GETTING STARTED

2.1

CONNECTIONS, SENSORS and AIR MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

Main Features :

oDual purpose mini USB socket allows the Digifly AIR to be recharged with the supplied Digifly 5v charger and,

additionally, to be connected to a personal computer or Mac for configuration & flight data management.

oMicro SD card slot; use Class 10 cards with 8 to 32GB formatted FAT32.

oBluetooth System -AIR BT model only- for wireless communication with other electronic devices

oIntegrated Digi-FlyBox to send its Telemetry to another electronic device, via USB cable or via Bluetooth. This

means sending the information from its sensors through a wireless communication system.

oGPS receiver - 99 channels

oBarometer (atmospheric pressure sensor)

oIntegrated anemometer – pitot tube (optional)

oAHRS – 3-axis inertial platform: Spatial position and direction vectors

relative to the 3 spatial axes.

o3-axis magnetic compass

o3-axis accelerometer

oFree digital worldwide topographic maps.

oAirspace upload and management.

oThree Free management software programs both for PC or Mac: AirTools, AirPages and AirUpdater.

Optional Features:

oIntegrated anemometer – Pitot Tube System

2.2

BATTERY

The main power is supplied by an internal rechargeable high capacity lithium battery, which has no memory

effect, so it can be partially recharged, without affecting the battery’s life. It also has a very low self-discharge

rate (about six months) and works very well at low temperatures. A fully charged battery will power the

instrument for over 30 hours: when the battery icon starts to flash, you have approximately 4 hours left of

battery power.

Make sure your instrument is fully charged any time you put store it for a longer period of time (e.g. end of the

flying season) or any time you know you won’t be using it for a while.

To avoid permanent battery damage, you must ensure that it receives a full charge within 3 months of the last

full charge.

2.2.1

BATTERY RECHARGE

To recharge the instrument, connect it to a power source with the USB cable.

Input: DC 5v is required and a 1A is recommended.

The required time for a full charge is about 8 hours.

There are no problems if you leave the vario charging for more than 8 hours, as the vario automatically switches

to a “maintain mode” preventing the battery from being overcharged.

The Digifly AIR’s lithium battery has no “memory effect”, so it can be also partially charged.

miniUSB

microSD slot

AIR_Manual_506a_ENG_rev_1.pdf Page 8/96

2.2.2

EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY

The mini USB socket can be used to power the instrument and simultaneously charge the internal battery.

An external stabilized 5VDC power supply (e.g. a solar panel, external power bank, etc.) with a minimum of

150mA is necessary to turn the instrument on; any excess power will be used to charge the internal lithium

battery. Proper solar panels are suitable to power the instrument.



Important Notice

: do not keep your Digifly AIR connected to its USB port in flight or in any situation where the

USB cable could create an undesired movement to the charging port, applying force on the soldered connection

of the mini USB, resulting in its detachment from the board. This also applies when you carry your AIR in your

harness or a backpack: do not have the USB cable connected to it.

2.3

KEYBOARD - NORMAL OR LONG KEY PRESS

The time length you keep the keys pressed on your Digifly instrument selects the available functions.

For a

normal press:

press the button for less than a second

For a

LONG PRESS:

keep the button pressed down for at least 2 seconds

Note

: When not specified, the key press has to be considered as a normal key press (less than a second).

2.4

POWER ON & OFF

To

turn

your Digifly AIR

, press the key for at least 4 seconds, until you hear it “beep”.

To

turn

your Digifly AIR

off

, press the key for at least 4 seconds, until you hear it “beep”. If the logger is

recording, you will be prompted to confirm your choice by pressing the key or, to cancel, press the key;

it will automatically cancel the request within 3 seconds of no input.

After switching your Digifly off, wait at least 5 seconds before attempting to turn it on again; this prevents

unwanted operation.

After turning your Digifly on, the first screen briefly shows the vario model, pilot name (if set), microSD status,

logger status, vario serial number, firmware version and battery voltage.

2.5

DISPLAY CONTRAST ADJUSTMENT

To change the contrast of the display, press the key to enter the “MAIN

SETUP” menu, select CTRS (

MAIN SETUP \ n. 1 CTRS)

, go to the edit mode

pressing the key, set the preferred contrast using the keys: ‘arrow UP’

or ‘arrow DOWN’ , then save the changes by pressing the key.

2.6

To navigate the menus of your instrument, press the key (“MENU”

function).

To select the sub-menus, scroll UP or DOWN the list using the arrow

keys, then confirm your choice pressing the key (“ENT” function).

To exit and get back to the main screen press the key (“ESC” function).

AIR_Manual_506a_ENG_rev_1.pdf Page 9/96

2.6.1

STANDARD FIELDS EDITING

To change parameters and settings, select the parameter you want to change by scrolling UP or DOWN using the

keys, press the key (“EDIT” function) to enter in the edit mode.

To change the value of the selected parameter, use the keys to select the new value, each parameter’s

change is automatically saved (“AUTOSAVE” function) when you exit; keeping the , keys pressed

activates the quick parameter change (“AUTOREPEAT”) function.

To exit from the edit function, press the key (“ESC” function).

2.6.2

ALPHANUMERICAL FIELDS EDITING

Changing the alphanumerical fields is different from the normal editing described above, because it is possible

to modify every single character of the field.

To modify the field, press the key (“EDIT” function) that activates the edit mode.

Use the arrow keys to change the character shown in reverse mode on the display. Each parameter’s

change is automatically saved (“AUTOSAVE” function) when you exit; a LONG PRESSof the arrow keys activates

the quick parameter change (“AUTOREPEAT”) function. Pressing will take you straight to the alphabet.

By pressing the key, you will shift to the character on the right and edit it; by pressing the key repeatedly

you will scroll towards the right through all the individual fields until you go back to the first one. A LONG PRESS of

the key moves back to the left; to exit press the key.

2.7

MULTI LANGUAGE HELP

“Help” texts are available in the setup menus to guide you through the parameters. It is possible to set a

language for these texts on the MAIN SETUP menu (

MAIN SETUP \ n. 2 LANG

) by selecting the preferred

language. The change will be automatically saved when you exit.

Another option is for you to create your own files using AirTools, save it and then upload it to the instrument.

You cannot upload one single line at a time, you upload all the helps contained in a menu (Main, Advanced or

Variometer).

Important

: after every firmware update, it is necessary to update the help file containing the help messages as

well. The help file update can be performed from your PC/Mac using Digifly AirTools, function: “upload HELP”.

2.8

RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS

To restore the factory settings (default values for all parameters), with the instrument OFF, simultaneously hold

down the & keys, until the message “FACTORY SET?” appears. Confirm with or cancel with .

2.9

RESET

If a system crash occurs (resulting in the instrument freezing), press the (arrow down) and the (power)

buttons at the same time for at least 5 seconds; this will force the instrument to turn off and reset, then turn

your instrument back on normally. This reset will

not

erase any data or settings from your instrument.
