2Introduction
The printed version of this installation manual is in grayscale. Some figures and diagrams
are coloured. Please refer to electronic version to see colours. The latest electronic version
of this manual can be downloaded from http://www.lxnav.com section downloads-manuals.
This manual will guide you through the installation process of all systems, components,
basic setup and check of the system.
Before using any part of the system, please read and understand the installation
and user manuals!
There are no serviceable parts within the unit, hence the unit must be taken to
the factory for service.
Opening the unit by the user will void warranty and airworthiness.

3System Planning
In this chapter the installer will be informed how and where particular equipment items can
be installed. Some items have environmental and location requirements, others not.
3.1 Power Consumption
Some modules obtain power from the main unit. These modules do not need a circuit
breaker as the main unit takes care of this. Other items of equipment that have their own
power supply should have specified circuit breakers installed.

3.5.10 Flap Sensor
-Is connected to the flap rod –please consult with the glider manufacturer about the
installation.
3.5.11 Magnetic Compass
-The location should be magnetically benign
-As far as possible from metal parts, power cables
-In case of small magnetic interferences user calibration is possible
-Very important is the orientation of the magnetic compass (compass has marked
TOP position and flight direction position).

the current from the batteries.
3.5.18 Bridges
Bridges are designed to be installed into any convenient place within the glider.
3.6 Cooling Requirements
Currently there are no cooling requirements. If possible, ventilation should pass through the
instrument panel to exchange some warm air. That will drop the temperature behind the
panel a few degrees.
3.7 Mounting Requirements
Most LXNAV units are fastened with screws.

Overview of the System Version 1.41, June 2017
Page 13 of 69
4Overview of the System
4.1 Overview
The LXNAV system consists of many different displays, units and sensors which
communicate with each other via the LXNAV RS485 bus.
4.2 Communication BUS
Most devices in LXNAV system talk to each other via the RS485 bus. We use standard
SUBD-9 pin connectors. Bus signals can be split via RS485 splitters. Additional splitters can
be bridged together with RS485 bridge cables.
Another way of communication with peripheral devices is via the RS232 serial interface.
This interface is mostly used to connect 3rd party devices into the LXNAV system (external
Flarm, ADSB, radio, transponder, PDA). For each device we have a specially designed cable.
The RS232 connection should be done through the main wiring of the LX device on rounded
5pin “binder” connectors.
4.3 Harness and Cables
The main unit cable has two power supply wires (red for positive +12V DC and blue for
ground potential), a RS485 bus cable with a DB9 connector and a serial RS232 cable with a
rounded 5 pin connector. This rounded 5 pin connector is designed to be mounted into the
panel. It can be used for connection with a PDA device.

The vario harness has also one DB9 RS485 connector which can be directly plugged into the
RS485 connector from the main unit. In case we need to connect additional RS485 devices
(Remote stick, Flap sensor, Magnetic compass, Radio Bridge,), we need to have a RS485
splitter. If the splitter has not enough sockets we must expand the RS485 bus to another
RS485 splitter through a RS485 bridge cable. The RS485 splitter must be ordered with a
RS485 bridge cable. The Compass and Flap sensor have DB9 connectors that can be
plugged directly into the RS485 splitter.
Flarm displays use standard cables that fit to IGC/Flarm standard RJ12 connectors.
4.4 Splitters
LXNAV systems can use two types of splitters:
-RS485 splitter (second seat, flaps, compass module, Radio Bridge…)
-Flarm splitter (Flarm indicators)
The RS485 splitter is described in detail in the previous sections.
A Flarm splitter is used when we want to connect more than one Flarm display to the Flarm
port.
4.5 Ethernet Port
Almost all devices have an Ethernet port which is currently used only for development
purposes.

5Installation and Configuration
5.1 Main Unit and Repeater Unit
Before cutting out the panel the whole cutting plan of the panel, including all instruments,
must be prepared. The next figure shows the cut-outs for all types of units that can be
installed into the panel.
Prepare the cut-out in the instrument panel according to the drilling template. Position the
main display unit in the cut-out in the instrument panel. Secure the main display unit with
the attached 2.5 mm screws.
When installing the LX8000 & LX90xx it is not necessary to remove the rotary
knobs. It is only necessary to remove the rotary knobs for the LX8080.
For the LX8080 remove the press-in covers from the four main rotary switches on
the unit. While holding the knobs, slacken the screws with a screwdriver. Now
the knobs can be removed (never use force to remove the knobs, you could
damage the rotary switches). Remove the four M6 screws. Position the LX8080 in
the cut-out in the instrument panel. Secure the LX8080 with the screws. Tighten
the knobs and fix the covers.
5.1.1 Installation of Options
All options except AHRS and WI-FI (LX8000D, LX8080D, Remote Control, Radio Bridge,
Compass Module & secondary vario indicators) are prepared to be connected to the RS485
system bus by use of RS485 splitting units. Installation of any option is plug-and-play and
therefore requires only mechanical installation work. The LX main unit also powers all
devices connected to the bus. An automatic fuse built into the LX main unit prevents
damage to the digital unit should a short circuit in the wiring or in some attached device
occur.
