Try another zoom to assess the change and make further adjustments if necessary Digital TE compensation is only effective when the Pitot tube and static sources are co located and the pneumatic lines to the instrument are approximately the same length The best sensor to use is the combined Pitot static Prandtl tube If problems are experienced with the digital TE compensation the most likely cause is the glider s static source The static source can be checked by plumbing the pneumatic tubes for digital TE compensation and then setting the TE to 0 In still air accelerate to approximately 160 km h and slowly reduce the speed Observe the vario indicator If the static source is good the vario should immediately start to move to show a climb If the needle firstly shows increased sink and then moves to a climb the static source of the glider is unsuitable and there is no way to provide successful digital TE compensation The use of a dedicated and accurate fin mounted Pitot static source such as a Prandtl tube might help 5 1 12 1 2 Temperature Offset The system is supplied with an external outside air temperature OAT sensor With the offset setting it will correct static errors of temperature measurement Page 67 of 166 LX90xx LX80xx Version 5 0 June 2015 There is another input called VARIO PRIORITY When this input is activated by grounding the appropriate wire the unit will change over to Vario immediately This input wire is
