Pressure Lines
Veronte has two pressure input lines, one for static pressure to determine the absolute
pressure and one for pitot in order to determine the dynamic pressure.
Absolute pressure connection on the aircraft is mandatory while pitot port can be obviated in
some aircrafts. Pitot port absence must be configured on Veronte Pipe software.
Pressure Intake
•
Pressure intakes must be located in order to prevent clogging.
•
Never install pressure intakes on the propeller flow.
•
Design pressure tubing path in order to avoid tube constriction.
Static Pressure
•
It is not recommended to use inside fuselage pressure if it is not properly vented.
Pitot Tube
•
Pitot tube must be installed facing the airflow in the direction of the “x” axis of the aircraft.
•
It is recommended to install it near the aircraft axis in order to avoid false measures during manoeuvres.
•
For low speed aircrafts it is recommended at least 6,3mm tubes for preventing rain obstruction.

Power
Veronte can use unregulated DC (6.5V to 36V). Pins used for power and ground are the same
for both Ground and Air configurations.
LiPo batteries between 2S and 8S can be used without regulation needs. Remaining battery
can be controlled by the internal voltage sensor and by configuring the voltage warnings on
the PC application.
For higher voltage installations, voltage regulators must be used. For dimensioning voltage
regulators take into account that a blocked servo can activate regulator thermal protection.
Caution!!
Power Veronte out of the given range can cause irreversible damage
to the system. Please read carefully the manual before powering the system.
Veronte and servos can be powered by the same or different batteries. In case there are more
than one battery on the system, a single point ground union it is needed to ensure a good
performance. The ground signal should be isolated from other noisy ground references (e.g.
engines). If all ground need to be connected, connection should be made on the negative pole
of the battery.
It is recommendable to use independent switches for autopilot and motor / actuators. During
the system initialization, PWM signal will be fixed to low level (0V), please make sure that
actuators / motor connected support this behaviour before installing a single switch for the
whole system.
