Technical data

MOP2 dimensions

• **MOP2 dimensions

**

• Hall current sensor dimensions
  

• Install MOP2 and Hall current sensor close to the positive lead of battery of the E-motor (refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 for detailed dimensions)

• Unscrew the screw holding the hall current sensor frame closed and then open it

• Place the positive lead cable from the battery through the open hall current sensor (refer to Figure 3 for positive current flow), close the frame and screw it back

• If the cable going through the sensor is not fixed entirely (too small diameter) we recommend padding the section of the cable that goes through the sensor before final fixing. If the cable is not fixed, there will be errors in measurements!

Hall sensor – positive current flow direction

Functional test

Functional test can be performed on the LXxxxx system by 2 procedures.

MOP2 Setup – option:

• Switch on LXxxxx device and a FCU unit

• On the LXxxxx device, go to Setup->Password menu

• Insert password 09978
  Do not enter into password 09978, when engine is running. After entering into this menu, first MOP sensor is aligned to zero. If engine is running, you will have false indication of the current.

• Add power on FES

• Check Current on LX9000 and FCU unit (it should be equal).
  

ENGINE NOISE LEVEL option:
On the LXxxxx go to SETUP->HARDWARE->ENGINE.

1. Add power on FES
2. Check MOP level percentage bar (it should be equal to FCU unit; 100% = 100 Amp current).
   

Analysing MOP2 record

Mop record is stored in IGC file as additional column, called MOP. Mop values are normally moving between 0 and 999.

Connecting MOP2 to communication BUS

LXNAV MOP2 is connected to main unit through RS485 or CAN bus ­ depends on version and/or communication used.
If the MOP is version 1 and RS485 compatible then it should be connected to RS485 bus. Similarly to RS485 is CAN, that goes to the CAN bus.
If the MOP2 is universal (version 2) then it can be connected either to RS485 or CAN with the same connector. In a case, the glider has both, LX80/90×0 and S8x/10x instruments, the Flap Encoder can be connected to both of them with Universal CAN-485 splitter. Example of this connection can be seen in a figure bellow:

When RS485 CAN splitter cable is used, customer must take special care not to connect the connectors to opposite communication protocol. RS485 and CAN connectors have different pinouts and they can damage MOP”, LX80/90×0, S8x/10x or even all of the connected devices.
