Hi,

Also, the Winter web site does not list that model number.http://www.winter-instruments.de/eng...meter/v_tabell...

Neither does their catalog.http://www.winter-instruments.de/dat...nstruments.pdf

It must be an out of production model number, or an incorrectly written down
number.

Hi,

According to the data on my web site, there is no such thing as a 5493.
http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/winter/varios.htm

But my web site was created using a recent catalog which may not have been
100% complete.

Yes, the flask size is critical.

Is there a model number on the unit. *That may help nail down whether it
is a standard, or sensitive, or logarithmic unit.

Thanks for the responses. The number is 05493 and is printed on the
face of the unit. This must be an out of production unit. It says
1,8 Ltr on the back which I suppose means 1.8 liter. I was hoping it
took less. Looking at Winter's cataloge it seems the 1.8 liter units
are not the most common. That is quite a bit of capacity for such a
small instrument (57mm)! This vario looks just like a 05483. Maybe
the company will get back to me on Monday as to just exactly what the
specs are on this unit.
