  • Page 4: Introduction

    1.0 Introduction Congratulations! By choosing to purchase an Avlite light, you have become the owner of one of the most advanced solar LED airfield lights in the world. Avlite Systems draws on more than 25 years experience in the design and manufacture of navigation aids, and particular care has been taken to ensure your light gives years of trouble free service.

  • Page 5: Technology

    LED Technology All Avlite lights use the latest advancements in LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology as a light source. The major advantage of LED’s over traditional light sources is well established in that they typically have an operational life in excess of 100,000 hours, resulting in substantial savings to maintenance and servicing costs.

    The battery is protected from over-charging within the circuit to ensure maximum battery life. The AV-70-HI is a high intensity version of the popular AV-70 and is ideal for use in high sunlight areas that receive a minimum of 3.5 hours of sun per day.

  • Page 11 NOTE: Before activating the lights, the lights must be layed out on the runway in the location they will be installed. • NOTE: RF lights should always be installed on mounting plates and stakes. Avlite does not recommend installation on rubber tiles. Use a large flat-blade screwdriver to remove the Flash Adjustment Plug from the base of the light (see Figure 1).

  • Page 12: Selecting Power Intensity

    4.1 Selecting an Intensity/Power Setting - AV-70 and AV-70-HI Intensity/power settings on Avlite lanterns operate via DIP switches, located near the rotary switches on the flasher unit. The intensity/power settings may be used to reduce the power consumption and intensity of the lantern. Setting the lantern to 25% intensity will reduce the power consumption to 25% of the normal 100% setting and the range by 25%.

  • Page 13: Selecting A Flash Code - Rotary Switch A And B (Av-70 And Av-70-Hi)

    It is best to operate at the lowest duty cycle appropriate to the actual needs of the application. Please note, Avlite models will retain full autonomy in normal operating conditions with duty cycles up to approximately 30%. In applications whereby duty cycles exceed this limit, a reduction in light intensity is recommended.
