1.1 Special features
The TEK-Vario + TAS sensor includes a series of
innovative features:
· Measurement of sink rate / climb rate using the
precision TEK-Vario + TAS sensor.
· Adjustable TEK effect.
· Measurement of actual airow speed by monitoring
pitot (stagnation) pressure.
· Measurement of the current altitude by monitoring
ambient pressure.
· Measurement of rate of climb and descent by means
of the vario / altimeter also included in the unit.
· Automatic calibration of the TEK-Vario sensor and
altimeter.
· Automatic calibration of speed measurement.
· User-variable warning threshold for maximum speed.
· User-variable warning threshold for minimum speed
(stall warning).
· Automatic adjustment of speed measurement relati-
ve to air density, which varies with height above sea
level. This feature ensures an accurate display of the
model’s speed regardless of its altitude.
· User-variable warning threshold for minimum and
maximum altitude.
· User-variable warning threshold für maximum rate
of descent.
· User-variable vario integration time.
· User-variable suppression of model’s inherent rate
of descent.
· Simple method of setting up and updating using
MULTIPLEX Launcher software.
