LX 10k
Basic operation
Document name: LX 10KUM
Document revision: R1
External modules, such as Flarm, Flap sensor, Joy, etc. will not work, as they require the main
power supply.
If you wish to turn the LX 10k off, while in flight mode, you will have to exit the flight mode by
going to Logbook/Flight statistics page, press the right push-rotary (PAGES) knob and confirm
the ’Finish flight’ question. The LX 10k will check the integrity and seal the flight and turn off, if
no external power is present.
A sure way of knowing if the LX 10k is in flight mode is to go to the Statistics/Logbook page.
If the Statistics page is present, with the altitude barograph present, the LX 10k is in flight mode.
You can simulate flight mode, while on the ground, by receiving a GPS lock and applying
slight dynamic pressure to the P
T OT
pressure port (or front entrance of Pitot tube), so the
IAS is above 10 m/s for about 5 seconds. You can keep the LX 10k in flight mode by then
disconnecting the GPS antenna, or by keeping the IAS constantly above 10 m/s.
For notes on how to take care of your LX 10k’s reserve battery, check the
Taking care of your LX 10k section of this manual.
WARNING
Great caution should be exercised when applying pressure for IAS simulation, as
the internal pressure sensor of the LX 10k, and other avionics, may get damaged
if excessive pressure is applied, water is present in the Pitot-static system, or
similar. LX navigation is in no case liable for any damages that may appear when
simulating and strongly discourages simulating flight mode while grounded.
However, if a simulation has to be done, the steps above are the safest.
