3.2 Power Entry and Mounting Configurations This section provides information on a variety of power entry and mounting configurations available with the AGSB-L sign. Power entry and mounting configurations vary in TP312 and ICAO markets. This section provides examples and guidance for installation.
AGSB-L LED Airfield Guidance Sign Installation 3.2.1 Power Through Bottom - Remote Mounting (Preferred - Canada) Figure 1 shows details for installations with power through the bottom with remote mounting. This is the preferred mounting configuration for airfield guidance signs in Canada.
AGSB-L LED Airfield Guidance Sign Installation 3.2.3 Power Through Leg - Shallow Base Mounting (Alternate - FAA) Figure 3 shows detail for installations with power through the leg in the case of shallow base remote mounting. This is a preferred alternative mounting configuration for airfield guidance signs. Refer to Table 2 for parts and information.
AGSB-L LED Airfield Guidance Sign Installation 3.3 Cord sets and Extension Cords This section provides information on L-823 cord sets and extension cords commonly used with the AGSF-L LED Airfield Guidance Sign. See Figure 7 and refer to Table 6 for cord set and extension cord types and part codes.
L-867 light base. Typically, the L-867 light base is immediately under the power leg or is at the same end, but not under the power leg. ADB Safegate’ signs are shipped with the sign product label attached to the sign end where the power leg is located.
The bolt length is selected based on the local site conditions and the wind load force on the face of the sign. For additional information see the application drawing 117A0069 on the ADB Safegate Web site Product Center at: http://www.adbsafegate.com...
If the sign pad is tapered in the area where the mounting flanges are located, shims may need to be placed under the mounting flanges to ensure that the coupling frangibility characteristics are the same for each coupling. If in doubt, contact the ADB Safegate Sales Department for further assistance. Figure 14: Sign Frangible Coupling...
AGSB-L LED Airfield Guidance Sign Installation Note On occasion, the windings in the Isolation Transformers may be wired differently. The result will be that the output voltage on the secondary of the isolation transformer will be out of phase when the two transformers are in series.
AGSB-L LED Airfield Guidance Sign Installation Tethers are factory installed and attached to the bottom of the sign. The location and quantity of tethers is determined when the order is placed. Figure 16: Installing Tether 1. Sign frame anchor point, 5/16-18 x 3/4 in stainless-steel bolt.
