Page 3: Description
In connection with a variometer system, mostly the XCVario here is explained, e.g. true airspeed TAS can be calculated with the outside temperature (OAT) and the precise altimeter without hysteresis together with the TE vario signal allows final flight calculations with high reliability. -
Page 4: Features
Features • Black anodized aluminum providing effective shielding of EMV • Power supply directly from 12V with the onboard electrical system • Power consumption typically 6 W (465 mA at 12.9V) and 4 W for the 5.7 inch variant • Android 11 incl. -
Page 5: Overview
The following overview shows the embedding of the XCTouchNav in the cockpit environment. The standard case and most common case is the connection with an XCVario to the serial interface (recommended), that is connected itself to a FLARM. The second port of the Y-Piece may server for another device like a FLARM Traffic viewer. -
Page 6: Operation
Operation This chapter is taken from XCSoar manual, and provides basic instructions for using XCSoar in a typical local flight. It will demonstrate how to use key features. It assumes the configuration options have already been set up to the user’s preferences. These instructions are intended to provide a simple step-by-step guide to flying tasks of varying levels of complexity but are not intended to demonstrate all the features of XCSoar. -

The XCVario with a FLARM connected delivers exactly this data that can be provided by a RS232 serial cable connection (recommended way) or wireless via WiFi or Bluetooth. -
Page 8: Wireless Lan
In order to set up a wireless LAN connection (also called wireless LAN, WLAN or WiFi), e.g. to a variometer, here explained with the XCVario, the device must activate the “Wireless LAN” in Setup/Options/Wireless. After that, you can connect to the corresponding WiFi network ID of this device in your XCTouchNav WiFi settings. -
Page 9: Installation
Installation The device can be installed within the instrument panel with a corresponding cutout, dimensions see technical data section. The 7 inch model comes with two holders that are to adjustable in height so can be adapted to various panel sizes. The 5.7 inch model has threads in the front plate already, and can be screwed directly from the backside of the instrument panel. -

Note: After installation in the corresponding orientation, screen rotation has to be switched off in the Android settings of the device, in order to avoid turning of screen from g-forces: 1. Wipe down screen to lift up Android Quick Setup menu 2. -

existing switch in the panel, already the main switch will do, hence we recommend an extra switch to power off the device individually e.g. on low battery power, or if not needed. 8.3. USB There are four USB 2.0 interfaces, each of them can deliver 500 mA, in total 1.5 A can be drawn if the fuse used for the XCTouchNav features at least 2 Amperes. -

8.6. RJ45 connector ttyS7 and ttyS9 Both serial interfaces are similar with standard IGC assignment for the serial port. This interfaces implement the IGC Standard on the PC site, so devices like a FLARM can be connected to there. Any device with an IGC compatible port e.g. a FLARM or a Logger, can be connected with a standard 1:1 LAN cable to here. -
Page 14: Flarm
FLARM FLARM’s with an IGC compatible serial interface can be connected and powered by the XCTouchNav with a 1:1 cable. The maximum current is 0.5 Amperes the XCTouchNav can deliver. This enables the flight declaration or flight download from the FLARM via the navigation application (e.g. XCSoar). Page 14... -
Page 15: Krt2 Radio
KRT2 Radio The connection to a radio of the type KRT2, or another model if the navigation device (e.g. XCSoar) has a driver for it, can be established serially via rear interfaces ttyS7 or ttyS9. The baud rate should be set to 9600 baud. To do this, make the connection from the XCTouchNav’s pin 3 and 4 to the corresponding serial RX/TX of the KRT2, it is best to solder it there to the existing KRT2 Sub-D connector. -
Page 16: Electrical Connections Lower Side
8.7. Electrical connections lower side There are several electrical connections on the lower side that may be used, hence normally those should not be needed as usually space is limited in the instrument panel and there are similar connection on the rear side for USB, Power and Audio, hence there might be special applications for this. -
Page 17: Comparison Igc- And Fcc Standard
8.8. Comparison IGC- and FCC Standard The RJ45 sockets are numbered in the document according to the international standard of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Beside the FCC standard, there is also the International Gliding Commission (https://www.fai.org/commission/igc) that has defined a standard for the interfaces of IGC loggers. The XCTouchNav interface follows the IGC standard, but primarily uses the standard FCC numbering in this document. -

Page 19: Maintenance
10. Maintenance The device does not require any maintenance. Storage shall not be done in a humid environment. Ensure that relative humidity will not exceed 100% in order to avoid condensation. 11. Warranty Policy For the Navi, the manufacturer provides a guarantee of two years from the date of purchase with regard to the effort and material costs of the repair. -
Page 20: Permit
12. Permit For each instrument, if the equipment is part of the minimum equipment list or requires approval, it may only be installed if the supplier or manufacturer provides a document on the proper check for compliance with the respective specification of the individual piece of equipment, area of EASA this is usually the EASA Form One. For all other equipment, as well as for standard parts, a corresponding examination and documentation of the same is not required (e.g. -
Page 21: Limitation Of Liability
13. Limitation of Liability With the purchase of the device, the customer agrees that no liability for any direct or indirect damage, claims for damages or consequential damages of any kind and on any legal basis arising from the use of the device. This navigation device is a purely cross-country flight tactical device, it is not part of the required instrumentation for gliders, and in case of doubt it must not be used as the primary source for controlling/navigating the aircraft, especially in critical flight phases. -
Page 22: Ce Declaration Of Conformity
14. CE Declaration of Conformity DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY XCVario, owner Dipl. Ing (FH) Eckhard Völlm, Panoramastr. 86/1, D-71665 Vaihingen/Enz, explains that in the normal configuration the device hardware meets the requirements of the CE. The EMC compatibility corresponds to EN 301 489-3:2002-08 for a Class 3 SRD device (equipment type I).
