On the main display unit side LX5FLARM is connected to a 5 pin rounded connector. On the
other end of the LX5FLARM cable is a 6 pin standard IGC RJ12 plug connector which is
plugged into the Flarm/Power Flarm port.
In case of a SIMPLE version, the Flarm should be connected to the GPS port.
External Flarm connection can be enabled at SETUP->HARDWARE->FLARM->PORT. Port
should be set to EXT.(PC).

10.3 Rear Seat Device

In two-seat gliders it is possible to install the rear seat device. The rear seat device looks
almost identical to the main display unit. However inside the device there is no GPS or
Flarm module. The rear seat device must be connected only to the main display unit via the
RS485 bus system. The basic idea of two-seat configuration is that both devices work
independently from each other with the possibility to exchange various data on user request
or automatically.

10.3.1 Data Exchange

Because the GPS and Flarm modules are not integrated in the rear seat device this data is
received from the main display unit through RS485 bus.
