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.

LX Navigation d.o.o. LX 7007 C May. 30th 2012

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).
Item FlarmNet which is positioned below Airport icon can be used
for input of Flarm IDs. This makes possible to recognize Flarm objects
under their custom names. The file is available on

also taken in account in the ballast calculation.
2.3.2.2 Airspace (Selection of airspace section and warning criteria)
The unit is capable of storing an almost unlimited number of airspace sections.
Selection of suitable area should be done by pilot after use of this menu.
Airspace file uploading to LX 7007 C is exclusively via SD card. Active file
menu will show you all stored airspace sections. Select section of interest
by Up/Down.
Input of Warning Yes will produce an audio warning close to the airspace. See also chapter
Graphic/Appearance.
Note!
LX 7007 C is able to use only one airspace section at the same time, the section should be enabled in Airspace
menu of System Setup, also during the flight.
Creation of custom airspace files
To prepare custom airspace, in .CUB format, use our special tool for airspace creation and edit, called
LxAsbrowser, which is available for free on www.lxnavigation.si or on LXe CD.
2.3.2.3 AUDIO Vario (Adjustment of au dio )
A wide variety of audio variants can be configured by user:
Use Test audio function after every change to hear the
difference.
•VARIO mode: select type of vario audio, use test function to perform
•SC mode: defines interrupted tone (piep, piep) presence in SC, regarding to needle position
Note!
If two polars are entered, both of them will be
offered when booting.

•SC: VOL H audio volume will be increased or decreased during speed command period set (H) or ( L)
•0%: tone frequency at 0 m/s
•+100%: tone frequency at full + deflection
•-100%: tone frequency at full – deflection
2.3.2.4 Audio Alarm
The unit produces an audio alarm on reaching certain confirmation points.
This screen allows the parameters of the audio to be configured. Also
Entering airspace will be accompanied with an audio warning.
Setting in this menu makes it possible to customize the audio tone.
2.3.2.5 Turn points
This section is about some settings relating to turn points and
TP file management. The unit accepts .CUP file format
And the store capacity is almost unlimited.
Input of TP files is exclusively via SD card.
Near rad.: defines radius around the turn point which will be taken as a confirmed turn point after flying
of a so called simple task
A Simple task is flying without specifying a task around turn points and APTs. All TPs or APTs
detected as inside (Near rad.) will be taken as part of a task. (Not active at the moment)
Sort: defining TP sort criteria, alphabet and distance are offered
Task file: the unit is capable of managing up to three turn point files at the same time, combining the points
of all three files. If a turn point file activated as Task file includes also task data, those tasks will
be available for navigation (maximal 20) and selectable from imported task store.
The turn point files stored under File will not contribute task data.
File: only the turn points in the specified file will be available for navigation and user task creation
QP name: turn points names which are a result of saving the ‘actual position can be designated under
a pilot’s individual requirements. Such a turn point name consists of two characters and time.
QP date: if enabled all actual position names will be stored under date and time
QP auto sel.: if ON is set, the turn point will become active immediately after saving the ‘actual position’
is done, otherwise a normal select procedure will be required
Note!
If a Voice Module option is used, the alarms will be disabled
automatically to prevent double warnings.

sector or 500m cylinder.
Example of two different configurations
*input should be ½ of real angle, for instance 90 for 180 deg sector
** after flying an AAT it is recommended that manual setting is used.
Note!
The above settings are so called global settings and will affect all tasks which are stored in memory. Local
sector adjustment is possible in task edit (zone) of Task navigation menu.
2.3.2.7 Graphics
The graphic display of the LX 7007 C can show a lot of information
and if it is all selected, the display can become very cluttered.
This particularly applies to airspace information and the user
should ensure that only relevant airspace is selected. There are
four menus:
Orientation: North up, Track up and a combination of track up during climbing and north up during
straigt flight are offered
Tail: defines done track presentation in last x minutes
Airspace appearance: defines airspace appearance in graphic navigation pages.
Hide above
After an input different than Never, the airspace sections positioned higher than the set margin will not be shown
in the graphic navigation page. Using of this function will reduce display loading significant. It is important to

point out that the figure is not a fixed altitude but is connected to glider actual altitude. Setting 1000m means
that particular AS section which level is 1000m higher than glider actual altitude will not be shown.
Situation after using of “Hide above” function
Show as dot only
This setting makes possible to dismiss airspace warning rows,
In that case only dots positioned on the airspace border
will remain. In case that detailed airspace data are
required, press long on enter and a list of all near
airspace sections will open. Upper two places are
reserved for the sections which caused warnings.
Allocation of colours
To every AS class and type a colour (black, yellow, red or grey) can be allocated after using of appearance
Menu of Graphics. Fill command can be executed only on CTRs and Restricted areas.
Allocation of colours Fill option Example: NO Fill
Meaning of figures
Numbers connected to class and type defines zoom level (used in graphic navigation page) which makes
particular airspaces visible on the display. Zoom higher than set will not show particular airspace sections.
Middle Box Steer/Track
The middle nav box can be custom designed to show track or steering command.

Every setting should be set twice once for vario mode and
once for SC mode.
2.3.2.8 TE comp.
LX 7007 C has the capability to offer variometer total energy compensation in two
ways. Selection of compensation method is done after selection the % figure.
000% means total energy compensation when using a TE tube. When using this
solution the unit does not process compensation this depends entirely
on the TE tube and its installation. After an input of a percentage which is other than
zero the special software routines will be activated and will provide an electronic
compensation process. The default value is 100% but this can be varied following
a test flight.
The TE compensation can be fine tuned during flight with the following procedure. It is essential that this is only
done in smooth air; it is not possible to tune the TE accurately when it is thermic.
•Select 100 % and default TEF
•Accelerate up to approximately 160 km/h (75 kts) and keep the speed stable for a few seconds
•Gently reduce the speed to 80 km/h (45 kts)
Observe the vario indicator during the manoeuvre. At 160 km/h (75 Knots) the vario will indicate about –2 m/s
(-4kts). During the speed reduction the vario should move towards zero and should never exceed zero (slightly
positive indications are acceptable). If the vario shows a climb, then the compensation is too low, increase the
TE%; and vice versa. Repeat this procedure and make further adjustments if necessary.
The TEF (TE filter) is the compensation delay. Larger numbers will increase the delay and vice versa. During
the first test is recommended to use TEF 4.
Electronic TE is only effective when the pitot and static sources are co-located and the pneumatic lines to the
instrument are approximately the same length. The best sensor to use is the combined pitot/static Prandtl tube.
If problems are experienced with the electronic TE compensation, then the most likely cause is the glider's static
source. The static source can be checked by plumbing the pneumatic tubes for electronic compensation and
then setting the TE: to 0%. In still air, accelerate to approximately 160 km/h (75 Knots) and reduce the speed.
Observe the vario indicator. If the static source is good, then the vario should immediately start to move to show
a climb. If the needle initially shows increased sink and then moves to a climb, the static source of the glider is
unsuitable and there is no way to provide successful TE compensation electronically. The use of a dedicated
and accurate fin mounted pitot/static source such as a Prandtl tube might help.
2.3.2.9 Altitude warning
In case of an altitude limitation the pilot
is able to set the altitude value which is a top limit.
Three parameters are offered:
-Limit: means upper level which couldn’t be crossed
-Warn before: altitude margin where the warning will start
-Audio warn: yes will execute also an audio sound (didl, didl)
2.3.2.10 LCD Indicator
LCD indicator means vario indicator with it’s mechanical
needle and colour graphic display.
The system is capable to drive also secondary indicators.
Secondary indicators may be simple repeaters or may also indicate
different data sets, it all depends on the indicator number setting.
Vario unit is always addressed as Number 1, secondary indicators
can be addressed from 1 up to four.
Note!
Electronic and pneumatic TE compensation requires
different connection of tubes.

Note!
Units having Adr1
will simply repeat
what is displayed
on the vario.
Higher addresses
makes possible
different sets.
•A radial moving dot serves as a continuous speed to fly indicator, no setting is possible.
Some explanations of terms:
Vario needle : xxxxx, means needle function in vario mode, eg; vario, SC, Netto….
SC needle: xxxxxx, means needle function in SC mode
Vario up nr.: upper numerical display indication in vario mode
SC low nr.: lower numerical display in SC mode
Secondary indicators
Secondary indicators should be connected via 485 system bus.
There are three 9P connectors at the back of the unit
All contacts are absolutely parallel, so it doesn’t matter which one
is occupied. The unit can be also used as 485 system bus
splitter. To define Ind number use DIP switches which you find at
the back of the unit.
After indicator functions have been defined, switch the unit off and then on again, this procedure will memorize
the settings.
