Details about the Instrumenation fitted to SSS gliders
Variometers
Most of the club glider's have Borgelt Instruments varios. These are pressure sensor variometers and all are total energy compensated.
Sadly they are not fitted with averagers but an average can be gained by pressing the instant average button.
Radios
Loggers/Barographs
The club has an EW type B Barograph. This can be carried on a pilot's person or in a glider pocket for Duration and Height claims.
EGF is fitted with a Volklogger GPS/logger.
Batteries
The batteries we use are 7AmpH Sealed Lead Acid type (apart from the Vega which uses a 12AH type). They are connected to the glider electrical bus via a female XLR socket wired as:
- Pin 1 = +12v
- Pin 2 = NC
- Pin 3 = 0V
