3.0 Introduction
This section describes the L-827/ L-829 Advanced Control Equipment (ACE2
™
).
Note
ACE and ACE2 are trademarks of ADB Airfield Solutions.
The ACE2 operates either as the remote interface between the L-890 ALCMS and any controlled element in the airfield
lighting vault or as the stand-alone regulator/monitor performing all L-827/L-829 functions in accordance with FAA AC 150 /
5345-10F. The ACE2 is a universal device that can be used to control any type of CCR and/or controlled element regardless of
the manufacturer.
L-827/L-829 ACE2
The ACE2 can be physically packaged as a Combo Box-Mount (
Figure 3 ), a Wall-Mount ( Figure 1 ), or a CCR Internal-Mount
( Figure 2 ). The Combo Box Assembly is a wall-mount version, which houses the ACE2 controller board, the IRMS board, and
the CVM. The Remote-Mount is typically placed on top of the CCR. The Wall-Mount is usually bolted to a wall or can be
mounted on the front of a CCR. The internal-mount is mounted inside a ADB Airfield Solutions L-828 CCR. This combination is
called an L-829 CCR.

Overview
The ACE2 can operate either as the remote interface between the L-890 ALCMS and any controlled element in the airfield
lighting vault or as the stand-alone constant current regulator (CCR) monitor, performing all L-827/L-829 functions in
accordance with FAA AC 150 /5345-10. The ACE2 is a universal device that can be used to control any type of CCR and/or
controlled element regardless of the manufacturer.
The ACE2 can be packaged as a remote mount, wall mount, CCR internal mount, or Combo Box. A remote mount is typically
placed on top of the CCR. The wall mount is typically bolted to a wall or can be mounted on the front of a CCR. The internal
mount is mounted inside a ADB Safegate L-828 CCR (Also called a L-829 CCR). The Combo Box Assembly is a wall-mount
version, which houses the ACE controller board. The Combo Box Assembly also houses the IRMS board and the CVM, which
are normally mounted inside a ADB Safegate L-829 CCR.
Each CCR and controllable item is connected to an ACE2. The ACE2 is a microprocessor-based module that includes all of the
communication, control commands, input/output inter-face, and fail-safe functionality for the controlled element.
Note
For those applications that require:
•
Connection with up to a four-circuit L-847
•
Up to eight discrete input or outputs
Use ADB SAFEGATE's first generation ACE system. Request data sheet 2016 for more information.
