CLEVER BOX VARIO SYSTEM

A Vario plus a little bit more

Announcing the new CLEVER BOX system. For the Glider pilot who wants more than just a basic Audio Variometer.

XK10 Club

XK10 "Club" Variometer  £269.00

The variometer is designed to promote flight safety by encouraging head up flying, and to be simple and reliable to operate. Great care has been taken to produce an original audio sound that is more pleasing and informative to listen to, than those previously available.

The impetus for the design was the production of a standard variometer with an audio unit, that used the very latest 'state of the art' digital circuit pressure transducer technology. This technology obviates the need for the capacity flask as sued in older designs, thus removing the problems associated with false climb readings , due to higher internal flask temperatures and the problem of under reading when heated thermistor bridges are affected by high ambient air temperatures.

The provision of high quality components and innovative design has resulted in a first class standard variometer with an integral audio at a reasonable price, that can replace or supplement the standard mechanical variometer. When the 60mm repeater meter is added to the XK10 Club, then it is a much more economical and safer option than fitting two mechanical variometers to two seater tandem gliders.

A Dedicated LCD Display Intelligent Averager is available. £169.00. This option is simply achieved by plugging into the back of the XK10 Club so that it can communicate with the Averager. The Averager unit will fit the standard 57mm miniature hole size and contains facilities for checking battery voltage, scale change switching to a 5knot Variometer (or 2.5 metres/sec for the metric version). Selection of Climb and Cruise and three Averager modes, speed to fly datum, high sink rate alert, auto shutdown overnight.
