Housing
The lower face of the polycarbonate housing has two threaded
screw holes, so that PowerFLARM may be easily secured using
two M4 screws (max. 10 mm long). The thread matches those of
most standard fixtures. The PowerFLARM must be fitted to a flat
surface and the housing not subjected to any mechanical stress.
Several types of fixture are available.
The housing can also be secured using DualLock® industrial
hook and loop tape, which can be secured and released several
times. Users should note that the adhesive used on DualLock® is
exceptionally strong and will not easily release. The adhesive
tape should not cover the battery compartment lid, but should be
applied elsewhere on the housing.
The housing is not air or watertight and users should avoid the
ingress of solid particles and liquids. Should the unit get moist, it
must be completely dried prior to further use. If the unit
becomes wet, it may be permanently damaged and rendered
unusable; no guarantee claim will be accepted for any unit
damaged by moisture. Should the unit be suddenly cooled this
may result in the formation of condensation. The housing may
only be cleaned using a slightly moist non-abrasive cloth without
a chemical cleaning agent. The housing does not resist scratches
or abrasion.
The plastic housing is black to reduce glare and has been tested
in the temperature range -10 °C to +60°C. Care should be taken
to avoid over-heating due to direct or indirect sunshine, in
particular because the housing can become deformed at
temperatures above +84 °C without any mechanical tension, and
also at lower temperatures. The unit must not be locally over-
heated by exposure to focused sunrays, and care is required
when cockpit doors or canopies have been opened (risk of fire to
due lens effect).
