PBS-TAV, True-Airspeed-Vario, PowerBox # 6626
The PBS-TAV complements the PowerBox Sensor range with a high-quality speed sensor. TAV stands for True-Airspeed-Vario. As the name suggests, the PBS-TAV sensor can measure airspeed, altitude, and climb rate. Since the speed and altitude information is available with unprecedented accuracy, the climb rate can be calculated with compensated total energy. This means that the variometer only shows "true" thermals, and controlled climbing or sinking is filtered out.
The design of the PBS-TAV consists of two pressure chambers sealed with O-rings, which house the two independently operating high-precision MEMS pressure sensors. The housing is made of two robust milled aluminum parts with steel hose nipples.
The total energy compensation has a built-in factor that allows fine adjustment of the compensation from the transmitter. Once the factor has been flown in, it can then be permanently programmed into the sensor.
The included Pitot tube is very compact in design and can be installed either permanently or retractably into the fuselage or wing with the optionally available Pitot slide.
The sensor can be connected to various telemetry systems. The system is automatically recognized. The PBS-TAV is therefore Plug'n Play.
