Operation Manual

• Upper Numeric Display: The parameter displayed can be configured separately for
Vario mode and SC mode. Following parameters can be displayed; average vertical
speed, local time, flight time, task remaining time.
• Lower Numeric Display: The parameter displayed can be configured separately for
Vario mode and SC mode. Following parameters can be shown: Altitude (NN altitude),
Distance (distance to the navigation point), Glide diff. (final glide altitude difference),
Speed (TAS), Leg speed (speed on leg), QNH (ft) (NN altitude in ft), Flight levels.
• GPS indicator shows the current GPS status.
• Battery indicator shows the current battery level. It will turn re, when the battery
voltage is below 11 volts.
• Vario range number indicates current vario range.
The LX8000 provides 4 different sets of data that can be displayed on the vario indicators.
This means that up to 4 indicators can be set to display different information; any additional
connected indicators are simple repeaters. Each indicator is set up from the following menu.
Each further indicator (available as option) has a DIP switch on the rear side that sets and
identifies the indicator and enables it to be programmed under that identification. The
positions of the switches are listed below.
SW 1 ON
Indicator set1
SW 2 ON
Indicator set2
SW 3 ON
Indicator set3
All OFF
Indicator set4
After identification the needle and the two numerical displays of each indicator can be
programmed to display the following parameters:
The vario indicator built into the USB-D is always Indicator 1.
5.1.12.2.3 LCD Vario indicator
This is type of the oldest vario indicator. An LCD vario indicator consists of:
• Needle
• Two numerical displays (upper and lower).
• Labels and indicators.
These following functions can be set (see next picture):
• Needle: vario needle (Vario, SC, Netto or Relative).
• SC Ring: Displays speed command at all times.
• Upper Numeric Display: Integrator, time, flight time, task remaining time. Upper line;
the parameter displayed can be configured in both Vario and SC modes.
• Vario Mode Indicator: Shows current flight mode (vario or speed command).
• Lower Numeric Display: Altitude (NN altitude), Distance (distance to the navigation
point), Glide diff. (final glide altitude difference), Speed (TAS), Leg speed (speed on leg),
QNH (ft) (NN altitude in ft), Flight levels. Lower line; the parameter displayed can be
configured in both Vario and SC modes.
