Press the ENTER key to select. The ‘GPS Diags' screen
displays, showing antenna/GPS status, signal to noise ratio and
satellite information.
What does the GPS diagnostics information mean?
Antenna/GPS status information is shown on line one of the display.
GPS Lock displays when there is a good GPS signal providing positioning information;
Waiting For Lock displays after the DZM has recently been re-powered and is calculating, or waiting for
sufficient signal before providing position information. Even under good conditions, it may take up to 2
minutes to acquire a GPS lock (or 15 minutes the first time the DZM is used in a different hemisphere);
No Antenna displays when no GPS antenna is connected, or if there is an antenna cable fault;
Antenna Fault displays when the GPS antenna and/or cable has a low impedance short. This message is
also displayed when using an active antenna where the energy consumption on power-up is too high.
Signal to noise ratio (SNR) shows on line two of the display in numerical and graphical form. This provides the
average strength of the five best incoming satellite signals (or an average of all visible satellites if there are fewer
than five).
Normal SNR value is around 40db/Hz. A minimum of 30db/Hz is usually required to obtain a GPS lock.
Low values are usually due to weak signals from satellites which can be caused by some sort of physical
obstruction. Low values can also be caused by excessive electrical noise being imposed on a strong signal,
such as nearby arc welding equipment or variable speed drives.
It is possible that the SNR may be high but a GPS lock cannot be achieved. This may be due to a low number
of visible satellites (a minimum of 4 satellites is required) or satellites not in suitable strategic locations to
acquire a GPS lock (i.e. they may be close to the horizon).
| Flightcell® DZM Operating Manual | Firmware v2.00 Page 56 of 88 |
Page 57
Number of satellites currently visible shows on line three of the display.
Satellites Used displays when you have a GPS lock. The greater number of satellites being used to calculate
your position, the more accurate the position.
Satellites Detected displays when the DZM is attempting to acquire a GPS lock. This defines how many
satellite signals are being received.
Setting automatic GPS transmission based on low speed limit
The DZM uses the 'Low Speed' setting to transmit GPS information on takeoff and landing, providing good start
and end points to flight paths.
When aircraft speed increases above this limit it transmits as a takeoff event message. When aircraft speed
decreases below this limit it transmits as a landing event message.
For helicopters, the 'Low Speed' setting should be set as low as possible to ensure automated GPS transmissions
continue to occur when there are small changes in speed while hovering. Alternatively, use the DZM 'Collective
Switch' function to transmit helicopter takeoff and landing information. Refer to "Setting automatic GPS
transmission based on collective switch position" on page 58 for further information about using the 'Collective
Switch' function.
‘Low Speed’, ‘Collective Switch’ or ‘Squat Switch’ settings, when enabled, are used to detect when an aircraft
is airborne. This ‘in flight’ state is used in conjunction with the GPS Tracking setting. Automated GPS position
reports will either stop or switch to the lower rate of every 20 minutes after the aircraft is considered ‘on the
ground’ and will revert to their configured rate again after the aircraft is considered ‘in flight’.
Manual GPS data will be transmitted regardless of the 'Low Speed' setting and the GPS Tracking setting. This
allows positions to be marked while on the ground or hovering in a helicopter.
Refer to "Configuring GPS tracking" on page 52 for further information about important settings that need to
be configured before GPS data will be transmitted.
Setting the Low Speed Limit:
From the ’Tracking Setup’ sub-menu, use the arrow keys to
navigate to ‘Low Speed’.
Press the ENTER key to select. The 'Low Speed' screen
displays.
Press the or arrow keys to increase the low speed
limit.
| Flightcell® DZM Operating Manual | Firmware v2.00 Page 57 of 88 |
Page 58
OR press the or arrow keys to decrease the low
speed limit. The 'Low Speed' limit may be set between 5 and 100
knots. The default is 10 knots. To disable, decrease the 'Low
Speed' setting to 0. This will default to 'Disabled'. When disabled,
the DZM will transmit GPS data even when stationary and will not
register takeoff and landings.
If the 'Collective Switch' is used to trigger takeoff and landing
information, the 'Low Speed' setting will be automatically set and
cannot be disabled.
Press the ENTER key to save.
Setting automatic GPS transmission for takeoff and landing based on collective
switch position
The DZM 'Collective Switch' feature is used as an alternative to the 'Low Speed' setting for helicopters. As
helicopters are used for hovering, using just the 'Low Speed' setting, takeoffs and landings may be recorded
when the helicopter is still flying.
With a connection to the helicopter's collective switch, the DZM instead records takeoff and landing events based
on the lifting and lowering of the collective plus the helicopter’s speed.
The DZM's collective switch configuration is set based on the normal status of the switch during flight. For
example, if the collective switch is normally open (when the collective is off the floor) during flight, the DZM will
not transmit GPS positions, or will transmit GPS positions at the lower rate (depending on the GPS Tracking
setting), when the switch is closed (collective on the floor). GPS positions will only be transmitted at their
configured rate when the switch is open and the helicopter deemed to be in flight.
If the 'Collective Switch' is used to record takeoff and landing information, the 'Low Speed' setting will be
automatically set and cannot be disabled. Refer to "Setting automatic GPS transmission based on low speed limit"
on page 57 for further information about using the 'Low Speed' setting.

Configuring oil pressure switch to record aircraft operating time
The DZM oil pressure switch feature may be used to report engine start and engine stop to enable engine
operating time to be calculated (e.g. for the purpose of billing customers for aircraft use) in the following ways:
Upon engine start up oil pressure increases significantly. This increase in oil pressure prompts the DZM to
automatically transmit GPS position data, identifying engine start time.
Upon engine shut down oil pressure decreases significantly. This decrease in oil pressure prompts the DZM
to automatically transmit GPS position data, identifying engine stop time.
If this function is enabled, a position report and timestamp is sent when the engine starts and stops.
Some GPS tracking providers further support this function by providing automated information for billing
purposes. Contact Flightcell® International Ltd should you require further information.
NOTE! In order for this function work correctly, power to the DZM must not be interrupted until after
engine shutdown. Flightcell® International Ltd recommends that the DZM be wired to the emergency bus.
If the Flightcell DZM does not have a GPS fix when the engine is started, transmission of the message will
be delayed until a fix is obtained, but the timestamp in the position report will report the actual engine
start up time.

Page 65
Configuring position report transmission options
The DZM can transmit GPS positions using three different options:
SMS over the cellular network
SMS or SBD over the Iridium satellite network.
NOTE! Messaging via the cellular network is currently only supported by TracPlus Global in New Zealand and
Australia. In other countries or with other tracking providers, position reports may only be sent via the Iridium
satellite network.
The cost of messaging differs between these three options:
If messaging via the cellular network is available, this is usually the cheapest option.
When using the Iridium network, SBD is the default mode as it is usually faster and more economic than SMS.
However, if you are only flying a small number of hours, SMS may be more economic.
Your tracking service provider will be able to recommend the most economic option based on your operation.
The DZM is designed to switch between these three options depending on network availability, as shown in the
following drawing, and on the preferences programmed into the DZM.
If the DZM has a cell modem connected, and Cell Phone is selected as the preferred device (see page 66),
and the cell modem has a network lock, then the DZM will first attempt to transmit via cellular SMS
If a message can’t be transmitted via the cellular network, the DZM will send the message via Iridium
If the Iridium SBD service is enabled on the DZM (see page 66), the DZM will first attempt to send the
message via SBD
If the message can’t be sent via SBD (because the Iridium phone is being used for a voice call), the DZM will
send the message via Iridium SMS (messages reports can be sent via SMS even when the phone is in use for
a voice call).

Page 66
Setting preferred messaging device
If you have a cellular modem installed and your tracking service provider can support data sent via the cellular
network, set the cell modem as the preferred device. Setting the preferred device to Cell Phone will instruct the
DZM to use the cell modem in preference for sending position reports, but it will also use the sat device when
there is low or no cell signal. If the preferred device is set to Sat Phone, the DZM will only ever use the Sat
phone and will never use the cell modem to send a position report.
Specifying the preferred messaging device:
From the ’Tracking Setup’ sub-menu, use the arrow keys to
navigate to 'Preferred Device'.
Press the ENTER key to select. The 'Preferred Device'
screen displays.

Setting satellite message size
When transmitting GPS positions over the satellite network using Short Burst Data (SBD) mode, you may define
the level of detail included within each message.
The DZM sends full position reports at programmed intervals. Between each position report it also records
intermediate positions (known as breadcrumbs or True Path) that provide additional course information.
Breadcrumbs are transmitted with the next position report.
SBD message size options:
The following SBD message size options are available:
Minimum Information – The current GPS position plus the previous 2 breadcrumbs will be transmitted.
Maximum Information – The current GPS position plus the previous 3 breadcrumbs will be transmitted.
By selecting 'Minimum Information' you should only be charged for the 30 byte minimum message charge by
your satellite network provider. By selecting 'Maximum Information', each message will be approximately 32
bytes so will cost around 10% more to transmit.
