Note: When using a piezo extension bleeper, use a stereo jack plug and
leave the jack’s ring unconnected. (Fairhaven can supply this part). With
an intercom or piezo earpiece, use a mono jack, this will connect a filter
to give a smoother sound.
Reassembly: Take care when replacing the 4 screws. Engage the threads
by turning the screws slightly anti-clockwise before tightening. Do not
over tighten.
Audio tones
Tones are typical with a “bleep-bleep” that increases in rate and tone
frequency to indicate lift and a continuous tone for sink. The sink tone
starts high and reduces in tone with increasing sink. See “Changing
Settings” to customise the vario’s tone response.
Any type of stereo earbuds can be used too, or the Alti Vario can be
connected to an intercom for tandem or sailplane gliding, to your paramotor
headset auxiliary input, or as an aid if you have impaired hearing.
You can set the Alti Vario to match your headset type and volume
preference with a moveable link inside the case, situated behind the
power switch. Use the lower settings for headphones and the higher
settings for an external piezo bleeper. Headset volume is independent of
the volume settings for the internal bleeper.
