2.5 Temperature
The FLYTEC 6030 GPS is provided with a temperature sensor for the temperature compensation
of pressure sensors, as well as for the automatic display contrast control. Temperature reading is
possible in degree Centigrade or Fahrenheit. Main Setup Menu

Units.
Notice: the temperature sensor measures the internal circuit board temperature, but in no way
the outside air temperature! The inside temperature of the casing may be higher or lower than the
ambient air temperature, especially when the instrument is exposed to direct sunlight.
2.6 Envelope Temperature
The envelope temperature is being transmitted by radio to the radio transmission unit TT34
The TT34 radio transmission unit is being switched on automatically by an active envelope
temperature, and is being switched off automatically if the envelope is not being used any more.
The temperature sensor transmits its data in a cycle of four seconds. During a balloon event where
you find many balloons close to each other the TT34 does not interferes with each other. In order
to avoid interferences, each TT34 has an individual identity number (ID), which is being transmitted
with the radio protocol. The 6040 instruments only accepts the radio dates, which are identical with
the ID-number registrated in the 6040 instrument.
For setting the ID-number go to the Main Setup Menu
⇒
Instr. Settings
⇒
TT34 device number.
Note: A received signal with an invalid ID-number is being indicated as „ID“in the display field
envelope temperature
Envelope Temperature Display: Temperature is being displayed as soon as the radio
transmission unit TT34 starts transmitting valid datas. In case no datas are being received a
broken line is being displayed in the display field. If there is no valid signal received for more than 2
min. an acoustic signal is also activated.
Tip: The quality of the signal is being displayed in
the main-display screen as well as in the windlayer-
display screen..
2.6.1.1 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 OK key for 30 seconds the alarm can be switched off. The alarm re
sounds until the balloon is out of the alarm level bench again.
By pressing the Temp((.)) key for a long time, the
temperature alarm function is activated
By pressing an arrow key for a short time the alarm
level can be adjusted by one temperature unit steps.
While pressing this key continuously, the displayed value
is changing until the pressure on this key is released.
The temperature alarm can be set between 40 °C
(104° F) an the maximum envelope temp which is set by
the envelope manufacturer
