Page 17: Introduction
2.0 Introduction The RELIANCE Approach Flash System, referred to as SFL, serves as a sequential approach flash lighting system and threshold identification lighting system at airports. It meets all the requirements of ICAO Annex 14 and the requirements for military lighting systems in compliance with STANAG 3316 and the “Manual for Lighting Systems”.
Page 18: System Architecture
Introduction 2.2 System architecture In the RELIANCE Approach Flash System, referred to as the SFL, instead of the traditional gaseous-discharge technology, lights with modern light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are used as the light source. The white high-performance LEDs generate the light flash using an extremely short light pulse with very high peak brightness.
Page 19 Approach Flash System, referred to as SFL, consists of a control unit, main chain (SFL - light 1..30), threshold identification (TIL - light 31..32) and power distribution units (1..32). The RELIANCE SFL system enables following static (installation) or dynamic (configuration settings) system configurations: •...
