Page 4: Introduction
The best way to learn basic and more advanced functions about the LX160 is to turn it on at home and go step by step through this manual. We have done our best to achieve, as little handling during the flight as possible, if the on- ground preparation has been optimal. -

Page 6: Description Of Switches
LX160 21.09.06 Description of switches Figure 1 Switches ON/OFF: Switches power on or off. SC/VARIO/AUTO: (mode selector) • SC is speed command mode • VARIO mode • AUTO mode After MC switch is activated the upper number shows the MC. After App. -
Page 7: Lcd Indicator
LX160 21.09.06 FILTER: (vario filter) default • upper position 3 seconds- (very strong filter) default • middle position (FIL) 0.5 seconds- (almost no filtering) default • lower position 1.5 seconds- (weak filter) AUDIO VOLUME: With a long press the volume increases/decreases faster, with short press volume is increased/decreased slower. -
Page 8: Pneumatic
Switch 4 PROHIBITED! Pneumatic On the rear side of LX160 are three probes. • On TE probe is connected total energy or static, if we havent total energy. If static is connected, vario is not compensated. Electronic compensation is necessary. -
Page 9: Power On
LX160 21.09.06 Power on After powering up the LX160, wait app. 40 sec. to warm up the sensors. On the LCD indicator we will see displayed LX160 and the number of version. Program version Figure 5 After power on Two main working modes The LX160 has two main modes: VARIO and SC (speed command) mode. - Page 10 LX160 21.09.06 Figure 7 SC Mode The SC ring always displays SC value, no matter in which mode the LX160 is in. Settings for VARIO mode and SC mode are different Warning! Altitude, which is displayed on the lower number is always set on zero (QFE) after power on.

Page 11: Set-Up Menus
LX160 21.09.06 Set-up menus We get to the set-up menu by pressing up the MC+ and VOL+ together. The LCD indicator will display the first set-up menu. With the MC switch we can change between the set-up menus. Values in set-up menus can be changed with the VOL switch . -
Page 12: Targ (Target Altitude)
(ALT), set on QFE, and we want to fly back to our home airport (same as take off), TARG must stay on 0. If the altitude on the LX160 is set on QNH, we need to set the altitude of target. In that case we can make a final glide to each point selected, if we know it’s altitude. -
Page 13: Res (Altitude Reserve)
When we disable receiving of NMEA both parameter values remain. Receiving of the NMEA can be enabled back at any time. If the GPS device is not connected on the LX160, or the GPS data is not valid, this menu has no use. (GPGGA, GPRMC, GPRMB) -
Page 14: Pass (Password)
9.1. POL (polar) The LX160 contains a database of polars. We can choose from 85 different types of polars (table). If the polar is set to index 0 (USER). The pilot can set the polar parameters (a,b,c and wing loading kg/m2) -
Page 15: Pola,B,C,Load (Polar Parameters)
9.2. POLa,b,c,load (polar parameters) If polar is set on index 0 (USER), then LX160 uses for calculating of glide path this four parameters, which can be set by user in this four menus, where Pola is parameter a, Polb is parameter b, Polc is parameter c and load is wing load of glider (kg/m2). -
Page 16: Conp (Wind Method)
LX160 21.09.06 9.3. ConP (wind method) Two wind modes are available. Automatic (Wind component) and Fixed (set by user) Figure 20 Wind methods 9.4. IND1..4 (indicators settings) In this menu we can set, what will be displayed on the LCD indicator. We can make settings for four different indicators (depends on the address switches on the back side of LCD indicator). -

LX160 21.09.06 9.5. UNIT (measuring units) We can choose between four types of unit settings (European, English, American, Australian). We can see them on table. Figure 22 Units setting Euro altitude vertical speed wind speed distance Page 17... -
Page 18: Scsp - (Speed Command Speed)
LX160 21.09.06 9.6. ScSp - (SPEED COMMAND Speed) In this menu we can set the speed at which the LX160 will switch from VARIO to SC mode if AUTO SC is enabled. Figure 23 SC speed 9.7. Teco (total energy compensation) If we have the LX160 set-up for pneumatic TE, (connected to a TE probe), TE compensation is set to 0%. -
Page 19: Int (Vario Integrating Time)
LX160 21.09.06 9.9. INT (vario integrating time) Time of integration (average vario) can be set in this menu. Time range is from 1 to 40 seconds Figure 26 Integrator time 9.10. PASS (disable/enable) During flight we can enable or disable PASS menu in set-up menu. -

Page 22: Final Glide Calculation
Target 1 If navigaltion will be always on our home airfield (where we take off After power on LX160 altitude and target altitude (elevation) are set on 0 m(ft) - (QFE). Glide path will be calculated always to 0m. Altitude on LX160 is D Example 2: We are flying task. -
Page 23: Some Special Functions
Some special functions 10.1. Initialisation of memory If settings on the LX160 are unusual (e.a. distance is negative), we can set all values back to the default settings. This action can be done, if we switch off the instrument, push down VOL and MC together and switch the instrument on. -
Page 24: Faq - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you tell me how to zero the vario? A: In password menu enter:01049 and waituntil autozero procedure is finished. Q: My glider is not on the polar list of LX160. How can I calculate aPolA,PolB and PolC parameters? A: Use LXpolar program in LXe. -
