Canopy Flash Standalone

SOTECC Canopy Flasher Connect - Detailed Product Description

SOTECC Canopy Flasher Connect is a highly sophisticated safety system designed to enhance the visibility and safety of gliders. This innovative product offers a range of features and benefits essential for pilots and various types of gliders.

Key Features:

1. High Visibility:
   - Equipped with six red CREE® LEDs, optimized for maximum visibility even in bright sunlight. The red color is ideal as it is quickly perceived by the human eye and contrasts well with white gliders.
2. Individual Configuration:
   - Using the included "SOTECC Configurator," you can easily set parameters like flash frequency, alarm threshold, and visibility of functional LEDs. This allows customization for different needs, such as training clubs or long flights.
3. Automatic Operation:
   - The system automatically detects the glider's movement and switches to an operational mode with low power consumption. After landing, the device automatically turns off. This automatic mode reduces pilot workload and minimizes the chance of errors.
4. Safety and Reliability:
   - Designed not to obstruct emergency canopy jettison with a newly developed canopy contact that ensures a secure connection without cabling. This is especially important for gliders with clamshell canopies.

Technical Specifications:

• Dimensions: 70x20x60 mm
• Weight: Approx. 90 g
• Power Consumption: 100 mA (at low flash frequency without warning at 13 V)

Compatibility:

The Canopy Flasher is compatible with a wide range of gliders from various manufacturers, including Schempp-Hirth, Glasflügel, Alexander Schleicher, HPH, Rolladen Schneider, Jonker Sailplanes, Binder, DG, Grob, Centrair, SZD, AMS, Antares, Pipistrel, Stemme, and LAK.

Benefits for Pilots:

• Increased Safety: Improves the chances of timely spotting other aircraft, crucial in situations without collision warning devices like FLARM®.
• Simple and Clean Design: Modern appearance and easy integration into the cockpit without complex cabling.
• Flexibility: Customizable for different types of aircraft and flight conditions.

The Canopy Flasher Connect from SOTECC represents a blend of advanced technology, ease of use, and maximum safety, making it an invaluable addition for any glider pilot.
