Fusion – power box – the heart of the FuselageFlasher

Nexus’ little brother, Fusion, is the heart for the control of the FuselageFlasher.

A compact, sturdy aluminium enclosure fits everything FuselageFlasher requires: power supply, data processing and overheat protection. Mount it at your preferred location.

Single-FuselageFlasher Fusion systems are available in three different variants, suitable for every installation:

Fusion – MUST be connected to Nexus – add a CanopyFlasher / Nexus system separately. Can be connected with Flarm only via Nexus.
(This is the standard option when ordering a complete CanopyFlasher + single FuselageFlasher system).

Fusion LITE – stand-alone version, NOT connectable to Flarm or Nexus. Flashes continuously with 3-flashes per 1,5 second.

Fusion FLARM – connectable to Flarm (1x RJ12 IGC port), NOT connectable to Nexus/CanopyFlasher. Switchable enhanced AUTO- or Always-ON logic.

For double-FuselageFlasher systems, see Fusion DUO combo sets here.

Red or white LEDs? Your choice…

Let’s explain the pros and cons:

Red:

+ Better visibility of a white glider against a grey/white background. This is the most dangerous situation. Red clearly stands out.

+ Red means danger.

– Slightly less brightness (±7500 lumen) than white LEDs.

White:

+ Slightly better brightness (±8500 lumen) compared to red LEDs.

+ Better visibility against a brown/green background.

– Reduced visibility of a white glider against a grey/white background (in clouds, haziness, snowy terrain, etc).

Conclusion:

We recommend RED for bottom mounted FuselageFlashers.

We recommend WHITE for top mounted FuselageFlashers.
