Dear customer,
by buing the Electronic Rotating Beacon2-H you choose a highly innovative product which contributes to a saver airspace.
The new LED technology allows an incredibly excellent, red light with only approx. 10% of the input power compared with conventional lights.
The efficiency of the output is much higher compared with conventional electric light bulbs. This increases the visibleness of the aircraft in flight
considerably.
The casting in a high-optical plastic makes the ERB2-H absolutely insensitive against water, vibrations and other environmental influence.
The self-warming of the ERB2-H is low. To avoid overheating in any case, the heat balance is controlled electronically.
The ERB2-H has additionally a serial FLARM-Interface. With this interface (19.200 Baud, 8 Bit, No Parity, 1 Stop-Bit) a Power-FLARM unit can
send the emergency level (0-3) and thus control the action replay of the ERB2-H.
The ERB2-H is part of our energy-saving strategy „Intelligent Synchronisation“. This increases the visibility of aircrafts and improves the energy
manangement at the same time. Available elements of the Intelligent Synchronisation are: EPL2, EPTA-LSA, ACL3is, ERBis, ERB-H, ACL4,
ERB2, ELL50, ELL50L, ELL60, ELL80is, ERB-His, ERB-SF.
The ERB2-H should be mounted to a suitable position e.g. on top of the tail fin.
Please note and proceed to the recommended mounting instructions for proper functioning.
The light radiation angle complies with the rquirements for the general aviation.
Necessary materials and tools:
l
3-core wire, 5-8 meters depending on the fuselage
l
1-core wire with braiding screen
l
Silicone glue
l
Metal gripper clamp (non-corroding metal)
l
Soldering iron
l
Electronic solder
l
Shrink hose (enclosed)
Our recommendations:
Cable
We recommend a triple core, flexible and twisted cable with a cross section of at least 1.5 mm² and a minimum of 0.5 mm² for the
synchronisation cable. In case of doubt, you can order the suitable cable from Thiesen Electronics GmbH.
To twist the cable prevents from interfering voltage caused by radio frequency.
For the connection with the FLARM-output the 1-core wire with a braiding screen.
Adhesion
We recommend standard silicone glue in a tube. It is available in do-it-yourself markets. This adhesion is strong and in case of a dismantling you
only need a sharp knife. We strongly advise against using other kinds of adhesion, like polyester or epoxy resin.
Mounting
Put some silcone glue on the bottom of the ERB2-H and fix it with the metal gripper clamp on the tail fin.
By the use of silicone, twisting of the ERB2-H is prevented and sealing against dirt and water is guaranteed. Use only clamps that do not
corrode!
The ERB2-H must be mounted parallel to the longitudinal axis and vertically to the yaw axis of the aircraft. (
see illustration 1
)
Mountingposition
For the best mounting position also refer to the recommendations of the aircraft manufacturer.
Pasting
Apply only as much silicone as required to paste the ERB plane (
see illustration 1
).
Silicone needs time to cure (vaporization of acetic acid). The best results are achieved at a temperature of 20° Celsius (68°Fahrenheit). Just
follow the handling instructions of the silicone. The final firmness (stability) will be reached after a few days.
