1. Introduction

hank you for choosing FLYMAS ER B1nav. If you have any questions or comments

regarding the use of our vario you can visit our website or contact our Support

Department ([email protected]).

his manual covers Firmware versions up to 1.21h. If have a more recent version of

firmware some of the features may not be covered.

1.1.Getting started

Fully charge battery before using FLYMAS ER B1nav for the first time.

he battery may be charged by either connecting the B1nav's USB connector to the

wall socket charger or USB cable. B1nav's connector can be found on the right side of

the B1nav (see figure:1).

Battery charger connection (figure:1)

Please note that charging the battery using the wall socket charger is much faster using

a PC and respective USB cable, During the charging process the B1nav display “Quick

Charge” when connected to the wall socket charger and “Slow Charge” if connected to

the PC USB cable.

Document version: 1.4 Page 6

In “Quick charge” the battery should fully charge within approximately 3 hours, whilst in

“Slow charge” it may take up to 15 hours. Once the battery is fully charged the B1nav

will display “Complete” and stop charging.

B1nav uses a Lithium-ion polymer battery, which is not prone to “memory effect”,

herefore the battery does not need to be totally discharged before recharging. In fact,

in order to avoid battery degradation total battery discharge should be avoided.

1.2.B1 NAV Keys

B1nav keyboard (figure:2)

Four keys are used to interact with B1nav (see figure:2). Each key has 2 functions

depending on whether the device is in flight mode or in menu mode. Additionally the S1

key is used to “power-up” the B1 NAV when it is switched off.

In the flight mode Keys S2, S3 and S4 have user configurable functions F1, F2 and F3

that can allocated in the Menu->Settings->FS Keys. In menu mode all keys have fixed

functions represent by a symbol on the key.

1.3.Switching B1 NAV On and Off

o switch on the B1 NAV, briefly push the S1 key, this will display the start up screen

with a 10 second countdown . Pushing the S2 (Enter key) before the 10 seconds have

elapsed will initiate the B1 NAV On startup the B1 NAV will initiate in flight mode. If the

S2 key is not pushed the B1 NAV will go back to sleep.

o switch off the B1 NAV, push the S1(menu key) to activate menu mode, using the

arrow keys (S3 or S4) scroll the cursor to the “Shutdown” item and push the S2(Enter

Key).

2. The Flight M de Screen

he B1 NAV has a high resolution (320x240) and contrast display. his allows it to show

more useful information simultaneously.

In order to increase the usability of the device some of the information is dynamic. his

means the information can change according to the situation of flight. For example, if a

route is active and contains a start gate, the “Duration” field shows the “ ime to Go” up

to the point of start opening, after which it will show the duration of the flight.

he flight mode screen is divided into several areas called “sections”, see figure bellow:

Flight mode screen (figure:3)

2.1.Status indicat rs Secti n

In flight mode at the top of the FLYMAS ER B1 NAV screen, 3 symbols are visible

reporting the hardware status.

he 3 symbols from left to right are the Battery Level Indicator, Sound Level Indicator

and Satellite Lock Status.

Status indicators

•Battery Level Indicator

his symbol shows the status of the battery or charging indication.

Symb l Descripti n

•Battery level above 85%

•Battery level between 65% and 85%

•Battery level between 45% and 65%

•Battery level between 15% and 45%

•Battery level between 5% and 15%

•Less than 5% battery remaining

•Battery is charging.

•Battery not charging. his may be because of excess heat, the

B1nav's internal charge circuit will not charge the battery when

the battery temperature exceeds a 45ºC. Wait a while of try

moving the B1nav to a cooler location. If this status persists in

may indicate a problem with the battery.

•Sound Level Indicator

his symbol indicates the currently selected sound level (i.e. volume).

Symb l Descripti n

•Sound Level 3 (maximum sound level)

•Sound Level 2

•Sound Level 1

•Sound is muted (No sound)

Document version: 1.4 Page 9

•Satellite Lock Status

his indicator shows the number of satellites in use for calculating the current

position. When a 3D position can be obtained, usually when the GPS locks onto

more that 5 satellites, the indicator becomes highlighted.

As a general rule the more satellites that are locked the more accurate the

navigation solution. Note that FAI rules require 3D tracklog data, which includes

GPS altitude, therefore the B1 NAV will only start recording a tracklog when a 3d fix

is obtained.

he B1 NAV has very powerful 50 channel GPS receiver which offers unmatched

tracking performance in harsh signal environments (-160 dBm sensitivity), and very

short acquisition times. A differentiating factor of the B1 NAV is the 4 Hz GPS

update rate (others only provide 1Hz) which allows the B1 NAV pilot to see very

small speed and position changes. Furthermore, the movement of the position

arrow is smother and any position change is shown in ¼ of the time of other

devices. (4 Hz update rate requires more than 5 satellites in view).

More information about GPS accuracy and also other GPS related information can

be seen in (http://www.kowoma.de/en/gps/errors.htm).

2.2.Vari meter Secti n

he variometer section contains information about the rate of climb, it is comprised of

an analogue “instant” vertical speed indicator know as the Analogue vario and several

digital indicators providing information about averaged rates of climb.

Variometer Section (figure:4)

•Analogue vario

he Analogue vario bar is scaled from 0 m/s to +/-10 m/s depending if you are

climbing or sinking.

When the B1 NAV detects that the pilot is climbing, a black bar starts to grow from

the bottom of the scale to the top ,and for each increase of 0,1 m/s the bar height

graph will increase to the maximum of +10m/s.
