XC-Trainer - Technical Specifications

  • Altitude: -1000m to +8200m, resolution 0,1m sensitiveness in cm area. At launch the GPS module provides an automatic altitude setting (AMSL)
  • Vario: Digital indication from –25.5m/s to +25.5m/s
    Analog indication from 0 to 5m/s and from 5 to 9,5 m/s. Acoustic signal for climbing initiates at +0.1m/s. This may be switched off. Acoustic signal for sink can be set to initiate between –0.1m/s and –5m/s. Settings in MENU/SETTINGS/VARIO From –5m/s a sink alarm will be heard regardless of settings
  • Speed: (Only with speed sensor connected) 0 – 160km/h Total-Energy-Compensation (TEC) 0 – 90%
  • Temperature: The sensor is placed on the right hand side of the instrument. It measures in centigrade from –25 to +75 degrees, resolution 0.1 degrees
  • GPS receiver: 16 channel parallel, 2D/3D position (WGS84), Altitude, speed, direction. Internal aerial.
  • Data transfer protocols: serial, cable, infrared
  • Clock: Flight recording in UTC. Display shows local time and elapsed time since launch
  • Memory: Flight data: 1MB flash, 184 in the circular buffer. Waypoints: 4KB flash for 224 waypoints
  • Power supply: Rechargeable Li-Ion 3.7V/1800mAh. Operating time per charging app. 25 hours. The instrument is equipped with an “intellicharge” system. To protect the Li-Ion battery the XC-Trainer will shut itself down when before the battery is completely flat, saving all flight data beforehand. Power consumption 75 mA
  • Dimensions: 137x66x28mm, weight including battery 150g
