2) Positioning and mounting of the Solar
The positioning of the Solar directly influences the quality and stability of the measurements. It is important to place it in an appropriate area to ensure optimal operation.
Recommended position
It is recommended to position the Solar in an area sheltered from relative wind, while remaining exposed to ambient air. Recommended locations include:
on a cockpit,
on a harness shoulder strap,
or in any stable area with low exposure to direct airflow.
These positions allow for stable and accurate pressure measurement.
Positions to avoid
Avoid positioning the Solar in the following locations:
on a helmet,
or in an area exposed to variable relative wind.
Head movements or direct exposure to airflow can cause local airflow variations and affect measurement accuracy.
Use with a cocoon harness
The Solar can be used with a cocoon harness, provided it is not placed in a completely enclosed or airtight area. A minimum level of air circulation is required to ensure correct ambient pressure measurement.
Mounting with the supplied adhesive velcro
An adhesive velcro is supplied with the Solar to allow simple mounting on your equipment. Attach one part of the velcro to the Solar and the other to the chosen support (cockpit, harness, etc.), on a clean and dry surface. This solution provides stable mounting while allowing the instrument to be easily removed.
Securing with the lanyard
The Solar features a mounting hole on its casing, allowing a safety lanyard to be attached. It is recommended to use a lanyard to secure the instrument and prevent any loss during flight.
