1.2 Options
By use of a bus system a wide range of optional interfaces can be easily connected to the basic configuration, without any significant installation work. The LX 7007 system bus is extended simply by use of 485 splitting units, which allow plug and play connection of additional devices. The following units can be connected to LX 7007 system bus:
Second seat device
Remote control, for both seats
Flarm option (integral part, not bus connected)
Secondary vario LCD vario indicators (unlimited number)
Electrical compass device
Voice module
1.2.1 Two seater configuration
A unit installed in the rear seat of the glider, is powered and receives all it’s data from the main unit. The communication between both units is exclusively via 485 system bus. An automatic TP and TSK update will follow after each power on, the airspace update is done on pilot demand. See LX 7007 D manual for details.
1.2.2 Remote control
An extremely ergonomic lather coated handle which includes 8 push buttons to operate LX 7007 and also two additionally buttons with open wires. This two buttons can be used for instance as PTT for radio and SC/Vario changeover command. Using a two seat configuration, two remote units can be installed to control the front and rear seats separately.
1.2.3 Flarm
Flarm electronics is completely compatible to original Flarm units and an integral part of LX 7007 C DU, if ordered as an option. All necessary connectors are available at the back of the unit (Flarm update port, Flarm External Indicator, Flarm antenna), which guaranties the same features as an original Flarm device. It is very important to point out that the whole system uses only one GPS receiver and therefore offers a low power solution. One Flarm External display is part of the delivery; extension to second seat is possible.
1.3 LX 7007 Compact C and LX 7007 Compact CB
Both units are derivatives of the LX 7007C & LX 7007 CB respectively. Configuration is the same as for LX 7007C, but there is no in built GPS. The following functions differ on the LX 7007 Compact C and LX 7007 Compact CB:
-no approved flight recorder (there is recorder but it cannot be used as an official IGC file)
-external GPS input plug and play compatible with Colibri, LX 20, Colibri II, Flarm)
-vario electronics built into main unit (not valid for CB)
Unit operation is almost the same as the LX 7007 C, so the same manual can be used. Functions that are different are marked.

2.3 SETUP
The SETUP is divided into two parts, First level (non system data) and the Second level (system data). Inputs done in the first level are connected with daily work, the settings done in the second level may change system characteristics and as such are significant.
2.3.1 Main Setup (First level)
All options are selected with the UP/DOWN () switch and can be entered at any time; The system settings are not affected. The Menu has six items, starting with QNH Reserve and ending with System which allows entry into system setup.
Once the desired option has been selected, press ENTER to access the sub-menu.
2.3.1.1 QNH RES (QNH and Safety Altitude input)
Input Procedure:
Use the UP/DOWN selector to choose the item it is required to change
(QNH, ALT.R.)
Press ENTER
Use UP/DOWN to select the value required and press ENTER to input it
Once all changes are complete, press ESC top return to SETUP menu
ALT.R : This setting is used to input the altitude reserve or safety altitude. Setting 0 means that no
altitude reserve is set for the final glide. After input the final glide is shifted and the arrival is calculated to the altitude set in the reserve menu.
Note!
Even after input of a reserve the final glide director will show you 0 glide deviation if the glider position is on the
shifted glide.
Finish line arrival on 0 m
Finish line arrival on 200 m
Note!
Some settings are so called global settings, not connected to pilot and
second parts are so called local settings. Local settings belong to pilots.
Local settings are accompanied with a man silhouette which to make
understanding more easy.
Note!
TRANSFER offers no inputs, but enables data transfer LX 7007 C to SD
Card, PDA, Colibri or PC.

QNH: Initial status after power on is undefined (- - - - - ). If the pilot wants to adjust the altitude reading due to
pressure changes during the flight, then an initial input of the actual QNH is required. Input is done with Up/Down and ZOOM. This procedure can only be made on the ground, after take off no initial input is possible. Following QNH input on the ground, then an update during the flight is possible.
FAI finish: if a badge flight is intended to be flown this menu could
be used to adapt arrival altitude relating to IGC rules. After input Yes the final glide will be adequately shifted if the start was above 1000m. This is valid only in task mode.
2.3.1.2 PILOT
Input of pilot personal data is possible with this menu. New input is done simply following an update of existing data and store as a new pilot.
Competition mode is linked to the pilot, so if one pilot has activated this function then the function will not affect other pilots. For future a pilot list transfer file transfer via SD card is foreseen.
2.3.1.3 LOGGER (Input of flight recorder parameters)
The flight recorder is fully approved by the IGC (A sub-committee of the FAI) and will produce secure flight records that are acceptable for all kind of FAI badge flights and also world records. After selecting LOGGER and pressing ENTER, the following flight recorder settings are accessible.
Class input means input of the glider class for instance Standard. For safety reason faster recording interval can be used close to the turn point. All necessary parameters are to be defined in near TP and near radius. IGC regulations require more frequent recording after a so called “Event function” has been activated (press the event button long). After event activation the recording interval will follow setting in “Event fix int”. Number of additional fixes is defined in Num. of fix.
Important!
Setting Competition mode (Y) will reduce selection of navigation modes.
Only Task, TP and Statistics will remain active. To recall standard
configuration, use long press on MC.

2.3.1.3.1 Vario & SC
Vario & SC allows the setting of the variometer and speed command. All vario functions are exclusively executed in vario unit (AU, USB or USB D), but the commands are sent from this menu.
Var. filter: This sets the time constant of the vario from 0.5sec up to 5 sec; the default setting is 2.0
seconds (higher figures results in a slower reaction of the vario needle)
Var. int: This setting defines integration period for the averager in seconds; default is 20
seconds
Var.range: This sets the full scale range of the vario
Smart var. : S.v. means Smart Vario, giving four levels of additionally dynamic damping of the vario
indication the function can enabled or disabled, see chapter 2.5 for details
ETA: This setting selects the parameter, VAR (daily vario average) or MC, (actual) that is
used to calculate the Estimated Time of Arrival. When flying a programmed task, the calculation takes account of the unflown portion of the task , around any TPs or APTs not yet reached
TAB: This setting defines the width of the audio dead band in speed to fly mode
Auto SC: This option defines the conditions by which the instrument is switched between vario
and speed command OFF: Switching is possible exclusively by an external switch, connected to the LX 7007 AU or USB unit GPS: When the GPS detects that the glider is circling an automatic change over to vario mode will happen after approximately 10 seconds. Detection of straight flight will cause a change to speed command. IAS: When the IAS exceeds a pre-set value. The IAS at which switching occurs can be selected in 5 km/h steps from 100 up to 160 km/h (or the equivalent in knots or mph)
SC Switch: if external switch is used for vario to SC change over, take note of the following:
The LX 7007 C has a connection for an external speed command switch, which is wired to LX 7007 vario unit. Using an external switch it is possible to switch between SC and Vario manually. Setting the SC Switch to ON means that closing of the switch will cause SC mode, and setting SC INPUT to OFF means that closing the switch will select Vario mode. There is a third option by setting SC INPUT to Taster and connecting a push button each press will toggle between SC and Vario (obligatory setting when using the LX Remote).

Note!
The external switch wired to LX 7007 AU/USB –D has an absolute priority and will override all other switching
methods.
WIND/COMPASS: N.C. means compass option not connected. When the optional compass module is
installed, the instrument uses magnetic track to make an additional wind calculation. The calculation requires the glider to fly straight for a specified period, which is set in this option. The default is 15 seconds, but the longer the period, the more accurate is the calculated wind.
2.3.1.4 TRANSFER
Transfer makes it possible to input Turn point data, Airport data and Airspace data into LX 7007 C. The files should be copied to an SD card by PC.TP files format should be .cup, airspace .cub and airports in .af format. Flight info (pilot and declaration) should be in .hdr (LX navigation format).
