Avlite Systems

Solar Airfield Light

Global reputation for unsurpassed reliability…

TECHNOLOGYSolar lighting systems

LED as light source

Solar LED lighting best value of money at 1/3 of

the cost of mains power lighting installation

Suitable as an emergency back-up system

installed alongside traditional mains-powered

lighting

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Solar module converts sunlight to a electrical current used

to charge the battery at day

The battery provides power to operate at night

Microprocessor drives an array of LED through DC/DC

converter

Over charging protection

If the light has auto control then, On darkness, the

microprocessor initiate a program check and after

approximately 1 min. the light turn on.

installation

i)Remove the marked flash adjustment bung from the

base of the light and set internal toggle switch to ‘ON’

ii)Using DIP switches, Intensity setting of the lights are

adjusted

iii)Set rotary switches to the required flash code

iv)Replace flash adjustment bung

AV-70-RF MODEL

INTRODUCTION

Radio controlled version of AV70

Allows pilot safely navigate runways and

apron areas

Used in conjunction with Pilot Activated

Lighting Control(PALC) or simple hand held

controller

View

AV-ALS-RC-2.4-AVMESH

A model of Handheld controller

Features

Range: Up to 1.4 KM

Temperature: -40 to 80⁰C

Frequency: 2.4GHz

Nominal Voltage: 7.2 V

Battery Capacity: 4 Ah

AVLITE:AV-70-B-RF

Works by using a hand held radio

controller and setup entire airfield,

airport or air base.

Each light also has an operational

range of 1.4 Km

MODES OF OPERATION

Always ON operational Mode

STANDBY operational mode

Dusk till Dawn Operational mode

Light Group

Light is selected through rotary switch

Controller can select any one of the 10 individual light

groups or all (By default 0)

Timeout Duration

Visible only when timeout model is enabled

Time before the LED intensity reverts back to its LOW intensity state or standby

Duration can set from 1 to 60 minutes

LED Bank Setup

Allow a runway to change from visible to IR

Battery Diagnostic

Used to check the battery voltage in every light

If the battery voltage is within operational range the light will turn off for 1 sec, flash once for 1 sec and again turn off for 1 sec.

Otherwise, the light will turn off for 1 sec, flash twice then turn off for 1 sec

Graph for Diagnostic Test

Sending Command

Every time command is set by pressing SEND

button

Better to have diagnostic test once per day

Red Status LED Determine the fault

Present in radio controlled model

Situated near the Flash Code Switches

Runway B Only is to be High Intensity, with a Timeout of

8 minutes and Runway A will be low Intensity

Flash Codes All AV-70-RF lights are programmed to be steady on

Alternatively, they are able to be programmed to flash in

any of the 250 different flash codes i.e 00 to FF

Charging the radio controller

Unscrew the protective cap from the charging port

Insert the charging terminal into the Radio controller

Plug the charger into a wall socket and turn the charger

on

The charger has a LED to indicate the charge

sequences

i) green: Unit is fully charged

ii) orange: Unit is charging

iii) Red: A fault is occuring

PROGRAMMING THE RADIO CONTROL SYSTEM

Turn on radio controller

Press and hold the menu button for 3 sec

Menu contains following submenu

a. Screen back light

b. Connection method

i) Radio control

ii) Direct connection

c. Flash code selection- Enable or disable

d. Sync. Menu selection- Enable or disable

e. Advanced operation- Enable or disable

f. Diagnostic- Enable or disable

g. Radio information

i. Radio encryption key

If you change the radio encryption key then, the light

encryption key by which that remote control should

also changes

j. Press ‘send’ to save the Radio Control System
