The new Foresight Avionics CanopyFlasher

We are pleased to be able to offer you a compact canopy flasher with a modern design thanks to our collaboration with ForeSightAvionics.

This is available in both a plastic and a higher-quality CNC aluminum version and has the following features:

  
Flarm connection
If the canopy flasher is connected to a Flarm, the flashing frequency increases when approaching another aircraft equipped with Flarm to increase your own visibility.
Simple plug'n'play connection to a Flarm via a cable supplied with RJ45/12 connectors.​​​​​​
  
Available in 2 colors
-green (brightness 10500 lumens)
-red (brightness 6000 lumens)

  
Modern web interface 
The integrated web interface makes it possible to easily set the flashing frequency, the panic mode time and the flash baud rate using the web browser of a smartphone/tablet or PC and to conveniently carry out software updates. Even the flashing frequency can be tested using an integrated simulation. The power consumption is also displayed in relation to the standard settings. The possibility of wireless communication means that the speed camera could possibly be integrated into the XCSoar structure.
 
  
low power consumption
only 300mAh at full brightness setting, allowing operation even during longer flights
  
2 brightness levels
  
-High: maximum brightness
  
-Low: 50% brightness (energy saving mode)
  
Panic butto
"Panic" mode, triggered by a button on the I-board; increases the flashing frequency and intensity by a period of time set by the user.
This ensures you immediate visibility even in traffic situations with "non FLARM equipped" road users!
We will work on integrating the triggering of the "Panic Mode" into the existing structure of our XCRemote stick remote control!
  
Dual mode operation
​​​​​​​You can choose between continuous operation and flight operation mode. In the latter, operation starts automatically at a speed of 40 km/h and ends 10 seconds after the aircraft has come to a standstill.
  
simple and safe installation thanks to safety contacts for canopies that open to the side and to the front.
​​​​​​​ForeSight Avionics has found a perfect solution for both versions, which allows safe and trouble-free operation and does not hinder the emergency canopy release in the event of an emergency. For example, the canopy contact for side opening can be individually adapted to the respective installation situation on multiple axes.
  
Connect Module X
  
​​​​​​​The lightweight and high-quality aluminum Connect Module ensures simple Plug'n'Play installation.
