Re: Dimming issue and blacked out screens

I replied to this via the support email, I'll post my reponse here as well. The HXr is pretty easy to get to dim. If the Left encoder is not on DIM, press the second button from the left and then turn the Dimmer knob. Memorizing the method on both the HXr and the Mini is an option if care is taken t...

Re: Couple of qustions about installing in my Sonex

Hello Mike, The Map page does not have the airspeed and altimeter tapes. The size of the screen in terms of physical size and pixels is able to handle the map but there just isn't any room to put more stuff in there. The Sport has larger screen, particularly with the 8.4" display and well over ...

Re: GRT sport to Vertical power

Hello amnpilot, Don't connect the serial ground pin 21 on the VP-X Sport.

Re: Couple of qustions about installing in my Sonex

Hello Mike, 1) The mini can be mounted in any orientation without limits. The AHRS has a "Set Instrument Orientation" menu that allows you to offset the Roll, Pitch, and Yaw so the Mini will show the proper attitude. 2) Sandia 165R transponder control is supported. It will require the use ...

You can add your own connector to the Mini remote magnetometer. A good quality connection with gold plated contacts is recommended for its corrosion resistance. The magnetometer is documented in the Mini-X and Mini-AP wiring and connector definitions on the Mini Documentations webpage. The 9 pin D-S...

Re: Sport SX display flickers, dims and sometimes shuts off.

Hello Stump, Make doubly sure that the SX is getting good clean DC voltage and that the power wiring has good continuity. I emphasis this because a thorough check isolates the problem either to or away from the SX, whereas an incomplete check does not. It can easily be a wiring issue or bad power. I...
