Neptune Tactical MA-15 AUDIBLE
For the development of the tactical Neptune MA-12 Altimeter the US special forces had a clear vision for tactical jumping: Small housing on the wrist with large numbers, no logistics for batteries/filters/maintenance and an easy to use product so the operator can focus on their main job. Due to the nature of tactical jumping the Altimeter/Audible needs to be settable in a pressurized aircraft. The MA-15 A has all of the features the MA-12 has plus 3 audible Alarms.
The result was an Altimeter which is widely used by tactical units worldwide. Drop tested from 6 feet (1.2 m) with 1000+G, waterproof up to 6 feet for one hour, built from machined aircraft aluminum.
Features:
- Unobtrusive footprint – significantly smaller than the majority of military altimeters
- Robust machined aluminum case
- Menu driven. Safe time! No need to read manuals again and again.
- Protected raised buttons with sensory enhancements for tactile dexterity wearing thick gloves
- USB rechargeable (lasts 2-6 weeks and if charged correctly works 10 years/500 charging cycles)
- Waterproof up to 6 feet for one hour
- Highly accurate electronic pressure sensor with a 40,000 FT range
- Backlit digital LCD display with large numbers
- *Simple* Zero Mode, Standard Offset Mode, two Absolute Offset Modes (programmable in-flight) with QNH or QFE
- Canopy alarms
- Last jump logging
- ECO – friendly and safe 100 Dollar on batteries over 10 years
- No batteries/filters/maintenance needed!
- Works in pressurized aircraft
- Auto Zero has been reintroduced to the MA-15A
- In normal use the MA-15A will auto zero in the same manner as the Atlas
- When DZ altitude (MSL) is set, auto zero is disabled
- Switchable from inHg and mBar
- 3 Audible freefall alarms, 3 canopy alarms
This gives users the best of both worlds, autozero simplicity for training jumps and the ability to set absolute pressure and altitude of a remote DZ.
