PART FOUR - Miscellaneous

13 Installation (Other components)

13.1 Installation of LX Flaps sensor

The unit is capable of detecting longitudinal movement of the flap lever command rod. The device, which
converts longitudinal movement into an electrical signal, is a high-quality wire-wound multi-turn
potentiometer. A spring based self-retracting system returns the cord in case of backward movement of
the flap lever rod. The high-quality cord allows control rod movement of up to 300 mm, which enables the
unit to be used for all gliders currently available. For installation purposes, only two wires are used to
connect the electronic device LX CanAD, which converts resistance data into digital signal. The electronic
device is a part of the CAN system bus.
For complete mechanical installation see the LX Flaps sensor manual, for sensor calibration see chapter
Flaps sensor calibration.

13.2 Electrical installation

13.2.1 LX Zeus with Vario (USB-D 60)

This part of the installation is easy and doesn't require any specialists. The system receives its power via
two power lines, which should be connected to 12V glider power source and ground. The red wire is 12V
and blue wire is Ground.
There is no fuse built into the system, it is obligatory to fit a 3A external fuse. Never remove the CAN
BUS Terminator, which occupies one CAN port (factory pre-set). A terminator should only be removed
for second seat configuration. In that case the terminator should be positioned on second seat unit.
A 2-pole plastic power connector, which is positioned approximately 20 cm from the unit casing ensures
simple disassembling of the unit in case of repair.
