Document Name:
LX Era 57/80 user's manual
LX Era has a possibility of five different user defined inputs. Each input can be set
accordingly. There are seven options to choose from:
None: nothing is connected to the input
-
- SC: the device changes mode from vario to SC mode
VP: (vario priority) the device goes to vario mode no matter what SC mode is
-
selected
- Event: event in flight recorder is activated and pilot gets a message shown
on display
Gear: If enabled under warnings will generate gear up/down warnings after
-
take-off / before landing
Airbrakes: if enabled under warnings, will generate airbrakes warning if they
-
are opened during take-off
- Ballast: not yet supported
Inv – invert mode:
Each input has invert option. When invert option is enabled, it will "invert" active
state of this input.
Invert option:
- off: input is active when switch is closed
- on: input is active when switch is opened
If two or more inputs are the same, the corresponding action will be made when
all of them are active (active = switch closed or switch open in Inv mode!).
Please refer to external switch installation section to see how to connect to
external switch interface
Functions of inputs:
SC: LX Era supports two modes of operation: Vario and SC. With SC input,
-
the user can change between these two modes.
- VP: Vario priority is used when user wants to have vario mode active. VP
input has higher priority than SC input!
Event: To trigger pilot event in logger with higher recording interval, this
-
option of input should be selected.
Gear: If any gear is selected, gear warning will be announced as follows:
-
- gear is out is detected 10min after take-off and height is more than 500m
above take-off location.
- gear is not out and altitude is less than 200m in 5km circle of take-off
position and flight time is more than 5min.
- on out landing (if airbrakes are out, elevation less than 600m QFE (1900ft),
distance from take-off more than 5km) and gear is not out.
Airbrakes:
If any airbrake is selected, gear warning will be announced as follows:
