5 Test Equipment and Tools
There is a wide variety of tools and equipment needed to safely and correctly perform airfield lighting
equipment installation and maintenance. In addition to the obvious tools (screwdrivers, wrenches, etc.),
there is a specialized equipment needed to do the job.
Multimeter
One of the most important pieces of test equipment is the Multimeter. It is used to measure voltages,
currents, and resistances. Almost every single maintenance task requires the use of a multimeter at one
point or another. A quality meter in good repair and calibration is a must because airfield lighting power
distribution equipment produces non-sinusoidal waveforms, traditional average reading meters are
inaccurate and have very limited use. Checking or adjusting equipment based upon incorrect current
reading may dramatically reduce lamp life and adversely affect power equipment performance. A meter
with TRUE RMS measuring capability and a current clamp-on probe is needed to accurately measure
distorted or chopped waveforms. All meter manufacturers offer TRUE RMS measuring meters. The
following is a short list of TRUE RMS Multimeters from Fluke:
Manufacturer Model Number
Fluke 87V, 287
Our recommended meter is the Fluke 87V with the Fluke I800 current clamp.
Refer to the equipment manufacturer’s manuals for the proper use, maintenance and calibration (if
necessary) of all meters.

8.1 General Description
Crouse-Hinds Airport Lighting Products, “AIRSIDE” internally illuminated LED Taxiway and Runway
Signs provide outstanding message visibility, day or night. White on Red and Yellow on Black and Black
on Yellow color combinations may be ordered with any desired message. Signs are available as single or
double faced and are provided with retro-reflective sign face. For further information on Taxiway Signs
and their use, consult the latest revision FAA Advisory Circulars AC 150/5220-9, AC 150/5340-18, and
AC 150/5345-44.
8.2 Classification of Signs
The signs covered in this manual are designed and manufactured in accordance with the requirements of
FAA Advisory Circular AC 150/5345-44J. Specifications for Taxiway and Runway Signs and conform to
the following classifications as indicated in paragraph 1.2 of the above Advisory.
Type L-858Y – Direction destination and boundary sign – black legend on a yellow background.
Type L-858R – Mandatory instruction sign white legend on a red background.
Type L-858L – Taxiway and runway location sign yellow legend and border on a black background.
Type L-858B –Runway Distance Remaining sign with a white legend on a black background.
Type L858C – Taxiway Ending Marker sign yellow strips on black background (2 module sign only)
A sign may consist of multiple arrays of the above messages.
NOTE: Size 5 information in this manual is the same as the Size 3 single module unless noted
otherwise.
