To add a new Sensor Switch, tap on the plus icon or on the No field of an existing sensor
switch entry.
A dialog will provide a list of sensors and their corresponding telemetry functions to choose
from. Note, you must have the corresponding telemetry module installed to utilize the
respective telemetry functions.
For example, if you have a General Air Module installed and you want to use the average
cell voltage for a switch, select General/Avgcell Voltage from the dialog.
The Item column lists which module and telemetry function is used for the sensor switch.
In this example it would be GEN.Avgcell Voltage.
The logic field determines as to how the measured sensor value is evaluated in real-time.
The options are:
•
Less than
•
More than
Between
•
Less than or more than
•
The Range1 and Range2 fields are used to set the sensor switch trigger values.
For example, you can create a condition that a cell voltage between 3.5 and 3.7 volts will
activate the switch. Another setting could be that a value of 3.5 volts or less will activate
the Sensor Switch.
The Hold provides the option to assign a Select Input Control which will hold or release the
current Sensor Switch output. It is like a latch function, the Sensor Switch will not
deactivate when the sensor reading returns within the set range, unless the Select Input
Control has the correct condition. This can be of use in situations where a certain condition
needs to be first dealt with and resolved, before clearing the output.
The Output column will show the state of the sensor switched On or Off.

range in which no Vario tone output should occur. This is essentially a dead band.
Tap on the Sensor field to select the sensor for the Vario Tone. This is applicable when
multiple sensors are installed.
Tap on the Reset icon to reset the Min/Differential/Max values.
The Min field value on the bottom of the screen provides the highest (worst) sink rate, while
the Max field value provides the highest (strongest) climb rate. The Differential is the
current difference between Max and Min.
You can assign a volume control (for example DV1) for the Vario Tone in the System -
Sound Set menu.

VARIO TONE
When an appropriate sensor (i.e. GPS, Vario) is
installed, the model can provide altitude information as
well as climb or descent information. For example, this
function is useful for sailplane pilots to know whether
the glider is in a sink or climb state.
The user is notified by a range of high or low pitched
audible tones to indicate the state of the glider.
Tap on the Control field to assign a switch (Input
Control) to activate or de-activate the Vario Tone
function.
Tap on the two Dead Zone (Min/Max) fields to set the
