__________________________________________________________________2 Installaon Consideraons2.1 GeneralThe STX 360 Sentinel is a UAT IN/OUT ADS-B unit with a built-in Mode A/C transponder. The STX 360 can easily be installed in the same space as most existing panel mounted transponders, simplifying the installation. The STX 360 has an internal diplexer that allows both the transponder and the UAT to share a single antenna. Because itis a combination unit, there is a single point of entry for the squawk code which eliminates the possibility of reporting two different codes. The STX 360 requires altitude input from an encoder, such as the Sandia SAE 5-35, in RS 232 format as well as a position source from a WAAS GPS through a RS 232, or RS 422 interface.The STX 360R is a remote version designed to be used with other navigation systems. SANDIA provides a InterfaceControl Document to those that wish to interface with the STX 360R. The ICD can be obtained from SANDIA Aerospace by contacting the factory at 505.341.2930. The STX 360R can be hard mounted in the aircraft. The STX 360R requires altitude input from an encoder, such as the Sandia SAE 5-35, in RS 232 format as well as a position source from a WAAS GPS through a RS 232, or RS 422 interface.2.2 Mounng Consideraons2.2.1 STX 360 Panel MountThe STX 360 is designed to be tray mounted in a standard cutout. 2.2.1.1 Oponal 2.2.2 STX 360R Remote MountThe STX 360R is designed to be mounted behind aircraft panel, or under the seat or other remote locations where panel space is available.SECTION 3 Installaon Procedures3.1 GeneralThe STX 360 and STX 360R are supplied with one 50 pin Sub-D mating connector and clam shell.

__________________________________________________________________3.10 Antenna ConsideraonsThe RF section is very important as to ensuring termination of the STX360 to the type of coax cable type used to considerations of mounting the antenna. 3.10.1 STX 360 terminaonThe STX360 antenna output should always be terminated prior to turning on the unit. Testing of the unit prior to installation should have a 50 ohm load terminated on STX360. Prior to powering STX360 in aircraft, ensure that allcoaxial cable is routed and terminated to the tray (STX360) or terminated directly to unit (STX360R) and the other end of the coaxial cable terminated to an aircraft transponder antenna. For coaxial cable and antenna considerations,please see sub-sections below for specifics.3.10.2 Coaxial seleconWhen routing the antenna cable, sharp bends and routing near motors and generators should be avoided. The antenna cable should be kept as short as possible. The length of coaxial should be < 1.5 dB of insertion loss (S21). RG 400U or equivalent is the recommended coax to use for the antenna cable. Note: coaxial types above is for reference only to emphasize cable loss by type. Pleas refer to manufacturers data sheet to get exact insertion loss per foot information.3.10.2 STX360 antennaThe typical antenna used is a monopole that adheres to the following specifications:•50 ohm impedance•VSWR ≤ 1.7:1 for UAT (978MHz) and VSWR ≤ 1.5:1 for ATCRBS (1090MHz)•TSO-C74 / TSO-C66 / TSO-C112 antennas meeting VSWR specification.www.sandia.aero 306467-00 STX 360 Installaon Manual REV 1Page 44Table 11: STX360 coaxial cable examplesCoaxial TypeRG-400 18.5 8.5 1.57dBRG-393 9.2 17 1.564dBRG-304 11.1 14 1.554dBInseron Loss (dB/100)Maximum LengthInseron Loss (S21)
