when powering up the device. All ights recorded without a valid seal will not be
IGC valid, meaning they can not be used for badge ights, record ights,
competition ights and webpages like OLC will not calculate them into your
cumulative score. If this happens, contact LX support as soon as possible.

Pressure sensors
The LX
k incorporates a variety of delicate pressure sensors. Since these are zero- ux
sensors (there is no air ow through the sensors, only pressure differences), no air lters are
required.
Static pressure sensors have an operating range of
cm of altitude. Any overpressure could damage the static pressure sensor permanently,
which is why great caution should be exercised when setting up and testing the pitot-static
system. If the total pressure were to be connected to the static port, and a pilot was to check
the IAS reading by blowing into the pitot tube, damage could easily occur.
The differential pressure sensor has an operating speed of up to
over this speed, or applying the equivalent pressure, may damage the sensor permanently.

Display
Leaving the glider canopy open in the sun is known to have a magnifying glass effect, concen-
trating the sun rays to a smaller area. This can damage the internals of your cockpit, as well
as the display of the LX
to become yellow and bubble (best case scenario), or destroy the device completely.
This is why it is prudent to always have your canopy, or your instrument panel, covered from
direct sunlight.

Device housing
By FAI IGC rules, visible external damages to the housing of the LX

damage the housing and the 'Data not valid if seal is broken' stickers not to be torn up.
