LX Zeus Mobile

LX Zeus Mobile is a derivate from LX Zeus 4.3. The unit uses a 4.3 inch display, the same as by Zeus
4.3. The unit is prepared to be installed as an integral part of the panel, but can be also used as a mobile
device installed on panel by using a gooseneck. A vario unit is also a part of delivery and its default
configuration is a black box solution. An upgrade to color display and the needle is possible at any time.

1.2 Hardware concept

The system is designed to offer flexible solutions of system configurations, so the pilot is able to provide
some kind of custom design. At the back side of the unit there are plenty of connectors which make it
possible to connect (plug and play) a various palette of GPS signal sources, as the unit does not have
integral GPS receiver. Units as Colibri, LX 20, VL and any other GPS source which are capable of
delivering NMEA data at nearly any baud rate, are compatible.
A special plug is provided for Colibri II connection and in that case Colibri II is also powered from Zeus.
Using of Colibri II offers some important benefits for the pilot. The benefits are:
automatic switch on of Colibri II as Zeus is powered on.
automatic power off after Zeus will be switched off and the system is no longer in flying mode; if
flight status is detected, Colibri II will continue logging its own internal battery.

When two GPS sources are connected at the same time, both signals are combined and losing one of the
GPS sources will not degrade system availability. Colibri II is used as an IGC flight recorder in the case of
an IGC approved solution. In that case a high level of communication is established between Colibri II and
Zeus and the pilot is able to operate the system in the same way as by an integral flight recorder. The
Colibri II unit can operate in portrait and also in landscape orientation. Changing orientation is very easy
and can be done by pilot. See Colibri II user manual for more information.

Rotary switches and push buttons
There are 8 push buttons and two rotary switches on
the front of the unit. Also the rotary switches have a
double push function (short and long press). On one side
there are five push buttons which all have a double push
function (short and long press) and on the other side
there are three push buttons with one push function.
Buttons are labelled and this makes unit manipulation
very easy. (Zeus 2.8 has a 4x4 push button organization.
