2. Descriptive system function

2-1. System function

The input of master panel is 110V/220V 60Hz and remote control signals from the tower.
The signal terminals consist of B1, B2, B3, C(common) signals coming out of the tower,
trigger signals(combined with LED monitoring) going to condenser discharge(C/D) light,
 bright selecting signals-M,H and L1, L2, N for power supply.

2-2. Mode A- Low intensity

When B1 is selected to remote control position, the relay coil-K1 of Master timer is
energized with DC power, The coil of magnetic contractor-L2 & N is AC 110V. When the
magnetic contactor is energized, Power relay -K2 is operated and discharge loop is made
by K2 relay contacted through resistance R9-R11(5W22KOhmx3EA) connected to
resistance board terminal. At this time when tiger signal is applied and K1 relay is
operated, the ignition coil of flash light head’s trigger terminal (TR signal) is switched by
C1. CD light is operated by a rectified high voltage ( DC power), DC power is supplied to
the X-non lamp.

2-3. Mode B-“Medium” Medium intensity

When B2 is selected to remote control position, the relay coil-K2 is energized with DC
power, Magnetic contactor’s coils- MC1 and MC2 are operated. Input power L1, L2, N
(MC1 Switching), AC110V/220V and MC2 are switched to “ON”, The bright selecting
signal-“M” signal is sent to CD light.
The relay -K3 received the signal in the power supply of CD light is operated.
The resistance (5W 22KOhmx4EA) on resistance board terminal connected on relay “B”
contact cuts lines and the relay is short. Voltage is charged into condenser C3.
At this time when tiger signal is applied, K1 relay is operated and the ignition coil of flash
light head’s trigger terminal (TR signal) is switched through C1 by charged voltage in C2
and C3.
CD light is operated by a rectified high voltage ( DC power), DC power is supplied to the
X-non lamp.

2-4. Mode C-“high” High intensity

When B3 is selected to remote control, the relay coil-K3 is energized with DC power and
Magnetic contactor’s coils- MC1, MC2 and MC3 are operated. Input power L1, L2, N
(MC1 Switching) AC110V/220V, MC2 and MC3 are switched to “ON”.
The bright selecting signals-“M” and ”H” signal are supplied to CD light.
The relays -K3 and K4 received the signal from power supply of CD light are operated.
The resistance (5W 22KOhmx4EA) on resistance board terminal A-D connected to relay
“B” contact cuts line and the relay’ A” contact is short. Voltage is charged into condenser
C3 and C4.
At this time when tiger signal is applied, K1 relay is operated and the ignition coil of flash
light head’s trigger terminal (TR signal) is switched through C1 by charged voltage in C3
and C4.
 CD light is operated by a rectified high voltage (DC 1460V) DC power is supplied to the
X-non lamp.

2-5 Flash Light Head

S1 and S2 are interlocked and apart from the outdoor in the power supply.
“TR” is trigger terminal coming from power and connected with ignition coil.
+ and – terminals are supplied from rectified high voltage through bridge diode form main
transformer. All terminals are connected onto the terminal block TB2

3. System operation

3-1. Operation mode

SFL is operated at the state of 3 brightness steps having combination of local and remote.
For local operation of S1 (rotary switch), turns B1, B2 and B3 with hand.
For automatic operation S1 switch, set to “remote” position.
By relay’s operation receiving a signal in the remote controller it is operated.
The comparison of the general current value in the airfield and the brightness in each
level of SFL is as following data and can be used for the reference in selecting intensity.

6. System maintenance and repair.

6-1. Flash light head
1) When flash light head is replaced ( in event of the stop of flashing from flash light head,
the operation of below 50% to the lamp manufacturer’s specification and the operation
of below 50% of maximum intensity), appropriate procedure is necessary.
- Caution-
Make sure that input power must remove before disassemble the flash light head.
Though flash light head has interlock switch, Input power must remove from the power supply
due to condenser discharge energy.
 2) The rolling coil in the lamp should be cautioned. When the lamp is placed at socket, be
cleaned and assembled by using a soft paper or piece of cloth.
3) When reassembling the cover, must gasket place at original position, the electrical
connection should be carried out in the bottom of the panel.

6-2. Power supply unit

All electrical components on the power supply unit are attached on 2 pieces of panels-
side and sash panel.

1) Side panel
5 sets of limit switches (interlock switches) and lightning arrester are connected to the
earth( panel frame ground)
Inspect if lightning arrester (TNR) does not work by a continuation switching with the
inspection of eyes on account of these small quantities.

2) Sash panel
Release 2 pieces of bolts fixing the sash panel.
Separate input assembly, plugs and others from the side panel. When high Powered
condenser line connection is cut off it can be removed from cabinet.

6-3. Master timer unit

Make sure that this system and fuses do work.
Inspect the contactors of K1, K2 and K3 by 3 months interval period. (The manufacturers
of the relays warrant their life spans for 10 years.)
Inspect and test it when the rotary switch set to “manual” position.
These are minimum solutions for trouble shooting.
When electrical master timer is trouble, inform the manufacturer what is problems.

6-4 Interface unit (relay board)

Check the voltage of the relay-bridge-diode.
