the Dual XGPS170 owner’s manual thoroughly. This supplement is intended

to support GRT users with information about connection and use with GRT EFIS systems, and may

not be totally up-to-date with all Dual specifications.

The interface between this receiver and GRT display units allows for:

ŸFIS-B subscription-free weather information displayed on a GRT display unit while within ADS-B

ground coverage;

ŸTIS-B traffic information displayed on a GRT display unit while within ADS-B ground coverage;

ŸDirect airplane- to-airplane traffic information displayed on a GRT display unit from nearby aircraft

participating in ADS-B OUT on 978 MHz UAT frequencies.

1.2 Data Port and Hardware Requirements

USB HUB: The Dual XGPS170 charges its internal battery through the USB connection. The USB

port in the GRT display unit was not designed to handle the power requirements of charging or

running electronic devices. Therefore, GRT strongly recommends use of a powered USB hub instead

of connecting the ADS-B receiver directly to the display unit. The hub will add functional USB ports

to the display unit and will avoid overload of its internal power supply circuitry.

These USB hubs have been tested by GRT beta testers and customers:

ŸStarTech 4-port USB Hub, p/n ST4200USBM, available from Amazon.com. 7-24V DC

ŸNetix P5USB, p/n CNX-P5USB, 7-32V DC

ŸUSBGear 4-port 3.0 USB Hub, p/n USBG-4U3ML, available from Amazon.com. 7-24V DC. Capable

of charging iPads.

All of the recommended hubs have connections for external power. They should be wired to the

avionics bus, as the power coming out of the USB hub in the display unit is not adequate for

powering the hub.

CAUTION: Charging or powering any USB electronic devices other than USB thumb drives or

Bluetooth adapters using the EFIS USB port may overload the internal electrical components of

the display unit, causing premature failure. This type of failure is not covered under warranty.

Antennas: The use of an externally-mounted antenna is optional. GRT beta testers in Van’s RV

aircraft have reported good signal with the included antenna when the unit is within view of the

sky (typically on the instrument panel glare shield). Signal reception may be improved by mounting

an antenna on the belly of the aircraft. The included antenna may be removed and a dedicated

passive transponder or DME antenna may be connected in its place.

Display Unit Data Port USB port

Power Connections Internal rechargeable battery lasts up to 5 hours. Charges through

USB port. See USB Hub section below for wiring guidelines.

Antennas Short antenna included. Extensions or external antennas optional.

Section 2: Installation & Wiring

2.1 Suggested Connections

USB only. Serial is not supported by Dual XGPS170. See Section 1 of this manual, Data Port and

Hardware Requirements, for more information.

NOTE: Even though the Dual XGPS170 can communicate via Bluetooth, the EFIS can only

communicate with it through USB. The EFIS Bluetooth currently only uses the GRT REMOTE app

for Android.

Using Android & Apple Tablets

The Dual XGPS170 can communicate via Bluetooth to two tablets of either the Apple or Android

operating system. It has a switch that allows transmission of either Apple or Android Bluetooth

protocol. NOTE: Most Android tablets can only be paired to one Bluetooth device at a time;

therefore, if the Android tablet is used for the GRT REMOTE app, it will not be able to simultaneously

communicate with the XGPS170.

The XGPS170 displays ADS-B information on tablets running Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) apps such

as WingX Pro7, Avare, Naviator, FlightPro, and AOPA FlyQ. See www.gps.dualav.com or the XGPS170

user manual for more information.

2.2 Mechanical Installation

Placement of the Receiver

The receiver should be installed within view of the sky. It is designed to be placed on top of the

instrument panel, but it can be mounted to a bracket in the baggage compartment or other area

behind the firewall that is not covered by metal.

Receiver GPS Antenna

The XGPS170 has an internal WAAS GPS receiver for locating its own position. Place the unit in a

location that has a clear view of the sky at all times.

Placement of the USB Hub

The USB hub is usually mounted near the instrument panel and avionics bus for convenient

connection to the aircraft’s electrical system and GRT display unit. A USB cable is then run from

the hub to the Dual unit, which requres a mini-USB connector.

Placement of External Antennas

External transponder-type antenna should ideally be at least 4 feet from the dedicated transponder

antenna, but not on multiples of 4 feet (due to wavelength). Place on the bottom of the aircraft

for the best angle to receive ADS-B ground signals.

Section 3: Setup & Programming

3.1 Display Unit & Dual XGPS170 Setup

1. After the XGPS170, antenna, and USB hub are installed and wired, use the following procedure

to program the display unit to communicate with it.

2. Power up the system. Access the Setup Menu on the display unit that the Dual/USB hub is

connected to.

3. Under General Setup, scroll to just below the Serial Port setup options. Highlight USB ADS-B

option and turn knob to select ON.

4. Stay on General Setup screen. Scroll down to Traffic Altitude Filter. Use this to filter out traffic

beyond a certain reported altitude from your position, excluding irrelevant traffic from the map.

5. Press SAVE softkey.

6. If your transponder is being used for ADS-B Out and it has not already been programmed, set it

up using the transponder manufacturer’s instructions and its GRT supplement if applicable.

Note to Trig Users: Answer “1090ES Receiver On Board?” with NO.

3.2 Post-Installation Checkout

1. Pull the aircraft outside and power up the EFIS system and ADS-B receiver.

2. Check the LED status lights on the ADS-B receiver for power and signal. Note that ADS-B often

cannot be received on the ground unless a ground station is nearby.

3. Go to Set Menu > Display Unit Maintenance. Scroll to ADS-B Status. If the Valid Frames counter

is counting, data packets are being received.

4. When the receiver is within range of one or more ADS-B ground towers, a green ADS-B x icon

will appear on the side of the moving map, with the “x” representing the number of towers

received. See image below.

The receiver is

communicating with 4

ADS-B ground towers.

Dual-9 Revision A

Section 4: Using the Dual XGPS170 ADS-B Receiver

1. WEATHER: Bring up the MAP screen. Under the SHOW softkey, there is a list of items to choose

from. (RADAR, SHADE, TERRAIN, WIND, METARS, etc.) Note that only one of the map features

can be selected; Radar information will replace Terrain because the color shading of both features

together is confusing. (On HXr, access SHOW softkey by pressing SCREEN, then MAP OPTIONS

softkeys.) When selected on the MAP screen, radar will also be displayed in the HXr map inset.

2. METARS and TAFS, if available, are shown on the WPT DETAILS page of the airport. Select

METARS on the moving map SHOW menu to display color-coded METAR symbols.

3. Go to the Moving Map Setup Menu for traffic alert and AIRMET, METAR, & TAF viewing options:

4. TFRs are currently not shown, but will be available with a future software update.

5. Traffic is shown as a black diamond icon with the altitude above or below you in hundreds of

feet, an arrow that shows if it is climbing or descending, and a vector line that shows the

approximate direction of flight. In addition to the moving map and geo-referenced charts, traffic

icons can also be displayed in 3D on the PFD. To turn PFD traffic on or off, go to Set Menu >

Primary Flight Display and scroll to Traffic In View. Select ON or OFF.

Setting Value Notes

Traffic Alert Window On or Off Traffic inset automatically appears when traffic is a threat.
