No separate colour filters.
• Mounts straight onto standard 2" gas conduit (60 mm O.D.), breakable coupling
or frangible mast head.
• Stable adjustment in elevation achieved by readily accessible, lockable
adjustment screws.
• Easy aiming, even on top of a mast, by means of dedicated setting devices
available either in an electronic or in a simplified, spirit-level version (Fig. 7).

Suggested Specification

The elevated unidirectional approach, threshold
and/or runway end, or supplementary stop bar
high intensity elevated light, or flashing light shall
be in compliance with ICAO Annex 14, Volume
I, for use in Cat. I, II and III.
The light unit shall meet the approach,
threshold and threshold wing bar photometric
specifications with a lamp of 150 W max. For
the runway end and the supplementary stop
bar lights the lamp power will be limited to
respectively 100 W and 45 W only. The expect­
ed lamp life shall not be less than 1000 hours at
full intensity (3 600 000 flashes for the flashing
lamp).
The design and construction shall take the main
mechanical requirements of FAA AC 150/5345-
46 and E-982 specification into account. The
weight of the light unit, including lamp and
glassware shall not exceed 1.7 kg. In order to
improve its frangibility and resistance against jet
blast or wind load, the front area surface of the
fitting will be as low as possible.
The light design shall allow its installation either
at ground level on a breakable coupling, on
any conduit or safety (frangible) mast with a 60
mm O.D. mounting interface. Fixation on this
support shall require only one screw.
All components shall be made out of tempe­
rature and UV-resistant material, suitably
protected against corrosion. Plain stainless steel
hardware shall be used throughout.
The elevation setting shall be easy, and shall
remain stable in time by making use of two
lockable adjustment screws, working in
opposition.
The protection degree of the fitting shall be min.
IP 43 or better.
The light unit shall be available, combined with a
low intensity omni-directional light to form a high
intensity – low intensity system.

The fitting shall include a hinged and removable

front optical cartridge to facilitate maintenance
and relamping either on site or in the main­
tenance base. The optical components shall
be housed in an optical cartridge held together
and sealed by just one gasket. No read­justment
of the light fixture shall be needed afterwards.
No tools shall be required for dismantling
and reassembling the optical cartridge or for
relamping.

The optical system shall consist of a high

purity aluminium reflector, a tungsten halogen
or xenon discharge lamp and a front glass
appropriate to its function. Separate colour
filters outside the fitting shall be prohibited.

The design of the fitting shall allow to mecha­

nically protect the supply cable over its com­
plete run from transformer to lamp. A cable
stress reliever shall be included to avoid traction
on the lamp wires.
