Introduction
First of all, we would like to thank you for purchasing our device.
Indu variometer is an electronic device, which mimics classical vari-
ometer construction and combines it with the state of the art elec-
tronics. This results in the best of both worlds; a perfect and intuitive
analogue reading combined with high precision of modern electronics.
This manual describes the technical description of the unit, installa-
tion and operation.
CAUTION: Indu Variometer is not TSO approved as a flight
instrument.
1.1
General Description
The variometer is an electromechanical device. It consist of high
precision electronic barometric sensor, which provides static pressure
information in digital form. The electronics reads the pressure sensor
and numerically calculates the altitude change. The result drives
stepper motor turning a needle. The calculated rate of change is also
shown on a colour LCD display. When connected to a CAN bus the
variometer outputs the vertical speed information. Analog scale is
divided lineary with a zero speed on the left side. An optional dim
knob can be connected to the device and it is used to adjust the
brightness of the screen.
