The

 

following

 

figure

 

shows

 

how

 

the

 

AURORA

 

LCU

 

EV

works.

 

Light

 

Function

 

and

 

Activation

 

Point

 

can

 

be

 

programmed

 

for

 

each

 

light

 

output.

 

For

 

controlling

 

the

 

light

 

outputs

 

by

 

transceiver,

 

use

 

a

 

triple

 

switch

 

or

 

proportional

 

slider

 

on

 

your

 

transceiver.

 

It

 

is

 

alo

 

possible

 

to

 

mix

 

the

 

light

 

functions

 

to

 

e.g.

 

flaps

 

or

 

gear

 

is

 

possible

 

by

 

programming

 

the

 

Activation

 

Points

 

accordingly.

 

Here

 

are

 

two
