6.0 Operation and Setup
Avlite’s A1 Obstruction Lighting Solution Kit consists of five components: A Control Unit
which provides power, day & night control and (optional) remote monitoring, a single L-864
red Medium Intensity obstruction beacon, and three L-810(F) red obstruction lights.
Both the L-864 and L-810(F) incorporate internal diagnostic checking and an alarm contact
for remote monitoring. The alarm relay is energized in normal operation and is released if
there is an LED or power fault.
An External Photocell allows the lights to automatically switch between day and night
mode. In night mode, all lights flash in synchronization with one another via integrated
GPS synchronisation, per the guidelines in the FAA 7460-1L Advisory Circular for lighting
A1 structures. In day mode, all lights are not illuminated. The Photocell output can also be
overridden for system testing and maintenance via the Photocell Bypass Switch. (See
section 6.1.3 for more information).
The Control Unit automatically evaluates the A1 lights for operation and performance while
providing local and remote display of information and alarms; operators can conveniently
view the lights’ real time status from the web based Star2M™ portal.
