VARIO SIMULATOR
The Vario Simultator is a very useful function, that allows to simulate all the vario
instrument functions (acoustic vario, analog and integrator vario) while you are on the
ground.
To activate this function, go to (M-SET \ n. 8 SIMV), press the
key (function “EDIT”)
and select ON.
Go back to BASIC/ADVANCED/NAVIGATION display and press up and down the arrow
keys
,
to change the vario value.
Important: for your safety, this function is always reset to “OFF” when you turn the vario
on.

AIR SPEED (WITH OPTIONAL AIR SPEED PROBE)
To display your air speed, you must have an air speed probe
connected. The optional air speed probe should be plugged in to
the right hand socket on the bottom of the vario.
The air speed reading can be shown in metric (km/h) or imperial (mph) units. To change
the units of display, go to (M-SET \ n. 27 U-SP) menu & then change to “MHP” or “KMH”.
The airspeed can be shown on the BASIC/ADVANCED/NAVIGATION DISPLAY screen on
the right side of the efficiency-airspeed dual instrument display.
To display the efficiency-airspeed dual instrument press the
key.
5.3.1
STALL ALARM
To activate the stall alarm function, you must have an air speed probe connected. The
optional air speed probe should be plugged in to the right hand socket on the bottom of
the vario. It is possible to adjust the value that the acoustic stall alarm is activated. Go to
(M-SET \ n. 9 STAL). Enter the value in km/h.
5.3.2
AIR SPEED RECALIBRATION
If the air speed probe is showing inaccurate readings, it is possible to recalibrate the air
speed probe, go to (M_SET \ n. 11 KIAS). An adjustment (in %) of the air speed reading
can be made, (100% = no adjustment, 110% = increase, 90% = decrease).
Attention: incorrect re-calibration will make the air speed readings on the Digifly
Archimede Plus inaccurate.
