LED string alti
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the LEDs on LED String Alti visible during the day?
A: No, they are not. These altimeters are primarily meant to be used in low-light conditions, from sunset to sunrise. They do, however, log data for use any time of day. Mode 11 of the standard firmware turns the lights off but continues logging.
Q: Can I buy different length LED strings separately?
A: Absolutely, just go to the Eronotix Store.
Q: Can I use rechargeable batteries in the altimeter?
A: Yes, LED String Alti works with rechargeable batteries with the only caveat being that the LEDs will be just slightly dimmer.
Q: Can I use an alternate power source such as AA batteries instead of AAA?
A: Yes, LED String Alti requires a power source around 5V, so 4 x AA batteries will work as well, although this will add weight.
Q: How much battery life does this altimeter get?
A: The battery life of LED String Alti depends on which settings are being used and how it is flown. Generally speaking several hours of flight should be possible when using good fresh batteries.
Q: Is this altimeter waterproof?
A: No it is not, and landing LED String Alti in water should be avoided at all costs.
Q: How high can the altimeter measure altitude?
A: LED String Alti can measure altitude with full accuracy up to 30,000 feet, which would break the current record for the highest flight of any kite in history.
