2.3.1 Wind vane sensor The IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS is provided with a very precise speed measuring system, i.e. one entry with evaluation electronics for Flytec wind vane sensors. Advantage: wind vane sensors trigger correct readout already from approx. 1 km/h speed, these sensors are also perfectly suitable for detection of weakest wind strength values at starting site .
10 km/h during min. 60s, nor that the Vario has pointed to more than 0.1 m/s. Temperature The IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS is provided with a temperature sensor for the temperature compensation of pressure sensors, as well as for the automatic display contrast control. ...
Operation Manual IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS 3 Motor data from radio sensor FL-Motor 2 The IQ MOTOR-eco GPS is fitted with a FlyLink® transmitting- and reception module and is therefore capable to receive and to analyze the data of motor rotation speed and also both temperatures CHT (Cylinder head temperature) and EGT (Exhaust gas temperature) from the radio sensor module FL Motor 2.
Operation Manual IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS 3.2 FL-Motor-2 FlyLink Sensor Module 3.2.1 Device overview Switch-on: The device is automatically switched-on by an internal motion sensor. Switch-off: The device is automatically switched-off, when for 30 minutes no RPM signal was received, or when the flight instrument was turned-off.
Operation Manual IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS 4 Sensors 4.1 Motor rotation speed Motor rotation speed is captured via a magnetic sensor. By contrast to the capacitive method with one wire over the ignition line, the magnetic sensor captures the ignition current only if the spark effectively ignites.
The IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS calculates several readouts by position determination made by GPS. Assessment of GPS reception quality The IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS is fitted with a 20-channel GPS-receiver which is featured with lesser power consumption and also a significantly shorter satellite detection time. Precision of position is between 5 to 40m.
5.3.1 Display of actual coordinates If the IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS receives satellites by GPS-Receiver, the actual position is displayed Info. in the information field of the instrument by briefly pressing the key After 20 sec. the previous display screen will automatically reappear. This function is useful in relaying your location to some person after landing for your pick-up from there.
The recording mode does not need to be specifically activated. Each flight is automatically saved. The flight memory provided with the IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS not only records flight altitude but it also logs the position and the GPS-altitude of the pilot in the WGS84-coordinate system.

Battery type. A wrongly entered setting may lead to the result of the instrument’s premature switch-off and thus provides incorrect status information! We recommend not to use NiCd Accumulators.
Operation Manual IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS 11 Additional Information 11.1 Altimeter 11.1.1 How does an altimeter work? An altimeter is really a barograph because it doesn’t directly measure altitude, but air pressure. The barometric altimeter calculates altitude from the prevailing air pressure of the atmosphere.
Operation Manual IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS 11.2 Navigation 11.2.1 Reception quality of GPS The GPS-receiver ca follow up to 20 satellites simultaneously. After switch-on of the unit, it is necessary to have at least 4 satellites in reception in order to fix the position for the first time.
Operation Manual IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS 11.3 Flight Memory and IGC File 11.3.1 Evidence of flights – Security against manipulation The popularity of decentralized competitions has been growing enormously over recent years. Meanwhile 26 countries have accepted the OLC (Online Contest) convention. These agreements signify that any pilot can submit flights at will over the Internet for approval and evaluation.
