7 Operation
In normal operational mode the channels are activated from 5 sources:
1)
Start-up
– On first power-up of the unit (or after a power cut)
2)
Wired Inputs
– Either switch or relay contacts
Channels triggered via 1 and 2 have no timeouts and stay on until turned off
3) Keypad
4) VHF
5) SMS
Channels triggered via 3, 4 and 5 have timeouts and stay on until:
1) Turned off by timeout
2) They are turned off by the Manager, or
3) A new channel is triggered
By default, activating any channel will turn on both the Windsock and Relay.
In this version of SMS the Beacon trigger channels can be set and in future versions the Windsock
will have the same options.
In some territories it is necessary to flash the windsock a defined period before the main lighting
circuit times-out. e.g.
CASA MoS Part 139 compliance (Australian Civil Aviation) requires:
9.3.1.5
Ten minutes before the aerodrome lighting system is due to turn OFF, the PAL must cause the lights of at
least the primary Illuminated Wind Direction Indicator (IWDI), in accordance with Paragraph 9.6.1.10, to commence to
flash at approximately 50 cycles per minute (approximately 0.6 seconds ON and 0.6 seconds OFF), and continue to
flash until either:
(a) the PAL system switches OFF, and all aerodrome lighting, including the IWDI lights, is extinguished; or
(b) the PAL system has been reset for another ON period.
This requirement is fully supported by the RLC and is setup via SMS. Once active, the Windsock
relay can be heard engaging and dropping out and the windsock indicator on the LCD will flash.
7.1 Activated via Start-Up
This option is due for inclusion in the next release of SMS.
If a channel is selected to be on at Start-up, at power-up that channel will come on and remain on
until a further command is given, either to turn it off or to select another channel.
The LCD screen will show the channel that is on, the access route (Start-up) and who turned it on
(Anyone). Note that legends W&B refer to the Windsock and Beacon respectively. Here case both
have come on with channel 1.
