  • Page 2 The vario is preset to beep only when flying. But you can set this as you wish. If you want to download the tracks or change the configuration file then connect XC Tracer Maxx to your computer with the included USB-C cable. Now switch on the vario and the SD card of XC Tracer Maxx will appear on the computer as a USB hard drive.
  • Page 3 (due to data filtering). For this reason mount your XC Tracer Maxx in such a way that it moves as little as possible in relation to the harness during flight.
  • Page 4 – gentle - medium – loud – mute – gentle etc. Energy Management A fully charged battery from the XC Tracer Maxx is sufficient to run the vario for up to 60 hours, including logging of IGC and KML files, sending and receiving of FLARM Beacons, data transfer over BLE etc.
  • Page 5 Screens XC Tracer Maxx can display several predefined screens: • Simple • Standard • Thermal • Buddy • Airspace (Not yet ready) The LCD, which is perfectly readable in bright sunlight, has an update rate of 10Hz, so that a smooth display is guaranteed.
  • Page 6 But as soon as the wind can be calculated, the wind is displayed, i.e. the arrow shows where the wind is blowing to. Even when soaring on a slope, XC Tracer Maxx can calculate the wind. The calculation of the wind usually works well to very well, but there can also be situations where this is not the case.
  • Page 7 But please always keep an eye on the airspace around you and don't keep looking at the screen, however helpful it may be. It is best to try the thermal assistant when you are flying alone in a thermal. User Manual XC Tracer Maxx Rev 02 4.6.2020...
