Now new: setting by rotary switch!
Simply the simplest altimeter for rockets: The new Altimax Simply 2018. Suitable for simple recovery tasks or for two-stage recovery, also as a backup to other altimeters. Airstarts of black powder motors with starter detection and at 30 m altitude are also possible.
- 35x21 mm small, 4.6 g light - Fits in a 25mm tube!
- Connection via 8-pin board connector or screw terminal.
- Power supply from 3.3 V, so also with 1S-Lipos, 2S-Lipos recommended
- 2 ignition outputs
- 16 different operating modes adjustable with rotary switch, including channel 1 in peak or 2 seconds later, channel 2 in 60, 90, 120, 150 or 200 m. Plus 4 modes for airstarts and an automatic ignition test.
- Ready to fly out of the box, plug in, fly!
- Flight altitude from -200m to approx. 31 km, resolution approx. 15 cm.
- Highly accurate calibrated and temperature compensated pressure sensor.
- Supplied in anti-static bag for safe storage
- incl. connector with 25 cm cable for the version with connector
- There are 2 modes for channel 1: either at the peak or 2 seconds after.
- For channel 2 there are 5 different trigger heights: When falling below 60, 90, 120, 150 or 200 m.
- The standard mode is completely without jumpers, then channel 1 is fired at the summit and channel 2 when the height falls below 150 m. Modes for channel 1 and channel 2 can be combined. It doesn't matter which way you hold the board, the plug patterns work the same in both directions!
- 4 special modes for airstarts are also included, whereby channel 1 is ignited at the peak, but channel 2 is ignited either when the starter is detected or when the altitude exceeds 30m.
In addition, you can activate an automatic ignition test via jumper setting, which activates the ignition outputs after 20 seconds, very useful for ejection tests on the ground.
The Altimax Simply 2018 is delivered with the setting for two-stage recovery (summit / 150m) and can be used immediately.
The Altimax Simply 2018 has a sturdy 8-pin plug for connection to the rocket. Included is a socket with approx. 25 cm long cables, to which switches and ignition terminals can be connected directly. The plug principle makes it easy to exchange between rockets, the plugs ensure a very safe contact, far safer than screw terminals. Additional cables are available at a reasonable price. The Altimax Simply is plug-compatible with the old Altimax mini and Altimax G2 mini.
