B1 User Manual

1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing FLYMASTERB1. This version of the user manual was

made for the 1.43 version of the Firmware.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the use of your vario you

can visit our website at http://www.flymaster-avionics.com or contact our

Support Department ([email protected])

2. Getting started

Fully charge the battery before start using FLYMASTERB1.

Charging battery can be performed either by connecting the wall socket

charger or the PC USB cable (both included in the package) to the B1 USB

port located on the right side of the B1 (see Figure 1).

Figure 1 – Battery charge connection

The charging process is automatically stopped once the battery is fully

charged. A message appears on the screen indicating the charging level and

the end of the process. Note that the charger is capable of fully charging the

battery in approximately 3 hours (quick charge), whilst the USB connecting

may take up to 15 hours (slow charge).

B1 uses a Lithium-ion polymer battery, which is not prone to “memory effect”,

so the battery does not need to be totally discharged before recharging. Full

charge lasts for over 20 operating hours, but recharging before each flight is

strongly recommended.

The flight timer will start automatically whenever the altitude varies more than

5 meters. The timer stops when the B1 is turned off. When a flight is started,

data collected during flight time is automatically recorded in the internal

memory.

3. Understanding the Flight Screen

The FLYMASTER  B1 has a high resolution (320x240) and contrast display.

This allows it to show more useful information simultaneously.

The Flymaster  B1 has two types of flights screen, the flight screen (see

Figure 5)and the motor flight screen (see Figure 6). The definition of the type

of the screen is made in the Screen Contrast option(see section 5.8).

Figure 5 – Default Flight Screen

3.1.1. Altitude graph

The FLYMASTERB1 has an altitude graph. Whenever the flight starts a line is

draw representing the altitude in meters (or feet) versus time, in seconds.

Altitude is represented in the vertical axis, and time in the horizontal axis.

The scale of the horizontal axis is fixed and corresponds to 2 minutes. This

means the plot will always represent absolute altitude of the last 2 minutes of

flight.
