User Manual XC Tracer Mini V
Rev 01 2.9.2022
Radio Firmware Update
The Radio firmware must be updated once a year. In the config file you can see which firmware
version is installed and until when this firmware is valid.
After this expiration date Flarm will not work anymore! An update must be done before this date!
if a new Radio firmware (*.efw file) is available.
These firmware updates are free of charge, the installation is easy done with drag & drop. For
instructions on how to do a firmware update see below.
Collision Warning
XC Tracer Mini V transmits your position once per second and also your estimated trajectory for
the next 20 seconds. Any other FLARM devices in the vicinity can use this information to assess
any possible risk of collision. If another FLARM device determines that a collision is possible, it will
warn the pilot of the other aircraft. XC Tracer Mini V itself does not warn of possible collisions with
other aircraft.
XC Tracer Mini V itself does not warn of possible collisions with other aircraft!
XC Tracer Mini V can receive signals from FANET devices on paragliders and hang-gliders and
transmit the data to a mobile phone, tablet or e-reader. Depending on the app you use, you will know
in real-time where your buddies are! During flight tests, signals were received from FANET devices
up to 120 km away.
The open sourc obstacle database is not yet implemented. This feature will get integrated in one of
the next firmware releases.
