2.2.4 Radio Control
Restrictions
Use air-to-ground Radio Control at uncontrolled airports or at controlled airports during
periods when the Air Traffic Control tower is closed. Except for obstruction lights and the
airport beacon, all other lighting systems on the airport may be operated by air-to-ground
Radio Control.
2.2.5 Interfacing the Radio
Controller
You can directly connect the Radio Controller to the control interface of the airfield lighting
power regulators, to an L-890 ALCMS system, or use a relay interface panel to provide
additional switching capabilities or reduce the load on the Radio Controller. Configure the
Radio Control system so the runway lights are on whenever the other lighting systems serving
the runway are on, except during daytime operations.
Configure the Radio Control system with a day mode to power only those lighting systems
that are useful during the day. This mode can be selected automatically by means of a
photocell or by a manual switch. Using the day mode, however, means that the daytime IFR
procedures associated with the deactivated lighting systems cannot be used.
In areas with heavy voice traffic on the Radio Controller frequency, there may be nuisance
activation due to random microphone clicks. The Decoder Disable can be wired through the
terminal block to an external switch, relay or external photocell. Placing a jumper or closed
switch between terminals 1 and 3 of the terminal block will disable the decoder. See Table 4.
When the air-to-ground Radio Control is used at night, the lighting system may not be
powered for long periods of time. The default setting for the controller is the recommended
FAA time of 15 minutes. Other times of 30, 45 or 60 minutes can be selected from the front
panel.
