FTS 830 Current Driven Airport Lighting

The FTS 830 is a current-driven unidirectional approach light that identifies runway end or the acquisition of an active runway. It can be used as a simple runway end identifier lights (REIL) or as an addition to complete any number of approach light systems like MALSR, MALSF, SSALSR, ALSF I and II for runway alignment and runway threshold marking.

The flashhead and power converter may be mounted together to form a single unit or separately to adapt to specific terrain needs.

• Compatible with air-to-ground radio controllers and ground-to-ground remote systems
• Modular design for easy maintenance
• Powered and controlled from constant level current, in series line
• Longer flashtube life due to low voltage (±500VDC) required for operation
• Can be set for single-step or three-step intensity
• Intensity stepping is controlled by the level of current from the constant current regulator (CCR)
• Designed to operate with an L-828 CCR
