Launch Activated Device
Let’s say you are night launching and wanted to activate a secondary collection of lights or LED’s once the rocket is in flight.
You can wire up external LED’s or lights to the Aux Terminals of the RRC3 for launch activated event. This example
illustrates a continuously activated set of LED’s.

Simple Timed Staging or Airstart Event
The Aux Output can ignite an upper stage sustainer or air ‐ started motors using simple timed operation after the Launch
Event trigger. Keep in mind the Launch Event triggers occurs when the rocket altitude is above the Arming Altitude.
Calculate a Timer Interval by adding your first motor anticipated burn time plus the coast time you desire before the staging
or airstart event. Timer intervals are express in 1/10th second values... so for 3 seconds, use a value of 30.

Advanced Timed Staging or Airstart Event with Altitude Permissive
This example provides the same timing setup from the previous example, but adds a minimum altitude requirement
comparative step to ensure a safe minimum altitude has been reached by the first motor burn portion of the flight. The
comparator is checked once, and if the minimum altitude has not been reached, then no Aux Event output will be initiated.
For this example we’ll require a 2000 ft. AGL minimum altitude. Remember that all Comparator Values are x100 , so for a
2000 ft. minimum we’ll use a value of 20.
