Introduction
The INFO-1 is a 2 1/4” sunlight readable multifunction color display instrument. The INFO-1 has the following features:
G-force meter
The INFO-1 is capable of measuring g-forces exerted in an aircraft up to +-16g. The INFO-1 also has the facility to record
the maximum positive and negative g-forces encountered (typically during a flight) in permanent memory, with a
password protected reset facility. It also features two independent cycle counters to capture the amount of times a preset
force has been exceeded. The INFO-1 is able to measure g-forces even if the instrument is not mounted exactly on the
vertical axis of the aircraft.
UTC and Local Time display
The INFO-1 is capable of displaying both UTC (as known as Zulu time) and local time to facilitate ordinary ATC time
reporting. Time is maintained by an internal lithium battery which can be replaced by the user.
Slip indicator
The INFO-1 can display a slip indicator. The slip indicator can be disabled in the menu system.
Battery Voltage, *Current and Charge display
The INFO-1 can be used to monitor your aircraft’s battery power supply. The INFO-1 is very useful in determining your
battery’s health, charging status, as well as the current load consumption of your aircraft. The INFO-1 can be used in both
12V and 24V aircraft and can measure voltages up to 30V DC.
The INFO-1 uses the MGL Avionics magnetic field or active current shunt to measure the aircrafts current load. The
INFO-1 contains a programmable low/high voltage alarm to automatically detect bad batteries and alternator failures. The
maximum and minimum voltage reached is also recorded in permanent memory.
OAT display
OAT can be shown in either degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit. The INFO-1 also contains a programmable low/high
OAT alarm. The maximum and minimum OAT reached is also recorded in permanent memory.
Flight Timer & Flight log
The INFO-1 provides a 50 entry flight log that stores the start time and duration of each of the last 50 flights. The flight
timer can either be started using a front push button or from a remote input.
Stopwatch, Countdown Timer & Alarm
Stopwatch and timers can be operated simultaneously to a programmable alarm, making the INFO-1 particularly suitable
for sport flying competitions.
