Number of LEDs
CanopyFlasher: 6 CREE LEDs, red or white.
FuselageFlasher: 16 CREE LEDs, red or white.
Luminous Flux
CanopyFlasher: ±3000 (red) – ±3400 (white).
FuselageFlasher: ±7500 (red) – ±8500 (white).
Operating modes
ON-mode: Always flashing – additional Flarm input enhances flashing sequence.
AUTO-mode: Only flashing when Flarm traffic is nearby (<3km, or causes a traffic warning).
Standby-mode: Only active on ground as a temperature protection logic.
Flashing sequence
ON-mode: 2 flashes per second continuously.
Flarm traffic received (no alarm, <3km, AUTO-mode): 2 flashes per second.
Flarm warning level 1 (impact in 13 – 18 seconds): 2 flashes per second.
Flarm warning level 2 (impact in 9 – 12 seconds): 3 flashes per second.
Flarm warning level 3 (impact in 0 – 8 seconds): 4 flashes per second.
Voltage input
Nexus + CanopyFlasher: 10 – 20V DC.
Fusion + FuselageFlasher – red LEDs: 12 – 20V DC.
Fusion + FuselageFlasher – white LEDs: 13 – 20V DC (requires powerful NMC batteries).
Power consumption
Nexus + CanopyFlasher only: 40mA standby, ±300mA flashing (measurable 100 millisecond pulse).
Nexus + CanopyFlasher + Fusion + FuselageFlasher: 55mA standby, ±300 – 750mA* flashing (measurable 100 millisecond pulse).
Nexus + CanopyFlasher + 2x Fusion + 2x FuselageFlasher: 60mA standby, ±300 – 1500mA flashing (measurable 100 millisecond pulse).
Nexus + Fusion + FuselageFlasher only: 50mA standby, ±750mA flashing (measurable 100 millisecond pulse).
Nexus + 2x Fusion +2x FuselageFlasher: 55mA standby, ±1500mA flashing (measurable 100 millisecond pulse).
*The CanopyFlasher and FuselageFlasher never flash at the same time. They each alternate in each half-second, meaning only 1 flasher is draining power at the same time, resulting in lower peak currents.
Temperature protection
CanopyFlasher: yes, built in temperature sensor and heatsinks built-in.
Nexus: yes, temperature sensor built-in the LED driver.
FuselageFlasher: limited temperature protection with logic, airflow cooled.
Fusion: yes, temperature sensor built-in the LED drivers.
Environmental limitations
Operating temperatures: -30 – 60ºC.
Humidty: 0 – 95%. FuselageFlasher is waterproof. Please refer to the specific installation instructions in the manual more details.
Installation outlay
Nexus + CanopyFlasher: 45 – 120 minutes.
Fusion + FuselageFlasher: 45 – 90 minutes.
Flarm compatible
