The Multiplex Precision Vario Sensor is an advanced telemetry device designed to measure real-time airspeed and altitude, providing critical data to RC pilots. Developed and built in Germany, this sensor ensures high precision and reliability, making it an essential tool for improving flight safety and performance.
Key Features
- Real Flow Velocity Measurement: Accurately measures the true airspeed via dynamic pressure, which is crucial for understanding the aircraft's speed relative to the surrounding air.
- Altitude Measurement: Monitors the current altitude based on atmospheric pressure, providing real-time data to the pilot.
- Descent/Ascent Rate: Equipped with an additional vario/height sensor to measure the rate of descent or ascent, allowing for precise monitoring of vertical movements.
- Automatic Calibration: The sensor automatically calibrates itself, taking into account weather and atmospheric pressure changes for accurate measurements.
- Adjustable Warning Thresholds: Pilots can set custom warning thresholds to receive alerts if the airspeed falls below a certain level, such as during a landing approach to prevent stalling.
MSB System Integration
- Multiplex Sensor Bus (MSB):
- Intelligent Sensor System: Part of the MSB system, which enables intelligent communication between sensors.
- Series Connection: Up to 16 sensors can be connected in series, simplifying the setup without needing an additional sensor box.
Technical Specifications
- Real Flow Velocity: Provides precise airspeed measurements via dynamic pressure.
- Altitude Monitoring: Measures altitude above atmospheric pressure for accurate elevation data.
- Vario Sensor: Tracks the rate of descent/ascent for detailed vertical movement analysis.
- Automatic Calibration: Adjusts for weather and atmospheric changes to maintain measurement accuracy.
- Warning Thresholds: Customizable to alert pilots of critical speed conditions.
Application Examples
- RC Aircraft: Ideal for monitoring airspeed and altitude in remote control planes, enhancing flight safety and performance.
- Gliders and Sailplanes: Crucial for glider pilots to manage airspeed and altitude efficiently, particularly during thermal flights.
- General Aviation: Useful in various aviation applications where precise airspeed and altitude data are necessary.
