3.10.1.2 Vario /SC
In the Vario/SC sub-menu, functionality of the Vario can be set and the following variables
adjusted:
 Altitude Sensor – pilot can choose, which of two sensors in the device will be used for
determining current altitude. A decision can be made between internal IGC sensor
(measuring cabin static) or sensor which is connected to TE/ST pressure port.
 Zero frequency – the frequency tone generated by device on displaying vario at 0 m/s.
 Positive frequency – the frequency tone generated by device on displaying vario at max
range.
 Negative frequency – the frequency tone generated by device on displaying vario at min
range.
 Test audio – selected option will output the tone from the negative frequency to the
positive frequency, allowing the pilot to hear current frequency range and adjust it if
needed.
 Range – lets the pilot adjust the current scale of selected vario unit (In the case of kts
numbers 5, 10 or 20 can be set as scale). The same principle applies to other units.
 Filter – increasing or decreasing this number will have an influence on variometer response.
A smaller value will make the variometer more responsive to small changes, while a larger
value will do the opposite.
 TE level – will affect the Total Energy compensation. With the integrated Total Energy
compensation, TE probe is not required to be connected on instrument for instrument to be
compensated.
 Integration time – interval for calculating average vario.
 Vario silence – the sound of vario will not be produced below this set value. This helps the
pilot to not be distracted from small changes in areas of the zero. This feature can be turned
off or set between:
o -0.1 kts to -4.0 kts (For kts units)
o -0.1 m/s to -2 m/s (For m/s units)
 Max SC speed – SpeedToFly tone will be disabled once this speed is exceeded in glide mode.
 SC mode – setting will determine how SC mode is enabled.
o Manual – the pilot must manually switch mode during the change of flight, by using
external switch
o Circling – the device will automatically switch, when circling is not detected.
o Speed – the device will automatically switch, when a set speed is exceeded.
 SC switch – defines type of switch used (on, off or toggle mode)
 SC speed – speed at which unit will switch to glide mode. This only applies if the device "SC
mode" is set to "Speed" switch.
 SC silence – between 0 and set value, the SC sound will not be produced, if the device is in
SC mode.
