Vhf Runway Light Controller
Runway lighting and reil xenon flash lamp life is.
Vhf runway light controller. The windtek pilot controlled runway light controller allows a pilot to activate runway lights from the air using a set vhf radio frequency. Maximum life and utility are thus achieved for both systems. Lighting management made easy for uncontrolled airfields or helipads thanks to a vhf based controller adjustable to every use case. Flight light s heliport radio controller is designed to provide complete control of heliport lighting systems.
The controller is designed to recognize a sequence of carrier wave pulses initiated by an incoming aircraft and to send a command to the airfield lighting control panel to switch the runway lights on control brightness etc. The l 854 radio receiver comes complete with dipole antenna lightning arrestor and 6 meters 20 feet of coaxial antenna cable. The avlite 2 4ghz rf radio controller module will relay the control message from the l 854 radio receiver across the rf mesh network to the solar lighting located on the airfield or helipad. The number of pulses and the lighting on time is preset according to the specification faa l 854.
Simply keying the microphone button 5 times will set a 15 minute lights on timer that will flash for 30 seconds at the end of the cycle. An ideal application for series constant current lighting systems is that of operating at a low power setting using the l 854 controller to bring the lighting to full brilliancy and if desired simultaneously energizing the reils. Lighting control can be provided by low voltage dc or ac power. Pilot controlled lighting pcl also known as aircraft radio control of aerodrome lighting arcal or pilot activated lighting pal is a system that allows aircraft pilots to control the lighting of an airport or airfield s approach lights runway edge lights and taxiways via radio.
Runway lighting available 24 7. Vhf transceivers antennae for composite aircraft runway lighting controllers ancillary products services. The lights stay on for 15 minutes plenty of time to land and taxi to the ramp. The output of the controller can be activated manually by internal switches or automatically with the use of a photocell and or vhf radio control.
