5 GPS signal management

LX Zeus has three GPS signal inputs, they are on the back
of the unit. The following devices can be connected:

Colibri II

Flarm or any device with NMEA output

LX Eos/Era via CAN bus

5.1 Colibri II socket

The Colibri II socket can be used only to connect a Colibri
II unit. It delivers power (5V) for the Colibri II and
sends/receives data directly without any data interface.
The communication is bidirectional. Every unit equipped
with Colibri II is supplied with a suitable connection cable
(USB mini to 6-pin RJ11).

5.2 Flarm plug

A Flarm marked input is a plug and play solution for
connecting any unit that has 6-pin RJ11 IGC compatible
connector. This port also delivers 12V.
The following units can be connected without any
additional adaptor:

Colibri, LX 20 – 2000, VL, LX Flarm RB, LX Flarm
MB, Flarm (Swiss)
5.3 LX Eos – CAN plug
LX Eos/Era connects to a CAN port, it doesn't matter which one is used. If an Eos is connected to the
system, please check that there is no CAN terminator used on the CAN bus (CAN terminator is already
built-in to the inside of a LX Eos/Era device).

5.4 GPS signal for navigation

All GPS inputs are used on LX Zeus. This means that LX Zeus is supplied with valid GPS signal as long as at
least one connected GPS receiver delivers valid data. A symbol positioned in the right upper corner of the
display shows GPS signal status:

red GPS BAD

green GPS OK

white symbol with  means no GPS data is present
Note!
Colibri II is powered from LX Zeus. All
settings and declarations are sent
from LX Zeus
II/Eos/Era/MOP/Flarm. There is no
need for any additional setup on
Colibri II/ Eos/Era/MOP/Flarm.
Note!
LX Zeus can adapt baud rate to any
value between 4800 and 38400
automatically, so baud rate of GPS
source connected to Flarm input
does not matter as long as it is in the
range (4800-38400).
