3 3 I. SAFETY OTICES This equipment is normally used or connected to circuits that may employ voltages which are dangerous and may be fatal if accidentally contacted by operating or maintenance personnel. Extreme caution should be exercised when working with this equipment. While practical safety precautions have been incorporated in this equipment, the following rules must be strictly observed: KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS Operating and maintenance personnel must at all times observe all safety regulations. Do not perform maintenance on internal components or re-lamp with power O. RESUSCITATIO Maintenance personnel should familiarize themselves with the technique for resuscitation found in widely published manuals of first aid instructions. IMPORTAT OTICES: Be certain this is the correct lighting system for the project. Verify the lighting system and equipment received are in accordance with the project specifications. Locations on Hot AM towers, High RF antennas, hazardous areas due to explosive gas, fumes, dust, salt air or other highly corrosive/chemical environments often require special components or system modification for proper function and system longevity. A schematic-wiring blueprint drawing is supplied and included with the controller. Reference must be made to the drawing before making any wiring connections. This manual of instructions outlines the function of the controller and its components. There should be no maintenance performed on the OLC or the system without reference to the manual and the OLC schematic wiring. The relays are factory preset for their indicated operations. Changing the switch selections will cause a malfunction of the circuit and may damage the relay. For applications using fewer than the designated number of lights for a given OLC, note the following: For fewer double obstruction lights, do not wire the appropriate alarm relays to the alarm circuit (unused alarm relays will indicate a fault).

4 4 II. IPUT POWER Power to the Obstruction Lighting Controller (OLC) is either 120VAC, 50/60HZ or 230VAC, 50/60HZ. Controller circuit protection (fuse or circuit breaker) for incoming power is external and provided by others. It is important to use the specific OLC schematic-wiring diagram together with this manual. III. ISTALLATIO Mount the controller cabinet in a vertical position ensuring the cabinet is level and there is ample space to mount the unit. The enclosure is provided with bracket mounting feet at the top and bottom back edges for use against a vertical surface or frame. Be sure the mounting location is square so as not to twist or warp the enclosure during mounting. Prior to wiring the controller to incoming power and loads, make sure all hardware and electrical connections have not loosened during shipping. Wire and conduit entrances and their location on the cabinet are to be provided by the installer. On some lighting controllers, knockout openings are provided on the cabinet. All cabinet openings should be from the bottom of the enclosure. Wiring entrances for power input, external photo control leads, and external lighting loads should be located opposite to their terminal connections, if possible. The external Photoelectric Control should be located near the controller and must also have the wiring and conduit enter through the bottom of the unit. Refer to the PCR instructions for proper location and circuit wiring. Standard and special lighting controllers incorporate a ground lug (GD) normally located at the lower right corner of the interior back panel. It is near the power input terminals and it is comprised of a box lug or singular screw-hold lug, which is fastened to the metal back panel. The metal back panel is secured to the enclosure housing forming a solid equipment ground path through an attached conductor from the ground lug to external ground (earth). A green colored wire ( # 8 - # 10 AWG stranded copper conductor ) should be used for connection from the ground lug to an external ground (earth). The system neutral is OT considered a grounded contact and must OT be connected to the ground lug or controller chassis. The purpose of grounding is to protect equipment, personnel, and circuits by eliminating the possibility of dangerous fault current or excessive voltages. The equipment ground for the controller s metal enclosure that contains electrical wires or component devices is there to eliminate the possibility that an insulation failure in such an enclosure might place a potential (voltage) on the enclosure and constitute a shock or fire hazard. The OLC ground lug is provided to fulfill the requirement of the ational Electric Code for fault current protection.

5 5 IV. OPERATIO All wiring from the Obstruction Lighting Controller (OLC) power input and lighting circuits must be connected to their proper terminals. Reference should be made to the accompanying schematic/ wiring diagram. After all wiring is secured to the controller and the photoelectric controller the system is ready to operate. The Controller s over current protection shall be made with a fuse or circuit breaker at the power source provided by others. Refer to the controller drawing for line input and wattage rating. OLC controllers are energized either through a contactor and PCR or directly by the PCR. If no contactor is required, the PCR contacts are rated to supply the current demand of that particular controller. The OLC incorporates a PCR Override Switch (auto/manual) which allows for automatic control of the OLC by the PCR or switched to a manual mode which overrides the PCR during daylight for preventative maintenance. There must be no wiring changes made in the PCR override switching of the photo-electric control. Circuitry for the PCR is detailed in the accompanying instructions shipped with the PCR.

7 7 B. RED BEACO FLASHERS The flasher circuitry consists of a master flasher module and one or more auxiliaries (AUX) where the number of LED beacons warrants their use. The flash rate is 30 ± 10 flashes per minute per FAA specifications. Output of the flasher is 3 amperes maximum. Failure of the flasher creates a fail-safe condition in which the beacon lamps will continue to burn in a steady state and maintain its safety warning function. There is a flasher failure alarm relay to also insure this fail safe condition is met. In the event of a flasher failure, the flasher fail alarm relay will also provide a remote alarm output. P/: Flasher and AUX circuitry are protected against shock, vibration and humidity. Each module has internal transient protection. The normal operating temperature is -40 F to +150 F. There are no moving contacts, moving parts, or adjustments in the flasher or auxiliary modules.

10 10 E. RED BEACO FLASHER ALARM RELAY The OLC utilizes an alarm module (FFA) that constantly monitors the output voltage of the solid state flasher. Should the flasher fail in a steady OPE or CLOSED status, the alarm module will energize relay K-1 and energize the FFA alarm relay. P/: F. ISOLATED ALARM COTACTS for Remote Annunciation Isolated alarm contacts consist of individual relays with SPST isolated contacts. The relays have LED indication when energized. The alarm relays are de-energized when conditions are good. The GT relay is energized at night only. Contact Rating: 250 VAC 30 VDC

11 11 VI. PHOTOELECTRIC COTROL (PCR). P/ / The PCR is designed and calibrated to meet both the FAA and FCC regulation. The PCR must be mounted in a vertical position. The PCR should face the ORTH (polar sky) away from the Sun's rays and away from sunlight reflections. The PCR should protrude above the height of nearby structures or other obstructions that might cast shadows upon the PCR's window. The PCR is used for automatic switching of the load circuits. It is located externally from the controller cabinet. When wiring the PCR to the controller, use # 12 AWG stranded wire conductors. The PCR override switch on the front door of the OLC cabinet is used to bypass the PCR permitting the lights to be turned on manually. The PCR switch allows the beacon and side lights to be energized during daylight when the photoelectric controller would normally have the lights out. This is a maintenance feature. The switch should be in the automatic (auto) mode for normal operation. ote: When the PCR is connected properly and the test switch is set to "Auto", the Red LED on the PCR will be energized.
