2 Rotary Buttons.

3 Push Buttons. SD Card.

Used for a simplified handling during the 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 display. It fits into a 80mm (3,15’’) size hole which is the standard large hole on the instrument panel.

60Hz.

All S series variometer have a very high 60 Hz frame rate!

Bluetooth, PDA and GPS Port.

An external Bluetooth module for a wireless connectivity with your Smartphone or Oudie. A PDA port for wire connectivity and a GPS port for an external GPS module.

S-Series Philosophy

Waypoint Mode. Task Mode. Airspace.

A complete moving map with Airspace indication, Waypoint and Task navigation with custom navbox settings.

CUP files supported!
CUB files supported!

AHRS. Inertial platform.

3 pneumatic sensor which serves for Electronic or TE compensation and a built-in inertial platform with +-8g accelerometer and 3 gyroscopes for accurate and fast vario measurements. An AHRS module is built in and is used for a wind calculation. The AHRS graphical page is enabled after purchasing an AHRS option.

FLARM Mode.

This displays all types of FLARM objects, ADS-B objects and PCAS if external devices are connected.

FLARM Visual Radar With Audible Warnings.

The radar shows all necessary data. The target’s present position, altitude and vario reading is displayed on the map. For each new alert a pop-up appears automatically when a potential collision may occur. The system will also trigger a sound and speech warning.

Custom Navbox Settings. Pilot Profiles.

Do you prefer clean display with only one navbox or you wish to have more flight parameters? It’s very simple, as you can set 1-4 rows of navboxes. Every pilot can create their own profile with its own navboxes, which can be selected from a list of 40 types.

Thermal Mode.

The Thermal Assistant mode displays a graphical representation of your location within the thermal.

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.

Wind.

An inertial variometer provides a very accurate wind indication during straight flight

We use 4 different methods to determine the best wind indication.

Flap indicator.

The variometer in combination with a flap sensor shows current and required flap setting.
