Avlite’s medium intensity obstruction lights are designed to operate over a wide operational voltage range and thus the average power consumption will vary accordingly. There is a vast array of power sources that can be utilized for Avlite’s medium intensity obstruction lights. However, the vast majority of customer power supplies comprise of either Photovoltaic Power or AC Utility and as such this bulletin will focus on these types and how they apply to Avlite’s FAA L864 Medium Intensity Obstruction Lights.
Operation & Setup When powered up, the light will constantly check day/night status using its internal ambient light sensor. The ambient light sensor averages its measurement for 30 seconds. FAA: By default, the lights turn ON when the ambient light decreases to not less than 35 foot-candles (367.7 lux) and turn OFF when the ambient light increases to not more than 60 foot-candles (645.8 lux).

Battery Status (12V System Only) This function reads the battery status. The response from the light is: 4 flashes = High Voltage 3 flashes = Good Voltage 2 flashes = Low Voltage 1 flashes = Cut-off Voltage or below Example Key sequence: Error/Acknowledge Indication If the key sequence is invalid, or an out of bounds value is attempted to be set, the light flashes 5 times for 1 second.
Universal AC & Universal DC Models Optional GPS Synchronization Avlite has utilized the latest advancements in GPS technology to develop an internal synchronization system that can be incorporated into the lights. Using overhead satellites, multiple obstruction lights set to the same flash pattern will flash in unison.
Dark Operation When dark conditions are detected the light: • Checks for valid time data and is turned on after a delay based on the current time and the length of the selected flash code; • If valid time data is not detected the light will turn on after approximately 10 seconds. This light will not be synchronized.
Universal AC & Universal DC Models Optional GSM Monitoring & Control The Avlite obstruction light is available with GSM Cell-Phone Monitoring, enabling operators to remotely monitor the status of their installation. The system can also be configured to send out SMS text messages or e-mail alerts to designated operators should alarm conditions be triggered, such as low voltage or light failure.
Lantern Status Lantern Status The AV-OL-FL864-12/UM lanterns are fitted with two status LEDs and provide the operator with an indication of the lantern status There is one red and one yellow status LED. The red status LED is used to indicate the health of the Lantern’s power system.
1 Quick Flash, and Slow Flashing. The LEDs are located on the side of the lantern. Certification Certified to: FAA AC NO: 150/5345-43 H, L-864 FAA Engineering Brief No. 67 DGAC L-864 Transport Canada: CAR, Standard 621; CL-864 Latest products and information available at www.avlite.com...
