1.0 INTRODUCTION

The ACR Field Marker Light System is an evolutionary refinement of signaling technology
that exemplifies how we can improve upon and redefine the application of existing
systems. Working with the United States military, ACR Electronics provided a solution to
a critical combat situation problem.

Under certain circumstances, portable landing field/drop zone lights may, in a hostile
environment, draw fire when activated. By making them remotely controlled, personnel
can get under cover after the lights are placed, reducing the risk of discovery, Once
positioned, the lights need only be turned on for the minimum time needed to bring in
aircraft.

FIELD MARKER LIGHT SYSTEM

They can be activated and deactivated in any sequence by remote control.

The ACR Field Marker System was used during Operation Desert Storm, a testimony to
its readiness, versatility and reliability.

Although the need and the concept had developed from a specific combat situation, ACR's
Field Marker Systems can find applications in other areas as well, using either remote
control or manual activation.

The system can be used for rescue missions by special forces or as a portable landing
system in place of costly permanent air field systems; in military situations, the system can
help guide cargo aircraft for supply drops or deploy airborne forces.

The remote control switching module of the Field Marker Light Systems can be readily
adapted to any situation requiring a remote controlled electrical on/off function. The small
size makes it easy to integrate with any design configuration, and the unit is weather
resistant.

Since the introduction of the Field Marker System, ACR has expanded it to be available in
a sequential version as well.

2.0 COMPLETE SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The ACR/L-32 or L-32RCL may be plugged directly into the BA-4386 or BA-5598
Battery and act as a stand alone, manually controlled light. For remote controlled
operation, the ACR/L-32 may be inserted into the ACR/L32RC which in turn is inserted
into the battery. Remote controlled operation of the ACR/L-32RCL is accomplished by
plugging the unit into the battery, if the light is "off" this is the remote controlled mode.

The combination ACR/L-32/L-32RC (Figure 5) or the ACR/L-32 RCL (Figure 6)
system is operated in conjunction with the PRC-77 or an equivalent FM transmitter to
which the ACR/CC-1 unit is affixed to input ON/OFF codes. Any number of lights may
be operated with the system.
