LX Eos user’s manual
After code is entered, LX Eos will report error, if code is not correct or start
update. Update can take up to 4 min. Device will automatically restart
after successful update. LX Eos will also update all LX CAN devices
connected to the system.
14.11Inputs
LX Eos has a possibility of five different user defined inputs. Each input
can be set accordingly. There are seven options to choose from:
- None: nothing is connected to the input.
- SC: the device changes mode from vario to SC mode.
- VP: (vario priority) the device goes to vario mode no matter in
which condition is SC mode.
- Event: event in flight recorder is activated and pilot gets a
message shown on display.
- Gear: If enabled under warnings will generate gear up/down
warnings after takeoff / before landing.
- Airbrakes: if enabled under warnings, will generate airbrakes
warning if they are opened during takeoff.
- Ballast: when active will automatically reduce ballast mass for
val ue s et on pol ar page (ball as t dump)
Inv – invert mode:
Each input has invert option. When invert option is enabled, it will “invert”
active state of this input.
Invert option:
- off: input is active when switch is closed
- on: input is active when switch is opened
A and N characters shows actual state of input. ‘A’ means ACTIVE and ‘N’
means NOT ACTIVE.
If two or more inputs are the same, the corresponding action will be made when all of them are active
(active = sw itch closed or switch open in Inv mode!).
How to connect switches to external switch interface, please refer to external switch installation section.
Functions of inputs:
SC:
LX Eos supports two modes of operation Vario and SC. With SC input, user can change between these two
modes.
VP:
Vario priority is used when user won’t to have vario m ode ac t ive. VP input has higher priority than SC input!
Event:
To trigger pilot event in logger with higher recording interval, this option of input should be selected.
Gear:
If any of inputs is selected as gear, gear warning will be announced at next conditions:
- gear is out 10min after take-off is detected and height is more than 500m above take-off location.
- gear is not out and altitude is less than 200m in 5km circle of take-off position and flight time is more than
5min.
- on outlanding (if airbrakes are out, elevation less than 600m QFE, distance from takeoff more then 5km)
and gear is not out.
