The score box is the control center and display unit for the AMD, a microprocessor scans each pad at a rate of 1,000 times per second, our unique operation mode switch lets you select any one of the 4 modes; Training Mode, Individual mode, 4 person team or 5 person team. The score box has an 8 or 12 seconds automatic reset feature, a multi-function hand control unit is included, this hand control allows the event judge to clear a score for another competitor to land or to enter a score of 16cm if the competitor is not on the target. The power supply is provided by a 12v long life battery. We supply 2 batteries with each system and a 110/230V worldwide battery charging system. Our system has it's own solar charging unit with a dedicated voltage regulator which constantly supplies charging power to the battery system. This combination of solar power and our superb battery will never let you down. The International AMD system comes with the integrated Wind Check anemometer / wind vane and mast kit, 3x 35cm score pads and 1x 1.2m rear foot strike area, Wind sock and mast kit and Wind streamer, Solar charging system, 2x 12v Batteries and charging unit, Custom built airline transit case. All cables included. This complete system including the Texair inflatable tuffet and fan unit is available as a rental package. See Prices and Terms for more details. Why our "Wind Check" system is the best. |

We use a cup anemometer because it is the meteorological industry standard, it is easy to calibrate and as a competitor you can see it working, "competitor validation" is an important feature, one that we acknowledge and respect. Specifications · Conical cups measuring 51
mm (2 inches in diameter) Our anemometers are calibration tested at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Wright Brothers wind tunnel http://web.mit.edu/aeroastro/labs/wbwt/index.html
The wind direction vane is the industry standard used worldwide. The thermoplastic and stainless steel components resist corrosion and contribute to a high strength-to-weight ratio. The vane is directly connected to a precision conductive potentiometer located in the main body. An analog voltage output directly proportional to the wind direction is produced when a constant DC excitation voltage is applied to the potentiometer.

Our 7m mast allows the anemometer to record accurate and reliable measurements. Measuring the wind conditions at 7m a.g.l. gives accurate information about wind conditions affecting the competitor while on final approach and over the tuffet.
The 7m mast with it's precision accuracy wind sock gives an accurate reading when ground winds are more than +2m/s.
When the ground wind speeds are below 2m/sec our 5m long Wind Streamer at 8m agl gives a true indication of wind direction.
Our practical and cost effective systems meet F.A.I. specifications, are easy to view from the air and the target area, our wind indicators give an accurate and reliable wind direction at all times.
We pay attention to details so that you get the best quality and most cost effective equipment available.
Our mast system is designed to be easy to assemble and simple to use.
