High Intensity White Strobe Lighting System

FAA Type:L-856 High Intensity Lighting
ICAO Type: Type A High Intensity Obstacle Light

ETL Certified: FAA Advisory Circular AC
150/5345-43F

Compliant to: Canadian Aviation Regulation
(CAR)621.19, ICAO Annex 14,
MIL-C-7989, DGAC of Mexico

Use:
High intensity obstruction lighting systems are typically used on structures taller than 500' (150M) above ground level to provide aviation safety. The use of a high intensity lighting system typically eliminates the need to paint the structure with aviation red and white stripes. Hughey & Phillips high intensity obstruction lights are designed for lighting tall structures such as television and radio towers, chimneys, cooling towers, tall buildings, catenary river crossings and bridges.

Design:
The StrobeGuard™ High Intensity Lighting System consists of multiple flashheads controlled by a single lighting control. The quantity and location of flashheads used is generally determined by the structure;s height and diameter. The StrobeGuard™ controller constantly monitors the operation of each flashhead, and provides alarm contact closure upon any failure. The control automatically switches between day, twilight, and night intensifies by the use of a calibrated photocell. StrobeGuard™ flashheads incorporate a louver system to minimize ground scatter light, resulting in a "community friendly" lighting system. The StrobeGuard™ system can be combined with a red lighting system for areas where white lighting at night may be undesirable.

Features:
• Fail-safe monitoring system
• Parabolic Optics minimize "ground scatter" light: <3% of peak intensity at -10
• Two-wire cable for sync, mode and monitoring
• Safety interlocks in each flashhead
• Long-life internally triggered strobe tubes
• Automatic three-level intensity control
• Manual intensity override
• Easily accessible replaceable components
• Plug-in-play circuit cards
• Remote alarm contacts
• Stainless steel NEMA 4X enclosure
• Vertical level indicator and adjustment system
• Low power consumption
• Minimal wind loading and weight

StrobeGuard™ Control
StrobeGuard™ controls contain the flash interval and timing circuits, intensity selection controls and monitoring circuitry with status indicators. The StrobGuardTM control system is designed to operate up to 24 flashheads at a distance of up to 2500 feet (760 M), using a noise-resistant communications format. Each control is equipped with the necessary manually operated controls to test all modes of operation. Bi-color green/red LEDs are provided to indicate proper operation of fault of each flashhead.

Flashhead Advantages
Each StrobeGuard™ Flashhead contains a flashtube, reflector assembly, power supply and trigger circuitry in a single enclosure. All circuit boards are plug-in-play, meeting all physical and electrical requirements of MIL-I-40658B including conformal coating for weather resistance. StrobeGuard™ Flashheads are supplied with lighting arrestors capable of withstanding repeated 10,000-amperecurrent surges. The flashheads utilize an internally triggered strobe tube that eliminates ozone, a corrosive agent that can damage wiring and circuitry over time.
