How Does the System Work? The Avlite ALS System works by using a hand held radio controller to activate and setup an entire airfield, airport or air base. The system utilises an embedded R/F module operating in the 2.4Ghz ISM Band.
The AV-72-RF lights are available with optional external momentary button for manual light operation. The momentary button may be incorporated in the AV-72-RF for emergency use or in case the radio controller is lost or damaged. This button enables the user to manually turn the light on and step through the three different intensity levels.
The unit allows you to roam around the airfield for easy activation, inspection and testing of the airfield lights. The Avlite Radio Controller works on the 2.4GHz ISM Band using a low power RF module. The backlit, LCD can be seen during day or night. The straightforward menu makes the ALS easy to operate.
Unpack all hardware and verify container contents in accordance with Fig. 4 & 5. Please contact your Avlite office if there is any hardware missing.
