PowerFLARM Device Manual for FW v2.00
7
metric M4 screws (max. 10 mm long). The device must be fitted to
a flat surface and the housing not subjected to any mechanical
stress. Several types of adapter fixtures are available.
The housing can also be secured using 3M DualLock industrial
fasteners, which can be secured and released several times. Users
should note that the adhesive used on 3M DualLock is
exceptionally strong and may 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 device get moist,
it must be completely dried prior to further use. If the device
becomes wet, it may be permanently damaged and rendered
unusable; no guarantee claim will be accepted for any device
damaged by moisture. Should the device be suddenly cooled this
may result in the formation of internal 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 with mechanical
tensions also at lower temperatures. The device 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). High temperatures significantly reduce
battery runtime when rechargeable batteries are used.
