Operation Manual FLYTEC 6040 GPS
45
The following batteries are appropriate for use:
2 pieces each per Bank NiMH Accumulators 2100mAh or more, 1.2V size AA. Estimated operation time
2 times 15h = 30h in total (delivery status).
In case of need, e.g. if the accumulators may not be charged in time, the FLYTEC 6040 GPS will also
work with standard Alkaline batteries!
2 pieces each per Bank Alkaline High Power Batteries 1.5V size AA. Estimated operation time -
2 times 20h = 40h in total.
The relevant battery types are to be set under Main Setup Menu
⇒
Instr.Settings
⇒
Batterytype.
A wrongly entered setting may lead to the result of the instrument’s premature and complete
switch-off when shifting from Bank 1 to Bank 2 and thus provides incorrect status information!
We recommend not to use NiCd Accumulators. These batteries have significantly reduced capacity and
they are less environment-friendly. Also the switching threshold is not laid-out for NiCd Accumulators.
Remark: the estimated operation time as mentioned before is based on normal temperatures
of approx. 20 – 25 °C. At low temperatures the batteries and accumulators have a markedly
shorter service life.
9 Transferring new software-(-firmware)to the Flytec 6040-GPS
As is the case with many other present-day instruments, there is also the possibility to up-date
the software (firmware) version. Hereby even future requirements presented by pilots or new
Competition regulations may be rapidly implemented. The manufacturer Bräuniger GmbH
shall post from time to time program up-dates of the FLYTEC 6030 GPS firmware on its Internet
homepage, which can be downloaded by the user free of charge for storage and subsequent
transfer to the FLYTEC 6040 GPS.
In order to be able to write into the COMPEO+ flash memory with a PC, the program „Flasher.exe“
is required, which is available in zipped format file under the name of “Flasher.zip”. Moreover
also the intrinsic firmware to be uploaded needs to be obtained from the homepage.
Its name is e.g. “FLYTEC6030v328.moc” (approx. 500 KB) which is equivalent to version 3.28.
Tip: we recommend to store all the related files in one single subdirectory (e.g. C:\Programs\FLYTEC
Flasher\). After decompressing the ZIP file a number of files are created.
