  • Page 4: Introduction To The Vlb-44X Marine Led Beacon

    Introduction to the VLB-44X Marine LED Beacon 1.1. Overview The Vega VLB-44X LED beacon is an energy-efficient marine beacon that is available in a wide range of configurations. The number of tiers can range from 1 to 3, with each tier having a vertical divergence of 2.5, 5.0 or 10 degrees.

  • Page 5: Infra-Red Programming

     The beacon might be set to Traffic Light mode. Either apply the appropriate voltage to the On input or send the TVIR programming command to set the beacon into Normal mode, instead. 1.3. Infra-red programming The infrared receiver for programming the beacon is located on the base of the beacon. For best results when programming direct the IR remote at this part of the beacon.
  • Page 6 This allows the VLB-44X to be controlled by an external controller so it may be used, for example, to direct shipping traffic. Note – when operating in traffic light mode, the normal mode day/night switching based on the measured light level is inhibited.

  • Page 7: Getting Started

    Getting Started From knowing the flash character, colour, and range required (effective candela) i. Determine the number of tiers required and the power requirement (Appendix D) ii. Connect power to the VLB-44X and any I/O signals that are required. iii. Program the beacon for the required flash character, effective candela, and other features (Section 3 and Appendices A &...

  • Page 8: Tvir Remote02 Programming Procedures & Options

    TVIR Remote02 Programming Procedures & Options For detailed programming instructions refer to Appendix A. The programming codes for the effective intensity settings of the VLB-44X beacon are provided in the performance tables of Appendix B of this manual. During programming the VLB-44X beacon will flash each time a button is operated on the IR programmer. On completion of a program option the beacon will provide visual feedback by repeating the code of the programmed function by a series of flashes.

  • Page 9: Visual Feedback

    The valid combinations of operation, feature and value are listed in Appendix A. The valid beacon intensity settings can be found in Appendix B for the relevant beacon model. Please take the time to familiarise yourself with the tables in Appendices A & B before continuing. 3.1.3.
  • Page 10 Press the red standby button for 5 seconds The beacon will give 4 quick flashes to indicate it has entered programming mode Exit program mode The beacon will give two quick flashes followed by a Leave the programmer idle for 10 seconds short pause followed by another two quick flashes.

  • Page 11: Programming Features

    When the sequence is completed the value will be rejected and an error indicated by 3 quick flashes. The beacon will then return to programming mode and is ready for a new instruction. Exit programming mode The beacon will give two quick flashes followed by a short pause followed by another two quick Leave the programmer idle for 10 seconds flashes.

  • Page 12: Custom Flash Character

    Vega beacons are pre-programmed with 246 standard characters represented by a 3 digit code XYY. The first digit of the code represents a flash type such as 1YY for isophase characters. If a customer uses a set of flash characters which are not included in the standard set these can be included if advised at time of ordering the beacons.

  • Page 13: Effective Intensity

    The Day/Night transition can be synchronised between multiple beacons when the sync wires of the beacons are connected. This synchronization scheme overcomes the difference in the accuracy of the light sensor in each beacon or their slightly different location. The synchronization works as follows for beacons that are sync masters: ...

  • Page 14: Operation Mode

    1-7-001 <Normal sync operation with 1 continued flash cycle after loss of sync if a slave>) Hard wire synchronization is standard for the VLB-44X beacon. Programming options allow the beacon to be set as a sync-master or as a sync-slave. The start of the flash character can be delayed from 0 to 9.9 seconds.

  • Page 15: Programming Mode

    Value = 001 is normal operation mode Note - it is not possible to switch directly from Traffic Light mode to Storage mode. It is first necessary to switch to Normal mode from Traffic Light mode and then the beacon may be switched to Storage mode. It is however possible to switch from storage mode into any other mode –...

  • Page 16: Pin Code Option

     Beacon internal temperature (2);  Factory current adjustment (3);  Serial number (4);  LED type (5);  Calibration/Characterisation (6);  Aux Driver to Primary Driver Current Ratio (9). 3.2.10. PIN Code Option (Factory setting 000 <no PIN code>) If the user is concerned about unauthorized programming of the beacon then a 3-digit PIN code can be set.

  • Page 17: Installing The Vlb-44X Beacon

    Installing the VLB-44X Beacon 4.1. The Mounting Structure Any movement of the mounting structure will affect how the intended user will see the beacon. The amount of sway that can occur needs to be limited to ensure that the beacon will remain visible. This includes the sway on a fixed structure and the degree of roll on a buoy.

    4.3. Bird Spikes The beacon is supplied with four plastic bird spikes. To install the bird spikes simply screw them by hand into the threaded holes in the beacons lid. Screw bird spikes in firmly 4.4. Mounting the VSU-29 Pulse Sync unit The internal diameter of the centre hole allows for the fitting of the VSU-29 GPS Sync Unit and mounting ring.

  • Page 20: Power Supply & I/O Connections

    Power Supply & I/O Connections 5.1. Power Supply Requirements Supply voltage is nominally 12 VDC, with an operating range of 9.0 – 18.0 VDC. Normal operating voltage should not exceed 18.0V. Reverse polarity and internal transient voltage protection are provided. A low and high voltage threshold is programmable and the beacon will switch off if the low threshold is reached.

  • Page 22: Synchronization With Other Beacons

    Synchronization with Other Beacons Note – Synchronization is disabled when in traffic light mode. 6.1. Hard-wire synchronization option The VLB-44X beacon comes with a sync wire to allow synchronizing with other beacons that are within a reasonable wiring distance. For convenience the sync wire is present in both the power and the I/O cables. When using one of the sync connections leave the other unconnected.

  • Page 23: Serial Interface

    Serial Interface The VLB-44X RS232 serial interface accepts commands and queries as well as generating monitoring data. The default state of the serial interface is active (115200 baud, 8N1) and receiving commands and queries with monitoring output deactivated. 7.1. Monitoring Output The monitoring output can be delivered in a variety of ways: ...

  • Page 25: Routine Maintenance

    Routine Maintenance 8.1. Maintenance cleaning This LED beacon requires little to no maintenance other than the occasional cleaning with warm soapy water. Rinse off with clean water. Do not use any solvent-based cleaner. If the beacon is solar powered, panels should be inspected and cleaned occasionally to ensure maximum solar energy capture.
