2.3. 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
Flarm is decoded, device will make audible sound. Generated sound depends on message
severity (Alarm type).
Flarm Speaker also features phono output with 3.5mm mono jack located in the top center at
the back. Phono output is always enabled.
Speaker can be turned off only when phono jack is plugged in and slide switch is at AUTO
position. User can also choose to override phono jack detection with slide switch at SPK.ON
position thus force speaker to be permanently enabled.
There are three volume adjustments available with push button on the back of the device.
Communication statuses are also visible with three LEDs on the back.

3. Wiring
3.1. 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.
3.2. Connection diagram
