2.1 Device overview
The LX 10k is a glider vario-navigation system, that comprises of two devices. The main unit
- the LX 10k, which is always in the 80mm (3 1/8 inch) size and the vario indicator. The vario
indicator comes in three different options:
•57mm (2 1/4 inch) analog vario indicator - comes with the 10k as standard, features a
small (1.77 inch) display and an analog needle.
•57mm (2 1/4 inch) digital vario indicator - option over the analog indicator, has a larger
2.5 inch display and a digital needle
•80mm (3 1/8 inch) digital vario indicator - option over the analog indicator, has a large
3.5 inch transflective technology display, same as the main unit.
NOTE
Find out more about transflective technology displays and why this technology is
so important in air navigation in our Whitepaper on transflective technology
The LX 10k is a navigation device with moving map, electronic variometer, IGC certified logger
with ENL, a built-in battery, Voice module with voice warnings, Bluetooth and Wifi and the
possibility of a cable connection to external devices.
Find the IGC approval here.
The device is designed for simple pilot operation with two push-buttons and two push/rotary
knobs on the main unit and one push-rotary knob on the indicator unit.
The unit is capable of providing APT (airport), TP (turnpoint), TSK (task) and NRST (nearest
landable) navigation on four dedicated navigation pages. Navigation pages feature navboxes,
showing bearing to point, track, distance and final glide as well a large selection of other flight
and navigation parameters. It also shows airspace, airports and turnpoints on the map.
LX 10k has built-in high precision digital sensors based on latest MEMS technology for altitude,
vario, speed, 3-axis gyro and 3-axis accelerometer sensors. A minimum sampling rate of 100
Hz is applied to all sensors.
A double-seater installation is possible by installing an LX 10k Repeater and connecting it to
the system via CAN bus.
