10.3 ADSB-Receiver (TRX-1090)
From firmware version 2.3, it is possible to connect to LX8000F an ADSB-receiver TRX-1090
from Garrecht Avionics (www.garrecht.com).
TRX-1090 can only be connected to LX8000 with integrated Flarm option.
The TRX-1090 has been developed to include the very popular FLARM collision avoidance
system, which is installed in more than 13.000 aircraft worldwide. The unit will be
connected between FLARM and a FLARM compatible external display unit and will
simultaneously show FLARM targets and Mode-S transponder equipped aircraft with ADS-B
output capability. The presence of transponder equipped aircraft not broadcasting ADS-B
output will be detected and indicated on the connected display as a non-directed target. The
TRX-1090 comes with a high sensitivity low distortion receiver unit and a highly complex and
powerful signal processing unit with multi-level error correction algorithms to provide data
with a very high accuracy.
10.3.1 Installation
Disconnect cable from the Flarm external display and connect the free cable to Port4 on the
TRX-1090. Use the Colibri cable and connect it between PORT2 and Colibri port on LX8000.
On the LX8000 go to the setup menu and choose Hardware->Flarm menu item. Change
mode to Ext.(Colibri) for LX8000 or Ext.(PC) for LX8080.
