unwinder to this plate.
Non-Totex Parachute
There is a hanger board tied to the parachute. Attach the unwinder to the
bottom of the hanger board.
Releasing the Balloon
In order to ensure 120 minutes of flight time, the radiosonde should be
launched within 15 minutes of battery connection.
Follow these steps to release the balloon:
1. Make sure the suspension string is not tangled.
2. Hold the unwinder to prevent the string from running out before the
release.
3. Release the balloon and allow the radiosonde to lift from your
hand. Keep the string length between the radiosonde and the
unwinder as short as possible.
Checking the Reception
Immediately after the release, check the reception of the radiosonde
frequency on the receiver.
Proceed to monitor the sounding with the sounding system.
Monitoring the Sounding
If you have not already done so, enter the surface observation
information in the sounding system. Refer to the sounding system’s user
manual for detailed instructions on using the sounding system software.
