Display
The “External Display for FLARM – Version V3+M” is a step-by-step display unit and operator control module
for FLARM
TM
; functions and operations are generally identical with the original.
Due to the frame size of the step-by-step display, the V3+ can be installed in small and/or full instrument
panels – by narrower panels the main device, the FLARM
TM
can be installed hidden in the fuselage.
The external display has no own FLARM
TM
functions and cannot replace the main device. For further
information regarding the principles of function, range and norms of main device, please consult the original
FLARM
TM
documentation.
Operator control and indication units
o [Mode] button

o 12 circular situated status-LED’s (red/yellow)
o 4 LED’s for relative height indication (red/yellow)
o 2-digit distance display (red)
o brightness sensor (centered in airplane symbol)
o buzzer for acoustic alarms (underside)
Audio output
[Mode] button
The operating of all functions occurs simply with the “mode”-button. During construction significant
importance was given to tactile feedback and the possibility to operate the display while also wearing gloves
without restrictions.
Status-LED’s
4 status-LED’s (green) situated vertically indicate operating status of FLARM
TM
.
Direction and height indicators
12 circular-placed LED’s for the direction and 4 LED’s for the traffic height indication.
The indication appears as relative direction indication which means from the point of pilot/flight direction and
detects an approaching threat rapidly.
Using the 2-colour display the objects can also be recorded automatically: safe objects are shown as yellow
(Nearest-Mode). If there is a nearby threat on the basis of calculation there will be an indication in .red. in
addition to an acoustic alarm.
Distance indicator
In order to locate the indicated objects quicker the distance indicator can be very helpful. The indicating range
extends from 0.1 to 99 and the values > 9.9 may occur only in connection with ADSB transponder receivers.
The display can be configured with the indicator in KM (kilometers) or NM (naval miles); the adjusted
measurement module is not indicated constantly but only shown as a symbol for a short time when switching
unit on.
Brightness sensor
The indicator is designed to be effective even in difficult conditions, e.g. direct sunlight on the display,
adequate readability of the indicator is guaranteed.
To ensure that blindness by diffuse light does not occur, the brightness of the display can be modified. Along
with the fixed level of brightness, adjustments are automatically made for different degrees of light – the
specific brightness sensor is centered in the airplane symbol.
