Operation manual Flytec 3040 Balloon 2. 3 Operating Philosophy Flytec’s philosophy is to produce user-friendly instruments. When you turn on the instrument the instrument will go through a self test and proceed to the Normal flight mode. The key functions of Flytec 3040 is also based on simple principles. The keyboard interprets two keystrock times: 1. Short press Æ. Approximate 1 second Example: Repeatedly pressing the yellow altimeter key, switch the altimete display forward ALTI ft. / QNH hPa / ALT.
Operation manual Flytec 3040 Balloon 4 2.1.3 Configuration mode This mode allows for example a QNH adjust (age deviation of the pressure sensor). This mode is accessed by pressing a specific keyboard key combination, see QNH Correction Annex page 18 . 3. Switching the instrument ON / OFF 3.1 Switching the Instrument On The 3040 unit is equipped with two independent 9V batteries.
Operation manual Flytec 3040 Balloon 4. The Altimeter 4.1 How does an altimeter work? 5 A barometric altimeter calculates altitude (elevation) from the actual air pressure of the atmosphere at a given location. Air pressure decreases with increasing elevation, however, since air is compressible, the pressure change is exponential not linear. Altimeters designed for aviation use the CINA (Commision International de Navigation Aérienne) formula to derive altitude from air pressure.

When you adjust the altimeter, the QNH value is automatically reajusted. The QNH display shows the reduced barometric pressure to sea level.
Operation manual Flytec 3040 Balloon 5. 7 Variometer The variometer displays the vertical speed and informs the pilot about the actual climb or sink rate . The sink rate is also indicated by an acoustric sound. 5.1 Variometer Overview 1s 3s Key SINK ALARM - 5.2 1s Acoustic Volume Set Volume Off Æ Level 1, 2 Sink Allarm Exit to normal mode O-I-II Analog VarioDisplay (LCD bardisplay) Each graduation on the analog bar scale equals 20 cm/s. Up to 5 m/s, the bar fills up from the center.
Operation manual Flytec 3040 Balloon 5.4 8 Sink -Akustik In order to inform the pilot to the current sink rate without looking on the instrument, the Vario-Acoustics generate a tone sequence dependent on the value data. The VarioAcoustic corresponds always to the value of Analogue-Vario. The sink acoustic of the variometer can be adjusted in the FLYTEC 3040 instrument to the personal needs of the pilot.
Operation manual Flytec 3040 Balloon 7. 9 Time functions This unit has two time functions: a real-time clock, and a stopwatch The change between the three functions in the bottom display can be done with a short press of the button CHRONO The activated time display appears with the indicator arrow on Chrono. ENV TEMP AMB TEMP CHRONO 7.1 real time clock ◄ ◄ RTC: If the indicator arrow points to CHRONO, the Real-time is displayed in the lower display field.

Operation manual Flytec 3040 Balloon 11 8.2.1 Envelope Temperature Display (ENV TEMP) Temperature is being displayed as soon as the radio transmission unit TT34 starts transmitting valid data, and the REC switch (receiver) is switched ON (REC Position).
Operation manual Flytec 3040 Balloon 8.4 12 Personal temperature alarm If the given alarm level is reached the personal temperature alarm goes on. Then an impulse tone is activated. By pressing the TEMP ALARM OFF key the alarm can be switched off for 20 seconds. The alarm re sounds until the balloon envelope temperature is out of the alarm level bench again. 8.4.
Operation manual Flytec 3040 Balloon 9. 13 Temperature Transmitter FLYTEC TT34 The radio transmission unit TTT34 is operating with a 9-V battery. The temperature transmission is switched on automatically as soon as the differential temperature between the instrument and the envelope temperature (factory default value) is being recognized by the TT34 unit. . Switch on: Differential temperature of > 15ºC or abs. > 50ºC Switch off: Differential temperature of < 15ºC and abs.

Batteries The 3040 unit is equipped with two independent 9V batteries, or two rechargeable 8,4 Volt NiMh accumulators (Option). 10.1 Battery replacement When it becomes necessary to change a battery, verify that the 3040 is switched off! Remove only one of the spent batteries and replace with a fresh one, then remove the other battery and replace it with a fresh one.
Operation manual Flytec 3040 Balloon 15 11.1 QNH- adjustment Pressure Senore aging can change altitude relation to QNH. A recalibration can be made in the Option-Modes; however, the correction values for these functions should only be altered for good reason (i.e. you are sure that the displayed values are inaccurate). For calibration intruction see Appendix. 11.
