Introduction
The Remote is one of the first glider remotes that features wireless control.
This kind of feature is an advantage for installation in gliders since less
space is required for physical wires. We create special shape which enables
firm but comfortable grip during flight. Press keys location with device shape
enables a smooth transition of fingers being in grip position to perform press
action on the wanted button.
Below is the shortlist of the additional features:
- Wireless communications.
- Supports a 12V and 24V system.
- Four-direction joystick with central push-button.
- Leather material for better grip and durability.
- Design to fit on multiple diameters of glider sticks.

Installation
Installation of the remote is simple and less time-consuming due to the smaller number of wires. It’s compatible with the Fenix device as with Fenix devices.
Physical connection wires
The standard version of the remote requires only four wires to be connected.
Colored wires red and blue are used for main power delivery to the unit. The
additional shielded black cable is used for the PTT function.
| Number | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | PTT ground wire |
| 2. | PTT signal wire |
| 3. | Negative power wire (-) |
12V / 24V power supply
4.| Positive power wire (+)
Pairing to the main unit
Before performing pairing, please note that during pairing there should be
only one powered external device (Fenix or Fenix) in the range of 20m from the
Remote unit to assure it is paired to the desired unit.
Pairing with turn off the main unit (e.g. Fenix or Fenix)
Pairing the remote unit is only performed once. The unit will remember the
last paired external unit, even after power restart. To pair the remote unit
with the external device, please see the guides below:
- Simultaneously press and hold the central push button and SC button.
- While holding buttons, turn on the master switch so the remote unit gets power. Keep holding the two buttons for at least 3 more seconds after power is applied, then you can release them.
- Turn on external device (e.g. Fenix or FenixS).
- After 5-10seconds, the external device should be fully controlled by the remote unit.
Adapter for glider handle
When purchasing the unit, please specify the correct adapter diameter for the
handling stick.
| Adapter internal diameter | Glider |
|---|---|
| 19.3mm | DG, LAK, Shempp-Hirth |
| 20.3mm | LS, Stemme, Apis, EB29 |
| 24.0mm | Schleicher, Pipistrel Taurus, Alisport Silent, EB28 |
| 25.4mm | JS |
Power supply
The unit supports 12 V(DC) and 24 V(DC) power supply. Additional properties:
- Max current consumption at 12 V(DC) is 35 mA.
- Max current consumption at 24 V(DC) is 18 mA.
- Integrated reverse polarity protection.
- Integrated under-voltage shutdown.
- Integrated maximum thermal limit protection.
NOTE
The unit can accept input voltage up to 32V(DC) however, crossing this limit
can damage the unit
PTT shielded cable
PTT function is directly wired to the internal button of the remote. The
operation works independently from the other remote functionality. The black
shielded cable should be connected directly to external terminals of VHF
radio. For correct connection of the PTT function, see the VHF radio
installation manual.
