2.3 Installation
This section provides instructions for installing the L-862S light fixture. Refer to the airport
project plans and specifications for the specific installation instructions.
2.3.1 Unpacking
The equipment is shipped ready for installation. Handle equipment very carefully to prevent
component damage. Unpack the carton upon receipt and check the contents and their
condition. Note any exterior damage to the carton that might lead to detection of equipment
damage.
If you note any damage to any equipment, file a claim with the carrier immediately
The carrier may need to inspect the equipment.
2.3.2 Installation
Instructions
This subsection describes procedures for installing the L-862S light fixture. Installing the light
fixture involves placing the light fixtures, mounting the base, installing the base, and installing
the light fixture.
NOTE:
Check the packing list with the parts list to verify that all parts are present before
proceeding. Refer to the
Parts
section.
2.3.3 Light Fixture
Placement
L-862S elevated stop bar lights are installed with the in-pavement stop bar lights on each side
of the taxiway. They are located not more than 10 feet (3 m) from the defined edge of the
taxiway. For airports that perform any snow removal operations, if taxiway edge lights are
present, the elevated stop bar light should not be installed closer to the taxiway edge than the
line of taxiway edge lights. This is to help prevent the elevated stop bar light from being struck
by snow removal equipment.
To avoid conflicts with taxiway edge lights or undesirable spots, the elevated stop bar lights
may be moved up to 10 feet (3 m) farther from the runway, but may not be moved toward the
runway. Refer to FAA specification AC 150/5340-30.
2.3.4 Base Mounting
This subsection provides installation instructions for mounting the L-867 light base.
See Figure 2. The L-862S light fixtures (1) can be mounted on an L-867 light base (3) with a
2-inch hub mated with a base plate (2) with a diameter and bolt-hole circle corresponding to
either a 12-inch (304.8-mm) or 16-inch (406.4-mm) L-867 base. The base plate has a female
thread to receive a frangible column. A gasket is used with the base plate to form a
watertight seal between the base plate and the L-867 base.
WARNING
Allow only qualified personnel to perform the following tasks. Observe and follow the safety
instructions in this document and all other related documentation.
