MENU 7 

Turn  ON/OFF  the  falling  alarm  test  mode.  Initially,  the 
option  was  included  in  the  menu  for  setting  up  this 
mode.  But  in  the  future  it  was  decided  to  leave  it,  so 

that  the  pilot  could  independently  turn  on  the  alarm,  get  acquainted  with  its  screens  and 
memorize the sound and light signals. This was done, so that when the alarm turns on in flight, 
the pilot should not be distracted by reading the screen, but direct effort to bring the wing out 
of dangerous regime and normalize the flight. 

If this option is enabled, if the rate of decline becomes greater than -0.3 m/s, an alarm will 

be activated. All subsequent signals will be the same as signals given during a real flight alarm. 
The only difference is  that in  this case, the altitude  indication  is based on  the altitude above 

sea level 

. This is done so that the pilot, without changing his position could check the alarm 

at a height of more than 100 meters and less than 100 meters at the same time (by selecting 
the pressure at sea level (QNH) to set the altitude). 

When the device is turned on, this option is disabled. 

 

MENU 8 

Turning  ON/OFF  the  long  beep  function  when  passing 
through  a  threshold  altitude  (on  descent).  The  value  is 
selected  from  the  list  {OFF,  20,  30,  50,  100,  150,  200, 

250} by pressing the "Button 3" for a short time. The initial value after switching on the device 

is "OFF". The sound signal is given based on the relative height above the start level 

Use. The function will be useful for pilots who like acro. When the head most of the time looks 
at the wing, or on the partner (in the case of synchronous elements), there is not always time 
to look down, and the earth is rapidly approaching. This function is intended to warn the pilot 
with a long beep if he passes a certain, predetermined height threshold. 

 

MENU 9 

Turning  ON/OFF  the  long  beep  function  when  passing 
through  a  threshold  altitude  (on  climb).  The  value  is 
selected from the list {OFF, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 

400, 500} by pressing the "Button 3" for a short time. The initial value after switching on the 

device is "OFF". The sound signal is given based on the relative height above the start level
