Electronic Timer T10

This electronic timer is intended for high performance free flight gliders class F1A. The main purpose is to control stabilizer, rudder and wing in all phases from towing to launch, glide and finally DT. The design of the timer is very modular. It enables to connect external modules like Altimeter or Radio Module. All values and text user interface are stored in the timer memory. So, the firmware change in the timer doesn't require firmware change in programing console Setuper 2.

General Features

  • Controls 4 servos (stabilizer, rudder, wing, hook latch).
  • Works with both mechanical and electronic (strain gauge) tow hook.
  • Adjustable by programming console Setuper 2 or wirelessly by Radio Trimmer.
  • Servos are moving while the timer is being adjusted by Setuper.
  • Up to 8 data sets for different conditions stored in the timer.
  • Actual battery voltage can be read by Setuper.
  • Data Logger records maximal tension and altimeter heights from last flights.
  • Rotary DT Switch for quick selection of DT flight time.
  • Output for buzzer driven by a voltage doubler (supply voltage is doubled for higher volume).
  • Output for LED blinker.
  • Two UART links - 1st for Setuper, 2nd for Altimeter and Radio Module.
  • Two MOSFET transistors for servo power cut off.
