AV-426-ICAO
Radio Controlled Solar Aviation Light
Runway End Identifier Light (REIL)
The AV-426-ICAO is available in a REIL configuration. The AV-426-ICAO-REIL-W must be ordered
preset from the factory. It is not possible to configure a REIL from a standard AV-426-ICAO runway
edge light.
REILS will be pre-programmed and clearly labelled upon dispatch. REILS from the same light group
and same REIL group must be installed together.
The recommended flash character for a REIL is 112 (120 FPM).
Light groups
Light groups are used to enable control of separate sections of the airfield lighting system. For
example, Runway1, Runway 2, Taxiway, Obstruction and REILS can all be independently controlled by
the ALS RF controller. This function allows the Air Traffic controller to turn on or off different sections of
the airfield as required.
Please refer to
Radio Control System Setup
, Section 2, Programming the light using the cable
interface and handheld controller, paragraph D on light groups for information on how to set a light
group.
REIL Groups
A REIL group is the group of lights that will flash in sync together. REILS from different REIL groups will
not flash in sync together.
When installing 2 pairs of REILS on the airfield one pair at each end, it is advisable to ensure they are
in different light groups and different REIL groups.
