Flymaster Vario - Sink Alarm; Base Frequency; Increments; Volume

6.4.2 Sink Alarm
The “Sink Alarm” is highlighted when the confirmation of “Climb TH” is made. The “Sink
Alarm” defines a vertical speed value at which a sound (alarm) starts to be produced. This
alarm can be used to identify high vertical speeds, as for example, in a spiral dive. Set the
Sink Alarm to 0 to disable the alarm.
6.4.3 Base Frequency
Additionally the audio frequencies can be adjusted to match the user's preference, by
setting the “Base Frq” and “Increments”.
The “Base Frq” is the first frequency used to produce the initial sound which corresponds
to the climb threshold, usually 0.1 m/s. Later, as the climb rate increases, a bip, bip sound
is produced for which the cadence, and frequency, also increase. The “Base Frq” can be
set from 500 to 1500 Hz. The higher is the frequency value, the more high pitched the
sound is.
In order to change the base frequency value press the ENTER key after the “Audio
Frequencies” menu option is highlighted. This action will highlight the “Base Frq” value so
it can be increased using the UP key, or decreased using the DOWN key. The ENTER key
should then be pressed, thus confirming the “Base Frq” setting. The preset value for “Base
Frq” is 700 Hz.
6.4.4 Increments
The “Increments” parameter sets the frequency increment for each 0.1 m/s climb rate
increase. The “increments” can be set from 1 to 99 Hz. The preset value for “Increments”
is 10 Hz.I
Considering an “Increments” value of 10, and “Base Frq” of 700 Hz, the vario frequency at
1 m/s is 800 Hz.
6.4.5 Volume
The final option allows the user to adjust the sound volume. The current volume level can
be seen using the sound element (see chapter 5.1.2 for more details).
