ILS Strobe Lighting Systems Introduction Congratulations, and thank you for choosing an ITL PULSAR XENON Series lighting system. We trust that ITL’s reputation for technical excellence, experience in product development, commitment to our customers and testing will ensure your complete satisfaction.
The ILS-1400 is a red only system which produces a low intensity red “burst” of rapid flashes every 3 seconds (20 FPM) in Night Mode. See major component block diagram below. Figure 1: ILS-1400 Red Strobe System Copyright 2007-2021 ITL, LLC (9/22/2021) Page 9 of 86 DOC-3400-MNL Rev23.doc...

1.5 seconds equating to 40 flashes per minute (FPM) in Day Mode and a low intensity white “burst” of rapid flashes every 1.5 seconds (40 FPM) in Night Mode. See major component block diagram below.

See major component block diagram below. Figure 3: ILS-3400 Dual Strobe System The intensity for all lighting systems is 20,000cd for a day flash and 2,000cd for a burst of night flashes. Copyright 2007-2021 ITL, LLC (9/22/2021) Page 11 of 86 DOC-3400-MNL Rev23.doc...
1.5s for white night operation or every 3s for red night operation. After each flash the ITL-3400 then examines the intensity of the flash and either confirms the successful flashing or generates an alarm otherwise.

The following section describes each all of the ILS-1400/2400/3400 circuit boards. 1. ITL-3400-TRG Trigger Board The ITL-3400 is the power supply’s main board. This microprocessor controlled circuit board controls and monitors all functions relating to the strobe light. Figure 45: ITL-3400 Main Board Picture ...
An array of LEDs provides visual feedback relating to the boards current function and alarm status. Red LEDs are utilized for alarm functions only. Any red LED which is lit indicates an active alarm condition. Figure 46: ITL-3400 LEDs Location Detail Color Function...

The indicator will temporarily flicker when the trigger capacitor is discharged during flashing. The location of the neon indicator is shown below. Figure 48: ITL-3400 Neon Trigger Indicator Location Detail Copyright 2007-2021 ITL, LLC...
Day Mode or White Night or Red Night LED will blink indicating this special mode. To assure that this switch is not accidentally left in the wrong position the ITL-3400 will automatically generate a PEC alarm if SW3 is not in its neutral position.
Page 55
ILS Strobe Lighting Systems ii. Configuration DIP Switch In addition to the two toggle switches the ITL-3400 has a two hardware configuration switches, SW4 and SW5 . The board will follow operation of this hardware configuration switch unless overridden by remote software. This is only the case for systems which are connected to a separate ITL monitoring product and communicate with ITL’s ADP family...
Page 56
Installed Bulbs Figure 54: Sidelight Configuration Detail Table If the ITL-3400 does not seem to respond to the configuration switches the board may have been configured with remote software. If necessary the board can be reset to factory defaults and will then follow the setup of the hardware configuration switches.
C. Hardware vs. Software Configuration As already indicated in the sections above relating to the hardware configuration switch and factory reset switch the ITL-3400 main board can be configured both with hardware configuration switches or remote software. The normal configuration mode and factory default is that the board will follow the settings of the two configuration switches SW4 and SW5.
ILS Strobe Lighting Systems D. Sync Line and RS485 Interface The ITL-3400 has two means of interfacing to other ITL-3400 boards if used in a configuration where three power supplies are interconnected. Basic sync and mode information is communicated from any board to the others via the SYNC connector J2.
2. ITL-3401-RLY Relay Board Figure 58: ITL-3401-RLY Alarm Relay Board Picture The ITL-3401-RLY alarm relay board connects directly to the ITL-3400 main board and contains all Form-C dry contact alarm relays indicating alarm status of the ILS- 1400/2400/3400 system. In addition, the board contains one mode relay indicating day or night mode operation.
3. ITL-3420-SEN / ITL-3421-SEN Sense Board Figure 59: ITL-3420-SEN Sense Board Picture The ITL-3420-SEN / ITL-3421-SEN board connects directly to the ITL-3400 main circuit board. It contains the strobe and sidelight sense transformers. Additionally, a set of jumpers allow for configuration of the sidelight type. For details on the jumper settings please refer to the Configuration DIP Switch section (Page 55 &...
