Optional: Temperature alarm thereshold with Setup 11. “0” stands for deactivated.
The UniLog module is powered by the motor battery if operated together with the current sensor.
The pitot tube sensor may replace the GPS module at the UniLog for the measurement of airspeed instead
of groundspeed.
The altitude measurement generated in the UniLog may be used for the altitude reading (refer to Setup 9,
#2). This will avoid the altitude error which is inherent when operating the vario with the TEK probe.
All these settings may be set with the R/C transmitter.
15 Notes about CS DataVario Operation together with the UniLog Data Logger
15.1 UniLog Data Logger Settings
•
Storage rate at 0.5 sec; higher values would delay vario announcements
•
Automatic start-up after 15 sec.
•
Current sensor to be selected accordingly
•
A1 mode: Eventually select the speed sensor used. Without speed sensor select ”millivolt”
•
Temperature sensor only to be connected to port A2 of the UniLog
According to the selected A1 mode, the vario recognizes if the speed announcement is on or off.
15.2 Important Notes about UniLog Data Logger Operation
•
There must be no 4-lead cable used for the connection between the vario and the UniLog, only the
3-lead cable provided with the delivery.
•
There is no special assignment for the plugs. The cable may be used in either direction.
•
When starting the vario, the UniLog should still be without power. Otherwise there might occur
difficulties with the vario reset.
•
The current sensor should be connected to the motor battery only a few seconds after vario start-up.
•
Important: For safety reasons, always connect the negative leads of the UniLog and the drive battery
first.
•
A lengthened 5
th
beep tone during the vario start-up sequence signals the correct connection to the
UniLog.
•
If the altitude announcement is selected in Setup 10, #2, the double tone is followed by a short beep.
•
If the UniLog is still without power after the vario start-up sequence, this is signalled by a continoius
beep. This beep stops as soon as power is applied to the UniLog.
•
The UniLog receives its power supply from the motor battery if it is operating with a current sensor.
Alternatively there is the option of supplying the power from a direct connection to the R/C receiver.
•
CS DataVario Setup 14, current sensor type, is not active with the UniLog. The correct setting of the
current sensor type has to be done directly in the UniLog.
16 Parameter Setting
The default parameter settings on delivery are well proven and do not necessarily require instant resetting.
An accidental entry into the setup procedure can be finished immediately by switching off the vario.
First, the vario control switch/slider transmitter settings have to be adjusted according to chapter 6.1 for any
intentional access to the following setup procedure.
