The Altitude Motor Switch (AMS) is a versatile device suitable for several competition categories where altitude or motor run time needs to be limited. It can also be used as a standalone telemetry variometer. The sensor is typically connected between the receiver's throttle channel and the corresponding signal input of the electronic speed controller.
The AMS is officially FAI certified for the F5J class!
