Overview
The Dialight Flashing Red Beacon is designed for the lighting of radio towers, wind generators and other obstructions to aerial navigation, as specified by the FAA, FCC, ICAO and Transport Canada.
The L-864 Series D464 Infrared (IR) obstruction light incorporates both Red and IR LEDs in a single unit to ensure visibility around military bases, airfield perimeters, buildings, towers and other obstructions for aircraft pilots, both during normal flight or when aided by night vision systems. Night Vision Goggles (NVGs) and Aviator’s Night Vision Imaging System (ANVIS) often employ Class A, B, and C filters. These filters can reduce LED sources that emit light in the visible spectrum. The Vigilant L-864 D464 Series overcomes this obstacle by combining visible red LEDs and IR LEDs in a single unit.
The L-864 Flashing Red Beacon as shown in Figure 1,(hereafter referred to as the Beacon) operates from 120 / 240VAC 50/60 Hz. The beacon consists of visible-light and Infrared-light, high Performance LED’s that provide the light output equivalent to an incandescent fixture while consuming a fraction of the electrical power. This manual provides guidance andrecommendations for the installation and testing of the beacon assembly. Please read this document in its entirety before installing the Beacon.
