The vario indicator built into the LX 8000 vario unit is always Indicator 1
Each further indicator (available as option) has a DIP switch on the rear side that sets and
identifies the indicator and enables it to be programmed under that identification. The
positions of the switches are listed below.
SW 1 ON Indicator set1
SW 2 ON Indicator set2
SW 3 ON Indicator set3
All OFF Indicator set4
After identification, the needle and the two numerical displays of each indicator can be
programmed to display the following parameters:
All settings should be made for vario and speed command mode separately (e.g.: VAR
NEEDLE =needle in vario mode, SC NEEDLE = needle in SC mode).
Needle settings: Vario, SC, NETTO or RELATIVE = (netto – 0.7 m/s),
Upper numerical line: Integrator, time, flight time, task remaining time
Lower numerical line: Altitude (NN altitude), Distance (distance to the navigation point),
Glide diff. (final glide altitude difference), Speed (TAS), Leg speed (speed on leg), QNH (ft)
(NN altitude in ft), Flight levels.
