Mounting
The Alti Vario can be mounted on your wrist, over a coat sleeve or on your
risers, or it can be panel-mounted in sailplane gliders etc. We supply a
spare strap that can be cut down as required and 2 adhesive Velcro pads
that will stick to most surfaces and can be sewn onto clothing. The strap
retainer can be fixed horizontally or vertically or removed if the Micro Alti
is mounted onto a flat surface. Additionally you may wish to tie a loop
of cord to the strap retainer and pass the cord around your wrist or riser
for extra security. Ensure that this will not entangle with lines or controls.
Battery
The battery is a 100mA re-chargeable Lithium Polymer type that is
automatically re-charged when the Micro Alti is plugged in to any USB
5 volt supply, such as a computer, phone charger, satnav lead or solar
charger and we have included a neat little charger that plugs into your
car’s cigarette lighter socket.
The Micro Alti lights up when charging and a full charge of one hour will
supply the Alti Vario for up to 5 days of typical use, but even a short charge
is sufficient for most flights. The charger will switch off automatically and
the light will extinguish at the end of the charge period.
Note: This product is designed as an aid in the sport of amateur flying
under visual flight rules. It is not guaranteed for use in obstacle or
aircraft avoidance.
The specification may change from time to time and firmware upgrades can be provided if required.
