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

Overview of the system Version 1.0, June 2015

Page 15 of 65

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

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.

5.2 Connection and Functionality Check of All Peripheral Units

The main display unit is connected to 12 Volt power via the 15-pin SUB-D connector. The main display unit, vario unit and other vario indicators are connected via the RS485 bus and the connectors are labelled with “RS485” at each end. Please ensure that both units are connected correctly before the first power on. The power wires (red and blue) should be connected to the main display unit.

Installation and Configuration Version 1.0, June 2015

Page 40 of 65

Even though there is an automatic fuse in the instrument it is VERY IMPORTANT to use an external fuse (max. 3A). Power supply cables should use a minimum of

0.5 mm² AWG20 wires.

When main unit is connected to vario and other peripheral units, we can make functionality test. After power up, vario unit should turn on. Other peripheral units have on visual indication, so they will be tested on main unit.

5.2.1 Vario Unit

5.2.1.1 Connecting vario unit

Vario unit is connected to main unit through RS485 bus. SC cable is used for external switch, for switching between climb and cruise mode. In case that SC is connected to flaps switch, VP (vario priority) is connected to switch on stick. Inputs IN1...4 are used to connect to gear switch, airbrakes, etc...

Audio speaker is plugged on vario unit Audio port. Audio port has standard 3.5mm phonojack (mono).

5.2.1.5 Inputs

V9, V8, V80 and V5 variometers are having 6 programmable digital inputs. They are labelled with SC, VP, IN1, IN2, IN3 and IN4 on V5/V9 cable-set. In the moment digital input can represent the state of following actions:

• SC

• Vario priority

• Gear down and lock

• Airbrakes open

• Water ballast open

• Mute vario sound

Digital input shall be wired via switch to ground and it shall open or close, when selected action is performed. A green light will light. If necessary, check

Invert

check box, to reverse the operation of digital input. Once digital inputs are connected the system will warn pilot, if airbrakes are open on takeoff and when gear is not locked prior to landing.

5.2.2 Installation of Options

All options (Rear Seat Device, 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 main display unit also powers all devices connected to the bus. An automatic fuse built into the main display unit prevents damage to the digital unit should a short circuit in the wiring or in some attached device occurs.

5.2.2.1 Remote Sticks

LXNAV remote stick is connected to RS485 bus through RS485 splitter.

Be careful, that connect correct colour wire to pin, which is marked with same colour.

PTT wires are connected to radio, SC is connected to Speed to fly input of vario unit.

If you are installing remote stick into double seater gliders or aircraft, be careful. Stick for rear seat is marked as DS. DS remote stick is programming to control

seat.

5.2.2.2 Flarm

Mostly Flarm is built inside main display unit. In this case we need to connect Flarm antenna to the connector marked with Flarm.

Flarm antenna connector is SMA type. Normally we supply dipole antenna on approx. 1m long cable. For good Flarm reception, Flarm antenna must be positioned vertically, as far as possible from metal parts, cables and instruments. We had very good experience installing Flarm antenna in the tail of the glider.

5.2.2.3 External Flarm or Power Flarm

If main display unit has no internal Flarm, user has a possibility to connect to it external Flarm or Power Flarm. All Flarm/Power Flarm items will be displayed on the navigation map, with same functionality as is with built-in Flarm.

External Flarm/Power Flarm can be connected to the main display unit with

LX5FLARM

cable.

On main display unit side LX5FLARM is connected to 5 pin rounded connector. On the other side of LX5FLARM cable is 6 pin standard IGC RJ12 plug connector, which is plugged into Flarm/Power Flarm port.

Using improper type of cable may harm your display unit or Flarm/Power Flarm units.

For connection to the power Flarm is prepared special cable LX5PF, with RJ45 on Flarm side.

5.2.2.4 ADSB receiver

It is possible to connect to the system with build in Flarm an ADSB-receiver TRX-1090 from Garrecht Avionics (www.garrecht.com).

TRX-1090 can only be connected to the system with integrated Flarm option.

The TRX-1090 has been developed to upgrade the FLARM collision avoidance system, which is installed in more than 13.000 aircraft worldwide. The unit will be connected between FLARM and a FLARM compatible external display unit and will simultaneously show FLARM targets and Mode-S transponder equipped aircraft with ADS-B output capability. The presence of transponder equipped aircraft not broadcasting ADS-B output will be detected and indicated on the connected display as a non-directional target. The TRX-1090 comes with a high sensitivity low distortion receiver unit and a highly complex and powerful signal processing unit with multi-level error correction algorithms to provide data with a very high accuracy.

5.2.2.4.1 TRX tool

Using the TRX-Tool program you should configure also TRX-1090 to be used together with the system. TRX-Tool can be downloaded on the web (http://www.garrecht.com) under Support/Downloads/Software section. Run the TRX-Tool program and connect the TRX1090 to PC using a USB cable. Select Port4 tab and change connected equipment to LX8000 (or FLARM without RX line connected).
