Page 4 of 21 1 ABOUT THIS PRODUCT Obelux MI compact series LED obstruction lights provide 2,000cd color aviation red light and Night Vision Goggle (NVG) compliant infrared (850 nm) light. Both Stand-alone and Modbus operation are supported. In Stand-alone mode, no external controllers are required to run the light. In Modbus operation, the light is controlled with an Obelux controller as a part of an aviation light system.

Obelux aviation obstruction lights are Class 2M LED devices. This class is safe for accidental viewing under all operating conditions. However, it may not be eye-safe for a person who deliberately stares into the LED beam by overcoming their natural aversion response to the very bright light.
Medium-Intensity 2000cd compact series manual Page 10 of 21 3 INSTALLATION 3.1 Device installation Install the obstruction light to selected mounting point using quality-made fasteners. Level the light using a spirit level (bubble level) if necessary. Tighten bolts and nuts. The light has 6 holes for M8 bolts on the mounting plate.

GPS lock. Modbus mode: In this mode, the light is being controlled with an additional Obelux controller. If connection is lost to the controller, the light will keep working on its own. It will use its internal photocell and GPS to synchronize flashing and determine the time of day.
Operating mode Stand-alone * Modbus * Factory default 4.3 Modbus mode The light is in Modbus mode when DIP8 is on. Light is being controlled with an Obelux controller. DIP switch Operating mode Stand-alone Modbus Configuration DIP switches 1-4 are used to give the light a RS-485 bus address. Duplicate addresses on the same bus are not allowed.
Medium-Intensity 2000cd compact series manual Page 19 of 21 The light can be dimmed by using DIP6 and DIP7. Dimming is light brightness as percentage of full power. Note that the light stay in test mode despite DIP7 is turned off.
Do not exceed maximum operating voltage. Mains power supply input is protected with overvoltage protection circuit that is tuned to stated operating voltage range. No Modbus data connection to Obelux controller • Check DIP settings. Check that light has a correct Modbus address and that there are no conflicting addresses.
Medium-Intensity 2000cd compact series manual Page 21 of 21 • Too many RS-485 termination resistors (120ohm) on the same RS-485 communication bus. Only the last light on the bus should have the termination resistor in use. • Check Modbus data wiring.
