1.0 Safety It is not safe to work on a constant current power system when the power is on. Make sure the power is off before installing a runway light fixture. A lock out, tag out, procedure should be used. An additional safety measure is to test that the circuit is off by using a clamp-on ammeter.

3.0 Installation 3.1 FAA References and Siting Requirements The requirements for siting of high intensity runway edge lights are explained in FAA advisory circular 150/5340-30J. The L862E fixtures, bidirectional red/green and red/red, and unidirectional red or green will come with red and/or green lens retainers to provide daytime recognition. 3.2 Installation 3.2.1 Tools Required for Installation.
3.2.5 Final Assembly. Connect the secondary of the isolation transformer to the fixture. Apply anti-seize compound to the 3 screws that will secure the secondary plug. Secure the secondary plug to the baseplate with the 3 screws and plug retainer. Place the baseplate gasket in position. Position the baseplate over the can so that the arrows on the fixture point towards the runway centerline.
3.4 Level Fixture Place a level on top of the cap and level the fixture. If a torpedo level is used, level in both directions of the cross. A bull’s eye level can be used at the cross intersection. Figure 5: Leveling, Front View. Figure 6: Leveling, Side View.
3.5 Torque Bolts Once the fixture has been aimed and leveled, torque the ¼-20 fasteners to 64 inch-pounds (5.3 foot-pounds). Recheck the level of the fixture. Table 2: Torque Inch-pounds Foot-pounds Newton-meters 18.4 ¼-20 63.6 1 ½...
4.0 Operation The ESEL LED product line is designed to work on a constant current electrical supply that delivers current from 2.8 amps to 6.6 amps. The fixture measures the input current and automatically adjusts the light intensity. The fixture contains an input power board, a controller, and light engine(s).
5.0 Maintenance 5.1 Daily Maintenance Check that all lights are working. Check that all lights have similar light output. Check that the lenses are clean. 5.2 Monthly Maintenance Check that all fixtures are aimed properly. Check that all fixtures are level on 2 axes. Check that the fixture is secure, and all fasteners are tight.
Outside of aiming, leveling, and cleaning, the ESEL fixture should require very little maintenance. The end user has the option to use this manual to perform advanced maintenance, to call tech support at Airport Lighting Company at (866) 212-1060 or to contact us by email at support@airportlightingcompany.com.
6.3 Removing Electronic Parts. When the light is out the cause can be in a few areas. The way to isolate the problem is to start with a known good fixture. Test each part from the inoperable fixture in the known good fixture, one at a time, until the problem is isolated.
Figure 8: How to Remove Ferrule. Insert a small blade screwdriver into the openings next to the ferrules to release the ferrules. Remove the 2 screws holding the input board to the bottom. 6.4 Replacing Electronic Parts. Connect the input board to the bottom with 2 screws. Push the ferrules into the input board terminal block until the ferrules are flush with the top of the terminal block.
6.5 Replacing the LED Light Engine. Figure 9: Lens Assembly It is recommended to purchase the light engine as an assembly with a new glass lens. If the lens is broken and the light engine still works properly, the glass lens can be replaced. And if the lens is good, the light engine can be replaced.
Peel the gasket off the parts that are going to be reused. Use an adhesive cleaner to remove any remaining adhesive. (Goo Gone, or De-Solv-It work well) Use alcohol to clean the surface for the new gasket. Clean the lens. Peel and stick the new gasket to the lens.
