SinkF
Sink tone/alarm
frequency This tone deepens when sink increases. The basic tone cannot be set
to a higher frequency than the climb acoustic. The basic tone
frequency of the sink acoustic may be set lower.
The warning tone for stall alarm is a midrange tone, short beep, long pause and full volume.
All of these settings can be tested in simulation mode.
If a low and quiet random noise can be heard at the beeper this is a normal effect of
operation.
4.5 Sink tone On / Off
Multiple press on F1 until the info field shows: “S.Thresh -0,6” Now with F2 you toggle
between Sink tone ON and Off. To change the point at which the sinktone is active please
use the arrow keys ▲▼ . This point also can be adjusted in Basic Settings / Sink tone
threshold.
5 Speed
The COMPETINO has an input for a vane wheel speed sensor. It shows the true air speed
and begins to make correct measurements above 1km/h; it is also well suited in determining
the wind strength at take-off. In the Basic Settings > Speed Correction vane it is possible
to calibrate the displayed speed from 70% to 150% (default is 100%).
The wind vane sensor measures the true air speed. True air speed = TAS.
Speed readings are only shown in digital displays. Air Spd and Gnd Spd .
Many paraglider pilots fly without a speed sensor. In this case we recommend displaying only
the GPS-Speed (ground speed). From SW Version 2.12 up it is possible to display a
calculated Air Speed, even when flying without the vane sensor. The value is found by a
vector addition of Gnd Spd and Wind. To get the wind in strength and direction, the pilot has
to fly a full circle regularly.
5.1 Stall Alarm
This Alarm is audible, consisting of short beeps with 100% volume.
The speed for activating the stall alarm can be adjusted in the Basic Settings / Stallspeed
and likewise, the altitude can be set to a point from above which the alarm is inactive.
If the stall alarm is set to the lowest adjustable value of 0 km/h (mph), it is turned off.
