LX 7007 C

LX 7007 pro IGC successor

This new development of the well proven LX 7007 series has been designed using the very latest high-level micro-controller technology and this has made it possible to avoid having to use an operating system. All this ensures stable operation proven by the LX 7007 units in past. By using the latest state of the art in display technology, sunshine readable displays with extremely low power drain have been incorporated. The display used in LX 7007 C requires less than 20 mA and this is more than 10 times less than using a classic TFT display.

LX Mini Map pro / LX Micro Map pro

Both units are running Windows CE 5.0

and are therefore capable to support different programs.

Usable solutions are LK 8000, XC soar, SeeYou Mobile and Strepla.
LX Navigation has upgraded original version of LK 8000
All original LK 8000 functions remained unchanged.
Commands can be by 6 push knobs, 4 rotary switches or touch screen
Every push button recognizes short and long press.
Rotary switches have also push function.
LX Navigation vario unit (USB D) is part of the system.

From where is the program is running?

To make using of Mini Map pro as simple as possible, one SD card reader was placed on the front of the unit.

Program files are copied to the SD card and the system will run from SD card. No program installation is required.
LX Mini Map internal flash (2Gb) can also be used as a program memory. In that case program les should be copied to flash.
For LK 8000 users a desktop icon is ready and this makes possible to run the program after click on the icon.

LX Service program

LX service program is available after click on service

icon on desktop. The main functions are as follows:

-display calibration
-display orientation setting
-setting of variometer parameters

Connectable options

LXMini Map pro and Micro Map supports a bright pallet of options which are plug and play connectable.
Using the connectors on the back of the unit, the following options are possible:
-remote control; controls also vario
-second seat solution
-remote control for second seat unit
-secondary vario indicators
-auxiliary power supply

GPS connection

LX MM pro family offers two inputs for GPS signal. COM 1 and COM 2 are available.
Suggested GPS sources:

-Colibri II*, Colibri, LX 20, LX Red Box, LX Mini Box, original Flarm units

Up to 2 Flarm indicators are offered

* there is a special plug which connects Colibri II ( power and data).

Differences LX Mini Map pro / LX Micro Map pro
The most important difference between two units is size of the units. Mini Map uses a 4.3 inch display and Micro Map 3.5 inch size.
LX Mini Map pro 136×83 mm, LX Micro Map pro 106×68 mm
The display and processor technology is the same.

Data base

LX Navigation data base is available for both units. LX airspace files are in Open Air format and airport data bases are in .cup files.
All mentioned is free available on www.lxnavigation.si

LX Mini Map II

Highlights

LX Mini Map II replaces the whole family

of LX Mini Map devices. The unit highlights

are; new plastic (ABS) ergonomic housing with

two rotary switches and three push buttons.

Portrait and also landscape orientation is possible.

Technical characteristics

The focus of the system is a Windows CE 5 embedded computer module accompanied by a micro-controller who’s main task is management of push buttons and rotary switches.

A brilliant 4.3 inch display with touch screen guaranties good readability, also under the harshest sunshine conditions.

The unit receives 12V power via USB mini type connector.

Data link is serial RS 232 standard, not USB.

Touch screen is a standard solution.

The program could run from SD card or from internal Flash.

Different programs can be used, some of them are:

-LK 8000*, XCsoar as free ware programs

-SeeYou Mobile and Strepla are programs which need license

* LX Navigation has upgraded the original LK 8000 program so that rotary switches and push buttons could be used..

The program you can download from www.lxnavigation.si

Power requirements:

-12 up to 24 V DC

-consumption 380 mA at 12V

GPS connection

LX Mini Map II needs GPS signal input in form

of NMEA at RS 232 standard levels

Suggested GPS sources:

-Colibri II, Colibri, LX 20, -Flarm: LX Flarm Red Box, LX Flarm Mini Box, original Flarm units

All mentioned devices can be connected plug and play without significant installation work.

Options

-LX junction box helps by GPS connection

-goose-neck support for out of panel installation

Suggested sets

-LX 166 – LX MM II (all connections plug and play)

-LX 1606 – LX MM II (all connections plug and play)

-LX MM II can be driven also from LX 5000/7000/7007

LX7007 Compact C

The unit meets nearly all functions of LX 7007 C.

The most important difference is that the LX 7007 Compact C doesn’t include a GPS receiver and also does not offer an IGC approved flight recorder. There is a recorder built in, but it doesn’t have IGC approval. The format of flight records meets IGC specification and the flights can be therefore evaluated with programs which understand IGC format. As a GPS source an external NMEA signal should be applied. One 6P telephone type connector for GPS signal input is prepared on the back

side of the unit. Suitable pin out makes possible to connect GPS devices which have an IGC standard connector as plug and play solutions. Flarm can be also used as a GPS source. LX Red Box and LX Mini Box offers an effective solution.

The vario electronics are built into main 80 mm device

and therefore only a colour vario indicator is used as an external device. Both these solutions makes

the system extremely space saving. A standard PDA interface with 5V and data is provided. PDA data includes also LX Wp sentences which delivers pressure altitude and IAS for a PDA.

Following options can be connected to LX 7007 Compact C:

-second seat repeater

-additionally vario indicators

-LX voice module

-LX remote stick for both seats

-LX compass module

LX 7007 Compact CB

The electronic and functions of LX 7007 Compact CB is the same as by LX 7007 Compact C.

The only difference is implementation of bigger screen which is by LX 7007 Compact CB 3,5 inch size. The unit layout requires a non air norm panel cut out. Every instrument comes with a steel template which helps by installation works.

LX 7007 Compact CB uses standard LX Navigation Vario unit, as the vario electronics isn’t integrated into the computer enclosure, as in LX 7007 Compact C.
