Digital Altimeter
Product Code : JA-ELA-5298
The Digital Altimeter (SKU JA-ELA-5298) is a compact 6-in-1 unit, supplied by JaincoLab, that shows height, air pressure, direction, temperature, a weather forecast, and time and date. It measures altitude from -700 m to 9000 m with 1 m resolution, pressure from 300 to 1100 hPa, and temperature from -20 to 60 °C, and has a 360 degree compass. Geography and environmental science groups use it on field trips to link altitude, pressure and weather.
Specifications
The altimeter reads altitude from -700 m to 9000 m (-2296 ft to 29500 ft) at 1 m or 3 ft resolution, pressure from 300 to 1100 hPa at 0.1 hPa, and temperature from -20 to 60 °C at 1 degree, with the further functions listed below.

Applications of the handheld digital altimeter
The handheld digital altimeter is used on field trips to record altitude, air pressure and temperature at each stop, so students can see how pressure and temperature fall with height and relate readings to weather changes.
- Geography field trips and altitude profiles
- Air pressure and altitude lessons
