Maximum Altitude Altimeter with Dual Deployment™
ALTS2 - Price: $89.00 - Includes CAB5/6-24 Interconnect Cable and GP-23A Battery. ALTS2-50K - Price: $119.00 - Includes CAB5/6-24 Interconnect Cable and GP-23A Battery. The ALTS2 Altimeter with Dual-Deployment™ is a maximum altitude altimeter that precisely measures and reports the maximum above-ground altitude value obtained during a rocket’s flight. The ALTS2 also has two altitude controlled deployment outputs that are typically used to fire deployment charges, based on altitude. The first charge fires when the rocket reaches its maximum altitude (apogee), and the second charge fires when the rocket descends to 1200 feet or 600 feet or 300 feet above ground (3 choices, user selectable) for both the ALTS2 standard version and the ALTS2-50K extended version. One common usage is to deploy a main parachute at apogee by using only the first output. However, the most typical usage is to deploy a drogue chute or streamer first, then to deploy a main parachute when the rocket descends to 1200 or 600 or 300 feet above ground (Dual Deployment™), in order to avoid significant drifting due to wind. The ALTS2 precisely captures the highest altitude obtained during a flight to a maximum of 15,000 feet above sea level for the standard version (50,000 feet above sea level for the ALTS2-50K extended version). The maximum value obtained above the local ground-zero altitude is precisely measured and reported in one-foot increments (one-foot resolution).

Shorting Jumpers are used to connect two connecter pins together in order to turn on the power for some of the Adept devices. Shorting Jumpers are also used on some devices to program certain values or functions. One jumper is used on the ALTS2 to program the value for the Second Output Function, the output that fires the Deployment Charge for the Main Parachute.

Seal holes and gaps in bulkheads and such with epoxy or removable putty. Tac'N Stik Removable
and Reusable Putty The perfect mate for the ALTS2 or ALTS2-50K when used in a dual redundancy backup system is the DDCS2. The ALTS2 or ALTS2-50K would function as the primary device to measure altitude and to control Dual Deployment™. The DDCS2 would function as the redundant backup device to also control Dual Deployment™.
