General Advice On Installation; Installation - FLARM PowerFLARM Core Installation Manual

However, ADS-B does not provide sufficiently precise data to warn
about glider traffic with its frequent altitude changes and steep
turns.
To ensure best alert quality, PowerFLARM therefore does not use
ADS-B data to compute alerts for glider targets. Instead, it will ex-
clusively rely on the target's much more precise FLARM data.
This requires that all gliders which are equipped with FLARM and
ADS-B transponders to correctly configure their ADS-B out emitter
category to glider. Please refer to your transponder's manual in
order to make that configuration. To ensure reliable alerts, it is
important that gliders equipped with ADS-B transponders also car-
ry a compatible FLARM or PowerFLARM device and that both de-
vices are configured to the same ICAO address.
Please contact your local dealer if you're experiencing difficulties
with the above recommendations your flying area.

Core must not obstruct the pilot in his operation of the aircraft (in-
cluding emergencies); in particular, at all times it must not obstruct
his view of the airspace, even in the event of serious vibration or
acceleration. Core is not suitable for use in conjunction with night
vision equipment, for night flying, or in pressurized cabins.
Only one single FLARM-compatible system may be installed per
aircraft.
Core should be located at least 1ft away from the magnetic compass.
