The Phoenix Aircraft Monitor typically is shipped to you pre-configured with settings that are design to work with the aircraft you specified when you placed your order.  There are times however where you may want to adjust these settings to better suit your operations.  The following values can be configured:

Airframe:

• Airframe - This is where you set the type of aircraft.  Your options here are Fixed wing or Helicopter.
• Powerplant - This sets the engine detection algorithm to use.  The options are Piston or Turbine.
• Engine - The engine state detection algorithm's sensitivity.   (1 = most sensitive, think jet engine.  9 = least sensitive, think ultralight with a 2 stroke engine)
  
• Wake up - Movement threshold to wake the device up from sleep.  (1 = most sensitive, a light breeze can wake it up, 9 = least sensitive, a very gusty day can wake it up)
• Attachment type - Method used to attach the aircraft monitor to the aircraft. (Not attached, Velcro, 3M VHB Tape, Screws)
• Flight start - This is the threshold requirement that must be met before a departure message is sent by the aircraft monitor.  
• Stall - (Not applicable to helicopters) The approximate stall speed of the aircraft in it's clean configuration.

Device: 

• Lights steady - When enabled, the device indicator lights remain steady instead of flashing every 3 seconds.  Enabling this will consume more energy and may reduce your battery run time by about 50%.
  
• Lights auto-off - When enabled, the indicator lights will remain off when the aircraft is moving in excess of 8 knots to reduce distractions in the cockpit.
  
• Debug - This setting should only be enabled at the request of Airbly.  It will reduce the flight log retention to a maximum of 3 hours and generate a significant amount of data.  This setting will automatically be disabled after 3 hours of flight time is flown.

Events:

• Min G / Max G - An event is generated when the aircraft is operated beyond these G force limits.  This is only the vertical G force.
• Min pitch / Max pitch - An event is generated when the aircraft is pitched beyond these limits.  A setting of 90 disables this feature.
• Max roll - An event is generated when the aircraft is rolled beyond this limit.  A setting of 90 disables this feature.
• Max climb / Max descent - An event is generated when the aircraft climbs or descents in excess of these values.

Steps:

To adjust these settings you will need to :

• Use our Android or iOS app installed on a smartphone or tablet.
• Enable Bluetooth on the Android or iOS device.   In some cases, you may also need to have location services on as well.
• Be within 100 feet of the Phoenix Aircraft Monitor you want to configure.
• Ensure the device is powered on.
• Ensure the device is in the stopped aircraft.
• Be an administrator in the organization which owns the device.

Inside of the app, go into the "Groups page" and then select the "Devices" tab.  You will see a list of devices you have access to.  If the Bluetooth indicator is lit (please allow 10 seconds for it to be detected) you can select that device for configuration.

The App will now attempt to connect to the device.  This process may take a few seconds.  You will know you are connected when the large orange bar disappears.  

After you are connected, scroll down to the "Device Settings" section and click on the Pencil icon to make changes.

You will see a device settings screen with the options we described above.  Adjust them as needed and then click "Save" to write the changes to the device.
