10 Installation

Connect the static port to a suitable static air pressure line. If you have a slow aircraft or an aircraft were the internal cabin
pressure does not change during flight and is equivalent to the outside air pressure you may find that it is not required to
connect a static port.
For installations in typical ultralight aircraft pods, be aware of possible pressure changes inside the pod during flight
caused by ram air or suction effects. This may lead to a false indication of altitude. Often these effects are dependent on
the current angle of attack of the airflow around your pod. You will need to install a suitable static port in these cases.
The ALT-5 static pressure port takes 4mm ID tubing. Use hose clamps to fasten the hose onto the ALT-5 static port.

10.1 Connection Diagram

The use of an external 1A fuse is recommended. Connect the supply terminals to your aircrafts power supply. The ALT-5
can be used on both 12V and 24V without the use of any pre-regulators. Ensure that the supply voltage will not drop
below 8V during operation as this may result in incorrect readings.
