LXNAV LX8040D Second Seat Repeater
LXNAV LX8040 Second Seat Repeater
With I8 Indicator
General Description
LXNAV LX8040D Second Seat Device is installed in the rear seat of the glider is powered and receives all necessary data from the main unit. The communication between both units is exclusively via the RS485 bus system.
The rear seat device looks almost identical to the main display unit. However, inside the device, there is no GPS or FLARM module. The rear seat device must be connected to the main display unit only via the RS485 bus system. The basic idea of a two-seat configuration is that both devices work independently from each other with the possibility to exchange various data on user request or automatically.
If you are installing a remote stick into a double seat, please note the rear seat stick is marked as "DS". A "DS" remote stick is programmed to control the repeater unit, which is installed on 2nd seat. Rear Seat Remote Sticks are a special order item.
LXNAV LX8040 Second Seat Repeater and Rear Seat Remote Stick are special order items. Please allow approximately 3 weeks LXNAV production time.
