Omnidirectional approach light AL-036-04-WH

for heli-platformsLEDsteady

The Heliport FATO is a steady omnidirectional white light designed for marking the Final Approach and Take-off Area (FATO) area. A lighting system must be present on the heliports where night operations are conducted. These lights should be located on FATO boundaries. If the FATO is a circle you need a minimum of 10 lights and the distance between the lights must be a maximum of 5 m. If the TLOF is a square you need a minimum of 4 lights for each side and the distance between lights must be a maximum of 50 meters. The mounting system is elevated, fixed on a base plate with a frangible coupling The body is made of powder-coated aluminum The diffuser is made of clear polycarbonate UV protected The power supply can be a heliport controller. In this case, the control is also made in three steps from the heliport controller. Power input can be low voltage, 48 V DC or it can work in constant current when the distance from the heliport controller to the lights is long and this will generate a big drop of voltage on cables. Optionally it can be powered at 90-230V, 50/60Hz but the light fixtures will no longer have the dimming function Environment FATO elevated lights were tested for working environments from -50 to + 50 °C The degree of protection is IP 67 The exposed surface to the wind is low so it can withstand strong wind UV protected polycarbonate makes it resistant to sun radiation Optical characteristics The light source is made with WHITE LEDs and special lenses to obtain the ICAO specifications The color and lights distribution passes the tests according to ICAO into an external recognised laboratory
