Front Panel Controls
Controls and indicators for normal
operation are located on the front panel.
Infrequently used programming switches
are located internally on the main printed
circuit board. The use of these switches,
controls, and indicators is described in
Table 1-1 through Table 1-3.
Tier and Beacon LED Display
A row and column (tier and beacon)
matrix interconnect the two-color LEDs
and they are addressed by coordinate
signals generated on PCB100. Beacons
that are confirming activate the green LED
sections, setting the LEDs to green. Non-
confirming beacons set the red LED
sections (fail), setting the LEDs to red.
Primary/backup systems, such as the CHB
208P, use a slightly different LED
signaling: confirming beacons set the
LEDs to green; beacons whose primary
light is failing but the backup light is
functioning alternately flash the
corresponding LED green, then red; both
lights failing set the LED to red.
You can test these LEDs by using the
Display Test Switch described in Table 1-
2. The Fail/Confirm switch tests the
operation of the LEDs in the indicator
array. The FAIL position sets all the LEDs
to red. The CONFIRM position sets all the
LEDs to green.
Fuses
The F1 fuse is a 1-ampere fuse in the
primary power circuit.
PCB100 Control Board
Switches
Display and Clear Buttons on
PCB100
Green glowing LEDs correspond to
beacons that have not missed flashes. An
LED flashing green, then red, indicates
that the backup lighting unit in a
primary/backup system is in operation
instead of the primary lighting unit. In
such a system, a consistent red LED
indicates that both primary and secondary
lighting units have failed.
The DISPLAY push-button shows red
LEDs for any beacons that have missed
flashes since the memory was reset. The
CLEAR push-button resets the memory.
On-Board Beacon Switches
CROUSE-HINDS preprograms controllers
at the factory for correct installation.
Twenty-eight programming switches, one
for each potential beacon, reside on the
PCB100 printed circuit board. The
switches are arranged by tier and light
(beacon) number, and these correspond to
locations on the structure. Usually the
format is obvious and self-explanatory,
such as Beacon 2, Tier 3. For every
beacon on the structure, the corresponding
switch must be closed; all other switches
must be left open.
Programming
Programming alters the controller
operation to fit a particular arrangement of
beacons in tiers on a structure, or allows
specific types of system operation.
Switches on PCB100 configure the
controller to the tower lighting
arrangement. Jumpers on PCB100
configure the controller for dual, catenary,
or 50HZ operation.
