AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System)
AHRS hardware is built in each V9/V8/V80 unit. To see the artificial horizon on the screen it
is necessary to activate that option.
It is recommended to install the vario as horizontally as possible. Small
corrections can be adjusted with pitch correction.

FES Bridge
The FES Bridge is a device which connects together a FCU CAN bus and a system RS485
bus.
Indication gauges can be created with the LXStyler or LAYOUT function. Just connect
correct the coloured wire to the appropriate pin. On the other side it should be connected
to the CAN bus (DB9) of the FCU. On this side 3 wires are needed to be soldered to the
right pins.

JDU Bridge
The JDU Bridge is a device which connects together a JDU CAN bus and a system RS485
bus.
Indication gauges can be created with the LXStyler or LAYOUT function. On the RS485 side
the easiest way is to connect to a RS485 splitter with Remote Stick pins (parallel). Just
connect the correct colour to the correct pin. On the other side it should be connected to
the CAN bus (DB9) of the FCU. On this side 3 wires are needed to be soldered to the
correct pins.
