PowerFLARM Core Manual v.150 International
Configuration
Prior to first use, PowerFLARM Core must be configured correctly.
Failure to configure or a false configuration may lead to failure
to alert, operate or cause nuisance alarms!
To configure your Core:
• Use the online Configurator tool to generate a file FLARM-
CFG.TXT: http://flarm.com/support/tools-software/
• Copy this file to the top directory of your USB stick.
To update many devices using one USB stick, name each
configuration file as follows: CF<Product Code><5 last dig-
its of Serial Number>.txt, where Product Code is the 6
th
let-
ter from Part Number ( C, D, P, or Q ), which you can find on
device sticker. Example: Part Number FLAPFD11E, Serial
Number 002217, Configuration file name CFD02217.txt
• Connect the stick to the Core and power on the system.
• Wait until the system has completed the startup sequence.
The Status LED will issue a long GREEN flash to acknowledge the
presence of the FLARMCFG.TXT file and a short GREEN flash for
each configuration line executed. RED flashes indicate an error,
please verify your FLARMCFG.TXT file in that case.
Please use FAT formatted USB 2.0 sticks; see the USB section for
details.
The configuration is stored permanently in Core internal memory.
During normal operation, the USB stick should be removed from the
Core.
All configurations can also be made via the RS232 interfaces of the
Core. Please refer to your display or flight computer’s documenta-
tion for details.
