Description
Flarm Speaker is an audio warning device for Flarm traffic messages. This device is designed to be used with Flarm device connected with RJ12 cable. Flarm Speaker needs external power supply (9-36V) and communication connection with Flarm device. When alert message from

12V Power Supply
As Flarm Speaker consumes around 3W at 12V (when speaker active), there might be difficulties with power supply especially when using 3.3V power supply.
For that purpose LXNAV has developed an adapter cable (FV12_PWR) which takes external
12V and enables it when there is 3.3V power from source device.
