PowerBox PBS-TAV Pitot (6626)

PBS -TAV completes the PowerBox range of sensors with a high-quality speed sensor. TAV stands for True Airspeed Vario and, as the name suggests, the PBS-TAV sensor is capable of measuring the model's airspeed, altitude and climb rate. Since the speed and altitude information is presented with unprecedented precision, the climb speed can be calculated from the data with total energy compensation. This means that the vario indicates only "actual" thermal activity, and any increases or decreases caused by control commands are excluded from the calculation.

The PBS-TAV sensor consists of two pressure chambers with O-ring seals, each containing one of two super-accurate MEMS pressure sensors that operate independently of each other. The housing consists of two solid machined aluminum parts with steel hose fittings.
The total energy compensation function includes a coefficient that allows fine-tuning of compensation from the transducer. Once the coefficient has been established in test flights, the value can be permanently programmed into the sensor.
The included Pitot tube has a very compact design and can be permanently mounted in the fuselage or wing or, using the optional Pitot guide, in an extendable form.
The sensor can be connected to various telemetry systems; the system is automatically detected, making the PBS-TAV plug'n'play.
