SteFly Canopy Flasher
SteFly Canopy Flasher
General Description
SteFly Canopy Flasher - was designed to improve the visual awareness of your glider by sending out light flashes from 10 state-of-the-art, green, high-intensity LEDs.
Includes the Control box for automatic flash activation in flight and increase of flash intensity according to FLARM® collision warning data; with integrated USB charger 5 V / 2 A for mobile devices, Bluetooth® (can send FLARM® and position data to a mobile device) and WLAN (for updates).
On/off switch with integrated 4 A fuse and labeling panel.
All required cables (vehicle power supply connection to on-off switch / on-off switch to control box/control box to hood flasher).

In The Box
- SteFly Canopy Flasher with green LEDs and black aluminum / SLS-printed housing
- Control Box for automatic flash activation in flight and increase of flash intensity according to FLARM® collision warning data; with integrated USB charger 5 V / 2 A for mobile devices, Bluetooth® (can send FLARM® and position data to a mobile device) and WLAN (for baud rate / updates)
- On/off switch with integrated 4 A fuse and labeling panel SteFly Canopy Flasher Manual Version 1.2 5
- All required cables (12 VDC power supply to on-off switch / on-off switch to control box / control box to canopy flasher)
- Masking foil template for precise alignment of the canopy flasher in the direction of flight
- Yaw string with clear adhesive pad and alignment template
- Evaluates Flarm signals in the environment
- Ensures that the canopy flasher only emits light signals when the aircraft is flying , preventing dazzling of starters or children on the ground looking directly into the flasher
- Intensity of the flash frequency increases when an aircraft in the area is on a collision course , which increases the perceptibility even more
- Integrated Bluetooth module enables FLARM ® data to be forwarded to mobile devices, so that FLARM ® targets are displayed on the smartphone, for example in XC-Soar
- In addition, WLAN enables the convenient setting of the baud rate and firmware updates
- Basic settings can be configured manually via 5 DIP switches if required
- In addition, WLAN enables the convenient setting of, for example, the transmission speed and firmware updates
- 2 A USB-A charging socket supplies external devices (e.g. smartphones) from the vehicle electrical system with 5 V / 2 A - the power bank can now remain on the ground
On-off switch
- The included switch is integrated into the instrument panel to "arm" the flasher
- It has an integrated 4 A fuse and screw terminals for the cables
- A black panel is also provided for the lettering
