News - Swift - Australian Sage Distributor
A recent visit to Williams Soaring and it's owner Rex Mayes , resulted in Swift Avionics becoming the Australian Sage agent. These instruments are mechanically a piece of art. There are so few moving parts, it's amazing. This instrument devised in the 70's by gliding legend Will Scheumann, use a taut wire mechanism to suspend the vario 'needle'. Now, with audio included, all Sage lovers have had their prayers answered !

PK312

This device will supply the Tasman V1000 variometer with automatic battery power backup in the event of failure of the main supply. It can provide a "get home" fail safe facility or simply allow the continuation of a flight that might otherwise be lost. It operates by sampling the load current and switches to the best power source by a latching relay. The LO BATT signal is diplayed when operating from under 10.5 volts. No standby power is consumed by the PK312.

Old version
When the Variometer is switched on the input voltage is measured. Depending on the result one of two modes are selected.

1. 12 volt supply: LO BATT signal illuminates at 10.5 volts with full audio function.
2. 9 volt supply: LO BATT signal illuminates at 7.2 volts and the audio is not available.
This mode allows operation from a 9V PP3 Alkaline type battery and will supply at least 10 hours of operation.

The Variometer will operate at full specification down to a supply of about 7 volts.
 

INSTALLATION.
Installation of the Variometer is simple with only a TE probe connection required with the "T" piece and wiring cable supplied. All wiring connections are made to the Variometer with telephone type plugs. A remote Variometer display is available and can be connected via the external data port with the cable supplied.
The Variometer requires a standard 57mm. dia. panel cutout.
