Lights with radios that have needed one or more automatic restarts will identify themselves to the remote
operator by responding with five flashes:
To send the Radio Health Diagnose (Clear) command to the lights:
Press
FLASH
Press
ENTER
All lights will flash five times indicating the radio health count has been cleared. A subsequent Radio
Health Diagnose command will not produce a five-flash response until the radio module is restarted.
To exit Diagnose Mode on the controller:
Press DIAGNOSE (The DIAGNOSE LED starts flashing)
Press ENTER (The DIAGNOSE LED turns off)
5.7.3 Group
Control
Up to eight individual groups of lights can be created, with any number of lights included in each group,
and controlled independently. This feature provides added flexibility in controlling a complete airfield
lighting system. The controller sends commands to one or more groups indicated by the LEDs on the
controller labeled Active Groups. The factory default setting has all lights initially assigned to group one.
Each light can be assigned to only one group at a time, but can be easily reassigned to another group as
required. To select one or more groups of lights to control:
Press SELECT GROUP.
Press the group number(s) using the buttons 1 through 8.
Press
ENTER.
Commands entered now apply only to the groups indicated by the Active Group LEDs.
5.7.4 Configure
Groups
To configure a subset of lights as a group:
Enter Configure Mode on the controller:
Press CONFIG (The CONFIG LED starts flashing)
Press ENTER (The CONFIG LED is on)
Then send the Configure Group command to the lights:
Choose a number from 1 through 8 for the new group. Press the corresponding number on the
keypad.
For each individual light you wish to add to the selected group, press the switch on each light. The
light is now prepared to receive its group assignment. The light will listen for its group assignment for
5 minutes
Press ENTER on the controller to assign the group
The controller will transmit the group assignments and the light will flash to indicate
acceptance. Do not use the switch on lights that you do not want in the new group
while the group assignment process is underway. They will be added to the group.
When you provide group assignments, lights that are already members of that group
will remain members after the assignment process is complete. This means that you
can add lights to a group as you go, without having to re-assign all lights in the group
Any one light cannot be a member of more than one group.
