3Installation
The V5 vario unit and any additional vario indicators each require a standard 57 mm cut-out.
Three pressure connectors are fitted to the back of the V5 vario unit. A label shows their
functions.
•P
static
means static pressure connector.
•P
total
means pitot or total pressure connector.
•TE means total energy TE connector.
If the unit is to be configured for electronic TE compensation the connections are as follows:
•P
static
tatic
•P
total
Pitot or Total pressure
•TE/P
static
tatic
If the unit is to be configured for pneumatic TE compensation using a TE tube, then the
connections are:
•TE/P
static
TE tube
•P
static
tatic
•P
total
Pitot or Total pressure
If the P
total
and tatic are connected the wrong way around there will be no
integrator reading (average climb) during the flight.
The LX9000/8000/8080 digital unit is connected to 12 Volt power via the 15-pin UB-D
connector. The LX9000/8000/8080 digital unit and the V5 unit (57 mm units) are connected
via the R 485 bus (9 pin DB connectors).
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 LX9000/8000/8080 digital unit.

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 wires. To prevent damage to the LX9000/8000/8080 digital unit after a
short circuit on the R 485 bus there is an automatic fuse.
If a short circuit occurs then the 57 mm unit will appear not to work anymore. The reason is
not the defect of 57 mm unit – it is due to the hot automatic fuse. Turn off the
LX9000/8000/8080 system and wait for the automatic fuse to cool down.
3.1 Installing the LXN V V5
The LXNAV V5 vario should be mounted in a standard 57 mm hole.
Remove four screws. Install V5 into the panel, screw back all screws and.
Be sure that LXNAV V5 is placed far enough from compass. Inside is stepper
motor which generates magnetic field interferences.
3.2 Connecting LXN V V5
LXNAV V57 is connected to main unit through R 485 bus. C cable is used for external
switch, for switching between climb and cruise mode. In case that C is connected to flaps
switch, VP (vario priority) is connected to switch on stick. Inputs IN1..4 are used to connect
to gear switch, air brake , etc...
3.3 Cutout of V5
Length of screw is limited to max 6mm!
