2.3 Introduction to RELIANCE IL
The ADB SAFEGATE RELIANCE IL is one module of the Control System for Airfield Lighting (COSAL).The RELIANCE IL system
(formerly called SCROLL) is fully integrated into the COSAL system and extends the functionality of conventional serious
circuits providing control and monitoring features for individual lights, light segments or sensors using the serious circuit
itself. RELIANCE IL needs no additional communications cable. That is why it is an important component of a modular A-
SMGCS concept.
The ADB SAFEGATE RELIANCE IL consists of SRU remotes (also named RU) with FAA compliant connectors and a Control and
Communication Unit (Central Unit, CU). The remotes are installed between the series circuit transformers and the Constant
Current Regulator (CCR). The CU is installed directly into a slot of the CCR.
The close interaction between the CCR and CU, that is achieved by means of the internal communications connection, is a
crucial prerequisite required to avoid overvoltages. Overvoltages are found in many systems, especially when huge light
segments are switched all at once.
