2.2 AGLAS Remote Introduction
2.2.1 General
The AGLAS Remotes are intelligent powerline addressable field devices that operate on the secondary side of airfield isolation
transformers. They serve as slave nodes in a master/slave network that is controlled by a AGLAS Master. The AGLAS Remote is
available in the following four versions:
— AGLAS Remote single channel
for controlling one light (airfield ground lighting)
— AGLAS Remote dual channel
for controlling two lights (airfield ground lighting)
— AGLAS Remote RGL single channel
for network-synchronized blinking after switching on, without master synchronization (Runway Guard Light)
— AGLAS Remote RGL dual channel
for continuous, network-synchronized, alternating blinking of both channels after switching on, without master
synchronization (Runway Guard Light)
In terms of construction, they differ in the number of channels which in turn determines the number of lights that can be
switched.
RGL Remotes leave the factory with a special configuration that ensures synchronous start-up after power-up of the regulator and
network-synchronized blinking without master synchronization. The factory setting also includes the choice whether the blinking
is to start with “initial flash On” or “Off”. This option makes it possible to have different groups of Remotes flash alternately,
leveling the load on the constant current regulator caused by synchronous switching of all groups of Remotes.
In the following sections all four devices will be referred to as AGLAS Remotes.
