3 System planning

In this chapter, installer will be informed, how and where can be installed particular parts of
equipment. Some parts have environmental and location requirements, some not.

3.1 Power consumption

Some modules get power supply from the main unit. These modules do not need a circuit
breaker. It is calculated for main unit. Other parts of equipment that are having its own
power supply, should have installed specified circuit breakers.

3.6 Cooling requirements

In the moment there is no cooling requirements, if possible ventilation should pass through
instrument panel to exchange some warm air. That will drop the temperature behind the
panel for few degrees.

3.7 Mounting requirements

Most of LXNAV units are fastened with screws.

Overview of the system Version 1.0, June 2015

Page 14 of 65

4 Overview of the system

4.1 Overview

LXNAV system consists of many different displays, units and sensors, which talk to each
other via LXNAV RS485 bus.

4.2 Communication BUS

Most devices in LXNAV system talk to each other via RS485 bus. We are using standard
SUBD-9 pin connectors. Bus signals can be split via RS485 splitters. More splitters can be
bridged together with RS485 bridge cables.

Another way of communication with peripheral devices is RS232 serial interface. This
interface is mostly used to connect 3rd party devices into LXNAV system (external Flarm,
ADSB, radio, transponder, PDA). For each device we have specially designed cable.

4.3 Harness and Cables

Main unit cable has two power supply wires (red for positive +12V DC and blue for ground
potential), RS485 bus cable with DB9 connector and serial RS232 cable with rounded 5 pin
connector. This rounded 5 pin connector is designed to be mounted in to the panel. It can
be used for connection with PDA device.
Vario harness has also one DB9 RS485 connector, which can be directly plugged in RS485
connector from main unit. In case, we need to connect additional RS485 device (Remote
stick, flap sensor, Magnetic compass, Radio Bridge,), we need to have RS485 splitter. If
splitter has not enough sockets, we must expand RS485 bus to another RS485 splitter

through RS485 bridge cable. Compass and Flap sensor have DB9 connectors that can be
plugged directly into the RS485 splitter.

Flarm displays are using standard cables that fit’s to IGC/Flarm standard RJ11 connectors.

4.4 Splitters

LXNAV system can use two types of splitters

- RS485 splitter

- Flarm splitter

RS485 splitter is detailed described in chapters above.
Flarm splitter is used, when we want to connect more than one Flarm display to Flarm port.

4.5 Ethernet port

Almost all devices having Ethernet port which is in the moment used only for development
purposes.

5 Installation and Configuration

5.1 Main unit and repeater unit

Before cutting out the panel, the whole cutting plan of the panel, including all indicators,
must be prepared. Next figure shows the cut-outs for the all types of the units that can be
installed into the panel.

Prepare the cut-out in the instrument panel according to the drilling template. Position the
Main display unit in the cut-out in the instrument panel. Tighten the main display unit with
attached 2.5 mm screws.

When installing the main display unit (LX90xx, LX8000) it is not necessary to
remove the rotary knobs. To install LX8080, is necessary to remove rotary knobs.

Position the main unit in the cut-out in the instrument panel. Tighten the main digital unit
with attached 2.5 mm screws.

When installing the LX8000, LX90xx it is not necessary to remove the rotary
knobs. Only by LX8080 is necessary to remove rotary knobs.

For LX8080 please remove the press

-

in covers from the four main rotary switches

on the LX8080. While holding the knobs, slacken t

he screws with a screwdriver.

Now the knobs can be removed (never use power to remove the knobs, you can
damage rotary switches). Remove the four M6 screws. Position the LX8080 in the
cut-out in the instrument panel. Tighten the LX8080. Tighten the knobs and fix
the covers

5.1.1 Installation of Options

All options except AHRS (LX8000D, LX8080D, Remote Control, Compass Module &
secondary vario indicators) are prepared to be connected to the RS485 system bus by use of
RS485 splitting units. Installation of any option is plug-and-play and therefore requires only
mechanical installation work. The LX8000 digital unit also powers all devices connected to
the bus. An automatic fuse built into the LX8000 digital unit prevents damage to the digital
unit should a short circuit in the wiring or in some attached device occurs.
