Replacing PowerFLARM Core with PowerFLARM Fusion
The D-sub DE-9 and RJ45 connector pinouts on PowerFLARM Fusion are identical
with PowerFLARM Core. In contrast to PowerFLARM Core, Fusion is available in
only one version usable in all countries where FLARM operates. The FLARM A/B
and 1090 antenna connectors are identical to the A-version of PowerFLARM Core
but differ from the E-version. On Fusion, FLARM A/B are Reversed Polarity SMA
(RP-SMA) and the 1090 connector is SMA. In addition, the GPS antenna connector
is SMC on PowerFLARM Fusion compared to MCX on PowerFLARM Core. The
differences are presented in the table below.

4.4
Replacing Classic FLARM with PowerFLARM Fusion
The following considerations apply when replacing Classic FLARM or a Classic
FLARM-based device with PowerFLARM Fusion:
Fusion has a greater FLARM radio range. It also optionally supports a second
antenna (diversity) and reception of Mode-S and ADS-B signals, which
requires installation of additional antennas.
Fusion does not have a built-in display. As a primary means of collision
avoidance, Fusion must be connected to a
FLARM Compatible
display. See
