FTS 370i-2 IR Revision A – 05/17/2019 1
Section 1 - Overview
The FTS 370i-2 IR (Infrared) LED Integrated FAA L-864 Flashing Red Beacon with Radar
Compatible Interface as shown in Figure 1-1, (hereafter referred to as the beacon) is pre-wired
with a power & alarm cable and operates from 120-240VAC 50/60 Hz. The only required
customer connection is the AC line; as the beacon incorporates an integrated controller which
flashes the beacon at night. The unit is equipped with an alarm contact and auxiliary control
input for connection to a radar system interface. The fail-safe design of the interface allows for
operation of the beacon if the radar system control wiring is interrupted. Also incorporated into
the controller is a GPS receiver and antenna, which allows synchronization to other beacons with
no additional wiring. The beacon consists of 24 high-performance LEDs that provide the FAA
required light output while consuming 99% less electrical power than an incandescent fixture.
The beacon incorporates 6 infrared LEDs. The addition of IR ensures visibility of the
obstruction to pilots aided by night vision goggles (NVG). The combination of standard Red
(620nm) LEDs and IR (850nm) LEDs ensures maximum visibility to pilots in all circumstances.
The FTS 370i-2 IR beacon also provide ICAO Medium-intensity, Type B Obstacle Light (Red)
compliance.
The beacon is designed for the lighting of wind turbines, towers, flare stacks, chimneys, offshore
oil platforms, petrochemical facilities and other obstructions to aerial navigation, as specified by
the FAA, FCC, ICAO and Transport Canada.
This manual provides guidance and recommendations for the installation, inspection, and testing
of the beacon assembly. Please read this document in its entirety before installing the beacon.
