• DGAC Mexico: L-864 and L-810

Applications

The FTS 371 SMART is a low-power FAA L-810/L-864 red lighting system for FAA type A0/A1 structures. It meets changing FAA regulations for flashing markers and also complies with FAA L-885 for catenary applications.

With LED replacing incandescent lighting and marker power consumption decreasing by as much as 98%, a new approach for accurate monitoring is required. The FTS 371 uses a patent-pending current feedback monitoring technology that will not fluctuate with changes in incoming power and temperature, providing consistent and predictable results.
