User Manual XC Tracer Maxx Rev 01 23.2.2020 User Manual XC Tracer Maxx User Manual XC Tracer Maxx Rev 01 23.2.2020 Quick Start Guide Attach the vario to your cockpit or onto your thigh. Press and hold the red button until you hear beep-beep, then release the button. The logo appears while the vario is searching for GPS satellites and as soon as the logo disappears the vario is ready and you can take off. You can switch screens with a short push on the button, and you can change the volume level by double pressing the button. After landing, switch the vario off by pressing the button until you hear beep-beep, then release the button. If you want to change the settings: press the button twice in quick succession and hold it down for a second time. In the settings move the point with a short press of the button, with a long press select the entry. The Vario is preset to beep only when flying. But you can set this as you wish. If you want to download the tracks or change the configuration file then connect XC Tracer Maxx to your computer with one of the included USB cables. Now switch on the vario and the SD card of XC Tracer Maxx will appear on the computer as a USB hard drive. Now you can download tracks, change settings in the config file, or copy new firmware updates to the SD card. The new firmware does get installed as soon as you switch off the vario. Please note that this can take a while when updating firmware for Flarm or uploading a Flarm obstacle database. User Manual XC Tracer Maxx Rev 01 23.2.2020 Introduction XC Tracer Maxx is a high-precision GPS variometer with a perfectly readable LCD and integrated collision warning device FLARM. XC Tracer Maxx transmits twice per second the position and also the estimated flight path for the next 20 seconds. Other FLARM devices in the vicinity can then draw conclusions about a possible risk of collision risk. In case of a possible collision the corresponding FLARM device warns the pilot in the aircraft or helicopter. XC Tracer Maxx itself does not warn of possible collisions with other aircraft. Many pilots use XC Tracer flight instruments for long XC flights and for competitions. But also for pilots with little flying experience an XC Tracer Variometer is the perfect choice. The lag-free indication of lift / sink rate makes it much easier to find and core thermals than when using a conventional variometer. All essential flight information is displayed on the LCD. In addition, data such as airspeed, altitude, climb, course etc. can be transmitted to a mobile phone, a tablet or an e-reader via Bluetooth Low Energy 4.2. XC Tracer Maxx is also an IGC logger, the IGC files are approved by the FAI for paragliding competitions. XC Tracer Maxx has a built-in lithium-polymer battery, fully charged the battery is good for more than 60 hours of continuous operation. The battery is charged via the supplied Micro USB cable. The device also has a Bluetooth module. Via Bluetooth Low Energy 4.2 data such as airspeed, altitude, climb, course etc. can be transferred to a mobile phone, tablet or e-reader. Please check www.xctracer.com to see which apps need to be configured with which BLE strings. Mounting XC Tracer Maxx uses data from a 9-DOF IMU (9 Degrees Of Freedom Inertial Measurement Unit), and from a pressure sensor, to compute the real-time climb rate and altitude, avoiding the undesired time lag that conventional variometers suffer (due to data filtering). For this reason mount your XC Tracer Maxx in such a way that it moves as little as possible whilst you’re flying. It is important that the XC Tracer Maxx moves as little as possible in relation to the harness during flight. And leave some free space of 4-5cm all around your vario; otherwise the radio performance may be compromised. It is therefore important that the XC Tracer Maxx is firmly attached to the cockpit or thigh with the velcro provided. Mounting on the riser is not ideal. Switch On/Switch Off Turn XC Tracer Maxx on by pressing and holding the red button until you hear beep-beep. Next the battery charge status is indicated by a series of beeps (this feature is described further below). Up to 2 minutes the system will search for a GPS fix, while only the XC Tracer logo is displayed on the screen. After a maximum of 2 minutes, the default screen is displayed, even if no GPS fix was found. User Manual XC Tracer Maxx Rev 01 23.2.2020 Switching off is done in exactly the same way. Press the red button until you hear a "beep- beep", then release the button and the XC Tracer Maxx switches off. User Manual XC Tracer Maxx Rev 01 23.2.2020 Battery Indicator After switching the device on the battery charge status is indicated with a sequence of short beeps: 5x Beep means that the battery is charged 95% or more. 4x Beep means that the battery is charged 75% or more. 3x Beep means that the battery is charged 55% or more. 2x Beep means that the battery is charged 35% or more. 1x Beep means that the battery is charged 15% or more. When the battery is less than 15% charged you will hear a constant beep for one second after switching the device on. After indicating the battery charge the GPS now searches for a fix. A beep-beep-beeeeeep indicates that the device is now ready for flight. The battery charge level is also displayed on the LCD. Adjusting The Volume XC Tracer Maxx has 4 volume settings: Mute, gentle, medium and loud. You can change the volume level by double pressing the red button (like a double click on the mouse of your computer), always from mute – gentle - medium – loud – mute – gentle etc. Energy Management A fully charged battery from the XC Tracer Maxx is sufficient to run the vario for 60 hours, including logging of IGC and KML files, sending and receiving of Flarm Beacons, data transfer over BLE etc. The battery can be charged via the USB port. To do this, use the USB- C charging cable provided and charge the XC Tracer Maxx overnight. Fully charging an empty battery takes about 5 …
