Lx5000 Gps And Flight Data System on 2040-parts.com
Chattanooga, Tennessee, US
The LX5000 is a state of the art variometer system, combining the most
modern GPS-technology and a variometer-system proven over the years.
Voltage 9-36 VDC
Power consumption (audio volume zero) approx. 300 mA at 12 volts
Operating temperature -20 to +60 degrees C ( degrees F)
Storing temperature -30 to +80 degrees C ( degrees F)
Dimensions
LX5000 Æ 80mm length 160mm (excluding connector)
approx.220mm (including connector)
Analogue instrument Æ 57mm length 100mm (including connector)
Total weight approx. 1500 grams
GPS receiver 8-channel, parallel
Pressure probes 1 Silizium pressure probe for the altimeter(variometer) and airspeed respectively.
The variometer system consists of
- the total energy compensated variometer,
- the net-relative variometer,
- the interval integrator,
- the speed command,
- the audio generator.
The interval integrator calculates the average rate of climb over a certain time constant which may be selected in the LX5000.
For the most common gliders a list of approximated polars is stored in the LX5000. The speed command signal is generated using the polar you have selected from this list. Additional coefficients for glider polars not contained in the list, may be calculated and stored in the LX5000. You may do this by using the computer program „POLAR EXE" which is contained in the scope of supply.
The signal is available on the analog instrument and on the liquid christal display, as well as through a tone created by the audio generator. The mode and the frequency of the audio tone may be selected in the SETUP program.
The parameters listed below influence the speed command signal:
- The McCready setting,
- the wingload setting,
- the glider polar,
- the wind,
- a correction to the polar, i.e. to compensate for bugs.

Saab sale to NEVS delayed
Mon, 27 Aug 2012The sale of what’s left of Saab to National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) has been delayed over funding and rights to the Saab name. We all thought, finally, that the end of the Saab saga had come when National Electric Vehicle Sweden was successful in gaining approval from the Saab administrators to acquire what was left of Saab after GM and Spyker failed to agree the sale of Saab as a going concern. The sad fact is that NEVS aren’t planning to carry on the proud tradition of Saab, with its innovative and quirky cars so loved by design professionals, but plan to put the Saab badge on a range of new electric cars.
