MA10

The Toughest Altimaster
 

compressed scale MA10

linear scale MA10

• ROBUST stepper motor mechanism

• 0-40,000' dual scale operation

• Use in simple "zero" mode for training, or preset DZ altitude and DZ barometric pressure for operational use

• Easily accessible batteries (Type AA)

• 100 hrs+ battery life (L91 AA Lithium)

• Electroluminescent dial face

• Robust aluminum frame

• Waterproof  down to 6 feet of water (note: the battery are designed to be changed quickly and without tools, for this reason the battery compartment is not waterproof)

• One piece wrist strap, no tools required to change

• No knobs or protrusions

• -40+80 deg C operation (L91 AA Lithium Battery)

• Weight and dimensions are smaller than the original MA2-30 military Altimaster design

Operation at below -40 deg C

Drop Test

30 minutes tumbling in sand and fine dust

Since the scale is controlled by the embedded software, the user can specify the scale design when placing an order, i.e. the MA-10 can be supplied with a dial face that is identical to the MA2-30.

For training purposes the instrument has a simple zero function. For operational use the DZ altitude and barometric pressure may be preset, the MA-10 will display the correct AGL altitude above the DZ.

The unit is based on a stepper motor design and is extremely robust, dropping the instrument will not damage the mechanism.

The embedded software is updateable.
