5” Configuration:
For installation in tarmac or concrete helipads it is recommended to use the Avlite AV-MC-58, 5” (inch)
inset shallow base taking into consideration site specific bearing load, leveling and thermal bonding.
For installations using the 5” inset base configuration, the installation location of each light needs to be
prepared in accordance with the below mechanical specifications:
8” Configuration:
For installations where there are pre-existing 8” mounting locations or 8” mounting is desired then the
Avlite AV-MC-55 ,5” to 8”, adaptor ring and AV-MC-54, 8” inset shallow base is required.

prepared in accordance with the below mechanical specifications:
Direct Mounting:
For installations where direct mounting of the light fixture to a metal helipad surface is desired,
the mounting surface of each light must be prepared in accordance with the following mechanical
specification ensuring the mounting surface is level and has adequate heat dissipation characteristics.
Example Helipad Installation
The recommended mechanical layout for the lighting system on an example helipad is detailed below:
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The procedure for connecting the inset light fixture to the corresponding electrical connections is as
follows:
•
Feed input and output cables through corresponding side mounted gland on inset base
•
Connect each conductor of input cable to separate joint connector (not supplied). One for
+24VDC, one for GND (0VDC) and one for Dim (0-10V) control line.
•
Connect each conductor of output cable to corresponding joint connector
•
Connect each conductor of light fly lead to corresponding joint connector as per table
•
Tighten each cable gland to ensure sealing
Note:
Do not cut or modify the fly lead attached to the AV-HLI2 light fixture
