  • Page 5: Introduction To The Pel-4 Precision Led Sector Light

    The PEL-4 has been designed with many features to allow the user to set up the operation for a specific site. These features are programmable using the Vega Remote infrared programmer (TVIR programmer ).

  • Page 6: Quick-Start Guide

    Vega-compatible sync source operating from the same power supply voltage as the PEL-4. To begin using the PEL-4, the power will need to be connected. The PEL-4 has been pre- programmed for the flash character, effective intensity, and any other features required at the time of sale.

  • Page 7: Automatic Flash Compensation

    The PEL-4 is programmed for the required colour (red/green) effective intensity in Candela. The white intensity will depend on the model of PEL-4. If the PEL-4 is a Uniform White model then the white intensity will be approximately the same as (but never less than) the programmed colour intensity.
  • Page 8 Example 2: How to calculate the PEL-4 flashing character intensity setting and to calculate the current consumption. For a PEL-4 set with an ISO 4s flash character and a desired white effective intensity of 100,000 candela, the table in Appendix B should be consulted twice: ...

    PEL-4 flash characters being synchronized. The start of the PEL-4 flash character can be delayed between 0 and 9.9 seconds from the sync edge should it be desirable to have a different start time to that of other beacons connected to the synchronising wire.

  • Page 12: Alignment

    The PEL-4 mounting bracket provides a few degrees of horizontal angle adjustment prior to tightening the M12 bolts through it. The PEL-4 includes an M12 elevation adjustment screw beneath the barrel, as shown in the following diagrams. PEL-4 Precision LED Sector Light Page 12 of 69 Manual Version V1.06...

  • Page 13: Programming

    PEL-4 mainframe (indicated by the red markings in the following diagrams). For best results when programming, direct the TVIR programmer at this part of the PEL-4. Refer to Appendix A for operating the TVIR Programmer.

  • Page 14: Programming Syntax

    Operation 7 Read settings Operation 9 The FEATURE parameter represents the feature of the PEL-4 to be read or written such as flash character or intensity. The VALUE parameter is the new value to set the selected FEATURE to. For example, the sequence 9 8 reads the low battery threshold (operation 9 = read setting, feature 8 = low battery threshold).

  • Page 15: If The Pel-4 Will Not Enter Programming Mode

    If the PEL-4 will not enter Programming Mode If you find the PEL-4 will not enter the programming mode, it could be caused by several reasons such as:  The battery in the TVIR Programmer is missing, or the plastic battery insulator has not been removed, or the battery has low voltage.
  • Page 16 Press the red standby button for 5 indicate it has entered programming mode seconds 2. Enter the programming sequence for The PEL-4 will flash once each time a key the Operation Mode (15003) on the programmer is operated. When the sequence is completed the command will be rejected and an error indicated by 3 quick flashes.

  • Page 17: Deciding Which Settings Are Required

    Deciding which Settings are required Since the PEL-4 is delivered from the factory with operator-specified settings, it is unlikely to be necessary to reprogram any settings. The “Read Settings” feature can be used to note the values already programmed.

  • Page 18: Normal, Automatic Operating Mode

    NORMAL, AUTOMATIC OPERATING MODE The operation mode setting is the master mode setting of the PEL-4. It controls whether the PEL-4 is operational or in storage mode and how the PEL-4 responds to detected fault conditions. There are two normal, automatic operation modes: ...

  • Page 19: Custom Flash Character

    To program the custom character, the details of the on and off periods of the flash character has to be recorded in the PEL-4 and then the flash character ‘999’ has to be programmed (see the previous section for this last step).

  • Page 20: Night & Day Intensity Settings

    The default construction of the PEL-4 places the photocell inside the rear cover, obscuring it from the intense light output of the PEL-4. It is important to ensure that the rear cover is not obscured from daylight if automatic day/night operation is required. The PEL-4 will transition from night to day operation, or vice versa, after three consecutive, filtered daylight samples agree that the user-programmed Lux threshold has been reached.

  • Page 21: Synchronising Options

    Each PEL-4 can be set to be a sync master or sync slave. As a sync slave, the PEL-4 will not generate sync pulses and will only turn on if sync pulses are received. A PEL-4 set to be a sync master (the default) will generate a sync pulse at the start of the flash character.

  • Page 22: Battery Thresholds

    999 will disable this function of protecting the battery. Note, however that the PEL-4 will always turn off when the input voltage is either too low for it to function correctly, or below the input current demand of the PEL-4’s design specification.
  • Page 23 Instruction Manual PEL-4 Precision LED Sector Light Vega Industries Ltd Aug 2018 The input voltage value is provided in tenths of a volt. For example, a read-back of ‘120’ means 12.0V was detected. An error of +/-2% in this reading is typical.

  • Page 24: Setting A Security Pin Number

    Value =XXX =PIN number If the entered PIN number is correct, the PEL-4 will flash back the PIN number using a series of flashes and, during the current TVIR programming session (only), subsequent programming commands will be accepted. Entering an incorrect PIN will cause the PEL-4 to return an error flash code. Multiple attempts can be made without penalty to enter the correct PIN.

  • Page 25: Flash Character Modes

    Flash Compensation Modes The PEL-4 is capable of generating several different flash characteristics. The IALA E-200- 4 2017 flash compensation algorithm is enabled by default. Additionally, a peak intensity during flash mode is available in which no flash compensation is applied. Lastly, an historic IALA E-200-4 2008 flash compensation algorithm can also be programmed.

  • Page 26: Peak Intensity During The Flash Mode

    Peak Intensity During the Flash Mode No flash compensation is applied in this mode. The programmed day or night intensity is directly output from the PEL-4 during the flash on (a.k.a. peak) period of the flash character. Peak intensity during flash mode can be selected as follows:...

  • Page 27: Remote Control Operation

    PEL-4 Precision LED Sector Light Vega Industries Ltd Aug 2018 REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION The PEL-4 includes an extensive set of remote control features. These features are compatible with many other advanced PEL-4 functions. Enabling Remote Control Operation The remote control features must be enabled using the master operation mode programming sequence.

  • Page 28: Hard-Wired Input Control Programming

    7-4-XYZ remote control mode command contains three separate digits controlling separate parts of the remote control setup:  Digit X defines the input active polarity (the PEL-4 only supports 1 = high active);  Digit Y defines whether an internal pull-up/down is enabled (the PEL-4 only supports 1 = pull-down enabled);...

  • Page 29: Serial Remote Control Interface

    The serial interface commands work in a differential mode to the current PEL-4 state. If a new serial command is received that requires a change in state compared to the existing PEL-4 state, then a change of state is scheduled and will occur in the next one to two seconds.

  • Page 30: Serial Remote Control Mode Changes

     If necessary, repeated site visits to manually change the PEL-4 state can be made until the serial communications system is repaired.  Until new serial <RON> commands are received by the PEL-4, it will remain in the state manually set by the On/Off input switch.
