in two ways. Firstly, it will show the pilot all surrounding aircraft on the Flarm radar sceen.
Secondly, it will warn the pilots of upcoming threats with the Flarm warning screen. More info
on this subject can be found in the Flarm radar page sub-section of this manual.
The Era has a dedicated User port on the back, used for providing bi-directional cabled com-
munication to a 3rd party device using the RS232 communication protocol. More information
on this subject can be found in the Connectivity section of this manual.
The Era has a dedicated Inputs port, intended for the Inputs interface, used for connecting
up to 5 external micro-switches for triggering different functions in the Era. More info on this
subject can be found in the Inputs sub-section of this manual.
The Era features an OAT (outside air temperature probe), a 3.5 mm audio-put jack and two
antennae connectors, for both the GPS and connectivity module.
The Era features high-precision digital sensors based on the latest MEMS technology for
attitude, vario, speed, 3-axis gyros, 3-axis accelerometers. All sensors are sampled with at
least 100Hz.
On the back side of the Era, we can see the three pressure connectors, for connecting P

pressures. The Era also has a separate, internal altitude pressure, used for
logging flights.
The Era comes in two sizes, fitting the standard 80mm (3 1/8 inch) and 57mm (2 1/4 inch)
aviation instrument holes. The larger Era uses a transflective technology display.
NOTE
Find out more about transflective technology displays and why this technology is
so important in air navigation in our Whitepaper on transflective technology.
The Era has an internal memory capacity of at least 8GB, used for storing flights, settings and
database files.
LX Era can be used in two different configurations:
• Standalone configuration - LX Era represents vario navigation system and has all options
active. Unit will turn on when enter push/rotary knob is pressed.
• Zeus configuration - LX Era serves as vario system controlled from LX Zeus. Unit will
turn on automatically when main switch (Zeus) is turned on. Flarm radar settings and
thermal assistant settings are set on LX Era while all other settings are controlled by
settings on the LX Zeus. Some options are disabled on the LX Era (setup, task edit) but
all options become active when backup mode is detected.
