INSTALLATION and OPERATING MANUAL FLARM-NAV Display and Navigation System

Version 1.13 Page 6 of 25 January 2012

The ABS polycarbonate plastic housing is black to minimise glare and has been tested at temperatures from

-10 to +60 °C. Efforts should be made to prevent exposure to excessive direct or indirect solar heating. Even

if not subject to mechanical stress, the housing may be deformed at temperatures upwards of +84 °C, and

can also be deformed at lower temperatures in the presence of mechanical stress. The unit should not be

exposed to strong locally focused solar radiation, therefore care should be taken when the cockpit canopy is

left open.

Protruding rearwards are four 5/32” screw posts approximately 8mm long. It is important that when securing

the supplied cylinder nuts that you do not over tension them, a light firm hand pressure is sufficient. The two

communication ports (RJ45 sockets) are on the rear of the device.

The front LCD screen is glass and if cleaning is needed an alcohol based cleaner is recommended as well

as a soft cloth. Do not press hard against the screen as it may crack. Cracked screens will need replacing

and the unit will need to be returned for service.

Panel mounting

When drilling the holes please make sure the unit will not interfere with

adjacent instruments. Because the front covers the hole if there are small

drilling errors the unit will cover these up but try and avoid excessive over

sizing of the main hole.

Connectors

The rear of the display has two RJ45 8 pin

connectors. Port A is FLARM Data In and

receives the primary FLARM data. The second

port, Port B, is data out for connection to a

second display, for connection to a data logger,

or to a glide computer.

FLARM-NAV functions as a pass-through device,

such that data received at Port A is passed to

Port B and vice versa.

Note. You can supply power to either port as they are identical with respect to power and ground, and there

is no risk of damaging the unit.
