Spektrum Aircraft Telemetry Variometer Sensor - SPMA9589

 

Product Information

This is a variometer telemetry sensor for sailplanes from Spektrum. 

The Spektrum variometer is a telemetry sensor for sailplanes that indicates the rate of ascent and descent via an audible tone using select Spektrum™ transmitters*. This provides an indicator to the pilot when the sailplane is in a thermal of rising , or sinking air. By knowing when the sailplane is rising or sinking, the pilot can keep the sailplane in rising air and out of sinking air providing longer flight times. It also includes an altimeter function that is useful for safe flying to know high your model is in areas that have regulated height restrictions.

  • Variometer data indicates the rate of ascent and descent for sailplanes
  • Compact size easily fits in most sailplane applications
  • The internal sensor automatically senses barometric pressure in order to determine rate of climb and altitude with no calibration required
  • Built-in altimeter provides altimeter information giving the end user accurate readings of altitude above ground level (AGL)
  • The Vario sensor connects via the XBus port on your compatible Spektrum receiver
  • Fully compatible with the Spektrum DX6 Gen2, DX7 Gen2, DX8 Gen2, DX9, DX18 G2, DX18QQ, DX20, iX12 and iX20; DX8 only compatible with altimeter functionality
  • DX6e and DX8e are compatible but will not audibly report ascending or descending tones.
  • TM1000 or a Telemetry capable receiver and a Telemetry Capable Transmitter required
