Applications
Taxiway edge for ICAO, FAA and military taxiways. White Omnidirectional Approach and Unserviceability lights.
Benefits
• 60,000 hours LED rated life at full intensity, but over 100,000 hours in field operating conditions.
• In new installation, LED lights mean lower loads, lower size of CCRs and transformers, thus low life cycle costs.
• The light output is variable like a traditional halogen lamp, as indicated by the FAA “Engineering Briefing No.67”.
• Color emitted directly by LEDs: absence of colored lenses ensures no energy losses and no color shifts.
• Fully compatible with existing AFL infrastructure (for monitored fixtures, isolation transformer max size: 200 VA).
• Designed with simplicity allowing longer maintenance intervals and fewer spare parts.
• Customized lens gasket to avoid the use of sealing.
• No optical adjustment after LED module or lens replacement.
• Operating with any topology of CCRs designed in compliance with IEC or FAA requirements.
Performance
• Rugged electronics built tough for high resistance to shock and vibration.
• Automatic adaptation to the frequency of the supply current.
• A surge protection device is provided in the electronics as required by the FAA “Engineering Briefing No.67”.
• Immediate detection of an internal fault.
• Lightweight and sturdy due to aluminum die-castings.
• Powder coating surface finishing to provide good corrosion resistance.
• Body balanced on the slipfitter for proper levelling by means of three screws.
• High jet blast resistance due to the small size of the fixture, 10″ (250mm) high.
• Protection degree: IP67.
• Temperature range: -55°C (-67°F) to +55°C (131°F).
Installation
• The fixture can be installed on pipe elbow or baseplate.
• Specific tools available for easy and precise installation.
