PBS-TAV True Airspeed Vario sensor
Product Details
Description
The PBS-TAV
complements the range of PowerBox sensors with a high-quality speed sensor. TAV
stands for True Airspeed Vario, and, as the name implies, the PBS-TAV sensor is
able to measure the model's flying speed, altitude and rate of climb. Since the
speed and height information are presented with unprecedented precision, the
climb rate can be calculated from the data with total energy compensation. This
means that the vario only indicates "genuine" thermal activity, and
any rise and fall due to control commands is excluded from the calculations.
The PBS-TAV sensor consists of two pressure chambers with
O-ring seals, each containing one of the two super-accurate MEMS pressure sensors,
operating independently of each other. The case consists of two robust machined
aluminium parts with steel hose nipples.
The Total Energy Compensation feature includes a factor
which allows the compensation to be fine-tuned from the transmitter. Once the
factor has been determined in test-flights, the value can be programmed
permanently in the sensor.
The Pitot tube included in the set is of very compact
design, and can be installed in the fuselage or wing either permanently, or -
using the optional Pitot slide - in a retractable form.
The sensor can be connected to various telemetry systems;
the system is automatically detected, making the PBS-TAV Plug'n'Play.
