TLB1-H

Application

• omnidirectional heliport beacon
• used in the heliports where it is necessary to provide visual guidance over a long distance and this guidance is not provided by other visual means or where identification of the heliport is difficult due to ambient lights

Accordance with

• ICAO Annex 14 – Volume II – Heliports, 5th Edition, July 2020

Description/Properties

• the flashing light has an omnidirectional lightning emission characteristics (the light beam is identical in all azimuth angles) and after switching on it emits a series of short flashes of white light
• luminous intensity (flash intensity) can be adjusted manually in three steps via remote control or automatically according to ambient light intensity (Illuminance) using an externally connected ambient light intensity sensor
• remote control methods (modification of the control unit):
  

  

  • 24 V DC contact control
  • 230 V AC contact control
  • RS 485 serial link control
  • 100Base-TX ethernet interface control
