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.

Page 8 of 12 Rev #3 Version 1.11 May 2021 6 Remote without SC cable We have been working very hard to simplify the remote stick so that we can have the same functionality but use fewer cables. 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 LX80/90xx (version 5.x) To make the SC function work with the new stick, please check the SC setting in the configuration/setup page. For the LX80/90xx go to Setup->Hardware->Variometer Please make sure that none of input is set to "SC on/off switch" or "SC toggle button".
