Page 8: Mechanical Installation
Mechanical Installation Upon delivery, undertake visual inspection of the package contents for signs of transport damage and verify the information on the type plate sticker against your order. Do not open the device housing. For longer storage of the device, select a dry and clean environment. Make sure that the device is not stored near strong heat sources and that no metal chippings or other dirt can get into the device or its connectors.
Page 9 Menu under “Align DOF”. Three-dimensional CAD-models of the units and the cutout of the display unit are available at the RS Flight Systems website. As waste heat is dissipated via free convection, leave at least a 5 mm gap from the aluminum surfaces to any other object.
Page 10: Temperature Sensor Installation
Temperature sensor installation It is recommended to install the temperature probe as closely to outside air temperature (OAT) as practically possible, e. g. inside the nose tip or in the front air vent of the aircraft. Errors in temperature measurement (usually, too warm measurement due to heating from cockpit systems) can have an impact on the airspeed calibration and therefore negatively influence wind anemoi calculation.

Page 14: Electrical Installation
Electrical Installation The sensor unit has six electrical connectors and two pressure connectors on the front side. The front side of the sensor unit is shown in Figure 5-1. Label, type of connector and usage are listed in Table 5-1. Before powering up the unit for the first time, carefully check your wiring. There is one microSD slot to update the firmware, one RJ45 connector to import GPS data from the NMEA output.

Figure 5-1: Sensor Unit Front View Display 1 / Display 2 Connector Displays 1 and 2 use a standard RJ12 connector (6P/6C). Pins 1 and 2 are supplied with +5 VDC, Pins 5 and 6 are ground. The extended pin allocation is shown in Table 5-2. Pin Number Signal Name Function...
Page 16 anemoi The RJ45 connector has the standard IGC pinout, however only the pins Rx ( receives anemoi data) and GND are actively used. does not supply or consume power nor send data (Tx) via the NMEA RJ45 connector. anemoi is operated in parallel with other devices on the RS-232 NMEA bus, a 1:1 Y- Adapter can be used to split the signal.
Page 17: Power Connector
POWER Connector The sensor unit uses a standard D-SUB 9 connector. Pin 1 is supplied with +12 VDC, Pin 5 is ground. Pin must be fused with a 1.0 A circuit breaker. The P/N of the circuit breaker is listed in Table 3-2. The anemoi is delivered with a prewired power connector harness, including two power cables and the temperature sensor.

GPS Receiver Connector anemoi GPS receiver has a mating connector for the GPS port. The P/N of the receiver is listed in anemoi Table 3-2. The GPS receiver can be used, if no NMEA source is available in the aircraft. Figure 5-5: GPS receiver 02.04.2022 | V1.02 Installation / Operation Manual...

Page 20: Operation
Operation anemoi In this chapter operational procedures for the are described. Startup anemoi starts up as soon as the required supply voltage is provided. The subsequent startup screen is displayed for 2 seconds. The startup page is shown in Figure 6-1. The startup page gives details about the current software version while internal testing routines are performed to ensure correct operation of all electronic components and sensors (TMP, GPS, PRS, IMU).
Page 21: Wind Page
Figure 6-2: Wind page Figure 6-3: AHRS page Figure 6-4: Data page Wind Page The blue arrow of the wind page symbolizes the current wind vector, and the grey arrow symbolizes the 3-minute average wind vector. The wind page is shown in Figure 6-2 The wind vector is always shown “Heading Up”, meaning that it is aligned with the physical world outside the cockpit.
Page 22: In-Flight Operation
If the incoming NMEA data provide no GPS (e. g. when the aircraft is in a hangar, or when the NMEA source has not found GPS after boot yet), GS and track are indicated as “- -”. If GPS is available on the ground, correct values for GS and track are displayed.
Page 23: Setup Menu
Due to physical constraints, the quality and reliability of the indicated wind vector has small variations depending on flight phases. Right after takeoff: Live wind is very reliable, as the takeoff roll has given the inertial measurement platform an ideal opportunity to perfectly align. Normal soaring maneuvering with occasional heading changes (10°...
Page 24: Calibrate Prs
Calibrate PRS anemoi pitot pressure sensor must be calibrated at least once after installation of the device. Calibration must be done indoors (e. g. hangar). To compensate for any long-term drift of the differential pressure sensor, a new calibration should be done if the TAS indication exceeds 20 km/h on ground in calm wind Note that at low airspeed (i.

After choosing a duration (Figure 6-8) and confirming (Figure 6-9), AHRS will be locked for the chosen amount of time. Note that GPS signal is required to lock the AHRS, as time and date information is transferred via NMEA. If no GPS signal is available, the system will not be locked, and an error message will be displayed.
Page 26: Errors
Errors Sensor error anemoi As soon as an error in any of the four sensors (GPS, IMU, PRS, TMP) appears, switches to the startup screen. The malfunctioning sensor is highlighted with a red color. In Figure 6-12 there is an exemplary GPS error displayed which occurred due to a lack of satellite signal reception.
