3. General information
The SensBox is a universally usable Sensor platform for leisure activities in a wide
and varied range. The measurements provided by this device serve as information
for the user and are intended to support him in his activity. The instrument
records his movements in 3D on a SD-card in the internationally common *.igc
format. The *.igc file is provided with a digital signature which will make visible
possible manipulations of the file.
The execution of all activities is however always carried out in one's own
responsibility. Bräuniger GmbH may never be held responsible for a possible
malfunction of the SensBox in no application whatsoever. The casing is
waterproof. Therefore the SensBox can be used for all outdoor activities.
4. Startup
The SensBox is supplied with the following components:
a. USB cable
b. USB plug-in power supply for 100 … 240 V~
c. 4 GB SD smart card ( inserted into the device )
d. carrying pouch
Before the first switch-on of the SensBox please check if all parts are present.
As the next step the built-in Lithium-accumulator should be charged once.
For this purpose please connect the USB cable with the SensBox and the plug-in
power supply. The charging process will be automatically stopped upon fully
charged battery and will last several hours according to battery status. Due to the
fact that it is a standardized USB interface, the SensBox can also be charged at
other USB charge ports.

5. Switching on/and -off the SensBox
Please press the On/Off key, the display shows „ON“, then press the „OK“ key for
confirmation. The instrument will then automatically switch to operation mode
via display of the device's serial number and of the installed firmware version.
Switch-off: if the Switch-on/-off key is pressed for at least 3 sec., the display shows
„OFF“, which is then confirmed with „OK“. By this process all data are stored on
the SD card.
6. Firmware update
In general the SensBox is provided with the current firmware. However, because
time and again improvements, or the removal of bugs require an adaptation of the
firmware, it is recommended to watch for the currently valid firmware.
Upload of a new firmware: Switch-off the instrument. Insert the SD card with
the new firmware file into the device.
Press the key and simultaneously press a long time the Switch-on/-off key.
The device queries OK? -> Confirm by pressing the key.

Reset: If the device does not perform as expected (crash of the firmware) one can
reset it by simultaneously pressing the keys and as well as the on-off
switch.
7. Selection and settings of diyplay mode
Handling of the SensBox is in principle self-explanatory and easy. After
switch-on the altimeter function is always displayed. The basic setting of the
altimeter is adjusted in the factory to the 1013 hPa standard. If display of the
current altitude value for the respective location is required, the SensBox must
be adjusted to the actual atmospheric pressure, such as any other barometric
altimeter. This is performed in menu item Air pressure, unless the actual altitude
value is known and can therefore be adjusted.
Each further pressing on the „OK“ key shifts to the next display mode.
In the current firmware 1.00.06 are available 9 ( 10 ) modes:
Altimeter
Variometer - optical and acoustical
Air pressure ( QNH )
Magnetic compass
GPS Speed over Ground
GPS Position
Time of day ( UTC )
Memory display
Acceleration ( momentarily not yet active )
Volume
According to the mode which is displayed, it may be necessary to execute
an adjustment of the display.
This procedure is in principle the same for most of the display
modes. Therefore it is exemplarily described and illustrated
here in detail only once.
At this point the correction of altitude display is described.
As the altitude display is changed according to atmospheric pressure,
it is necessary to perform a correction in order to have a correct barometric
altitude display during a flight.
