Installation
The LX 7000 Digital unit needs one standard 80-mm cutout. The Analog /Vario needs one standard 57 mm cutout.
Both units are extremely short (110 mm) and therefore not problematically to be installed in any glider.
Three pressure connectors are on the rear side of the Analog/Vario unit. A label on the rear side shows their
functions.
•
Ptot = Pitot, Total pressure
•
TE = TE probe
•
Pst = Static
Using electronic compensation:
•
TE/Pst Static
•
Pst Static
•
Ptot Pitot
