1090 MHz: For receiving SSR transponder and ADS-B 1090ES signals. The
internal antenna supplied with the device has a BLUE marking. This antenna
is optional; however, without it, no traffic will be received on 1090 MHz.
GPS antenna: Must be connected for operation.
RJ45 (Data Port #1) and D-sub DE-9 (Data Port #2): For connecting up to
two independent
FLARM Compatible
displays and power. Power must only be
supplied on one of the connectors.

General Advice
Before connecting the cables for the first time, check all connectors with a
continuity tester. Pay special attention to the power supply pins.
Connecting power to an incorrect pin will damage the circuit
board, make the device unusable, and void any warranty.
Cables must not be cracked, excessively bent, or installed under tension. Adequate
space must be left for the cable connectors.
2.4.3
Circuit Breaker
Connect Fusion (and the
FLARM Compatible
display) via a combined 3 A circuit
breaker/switch or separate circuit breaker and switch. The Fusion circuit breaker
must be separate from other circuit breakers of essential systems.
In flight, the pilots must be able to isolate FLARM from the aircraft's electrical
system without interrupting the power supply to other essential avionics.
2.4.4
Power Supply
Supply voltage: 12 to 32 V DC. Typical current drain is 180 mA @ 12 V, less for
higher voltages, more if external components are supplied by Fusion.
Connect power either through the D-sub (pin 7) or the RJ45 connector (pin 7 and
8). Do not provide power to both.
