Hi
I am going to order this device miniAlt/WD logging dual event altimeter
But as I live in Moscow and delivery will be far, I do not wish to be mistaken and be assured on 100 %
What principle of work at this device (is more detailed please)?
As there is a connection and adjustment?
What scheme of work of this device
Where and as the battery and an igniter is connected?
As that worked one parachute or two?
For a long time I dream to get it :)
Thanks!
 
The altimeter measures barometric pressure (B) in the picture.
It fires two charges (if connected) one at apogee, the other is programmable using (F).
The terminals labeled (E) are where you attach the deployment charges. The terminal to the right of E (not labeled) is where the arming switch is wired.
Battery wires connect to the terminal on the right hand side (on the end) of the picture.
It records flight data that can be downloaded by connecting to (C).
Also has a mach delay feature set by (G).
 
We too have wanted to have wild times with rockets like you.

Put simply...

In its basic mode it detects launch from air pressure, deploys one chute at max altitude and if you want, a second at a lower alt (300-1800 feet I believe) for dual deployment...

It also records max alt and beeps it out, and if you purchase the data cable you can download a graph of the entire flight...

Oh and its the most reliable unit I have ever flown! I own 2 and live by them... Also have their timer.
