May 2021 Be careful, that connect correct colour wire to pin, which is marked with same colour. PTT wires are connected to radio, SC is connected to Speed to fly input of vario unit. Remote stick will not operate, until is registered on device. Remote stick can be registered under setup-hardware-Remote stick. Registration must be done on each unit (S80 and S80D) Can bus is under power supply at all times, consequently remote stick is also under power. After flight, please disconnect batteries or switch off master, to prevent discharging batteries. Page 6 of 12 Rev #5 Version 1.11 4.1 Remote with trim switch Remote can be ordered with 3 position momentary switch for trimming purpose. Such remote has four additional wires with label "IN:WHITE, OUT:RED" where two white wires should be wired to positive and negative potential in glider, and the second pair of red wires go to trim driver. Polarity is not important, if trimmer has wrong moving direction simply switch one pair of wires between them and the direction will be reversed. 4.2 Remote with starter button This option is for gliders with electric starter on internal engines. Remote has red momentary button for starting engines on the ground or in the air. Button is in normally open configuration and makes contact when it is pressed. Coaxial cable is separated from other wires and labelled as "Starter" and should be wired to engine control unit as stated in their manual.

The LXNAV new remote stick comes without the standard SC cable but the functionality is still available. With the new stick, there is no more need to solder these wires to the vario wiring loom. The SC function is programmable through S8/80/S10/S100. To make the SC function work with the new stick, please check the SC setting in the configuration/setup page. Go to Setup->Hardware->Digital inputs Please make sure that NONE of input is set to "SC on/off switch" or "SC toggle button".
