Runway Edge High Intensity Bidirectional Elevated Light

A.03.111e

Compliance with Standards

FAA : ICAO: In full compliance with FAA L -862 specifications AC 150/5345-46A. In full compliance with Annex 14, Vol.I, para. 5.3.3., for use as runway edge light in Category I, II and III conditions.

Uses
- High intensity edge lighting for runways up to 60 m width in cat. I, II and III. - Medium intensity runway edge and threshold/runway end lighting. The light features also an omnidirectional component for circling guidance.

Features
Of low-profile and small in size : To withstand heaviest jet blast, even when installed at threshold/runway end. New, low-maintenance design : Minimum number of parts, every part simple and functional, spare parts holding limited to a minimum. Fast re-lamping : lnner lenses and outer dome remain clamped to upper body. Only two wingscrews to remove. Repeatable and stable photometrics: Uses one PK30d quartz halogen lamp, precision-prefocused and accurately positioned in the lower body. Smooth outer glass dome surface will not retain dirt. Interval between cleanings can be extended without affecting light output significantly. Extended lamp life 1000 hours at full intensity (6.6A) 2000 to 4000 hours in practice, since the lighting system often operates at lower intensity settings. - Energy saver: High-efficiency optics need only 100W or 150W lamps where other lights require 200W. Reduced heat dissipation entails longer life of gaskets, glassware and internal wiring. Versatile optical system: 2-piece inner glass lens allows for any combination of colours. 180 degree blanking screen available. Easy to install : Design avoids twisting of electric wires. Non-seizing, polyurethane ball-joint for easy levelling and azimuth alignment. Dedicated aiming device available. Circling guidance: Intensity of omnidirectional light component exceeds the ICAO requirement, making VFR operations safer. Adaptable to special environmental conditions: lncreased height mounting stem for heavy snow fall areas. Provision for installation of a location marking rod or flag.

Notes : 1. 45W, - 6,6A - lamp available for solving specific cases. Contact factory for performance figures. 2. Outside main beams, intensity in white light never falls below 50 cd from 0 to 15 degrees vertical. This meets ICAO and FAA requirements for circling guidance purposes. 3. Omnidirectional blue dome available on request.

Installation
On On On On conduit elbow TC2. (Fig.5 - see cat. leaflet A.05.110). mounting plate T300/2 (see cat. leaf let A.05.110). L-867 steel base. (Fig.6 - see cat. leaflet A.05.120). anchor stake PA2 (see cat. leaflet A.05.110).

The stability of the stake has to be ensured through appropriate means (e.g. concrete). Levelling and aiming in azimuth of the light are easily performed with the dedicated aiming device supplied on request. FIG. 5 FIG. 6
