Hi,

I am a dealer for LX and Filser. I'm somewhat new so I have more to learn,
but I've read all the manuals and played with the units.

LX Navigation and Filser are unique companies with some products available
from both companies and some products unique to each company. They have a
close working relationship.

Available from Filser
- LX5000
- LX20
- Radios
- Transponders

Available from LX Navigation
- LX 7000
- Colibri
- LX1600
- LX160

More details on the available products are on my web site.

The wiring diagram for the LX5000 is available on the Filser web site in the
back of the manual.

The RS-485 data splitter is used to connect additional display units and
remote control units to the LX5000 and LX7000. I don't believe it is used
for GPS data.

You are correct that the DB-9 connector on the back of the LX5000 is the one
to use for GPS data.

Feel free to contact me if you want custom cables for connecting the LX5000
to your PDA.

Thanks,

Hello,

Looking at the LX navigation and Filser website (by the way what's the
relation between these two ?), there's one thing which isn't 100% clear to
me:

I'll soon have a LX5000 FAI, and I'd like to connect my iPAQ running
winpilot to it.

If I look at the wiring diagram, they are 2 RS232 outputs:

- one for the PC with a binder type connector coming out of the
instrument
panel. OK, I'll use that to connect to a laptop

- one with a standard sub 9 connector which I guess I can use to output
the
NMEA sentences towards the ipaq ? and upload info the the LX5000 using
flyWithCE downloader ?
Is this correct ?

I saw that there was a "data spliter" available. I guess I only need that
if
I want to have NMEA output towards more than one unit, is that correct ?
Is the LX5000 - PC cable (with female binder connector) delivered with the
unit ?

Regards,
Ludovic
