Altimeter — Manual 1. Introduction
1 Introduction
First of all, we would like to thank you for purchasing our device.
Indu Altimeter is an electronic device, which mimics classical altime-
ter construction and combines it with the state of the art electronics.
This results in the best of both worlds; a perfect and intuitive ana-
logue reading combined with high precision of modern electronics.
This manual describes the technical description of the unit, installa-
tion and operation.
CAUTION: Indu Altimeter is not TSO approved as a flight
instrument.
1.1 General Description
Indu Altimeter is an electromechanical device. It consist of high
precision electronic barometric sensor, which provides static pressure
information in digital form. The electronics reads the sensor and
drives two coaxial stepper motors turning one needle each. The pres-
sure information is also shown on a colour LCD display. A rotating
push knob is used to adjust the barometricoffset (aka QNH value)
and to adjust LCD display brightness
