KEY FEATURES

GPS Logger

The XC Tracer Mini V simultaneously records IGC and KML files. The FAI recognizes the IGC files for paragliding competitions. And the KML files can be viewed directly on Google Earth.

 

Excellent autonomy

Don't be surprised if you never have to recharge the vario during a whole season! The Vario has a built-in lithium-polymer battery, which is fully charged for about 30 hours of continuous operation, including operation of FLARM and FANET, data transmission via BLE and recording of IGC and KML files. But since the battery recharges during the flight by the built-in solar cells, the autonomy is almost unlimited. The battery can be recharged via the included USB - C cable if needed.

 

Safety first

The Mini V has a built-in FLARM and FANET to protect you from collisions. Want to know where your buddies are on the road? If you carry a smartphone with a suitable app, that's no problem. The app receives the FANET position signals of your buddies via the Bluetooth channel of your Mini V and displays them on your phone. With some apps, you can send text messages to your buddies via Bluetooth and FANET. Logically, your own Mini V also continuously transmits your position via FANET and FLARM. Together with the XC Tracer Maxx II, the Mini V is one of the few Varios in the world certified according to the strict FCC criteria. 

In the worst case scenario, if a buddy doesn't show up in the evening, you can check your smartphone app to see where your buddy's vario last sent a FANET signal. You'll find latitude, longitude, altitude, and status if the app supports it. This info can be very helpful in locating a missing paraglider. 

 

Bluetooth

The XC Tracer Mini V has a BLE 4.2 module (Bluetooth Low Energy). So you can connect your app (see list) on your Android/iOS/e-reader to the vario via BLE.

 

Simply

One button, and that's it. The button turns the device on and off and changes the volume from 0 (no sound) to 4 (loud).

The configuration of the vario is done via an intuitive text file.

In general, with USB_MSD support for XC Tracer:

If the USB cable is connected to the XC Tracer when the XC Tracer is switched on, the XC Tracer works in USB_MSD mode. Then you have to press the red button for about 1 second to switch the device on or off. In this mode, you can copy files to the tracer, download logs to the computer or do a firmware update by adding the new firmware (* .bin file for XC Tracer / XC Tracer Mini & * .iap file for XC Tracer II). Copy drag & drop to the XC Tracer SD card. When the XC Tracer is switched off, the new firmware is installed.

If the USB cable is not connected to the XC Tracer when the XC Tracer is switched on, the XC Tracer will work in flight mode. Then you have to press the red button for about 3 seconds to switch the device on or off.

 

Flight log

As a flight log, we recommend the LogFly software. Intuitive and compatible with XC Tracer, LogFly does everything automatically and provides a lot of interesting information and statistics.
