4 OPERATION
To configure the obstruction light, open the three M6 screws that secure the lower flange to the chassis
using a hex key and pull out the PCB. Using the configuration DIP switches, configure the desired
parameters into the light. The DIP switches are numbered 1-8. Embedded software in the obstruction light
reads configuration switches regularly. Configuration change becomes effective within a few seconds.
The light can be configured between two different operating modes. Light reset is needed when changing
between the modes.
Stand-alone mode:
In this mode, the light operation is configured with its DIP switches. No additional
controllers are needed. Light head will use its internal photocell to determine the time of day (day, twilight or
night). The light will change its flashing mode based on photocell data and how the user has configured the
light. Light heads will synchronize their flashing with the built-in GPS module. After light head start-up, it will
take some time for the light head to acquire a GPS lock.
Modbus mode:
In this mode, the light is being controlled with an additional Obelux controller. If connection
is lost to the controller, the light will keep working on its own. It will use its internal photocell and GPS to
synchronize flashing and determine the time of day. The light will return to normal operation when the
connection is recovered.
