Menu Mode - Flymaster Vario User Manual

Number
RPM Motor rotation (available when connected with Flymaster M1).
Time Current Time.
Vario Numeric value of the instantaneous Vario (shown in vario graph).
Voltage Current battery level in Volts
Note 1- The VARIO considers a thermal has been entered when the integrated vario value
is above 0.5m/s and considers the thermal as been exited when the integrated vario goes
bellow -1.0 m/s. Once in the thermal the Gain indicator will keep track of the maximum
altitude reached in the thermal. If the altitude is less than the the max thermal altitude then a
negative number will show the difference from the highest point reached. If the altitude is
equal or higher than the maximum reached then a positive number will show the altitude
gained since entering the thermal. The Gain indicator keeps track of how much altitude is
being gained in the thermal. When a pilot enters a thermal the VARIO will reset the Gain
indicator to 0 and will start to track how much altitude the pilot has gained. At a certain point
in the thermal the lift may become weaker and inconsistent. At this point the gain indicator
will show altitude loss in this inconsistency. Once the pilot climbs in the thermal again the
indicator will show the gain since entering the thermal.
Note 2- The "altitude" field (see Figure 6) indicates the absolute height in meters or feet
depending on the setting. This altitude corresponds to the barometric altitude and thus
depends totally on the QNH (absolute pressure at a given moment and location in regards
to the correspondent pressure at MSL).
The altimeter cannot be reset, but can be set using the corresponding menu option (see
section 6.2 ).

6 Menu mode

When in flight mode, pushing the menu (S1) button accesses the menu mode. When in
menu mode pushing the menu(S1) button will go back to flight mode.
