PowerFLARM Manual Version 1.0
For updates, configuration and flight data evaluation it is helpful
if the unit is installed such that the power and data connectors
and the microSD-reader are easily accessible or reachable with
an extension cable. The PowerFLARM serial number must be
known for software updates.
It is advisable that the PowerFLARM is so fitted to the aircraft
that the turn-button cannot be inadvertently pressed during
entry to or egress from the aircraft. Should the PowerFLARM or
any associated components be fitted to a part of the aircraft that
will be jettisoned in an emergency, suitable break points should
be incorporated to prevent any interference with the jettison
sequence.
Cables must not be folded or placed under tension. Adequate
space must be left for the cable connectors. Cables for power
supply, data, and external units must be shortened as necessary:
to prevent the occurrence of inductive effects they may not be
coiled. Only a single PowerFLARM may be installed in each
aircraft.
The PowerFLARM and any associated aerials should be located
as far away as possible -- at least 25 cm -- away from any other
GPS aerial and the magnetic compass.
After installation, an inspection must be made to ensure that the
PowerFLARM unit does not interfere with any mechanical,
electrical, electronic (radio) or magnetic (e.g. compass) system,
and this fact must be recorded in the aircraft documents. In
addition, the aircraft documents must bear a record of the
PowerFLARM serial number and Software Version Number. If
employed in a fixed installation, the Means of Compliance must
be recorded in the aircraft documentation, and an AFM
Supplement is to be carried on board the aircraft.
