3 Basics
3.1 NANO at a glance
The NANO flight recorder is the smallest flight recorder designed in accordance with “All Flights” IGC specification. It has an IGC approval for all flights including world records. It
features an integrated 66-channel GPS receiver with built-in antenna, altitude sensor, ENL sensor, security micro-switch, Bluetooth module and 1700mAh battery. The built-in battery allows up to 35 hours of stand-alone operation. The battery is charged when the flight recorder is connected to a computer, NanoPower or wall charger.
Operation temperature for nano is from -20°C(68°F) to +60°C(140°F). Higher
temperatures may cause inflating battery.
Bluetooth is used for easy data exchange with a PDA.
The housing is made of robust ABS plastic. On the left side there is a micro-SD card slot, rocker button and five status LEDs. LEDs display the operational status. A 2 GB SD card is used for flight data storage. Flights are stored directly in IGC format and are downloadable through a USB connection which is compatible with all operating systems (MS Win, Linux and Mac OS).
On the right side there is small hole with a reset button. Use a pin to press the reset button. In normal operation, this button should never be used.
At the back there is a mini USB connector, which is used for charging and data transfer. The SD card is preloaded with the Nanoconfig program, which is used for uploading flight declaration and changing the settings of the NANO. Flight declarations can be also uploaded using a serial interface cable or Bluetooth (See chapter 5.1 for more details).

4 Operation
There are two modes of operation: Data transfer mode and Normal operation mode. When in data transfer mode, flight can be downloaded and NanoConfig can be run. Normal operation mode is when logger is ready for recording flights. The mode in which the NANO is operating can be determined from the LEDs. In data transfer mode the last two or three green LEDs will be permanently lit whereas in normal operation mode up to four LEDs will be blinking. See chapter 4.2 for a detailed explanation of each LED.
4.1 Powering on
There are three ways to power on NANO flight recorder. Press the rocker button and NANO will power on. It will go directly to normal operation mode. The LEDs will first perform a self-test blinking from left to right and then the NANO will go to normal operation mode and indication on the LEDs. Connect the NANO to a computer using a USB cable. It will automatically power on and the last two or three LEDs will light up. This indicates that the NANO flight recorder is in data transfer mode. You may now run NanoConfig or copy flights using standard methods for copying files. Connect the NANO to NanoPower. It will automatically power on and after approximately 20seconds the NANO will perform a self-test with blinking LEDs from left to right and then it will go to normal operation mode and indication of LEDs.
If you press or move rocker button, when in data transfer mode, NANO will revert to normal operation mode
4.2 Normal operation
During normal operation the first LED blinks when NANO is powered on. The second LED blinks when GPS status is ok. The third LED blinks when flight recording is started. The fourth LED blinks when the Bluetooth module is switched on.
GPS OK Bluetooth OK

NANO Version 2.16 February 2017
Page 15 of 27
Open this device to see its content.
In the root folder you will find flights created by the NANO and the NanoConfig program. The NanoConfig program will run only on Microsoft Windows operating systems. Double click to run it.
On first connection of the NANO to a computer it may not be recognized immediately. Disconnect the NANO from the computer and connect it again in order for it to be recognized.
4.8 Downloading flights
Turn off the NANO and connect it to a computer using a USB cable. Navigate to the root folder of the NANO and use your preferred method of copying files.
We recommend that you always copy your flights to a hard disk in order to have a backup of it in case of SD card failure.
Page 16
NANO Version 2.16 February 2017
Page 16 of 27
Flights are stored in files with the IGC standard filename. If you find it difficult to decode this standard, we recommended that you switch to detailed view to see the date of the file. In detailed view, file date and time show the landing time of the glider.
It is strongly recommended that you do not remove the SD card from the NANO to download flights. Use the USB cable to download flights from the NANO. The SD card should only be removed if it is malfunctioning.
Flights can be also downloaded using NanoConfig for Android devices. More details are in Ch.5.3.
4.9 Bluetooth pairing
In order to connect to the NANO via Bluetooth you have to search on a PDA for devices in range. (See chapter 5.2 to enable Bluetooth) The Nano will be identified as LXNAV-NANO­<SERIALNUMBER>. Click PAIR or CONNECT to connect to the NANO. A security pin must be entered. The pin code for the NANO is 1234 and cannot be changed.
4.10 Storing Nano
The Nano must be stored in a dry enviroment with temperature lower than 25°C (77° F). If the NANO will not be used for an extended time, it’s recommended, that you charge the battery fully beforehand. In the NANO and in the BATTERY are protection circuits, which protect the battery from being overcharged or overly discharged. If the NANO is stored with empty battery, eventually the battery will be discharged so far that will not be possible to charge it. The reason is internal circuitry, which protect the battery against being overly discharged.

5 Configure NANO
Use the NanoConfig program to configure the NANO. A flight declaration can be uploaded or various parameters can me modified using the program. The NanoConfig program consists of two major screens. A flight declaration screen and a settings screen.
You may toggle between these two screens by pressing the Declaration or Settings button in upper left corner of the NanoConfig program. Press the OK button to confirm changes and exit from the program. Press Cancel to abandon changes and exit without saving data.
It is important to run the NanoConfig program directly from NANO. Do not copy the NanoConfig program to another location as settings and declarations will not be written properly to the NANO.
The version of the program is written in the lower left corner of the NanoConfig window. When requesting support from LXNAV or reporting a bug, please always include the version of the program in your email.
All NANO configuration variables are stored in the SYSTEM folder of the NANO in a file named system.ini. It is strongly recommended that you do not modify this file yourself. If you need more information about the “system.ini file please contact us.
5.1 Uploading flight declaration
Flight declarations can be uploaded to the Nano in three different ways; Using the NanoConfig program, Bluetooth or the serial interface Declarations are stored in SYSTEM folder in a file called decl. The declaration file is formatted as a standard IGC header file. It is recommended that you do not try to modify this file yourself.
5.1.1 Using the Nanoconfig program
Run the NanoConfig program and go to the declaration screen. The declaration screen is split into two groups. Pilot and glider related information is in the top group and the task declaration is shown in the bottom group.
Page 19
NANO Version 2.16 February 2017
Page 19 of 27
5.1.1.1 Pilot information
Enter pilot and glider information in the pilot section. In the top right you will find two icons. The first icon will show a list of stored pilot information and second will add current pilot information to the list.
5.1.1.2 Task declaration
Before creating a task you have to load the waypoints from which the task will be created. Press the Load Waypoints button to load waypoints. Waypoints can be loaded from a CUP formatted file. Once waypoints are loaded you can create a task by typing the names of the waypoints. Use the icons in the upper left corner of the task declaration group to add or delete a point or to clear the whole task. Task points can also be deleted by pressing the DEL key or can be inserted by pressing the INS key.
5.1.2 Using Bluetooth or serial interface
Flight declarations can also be uploaded using the serial interface or Bluetooth (See chapter 0 for Bluetooth pairing). The NANO must be running in normal operating mode. The protocol used for uploading the declaration is same as used for Colibri, LX20, Posigraph or any other LX loggers.
When connecting through the serial interface you should use the same baud rate as is set for NMEA output on the NANO. When connected through Bluetooth baud rates are not important.
Please refer to the manual for the software used to upload flight declarations. (E.g. Seeyou Mobile, pocket*Strepla, Winpilot, FlyWithCE)
Page 20
NANO Version 2.16 February 2017
Page 20 of 27
5.2 Changing parameters
Run the NanoConfig program and go to the settings screen. The settings screen is split into two sections. Settings dedicated to the NANO and settings for NanoConfig.
Parameters for the NANO include recording interval, NMEA output and Bluetooth enable settings. In NanoConfig you can change the distance units used in the task declaration and the format of latitude and longitude.
5.2.1 Flight recording interval
The flight recording interval is set to one second by default. It is recommended that you keep this setting. Even with the recording interval set to one second, the NANO is capable of storing approximately 14000hours of flight. Having a recording interval of one second will allow you to do more accurate post-flight analysis and increases the probability of obtaining a data point in the observation zone.
If you wish to change these settings, use the up/down arrow or type a new value.
5.2.2 Automatically finish flight
If this option is enabled, flight will be automatically finished and digitally signed once conditions for finishing flight are met. Nano must fulfil following conditions for 30 second. GPS status is ok, ground speed is below 4m/s, vertical speed is within 0.2m/s and altitude is below 3000m.
5.2.3 Start recording on power on
If this option is enabled, recording of new flight will be automatically started when Nano is powered on. If this option is disabled Nano will start recording when vertical speed is above 1m/s and ground speed is above 8m/s. This option is mostly useful for paragliders.
When this option is enabled, option Automatically finish flight is ignored and also automatically turn off will not work.
Page 21
NANO Version 2.16 February 2017
Page 21 of 27
5.2.4 Automatically turn off Nano, when flight is finished
This option is very useful for Nano being installed more or less permanently into the glider. If this option is enabled, Nano will automatically switch off 30 minutes after flight is finished.
This option will work only if start recording at power on is disabled.
This option can be used only when nano is all the time connected to external power supply. It turns on when external power supply is present and turns off after 30 minutes, if no external supply is present and flight is finished.
5.2.5 Bluetooth
Check the Enable Bluetooth checkbox if you want to turn it on. By default Bluetooth is disabled.
When Bluetooth is enabled, the NANO will consume more power and the total endurance of a new and charged battery will reduce to approximately 14hours. When Bluetooth is enabled, there will be no output on the wired serial interface and task declarations can only be uploaded via Bluetooth.
5.2.6 NMEA output
Check Enable NMEA output to output NMEA data. The NANO will transmit the following NMEA sentences GPGGA; GPRMC, LXWP0 every second and LXWP1 once per minute. NMEA can be output to either the serial interface or Bluetooth but not to both simultaneously. Change the NMEA baud rate, if you want to output NMEA at different baud rates.

Q: My NANO will not turn off or function. It is displaying from left to right: no light, green light, green light, no light, red light. How can I fix this? A: That combination of LED's appears only in case of SD card error. That happens only if SD card is not inserted properly in socket, where it is hard to eject it. Now you must remove SD card and insert it back, then everything will be ok. To turn off NANO from described position the only way is to use the reset button with a paperclip or similar device.
Q: When I run nanoConfig, I'm getting errors. A: Probably Microsoft Net Framework is not installed.

Q: I have previously used the NANO on several flight and it worked beautifully and gave some good detail of the flights I made. It seems to have developed a problem where it no longer obtains GPS data. When I turned it on, the following lights were left illuminated on the NANO: 2nd Light from the left (GPS), 3rd Light from the left (Flight Recorder), 5th Light (Red) indicating a problem. None of the lights are flashing - they are fixed solid. I am now unable to turn the unit off also.
A: SD card is not inserted properly. Use paperclip to reset NANO.
Q: When I press the rocker button for a few seconds to power up the unit, sometimes it
does not do anything. A: You must push harder to turn on NANO. The button is intentionally made like this in order to prevent accidental power ups.
Q: I did not figure out how to start recording by moving the rocker button, it shows battery charge and goes back to displaying the power+GPS leds. Am I doing something wrong ? A: Recording can be started only if you moving faster than 40km/h, or vario is present. Rocker button function is only to check battery or event(short press) or long press for switching off.
