S-Series Variometers Sold
External PowerFlarm Option
2 Rotary Buttons.
3 Push Buttons. SD Card.
Used for simplified handling during flight or ground operations. SD card for exchanging data (SW update, Airspace files, Waypoint files, Flight downloads).
Modern, Fully-Digital Vario. Standard size.
The vario indication needle is entirely digital on a 3.5 inch extremely bright anti-glare display. It fits into a standard, 80mm (3,15’’) size hole in the instrument panel.
60Hz.
All S-series variometers have a very high 60 Hz frame rate!
Built-in Bluetooth, GPS, IGC Flight Recorder.
The S10x series comes with built-in GPS and Bluetooth modules. Integrated Bluetooth is for wireless connectivity with your Smartphone or Oudie. The high-level, Integrated, IGC approved flight recorder can also detect JET and electro engines if a MOP module is present.
PDA port. Flarm port.
PDAs or Smartphones can be connected to the system via internal Bluetooth or directly plugged to the PDA port. Flarm/PowerFlarm can be connected to a Flarm port.
S-Series Philosophy
Waypoint Mode. Task Mode. Airspace.
A complete moving map with Airspace indication, Waypoint and Task navigation and customized navbox settings.
AHRS. Inertial Platform.
3 pneumatic sensors which provide Electronic or TE compensation and a built-in inertial platform with +-8g accelerometer and 3 gyroscopes for fast vario measurements and accurate wind calculations. The optional AHRS software option enables a graphical artificial horizon page.
FLARM Mode.
This mode can display all types of FLARM, ADS-B and PCAS objects if external devices are connected.
FLARM Visual Radar With Audible Warnings.
The Radar shows all necessary data. The target’s present position, altitude and vertical speed are displayed on the map. For each new alert a pop-up appears automatically when a potential collision occurs. The system will also trigger a sound and/or voice warning.
HAWK wind calculation
Real time wind
The HAWK platform applies an “extended Kalman filter” (EKF) algorithm which jointly estimates all three dimensions of the air mass movement – INSTANTANEOUSLY
No compensation, no problem
No compensation needed, since it uses no law of energy conservation. More accurate netto vario readings independent of glider speed.

Custom Navbox Settings. Pilot Profiles.
Do you prefer a clean display with only one navbox or do you wish to see more flight parameters? It’s very easy to set up 1, 2, 3 or 4 rows of navboxes. Each pilot can create a custom profile with its own navboxes, which can be selected from a list of 40 parameters.
Thermal Mode.
The Thermal Assistant mode displays your location within the thermal and the thermal strengths graphically.
G-Load. Acrobatic – follow the needle.
Built-in inertial platform with +-8g accelerometer. Device is showing current g-load in navbox/needle and it’s min-max values in bar. Last flight min/max load navboxes are persistent till next flight. Very useful information for acrobatic flights!
NON-LINEAR Scale!
NON-Linear scale will help you with precise showing on weak thermals and with strong thermal you will get wider needle range showing value beyond standard range.

Warnings.
You will get warning when you will approaching/entering aerospace. You can dismiss it for a certain time period.
Variometers timeline
Wind.
An inertial platform provides a very accurate wind indication during straight flight.
4 different methods are used to precisely calculate wind speed and direction.
Flap Indicator.
The variometer in combination with a flap sensor shows current and required flap setting.
