85416, Vario / Altimeter sensor

Multiplex, 85416, Vario / Altimeter sensor

A single sensor which combines altimeter and variometer. Extremely small, light and reasonably priced, since - in comparison with conventional stand-alone varios - no separate radio link is required. The vario / altimeter fits in virtually any model fuselage. Data such as altitude, climb rate, sink rate and maximum altitude are displayed directly on your transmitter. The audible tone indicating climb and sink can be switched on and off using a (freely assignable) switch on the transmitter (ROYALpro); if alarms are set, the audible alarm output remains active even when the tone is switched off. An essential instrument for glider pilots, but also for others, such as glider tug pilots. For example, an audible signal can be triggered to signal release time when the models reach a pre-set altitude.

The following can be activated and altered using the MULTImate, or using Sensor Data Manager on the PC:
Address Address (screen line on transmitter) at which the climb rate is displayed
Top alarm Upper climb rate value, above which an alarm is triggered at the transmitter
Bottom alarm Lower climb rate value, below which an alarm is triggered at the transmitter
Option Additional generation of minimum, average or maximum climb rate
Address option Address (screen line on transmitter) at which the optional value is displayed
Integration Integration period - time interval over which the altitude changes are integrated
The same applies to the altimeter (without integration time)
