9 Installation
Installation of the FEC Remote Lighting Controller must be carried out by a suitably qualified
electrician with full authority to undertake work in the safety critical environment of a helipad.
It is recommended that a formal Statement of Works, Standard Operating Procedure or similar is
created and used for the initial installation and testing and all subsequent test and maintenance
activities to ensure the safety of the installation and personnel.
9.1 Locating the Controller
The controller should be located in a secure location that is easy for operational staff to access the
keypad and screen and appropriate for the aerials, mains and circuit wiring.
The enclosure is intended for wall mounting and, with suitable rails or adaptors, can be frame or
pole mounted. Appendix 6 has a full size template for the mounting holes.
Although the enclosure is IP65 rated, a sheltered location is recommended.
Keep in mind that the controller will need:
1) Mains electricity supply and connection to the circuits to be controlled
2) An external VHF aerial connected, and
3) An external Cell aerial (if option selected).
It is recommended that a mobile (cell) phone, on the same network as that intended for the
controller, is used to check the signal strength/quality in the intended location if Cell option
selected.
9.2 Things you will need
Before starting the installation ensure that you have at least the following items in addition to those
required for the rest of the installation:
1) A No.2 Philips (PH2) or No. 2 Pozidrive (PZ2) screwdriver to open the main enclosure.
2) Small (3mm) slotted head screwdriver
3) Fixing screws and wall plugs as required.
9.3 Preparing for Installation
Lay the controller on its back on a clean soft surface at least twice the width of the unit and undo
the four corner retaining screws (note these screws are ‘captive’ and do not need to be fully
removed).
Gently lift the front of the enclosure away from the base and lay face down to the left of the base
unit. Be careful not to strain the cables as this could cause permanent damage.
Disconnect the following cables from the keypad enclosure:
1) Main power and relay cable
2) VHF SMA Aerial cable, and
3) Auxiliary/BMS/Meteorological connection cable (if fitted)
Note: 1) and 3) have retaining screws. Use a small slotted head screwdriver to remove and use a
small amount of Loctite 248 Medium Strength thread locking compound on re-assembly.
The unit may be fitted with a wrap-tie transit strap around the PSU. This may be cut off at this
stage.
