3.9 Troubleshooting
System diagnostic functions are built into the system. When the device is powered up, various
system checks are performed and errors may be reported or recorded at this time. During operation
of the device, errors may also be detected by the system and reported or recorded.
If malfunction or strange behaviour is witnessed, the diagnostic functions and error messages may
be useful in determining the cause of the problem.
Log files generated by XCSoar may be downloaded onto the USB memory stick for inspection by
experts to help troubleshoot the problem.
3.10 Maintenance and care
Altair has no user-serviceable parts inside the case. Opening the case without prior permission
from triadis engineering GmbH will invalidate the warranty.
There is high voltage equipment inside Altair. Do not open the instrument case.
In the event of equipment failure, contact triadis engineering GmbH or an approved service center
for repair.
The following guidelines suggest how to best care for your instrument:
• Try to protect the instrument from dust and damp conditions.
• Protect the instrument from extreme heat. Keep the glider’s canopy cover on when the
aircraft is parked in hot sunny conditions for extended periods of time.
• Do not apply extreme loads to the wiring harness or instrument switches and knobs.
• Use a soft cloth damped with water only for cleaning the panel face and instrument cover.
• Take particular care in cleaning the display to use a cloth designed for cleaning eye-glasses,
free from grit. Another suitable method is to use the individually wrapped cleaning tissues
designed for cleaning PC and laptop screens.
• Do not cover the light sensor.
3.11 Software and database maintenance
For software and database maintenance, refer to the Altair Maintenance Manual.
