2.4 Wireless Hand-Held Controller

SEPS can be controlled using the Wireless Hand-Held Controller in a similar manner to ADB Safegate’s wireless solar lights.

One or more wireless solar lights can be remotely operated from the ground or air with a hand-held wire-less controller using a secure radio transceiver with antenna and keypad.

The hand-held remote control option allows the user to temporarily override the intensity set in the autonomous modes. In temporary mode, 10%, 30% and 100% intensities can be selected for a 15-minute Time-Out or a Maximum Time-Out.

The 15-minute Time-Out option is for only momentary intensity brightness operations of the SSS for airports that actively manage their airfields. After 15 minutes, the SSS will be return to the autonomous configuration.

The Maximum Time-Out option is for airports that require “the most intensity for as long as possible.” The SEPS software prevents the battery from being ON indefinitely at the chosen intensity, thereby preventing battery full discharge. To determine the maximum activation time for each selected intensity and region, see Table 1.

2.4.1 Features

— Water-resistant keypad and LED indicators — Utilizes a secure wireless RF signal — Control range of up to 2.5 miles — Meets MIL-SPEC-810E environmental requirements — 24-hour operation on a single charge — Rechargeable lithium-ion battery (included); recharges via an AC/DC wall plug (included) — Compatible with stand-alone aviation ba nd VH F recei ver — Comes complete in a custom Pelican™ case

2.5.1 Solar Panel Orientation

Full solar exposure is critical to the performance of the SWCS. Ensure that the SEPS installation location has year-round, unrestricted sun exposure throughout the day. The bottom edge of the solar panels should be installed at a minimum height to clear growing vegetation and snow at the site.

NOTE: Shading even a small portion of the solar panel will significantly reduce the output of the SWCS.

96A0492 Rev. A

2.5.2 Theory of Operation

The ADB Safegate SEPS is factory configured to work autonomously for either dusk-to-dawn or for 24-hour period operation. On autonomous mode the product turns on at the intensity that is sustainable in that solar region. See Table 8 and Figure 2 for % intensity by solar region.

SEPS has the option to be controlled remotely with a Hand Held Radio Control. The wireless handheld controller allows for intensity adjustment, some configuring, and grouping of loads. One of the benefits of radio controller is that the user can temporary override the autonomous intensity factory settings. However there is a limitation on the amount of hours the SRGLS can operate at different intensities.

SEPS can be controlled using the Wireless Hand-Held Controller in a similar manner to ADB Safegate’s wireless solar lights.

One or more wireless solar lights can be remotely operated from the ground or air with a hand-held wireless controller using a secure radio transceiver with antenna and keypad.

The hand-held remote control option allows the user to temporarily override the intensity set in the autonomous modes. In temporary mode, 10%, 30%, 100% intensities can be selected for a 15 minute Time-Out or a maximum Time-Out.

The 15-minute Time-Out option is for only momentary intensity brightness operations of the SRGLS for airports that actively manage their airfields. After 15 minutes, the SRGLS will be return to the autonomous configuration.

The maximum Time-Out option is for airports that require “the most intensity for as long as possible”. The SEPS software prevents the battery from being ON indefinitely at the chosen intensity, thereby preventing battery full discharge. To determine the maximum activation time for each selected intensity and region, See Table 8.

The minimum autonomy or operational days without charging is 7 days and the battery daily depth of discharge is sized for a minimum of 5 years of service.

WARNING

Continuous selection of the temporary mode will exceed the maximum allocated t ime perio d of opera tion in table 2, and will cause the bat tery to

drain

3.3 General Guidelines

WARNING

• Signs must be grounded to a true earth ground. Failure to observe this warning may result in personal injury, death, or equipment damage.

• When installing signs, follow the guidelines covered in FAA AC 150/5340-30, Fig 126 for mounting pad design. Also see the following subsections for detailed information on sign pad and leveling of the sign.

• FAILURE TO INSTALL AND LEVEL THE SIGN AS DESCRIBED IN THE VARIOUS SUBSECTIONS BELOW WILL VOID THE WARRANTY

• Mount the signs on a concrete slab or concrete pedestals

• Do not allow concrete edges to protrude above grade.

• Provide power to the signs through breakaway cable connectors installed within the frangible coupling portion of the sign’s

mounting legs.

• Install auxiliary equipment, such as isolation transformers, in a light base embedded in the ground.

3.3.1 Overall Mounting Height

Install signs so that the overall height above the surrounding ground of the sign assembly, including mounting supports, does not exceed heights given in Table 3 and the clearances of aircraft wings as specified in AC 150/5340-18. The sign must provide 12 inches (304.8 mm) of clearance between the top of the sign and any part of the most critical aircraft using, or expected to use, the airport when the aircraft’s wheels are at the pavement edge. For overall mounting height, refer to AC 150/5345-44.

3.3.2 Sign Orientation

When orienting signs follow the guidelines below

• Orient the sign so that the face is perpendicular to the centerline of the taxiway or runway.

NOTE: Check site plans and specifications for the location of the power leg (leg where the L-823 cord set is located) in reference to the L-867 light base. Typically, the L-867 light base is immediately under the power leg or is at the same end, but not under the power leg. ADB Safegate, Americas’ signs are shipped with the sign product label attached to the sign end where the power leg is located. In addition, verify that the sign legend is orientated correctly to the taxiway or runway per the site plans when the sign is installed on the pad. If the sign legend location is not correct, then the panels must be removed and reinstalled in the sign in the correct location.

• For special situations refer to FAA AC 150/5340-18 for the correct orientation.

3.3.3 Sign Distance from Pavement Edge

Refer to Table 16 for the distance of signs from the pavement edge. Refer to AC 150/5340-18 for more information on the location of different types of taxiway signs.

Table 16: Recommended Sign Distance from Pavement Edge

Sign Size Distance from Pavement (ft.) Distance from Pavement (m)

General Guidelines

To pour a concrete pad, perform the following procedure:

1. Determine the sign size and number of modules.

2. Pour your concrete pad according to the following requirements:

• A minimum of 30 inches (762 mm) wide, extending a minimum of 6 inches (152.4 mm) beyond the end of the supports. The

sign pad needs to be flat and level in the area where the sign mounting flanges are located. See FAA AC 150/5345-30, Figure

126. The mounting floor flange is nominally 5.0 wide x 7.50 long and the area beyond the flange can be tapered to the outside edge of the concrete pad to provide for pad drainage.

• A minimum of 4 inches (101.6 mm) depth, extending below the frost line to prevent frost heave.

• Reinforce according to site plans and specifications.

3. Install a minimum of one 12-inch (304.8 mm) L-867B power base (1) according to the following guidelines:

• Install the base close to the sign in or near the concrete pad to provide easy access to the isolation transformer.

NOTE: When installing the base in the concrete pad, hold the L-867 base firmly in place during construction of the pad so that the upper surface of the base flange is level within ± 2 degrees and not more than 3/8 inch (9.525 mm) above the concrete surface.

• All other bearing surfaces on the pad for additional flange supports should be kept in the same horizontal plane as the L-867

base flange. The pad area where the sign mounting flanges will be located is to be flat with no taper to ensure that the sign will set level to prevent uneven loading on the frangible couplings. See FAA AC 150/5340-30, Figure 126 for pad design.

• For the Mode 2 and 3 signs

Before the concrete sets, install two 1/2−13 anchor bolts into the concrete pad. The bolt hole centerline is on a 6-inch diameter bolt circle, 180 degrees apart as shown. Bolt slots are 0.62-inches wide x 1.0 long. Overall width of flange is 5.0 inches and overall length is 7.5 inches. Bolts should be located perpendicular to the sign face.

NOTE: A customer-supplied template is recommended to hold the bolts in position while the concrete sets. Anchor bolts (customer-supplied) must be a minimum of 1.25 inches (31.75 mm) above the top surface of the concrete pad to attach the mounting bases. Hilti Quick Bolts (wedge-bolt) or Red Head Trubolt Wedge Anchors are recommended for installing the flanges after the concrete sets (customer-supplied). Check with the manufacturer for their recommendations as applied to your airport site.

Example Hilti Kwik Bolt 3 Standard Thread 304 Stainless Steel

NOTE: With either anchoring system, the allowable load for any specific bolt is dependent upon several factors; type of concrete,

depth of embedment, edge distance, anchor spacing, etc. ADB can advise the customer of various manufacturers of anchor bolts, but ADB cannot approve their specific installation.

3.3.5 Sign Mounting

NOTE: Signs are totally assembled at the factory and are ready for direct installation. Mounting flanges may be removed to

lubricate the threads of the frangible coupling with anti-seize compound before installing sign.

If male L-823 connector is routed through a leg, slide frangible coupling over male connector and insert into female connector in base plate, and then screw frangible coupling into base plate.

To mount the sign onto the concrete pad to insure the assembly is flat, perform the following procedure:

1. When the sign is ready to be bolted to the concrete pad set the sign assembly on the concrete pad and position the sign over the anchor bolts. Hand-tighten the bolts or nuts to fasten the mounting flanges to the concrete pad.

2. To insure that the sign assembly is mounted flat on the concrete pad, first loosen all three hex set screws found on each frangible coupling that are installed on the sign. See Figure 12. Once all the hex screws are loosened each of the sign legs will float free inside the frangible coupling that is screwed into the mounting flange Second, use a bubble, digital, or laser level to verify that the assembly is flat and level. Adjustments to make the assembly flat and level can be made by raising or lowering one end of the sign assembly to make the assembly flat and level.

NOTE: Once the assembly is flat it may be necessary to block-up or hold the assembly in the flat position until all of the hex set screws can be re-tightened on each of the frangible couplings to secure the sign leg to the coupling. Once the sign is flat and level finish tightening the mounting bolts to their correct torque value.

If the sign pad is tapered in the area when the mounting flanges are located shims may need to be placed under the mounting flanges to ensure that the coupling frangibility characteristics are the same for each coupling. If in doubt, contact ADB Safegate, Americas Engineering.

Figure 12: Sign Frangible Coupling

CAUTION

• Sign frangible couplings are uniquely designed for use on the sign size stamped on the coupling and can only be used for that particular size sign. If couplings must be replaced, make sure the sign size on the couplings matches the size sign on which they are to be installed.

3. Connect an AWG 12 (minimum) ground wire to the earth ground lug on the bottom of the sign.

4. Install optional tether. Refer to Optional Tethers in this section.

5. Plug the SEPS cord set into the sign.

6. Reinstall panels (if removed) and top lid (if removed).

3.4 SEPS Installation

3.4.1 Site Preparation

Follow these steps to prepare the installation site:

1. Ensure that the site has year-round, unrestricted sun exposure throughout the day.

NOTE: Shading even a small portion of the solar panel will significantly reduce its ability to collect solar power.

96A0492 Rev. A

2. Any pad design should meet FAA AC 150/5340-30:

Mounting Post inside SEPS

a. Above ground wiring: install a level concrete pad within 20 ft. of the load that SEPS will be powering. Mounting to wood,

soil, or asphalt may work but is not recommended since they will not have the strength required for high wind loads.

b. Below ground wiring: install a level concrete pad with L-867B base can and base plate or conduit within 20 ft. of the load

that SEPS will be powering.

3. Use the below template (in inches) to mark 4 mounting points for the 2 floor flanges. Note that the centerline of SEPS should be parallel to the equator, so that the installed solar panel will face south in northern latitudes and north in southern latitudes.

4. At each of the 4 mounting points, install a ½-13 UNC anchor bolt or stud.

3.4.2 Assembly

Follow these steps to assembly the SEPS:

1. Open SEPS’s solar panel lid by loosening the 2 black, captive thumb screws under the bottom lip.

NOTE: Slowly hold and open the lid since it has a gas shock that will push the lid open.

Lid is designed to best open and close once SEPS is fully installed and the lid can open quickly when SEPS is lying flat on the ground during preparation.

2. Unpack two mounting posts and their fasteners from within SEPS.

3. Slide the mounting post down its oblong hole. Align mounting post’s bottom bolt hole with the bottom bolt hole in the chassis. Loosely install the 5/16-18 UNC bolt from the outside and the nut on the inside. Note that this bolt does not have extra length and when tightened will pull the chassis frame members together.

5. Repeat above steps for second mounting post.

6. Close the lid and finger tighten the thumb screws to better balance the unit.

7. Thread the frangible coupling into the floor flange until tight. Install the frangibl e coupling’s 3 bolts. Repeat for second subassembly.

8. Slide the frangible coupling subassembly onto the mounting post. Finger tighten 1 of the frangible coupling’s screws to hold the subassembly onto the mounting post. Repeat for second subassembly.

9. Pick up the SEPS and set down over the 4 anchor bolts installed above. If required, loosen frangible coupling bolts to adjust the rotation of frangible coupling. Do not loosen the floor flange and frangible coupling thread.

10.Tighten all frangible coupling bolts. Tighten all anchor bol ts.

3.4.3 Antenna Assembly

If your SEPS has wireless control capability, it will have a wireless antenna subassembly that needs to be installed. During manufacturing, the antenna is uninstalled and placed inside SEPS to protect it from shipping damage. To install:

1. Open lid slowly and carefully unpack antenna subassembly.

2. Remove 8-32 UNC thumb screw and its toothed washer.

3. Slide antenna cable back through hole to remove slack.

96A0492 Rev. A

4. Ensure antenna and bracket are vertical and re-install thumb screw and toothed washer.

5. Route cable as shown below.

3.4.4 Grounding

NOTE: Failure to install an appropriate grounding system may cause a safety risk in the event of lightning strike, electrostatic

discharge (ESD), or damaged cabling.

Failure to install an appropriate grounding system will increase the risk of system damage in the event of lightning strike or ESD.

Surges resulting from lightning strikes in the proximity of the installation are one of the most common causes of solar system failure. Installation of an appropriate grounding system allows the static electricity that accumulates in the solar panel and mounting structure to discharge. In addition to preventing the attraction of lightning, a properly grounded installation may divert the surge associated with lightning from electrical circuitry, limiting the potential for damage.

SEPS is negatively grounded. The solar panel frame, solar panel negative terminal, battery negative terminal, chassis, and grounding lug are all electrically connected together.

SEPS should be grounded as follows:

1. Install a 14 – 2 AWG stranded grounding wire (not included) into the grounding lug under the bottom lip of the chassis.

2. Connect the grounding wire to an appropriate grounding stake and install the stake in the ground.

3. Note that the load cable does not provide any grounding for the load. The load should also be properly grounded to prevent damage to it and SEPS.

Grounding techniques vary depending on site specifics and local electrical authorities. Consultation with a local grounding expert is recommended.

Solar LED L-858Y/R/L/B Signs

Note cable routing

SEPS Installation

3.4.5 Connect Load

Connect the load to SEPS as follows:

1. Uncoil the load cable. The cable is stiff and should be routed above where the battery will be installed.

2. For installations with cabling going into the ground, feed the load cable down either mounting post. For a more finished look, the black, liquid tight cable fitting exiting the SEPS unit may be replaced with the included 7/8 in. hole plug.

3. For installations with cabling lying on the surface of the ground, feed the load cable out through the liquid tight cable fitting. Tighten fitting.

4. Pull the loose, 6 conductor end of the load cable into the appropriate junction box to connect to the load.

5. Connect the 6 conductors to the load as per the electrical load connection diagrams.

3.4.6 Install Battery

NOTE: Exercise caution when handling batteries. They are capable of generating enormous short-circuit currents. Remove all

jewelry (bracelets, metal-strap watches, rings) before attempting to handle or remove the battery packs.

Be careful not to short battery terminals with tools.

Batteries are heavy. Ensure that you use proper lifting techniques when moving batteries.

Do not discard batteries in the garbage – please recycle!

These batteries are rechargeable lead-acid AGM batteries. Consult your local municipal by-laws for information on recycling the cells when replacing.

SEPS has the capability to accept 1 battery.

The battery must always be installed last, after site preparation, assembly, wireless assembly, grounding, and load connection. There is no switch to power up the system. Once the battery and its fuse are installed, SEPS’s EMS turns on. The EMS will immediately attempt to charge the battery from the solar panel and perform a load scan to determine if any load is connected.

Battery 1 sits in the left hand cavity inside SEPS. To install battery 1:

1. Remove the battery fuse from the battery harness.

2. Release the battery strap buckle and loosen the buckle to the end of the strap.

96A0492 Rev. A

3. Loop the strap buckle, battery harness leads, and temperature sensor above the solar panel’s gas shock and out of the way.

4. Balance the battery on the bottom lip of the SEPS chassis and then slowly let it drop back into its cavity. Do not let the battery fall backwards or crush any electrical connections.

8. Battery terminals should be closest to you, with the positive (+) on the left and negative (–) on the right.

9. Loop the battery strap under the battery handle. Connect the battery strap buckle. Tighten the battery strap and fold loose end underneath itself.

10.Loop the positive (+) harness lead under the battery handle. Apply anti-corrosion compound (not included) to the terminal. Connect the harness lead to the terminal and slide on the red, positive, battery te rminal boot.

11.Loop the negative (–) harness lead and its temperature sensor under the battery handle. Apply anti-corrosion compound (not included) to the terminal. Connect the harness lead and then the temperature sensor to the terminal and slide on the black, negative, battery terminal boot.

12.Install the battery fuse.

4.2.1 Energy Management System (EMS) Recycling

Production of the EMS required the extraction and use of natural resources. The EMS may contain substances that could be harmful to the environment or human health if improperly handled at the product’s end of life. In order to avoid release of such substances into the environment and to reduce the use of natural resources, we encourage you to recycle the EMS in an appropriate way that will ensure most of the materials are reused or recycled appropriately. Check your local municipality for electronics recyclers.

The symbol indicates that this product complies with the European Union’s requirements according to Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

Solar LED L-858Y/R/L/B Signs Troubleshooting

4.3 Troubleshooting

This section provides troubleshooting information for the L-858 taxiway and runway signs. The information covers only the most common problems. If you cannot solve the problem with the information given here, contact your local ADB Safegate, Americas representative for help.

Problem – LED Signs Possible Cause Corrective Action

Loose wires or connections

Tighten or replace wires.

All LEDs are out or not functioning correctly.

Broken or disconnected wire at the Terminal Block

LED Light Panel fault

Table 18: Troubleshooting the SEPS

Issue Action

If your system does not operate according to its specifications, the unit may be using Automatic Light Control (ALC). If the battery’s state of charge drops below 66%, ALC engages and reduces the power output to protect the batteries under unusually poor

Load Appears Dim

solar conditions. If the Battery Status indicator is red or yellow, the battery is low on charge. The system will recover on its own.

If the Battery Status indicator is blinking green, verify that the load is functional independent of SEPS. If not, verify correct wire polarity and electrical connections.

If the fixture is blinking once every 30 seconds, the product is in Low Voltage Discharge (LVD) mode. This indicates that the battery is at an extremely low state of charge and turns off the output power to the load. Ensure that the solar panel is not covered by debris or dirt, and that it is in the correct orientation (northern hemisphere solar panel faces south, southern hemisphere solar panel faces north). If required, remove the debris or clean the

Load is Unexpectedly Blinking or System Status Indicator is Red

solar panel with a soft cloth and water. Wait at least 24 hours for the system to recover. If it does not recover, contact customer support.

If the fixture is blinking twice every 30 seconds, the product is in 24 Hour Shutdown Mode. This mode turns on if the product does not discover any power coming from the solar panel for 24 hours. The product then interprets this as being indoors or inside packaging. Install product outside in good solar conditions. If it does not recover, contact customer support.

Check for loose or broken wires.

Bypass one light at a time in the circuit to find the faulty unit. Replace the faulty unit.

If the Battery Reverse Polarity indicator is lit, switch the positive and negative terminals.

Reverse Polarity

If the Solar Panel Reverse Polarity indicator is lit, switch the positive and negative connectors.

If the balance of SEPS is checked to be operational (battery, fuse, load wiring, product orientation, indicators) and the product does not respond to commands from the wireless handheld controller, check:

No Response to Wireless Handheld Controller

External antenna is connected and installed properly.

Grouping of the loads. Check that you’ve selected the appropriate group when sending wireless commands. When in doubt, select all groups when sending commands from the wireless handheld controller.

Ensure that both the antenna of SEPS and the wireless handheld controller are line-ofsight, vertical, and within range.

No Illuminated Indicators If none of the on-board indicators are illuminated, check the battery fuse.

96A0492 Rev. A

Issue Action

If the Battery Status and System Status indicators are blinking green, the Reverse Polarity indicators are not lit, and the load does not turn on, check:

Proper wiring of load.

If SEPS is configured to Autonomous Dusk-to-Dawn Mode, the load will only turn on if it is dark or the solar panel is obstructed.

SRGL Does Not Turn On

If SEPS is configured to On-Demand Wireless Mode, the load will only turn on when commanded by the wireless handheld controller.

SEPS only does a load scan once at first power up. This load scan will look like a series of short flashes upon first power up while SEPS determines if a load is connected. If the load was connected after SEPS first power up, SEPS would have performed a load scan, detected nothing, and turned the output off. To force a load scan, remove the battery fuse, check that the load is connected properly, and re-install the fuse. SEPS will then perform a load scan as it first powers up.

The SEPS carries the CE mark. The solar sign does not require

a CE mark as it does not contain any active components.

The SEPS is factory conﬁ gured to work autonomously for dusk-

to-dawn operation. On autonomous mode the prod- uct turns on at the intensity that is sustainable in that solar region. See Table 2.

Refer to solar map to determine solar region.

See the Wireless Hand-Held Controller section for details on
