3.1.2 Switch description
3.1.3 Unit operation
The FlarmACL is powered via an external power connection (Screw terminal pin labelled
Power). Its own current draw is appr. 30 mA. The device listens to any Flarm traffic (fixed
baudrate of 19200 – newer versions have an automatic baudrate detection) on any of the
three RJ45 connectors and switches on the connected strobe light via an internal solid-state
switch (Screw terminal pin labelled LED).
RJ45 connectors also act as a Flarm splitter device.
Control is done via the three-position switch with an integrated LED indicator:
•Top position: Output is switched ON, LED indicator is always ON and green
•Middle position: Output is switched OFF and disabled, LED indicator always
OFF
•Bottom position: Output is switched ON, the LED indicator is ON only when an
urgent alarm is detected, and red when this happens. If no alarm is issued
for 3 seconds the output is switched OFF.
