Displays One Foot Increments, Density Altitude, More

Pilots of homebuilt, LSA, and ultralight aircraft who have been looking for a digital altimeter have a new option from Belite Electronics, which has long been in innovator in digital instruments for the sector.

Belite's new digital altimeter brings advanced capabilities into a very small footprint. The unit is designed to show altitude on a large, easy to read digital LCD display, and has many other functions which add to its versatility.

Belite says the unit has the following features and benefits:

  • High resolution: Current altitude is displayed in increments of one foot.

  • Pressure altitude: Unit shows pressure altitude.
  • Settable local altimeter: Allows adjustment for local pressure.
  • Cabin temperature: Displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
  • Absolute pressure:  Unit displays pressure, either in inches or pascals.
  • Voltage:  Unit displays incoming power voltage level.
  • Voltage alarm:  The user may set a voltage alarm. 
  • Results in English or Metric units:  Settable by user.
  • Cruising alarm:  Users may enable a VFR cruising alarm, which alerts the user when straying from VFR altitudes.  (For example, 5500 ft +/- 100 ft).  Alarm causes bright LED to flash.
  • Ultralow power consumption: Operating power consumption is around 1 milliamp.  Standby power consumption is about 200 microamperes.
  • Ultralight weight: 40 grams including electrical connector.
  • Standard size:  May be mounted in a standard 2.25” instrument cutout.
  • Optional mounting: Directly mounts in flat panel for even tighter and lighter panel configurations.
