The Control Box

The basket with the control box
A look in the basket shows the control box. Inside it there are: The receiver of the remote control unit, the magnetic valves controlling the gas supply of the burner, a servo to drop a marker or rope and the battery.
On the control panel you can see from left to right: upper row: a clock changeable to envelope temperature display, three switches and a battery voltage display. Lower row: a thermometer showing ambient temperature, a manometer indicating the gas pressure in the bottles and two press switches to operate the burner while putting up the balloon.
