|
|
The TeleLaunch system can handle up to 99 banks with each bank
|
|
having up to 8 pads, for a total of 792 pads.
|
|
|
|
Each unit in the TeleLaunch system is water-resistant, but is not
|
|
intended to be directly immersed in water. Brief rain showers during
|
|
a launch should pose no problem, but it's recommended to cover units
|
|
or bring them inside when not in use or during extended periods of
|
|
bad weather.
|
|
|
|
TeleLCO uses an internal single-cell 2Ah Lithium Polymer battery,
|
|
which is sufficient for multiple days of typical operation. This
|
|
battery is charged over USB.
|
|
|
|
TeleFire uses an internal sealed lead-acid 12V battery, which is
|
|
charged by an external charger attached through the PowerPole
|
|
connector on the rear panel. These connectors were chosen because
|
|
they are an link:https://www.qsl.net/w2vtm/powerpole.html[ARES/RACES]
|
|
standard for 12 volt DC power distribution.
|
|
|
|
Pyro initiation uses the 12V sealed lead-acid battery. Current
|
|
to any pad can exceed 30A, and with typical igniters every pad on
|
|
a TeleFire can be successfully included in a drag race. The system
|
|
controls current flow to prevent damage, and has a self-resetting
|
|
circuit breaker for ultimate protection should something go badly
|
|
wrong.
|
|
|
|
TeleLaunch uses AES encryption with a shared key between each unit
|
|
in the system to ensure the integrity of safe launch operations.
|
|
|
|
The TeleLaunch system uses radio frequency communications in the
|
|
vicinity of 435 Mhz. A US amateur radio license or equivalent
|
|
authorization is required to legally use the system. The operating
|
|
frequency should be chosen to avoid conflict with other devices, or
|
|
put differently, nothing else should be operating on the same
|
|
frequency while TeleLaunch is in use.
