Mechanical Description

Construction
The common parts of the VLB-67 are the beacon head, the
base, and the connecting seal.
The SA-Stand Alone model consists of these 3 parts and
has a 1.5metre 3 core cable fitted to provide the power
connection for the beacon. This cable also contains the
wire for the sync signal.
The
SS-Standard Solar and LS1 and LS2- Large Solar self-
contained models have the solar power system consisting
of solar panel assembly and battery.
The plastic body and base of the VLB-67 beacon is made
from Nylon and has a 30 percent glass fill. The coloured
top of the Beacon is made from ASA plastic. The lens is
moulded from optical grade acrylic.
The VLB-67 LED Beacon is assembled and sealed using
self-tapping fasteners into the Glass Filled Nylon parts.
This assembly method is not designed for frequent
disassembly and reassembly of the beacon. There should
be no need to disassemble the beacon other than to
change the battery once or twice during the Beacon’s
lifetime. Disassembly of the Beacon should be kept to a
minimum to ensure the proper sealing.
