b) Telemetry values are no longer valid
! Note: please refer in particular to the supplementary ex-
planation in Chapter (
14.) on the subject of LQI, Uplink and
Downlink.
If the transmitter no longer picks up current telemetry data from
the model (i.e. if there is a problem with the "downlink" channel
from model to transmitter), the information on the Telemetry-
Display is crossed out with a thin horizontal line:
This will typically occur if a sensor is disconnected, or if the
model is switched OFF.
If this should happen, the last received telemetry values are
simply "frozen". It is still possible to leaf through the individual
screen pages using the DOWN (
action does not erase the displayed telemetry values.
If valid telemetry values are picked up again, they are displayed
once more in the usual form, i.e. without the thin horizontal lines.
c) Reaching stored warning thresholds
If a telemetry value reaches a stored warning threshold for one
of the individual sensors, a broad black bar appears at the cor-
responding address (screen line), and the content of the line is
shown highlighted (black background). The display remains
inverse until the value falls below the warning threshold again:

If you have selected "Alarm = ON / EIN" in the Settings menu,
the screen switches to the screen page which displays the
critical telemetry value, regardless of the screen page you have
selected when the warning threshold is reached. The Telemetry-
Display also generates an audible alarm when a threshold is
reached.
Example: you have selected screen page 1, showing addresses
0, 1, 2 and 3, when the warning threshold for address 12 is
reached: the display now switches from screen page 1 to screen
page 4 (showing addresses 12, 13, 14 and 15).
! Tip: pressing the DOWN (
have noted the critical value takes you back to the screen page
you last selected (in our example back to screen page 1).
If you have selected "Alarm = OFF / AUS" in the Settings menu,
the display remains at the selected four telemetry values even
though a warning threshold has been reached. In this case the
Telemetry-Display does not emit an audible alarm.
! Tip: the "Alarm = OFF / AUS" setting at the Telemetry-
Display is particularly useful in conjunction with the integral
screen of a COCKPIT SX M-LINK or ROYALevo/pro transmitter:
The transmitter screen always switches to the critical value
when a threshold value is reached, and an audible alarm always
sounds at the transmitter at the same time. However, if the
Telemetry-Display is set to "Alarm = OFF / AUS", the device
does not switch to the critical value; instead it continues to dis-
play the four selected telemetry values.

Audible output of telemetry values
12.2.1. Audible output, warning function
If the warning threshold stored for a particular sensor is reached,
the Telemetry-Display emits a brief sequence of sounds as a
warning.
This only occurs if the "Alarm = ON / EIN" option is selected in
the "Settings" menu.
If you have selected the "Alarm = OFF / AUS" option in the
"Settings / Einstellungen" menu, the Telemetry-Display remains
silent in this case (see also
12.2.2. Vario sound output
The Telemetry-Display is equipped with a sophisticated sound
output system for use with the Vario / Altimeter (# 8 5416).
Sound variant 1
The Vario sound rises as the rate of climb increases. As
the rate of climb increases, the repeat frequency of the
sound generated also rises.
If the model descends below the set sink rate, a low-
pitched sound is generated which becomes lower and
continuous as the sink rate increases.
Vario sounds are also generated in the range between
the set natural rate of descent and 0 m/s climb.
Sound output is muted at a value < - 3 m/s (sink).
Sound variant 2 (neutral suppression)
As sound variant 1, but no Vario sounds are generated
between the set natural rate of des-cent and 0 m/s.
! Note:
The lowest address with the measurement unit of m/s is used for
Vario sound output. This should be taken into account when
configuring the individual sensor addresses.
Example:
Address 3: current climb or descent in m/s.
Address 4: maximum climb in m/s.
