In ‐ Flight Operational Modes
Apogee Detection Mode
While the RRC3 is actively sampling the barometric sensor to determine apogee and subsequent Drogue Event, both the
LED and Piezo will be OFF. When the unit determines that apogee has occurred (by reaching a displacement velocity of 0 ft
per second) it will initiate the Drogue Event. The Main Event may also activate at apogee based upon the configuration of
the Deployment Mode setting (see the following “Base Settings” section if the manual for more details).
Main Detection Mode
After the RRC3 has detected apogee, it will transition to the Main Detection Mode. The unit will continue to sample
barometric pressure during the descent phase of the flight until it reaches the designated Main Altitude setting.
Landing Detection Mode
Once the Main Event has occurred, the RRC3 starts monitoring for a Landing Event. The Landing Event occurs when current
velocity > ‐ 3 ft. per second for a minimum of 2 seconds.
Post ‐ Flight Operational Mode
After Landing Detection, the RRC3 will report the peak altitude it measured during flight. The piezo and the LED will
continuously report the peak altitude by beeping/flashing out the individual digits of the measurement. Depending on the
peak altitude, the unit will chirp out 3, 4, 5, or 6 digits. Should you have enabled any additional Post Flight Audio Options
(Peak velocity and/or Time to Apogee), they will beeped/flashed here as well. The RRC3 will continue to beep/flash this
data until powered off, and repeat the cycle every 10 seconds.
Base Settings
The RRC3 ” Base Settings” are a collection of settings and controls that provide all the basic functions of the altimeter. The
following list defines the Base Settings of the RRC3:
Arming Altitude Range: 10 to 30 (100 ft. to 300 ft.) / Default: 30
This setting establishes the minimum AGL altitude (in feet) required for the altimeter to arm itself for flight operations and
to commence the with drogue chute and main chute recovery controls. The setting is entered in 10 ft. increments.
Main Deployment Altitude Range: 3 to 30 (300 ft. to 3000 ft.) / Default: 5
This setting defines the AGL altitude (in feet) at which the main deployment event is activated during the descent phase of
the recovery. The main deployment event is always preceded by the drogue deployment event. The setting is entered in
100 ft. increments.
Deployment Mode Range: 1 to 3 / Default: 1
The Deployment Mode setting defines how and when the altimeter activates the drogue and main deployment events
during a flight. There are 3 distinct deployment modes:
1. Dual Deploy Primary Drogue @ Apogee / Main @ Main Deployment Altitude
2. Dual Deploy Backup Drogue @ Apogee + Drogue Delay / Main @ Deployment Altitude
3. Apogee Only Drogue @ Apogee / Main @ Apogee + 1 sec
