Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) Compliance with Standards FAA: FAA L-880 specification AC 150/5345-28D ICAO: Annexe 14, Volume I, para. 5.3..23 105.3545 NATO : STANAG 3316, Uses ‘The PAPI and APAPI systems using PPL units with either 2.0r3 light channels offer the pilot information enabling him to carry out the approach procedure with the utmost accuracy and safety. Features + With only one lamp in use, the PPL. 400/2 outperforms all lamps PAPI units having two lamps in use. + The use of two lenses in tandom in each ight channel ‘makes the transition fram white to red sharp (never exceeding 3 minutes of arc over the full beam with). + ICAO colorimetry conformity maintained over the whole width of the red beam. * Lenses protected from sandblasting by a hardened front lass. Anti-condensation and antirost treatment of front ales available on request + Long Ife (21000 hours ot full intensity), tungsten halo- gen prefocus lamps ‘Distortion tre, al aluminium construction yet featuring a frangible construction ‘Optimal stabiity obtained by using four mounting logs. + Easy instalation and leveling using purpose made ig and instruments, + Long focal lenath makes adjustment in elevation easy, accurate and stable. + lecuced maintenence. The unit is fully gsketed and femains therefore clean inside. Relamping and replacement of fiter do not require any tools + Condensation water is drained away through wire gauze covered drain holes + No water can accumulate on the cover, so reflections which could constitute @ false optical signal aro eliminated. + Fuly corrosion proof since only aluminium, stainless stee! hardware and optical glass are used «Available in 2amps execution (PPL. 400/2) or amps execution (PPL 600/2) + Best match to obstacie protection surtace. * Tit switch option available A025120 PPL 400/2 PPL 600/2 ADB A Siemens CompanyConstruction Aluminium cover Front glass Front glass gasket Inner lens ( Red filter (7) Filter retainer (*) Specular finish eluminium reflector (*) Lamp holding bracket (*) Prefocus halogen lamp (*) Cover gasket Compression busting (*) or, optional, nipple for flexible conduit (*) 12, 2-core cable with 2-pole plug 13, Folded aluminium housing with lockable latch 14.

The transition sector will not exceed 3 minutos of {are over the full bears width, The unit will use one pre- focus halogen lamp rated 200 W per light channel ‘The expected lfe of the lamps willbe not less than 1000 hours at fullntensity. The optical system for each light chanel will consist af a high purity alurninum reflector, 3 red, through-coloured glass fiter and two lenses made of optical lass. Lamps and fiters wall be ‘easily replaceable without need of re-calibration. The PAP! unit will be mounted on four logs fitted with pre- Cision olevation adjustment. The unit will be made from folded aluminium sheet fully protected against corrosion, twill be fully weatherproof. A hardened glass will be [provided in front of the lenses to protect them against ‘sandblast, A set of installation tools and calibration instruments will be supplied with each system.
