Hazard Warning

PERSONNEL HAZARD WARNING

DANGEROUS VOLTAGES

Dangerous line voltages reside in certain locations in this equipment. Also, this equipment may generate dangerous voltages. Although FTCA has incorporated every practical safety precaution, exercise extreme caution at all times when you expose circuits and components, and when you operate, maintain, or service this equipment.

Avoid Touching Live Circuits

Avoid touching a ny component or any part of the circuitry while the equipment is operating. Do not change components or make adjustments inside the equipment with power on.

Dangerous Voltages Can Persist with Power Disconnected

Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages can be present because capacitors can retain charges even after the power has been disconnected.

Protect yours elf — always turn off the input (primary) power and wait for one m inute for storage capacitors to drain their charge. Then check between the red and blue wires on the flashhead terminal block with a vo ltmeter for any resid ual charge before tou ching any circu it element or component.

Do Not Depend on Interlocks

Never depend on interlocks alone to remove unsafe voltages. Always check circuits with a voltmeter. Under no circumstances remove or alter any safety interlock switch.

Section 1 — FTB 312-3 Introduction and Operation

System

The ElectroFlash™ FTB 312-3 and FTS 316-2 or FTS 316-3 Systems are dual (white/red) flashing, medium intensity, obstruction lighting systems designed and manufactured by Flash Technology Corporation of America that require white L-865 lights during the day and L-864 red lights and markers at night.

A system consists of a power converter, a dual flashhead or red and white flashheads, pho tocell, and a cable between the flashhead and power converter. Table 1-1 provides an overview of system features.

The power converter provides discharge energy to the flashhead, and contains components and circuitry to control flashing. The power converter operates a white light at 40 flashes per minute during the day. At night, it switches to a red light at 20 flashes per minute, and t urns on st eadi ly-lit markers. It is usually installed near ground level.

The FH 306 Flashhead is a dual (white/red) flashhead; it has an internal red filter. An actuator raises the filter to operate the flas hhead in red mode and lowers the filter to operate it in white mode. Together, the lens and base enclose the flashtube and other interior components . Latches secure the lens, which tilts open for internal access. Position the flashhead to co mply with FAA regulations in Advisory Circular 70/7460-1J,

Obstruction Lighting and Marking.

A flashhead cable interconnects the power converter and flashhead. When FTCA Part Number 6340, or equivalent cable, is used, the two may be separated by up to 600 feet (180 meters). Consult the factory when a greater separation is necessary.

The photocell is connected directly to the main panel of the power converter at TB1-1 and TB1-2 to control switching between day and night operation. It may be located any pract ical distance f rom the power converter.

Protection

CAUTION

When you use a DC p ower source, operate the FTS 316 Systems directly from the battery. Do not operate from a c harging source without the battery.

Carefully maintain th e b atte ries a nd be c ar eful o f the voltage on the charging circuitry. If the battery voltage drops too low, or if the DC charging voltage is too high, the system s tops operating. The operating input v oltage range is 19.2 to 34 volts DC.

Inverter

The FIV 1100 and FIV 2000 Power Inverters provide automatic battery backup power source connection for FTS 316 Systems if primary AC power fails. The FIV 1100 is typically connected to a battery source and to the primary 120VAC power source. It provides 120VAC power for a single medium intensity power converter. The FIV 2000 provides 120VAC power for up to three medium intensity power converters.

FIV Inverter Operation

•

Normal Operation — Line Power Active

- AC source power energizes the transfer

relay in the FIV, which applies the 120VAC source power to the power converter.

• Battery Back-up Operation — Line Power

Interrupted

- Interrupted 120VAC source power

de-energizes the transfer relay allowing

Low Battery Voltage: Low battery voltage causes the inverter to shut off. Low battery voltage can be caused by corroded terminals or an old battery. Restoring battery voltage causes the inverter to restart.

High Battery Voltage: High battery voltage (incorrect battery connections or batteries) causes the inverter to shut off. Restoring the correct operating voltage causes the inverter to restart.

Over-temperature: If the inverter overheats, it shuts off. Restoring reasonable operating temperatures causes the inverter to restart.

Over-power: If the load requires power higher than the rating of the inverter, the inverter lowers its output voltage to supply no more than its rated power. Restoring the proper load on the inverter restores the operating voltage.

Alarm & Signal Definition:

White Alarm — Failure while in white flashing mode. Red Alarm — Failure while in red flashing mode. Marker Alarm — Failure of one or more marker lights. Day Intensity Error — The flashhead flashed at an intensity too low for day lighting conditions. Night Intensity Error — The flashhead flashed at an incorrect intensity (too low or too high) for night lighting

conditions. PEC Error — The photocell failed to switch state within a 19-hour period. Day Mode — Indicates that the power converter is in day mode. Night Mode — Indicates that the power converter is in night mode.

†

EAGLE: The “AE” models contain a built-in modem. This allows them to communicate over a

telephone line to a remote computer running EagleWin software. Each “AE” power

converter, or only the “AE” master unit, at the tower site may have an assigned tele-

phone number. This telephone connection allows remote monitoring of the system’s

operation. An alarm is communicated to the remote computer.

‡

T win Flashheads: During the day, the FTB 312-3T or FTB 312-3TA System operates an FH 308 Flash-

head (white). At night, it operates an FH 307T Flashhead (red). NOTE - Contact Rating: All alarm connections are electrically isolated contacts rated at 120V 1A.

System Operation

PCB1 24740xx

PCB1 (24740xx) has the following features:

PCB1 Timing and T rigger Board

PCB1 governs all automatic functions. Two different PCB1 boards are used in the PC 312-3 Power Converter. The 24740xx board is used in all except the “AE” models. The 24747xx board is used in the “AE” models. The “xx” in the board’s part number refers to its dash number, which changes with the board’s internal programming.

Photocell

Jumper Label Description

Power Converter Main Panel: Alarms and Signals

In a single unit installation, you connect the photocell to TB1-1 and TB1-2 on the main panel of the PC 312-3. In a multiple-unit installation you connect it to TB1-1 and TB1-2 of the first power converter, the master unit. Other units are slaves. Typically in multiple-unit installations , the first PC 312-3 is the one that operates the topmost flashhead. In multiple-unit installations, TB1-1 and TB1-2 of slave 1 are jumpered together, as is TB1-1 and TB1-2 of slave 2.

Terminals on TB1 of the PC 312-3 indicate various system failures and day or night modes of operation, and they are connected to electr ically isolated contacts of relays inside the PC 312-3. Electrically isolated contacts are not connected to any other circuitry. They act as switches rated at 1 ampere 120 VAC, allowing you to connect the PC 312-3 to external monitoring equipment. They change state (for example, from normally closed (NC) to open or from normally open (NO) to

ers in a multiple-unit installation. These terminal connections supply two functions:

The ability to monitor some states is available only on the “A” model power convert ers. These are indicated on the main panel in Figure 1-1.

Table 1-6 describes the available alarm functions on TB1 of the power converter.

Section 2 — Outline, Mounting, Installation

Unpacking

Inspect shipping cartons for signs of damage before opening them. Check package contents against the packing list and inspect each item for visible damage. Damage claims should be reported promptly to the freight handler.

Tools

Although no special tools are necessary, FTCA suggests the fol l o wing tools for installation and maintenance:

• #2, flat-blade screwdriver

• 5/16 inch, flat blade screwdriver

• #2, Phillips

• Set of combination wrenches

• Medium, slip joint pliers

• Long-nose pliers

®

9-inch shank screwdriver

Flashhead

The flashhead normally contains no interlock. Do not open the flashhead unless you have disconnected primary power from the power converter. Wait one minute for storage capacitors to drain down. Open the flashhead and use a voltmeter to check that no voltage pot ential exists b etween the red and the blue wires. Look for these wires on the ceramic terminal posts.

You may pivot the lens open by disengaging quick-release latches. Be careful when opening the lens to ensure that it does not strike adjacent objects. Two lanyard cables secure the lens to the flashhead.

Mounting

Power Converter

Mounting and outline dimensions for the power converters are shown in Figure 2-1. Use the fol- lowing guidelines for mounting the power converter:

• 8- or 10-inch adjustable wrench

• Triplett ™ Model 630-NA VOM, or equivalent,

analog volt-ohm meter

• Multi-purpose crimp tool

• Ensure that adequate space exists around the

equipment for access during installation, maintenance and servicing.

• Allow space for air flow around the power con-

verter.

• You must use a bonding strap on a bolt

Access

WARNING

STOP: Before proceeding—read warning on Page iii. Disconn ect the primary power before opening the power converter enclosure or flashhead.

Power Converter

Quick-re le a se latches secure the cov e r. When you release these you can open the cover for internal access.

FTB 312 and FTS 316 Revision13 — 02-20-2001 2-1

through the power converter cas e leg. Connect the strap to the site grounding system.

FTCA does not furnish mounting hardware unless you order it as part of an installation kit.

Flashhead

Mounting and outline dimensions for the flashhead are shown in Figure 2-2. Protect the flash- head from lightning strikes. The flashhead may be mounted to painted or unpainted s urfaces. Use the following guidelines:

• Use a lightning rod extended above the flash-

head to protect it when it is mounted at the uppermost pa rt of the struc tu r e .

• Avoid locating a lightning rod where it would

prevent tilting the lens open or interfere with access by maintenance or service personnel.

Red Light Fixtures

Obtain outline, clearance and mounting details for L-810 markers from separate drawings provided by FTCA (or others). This manual does

not contain information abou t installing red markers.

• Use a bonding strap when mounting the flash-

head to the structure, and fasten the bonding strap to the flashhead with the mounting bolt that goes through the leg that contains the ground connection.

Leveling

The flashhead must be level for correct vertical beam alignment. Two leveling vials are permanently attached to the flashhead assembly. When the flashhead is level, bubbles in both leveling vials are centered. For leveling, use the following guidelines:

• If adjustment is necessary, raise the appropri-

ate mounting foot with shims or washers. Raising one foot by 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) tilts the beam about 1/2 degree.

• Take extreme care to ensure that all four feet

rest snugly against a firm mounting surface before tightening the mounting bolts. Failure to do so could result in serious damage to the base when you tighten the bolts.

Photocell

Mounting and outline dimensions for the photocell are shown in Figure 2-3. Use the follow i ng guidelines:

Installation Wiring

NOTE

Only general infor mation for a typical installation is presented here, an d more specific informatio n may be needed for your site. In particular, because the L-810 marker (side-light) lighting components for red nighttime lighting are often purchased from others, and have many variations, only general hoo k-up in formatio n for flashing and monitoring the red lights is included.

This manual may no t contain all the information about installation wiring required for your site.

Consult any installation drawin gs pr epared es pecially for your site or supplied with the equipment. Site installation drawings should take precedence.

Also note that FTCA wiring diagrams define minimum requirements recommended for satisf actory equipment operation. These minimum requirements may not be enough, by themselves, to comply with local electrical codes. It is the

responsibility of the installer to comply with all applicable electrical codes.

Consider the following wiring: power service, marker lights, power converter, control and signal, and the flashhead.

All installation wiring should have an insulation rating of 600 volts.

• Locate the photocell where it has an unob-

structed view of the polar sky.

• It must n o t v i ew direct or refl ected artif i ci a l

light.

• The photocell may be supported directly by

electrical conduit.

• Mount the photocell vertically on the top end of

a vertical length of conduit to prevent water from entering and damaging the unit.

2-2 Revision13 — 02-20-2001 FTB 312 and FTS 316

You can find conduit and other distribution wiring details on electrical installation diagrams provided by FTCA or others.

FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460-1J gives the lighting requirements fo r va ri o us types of structure s.

Power Converter Wiring

Power Service Wiring

Power service w i ri n g m u st be si zed to satisfy the load demand of the red light markers and the

power converters. Each marker lamp draws 116 watts. Night operation of each power converter requires 250 volt-amperes. See Specifications in Section 1.

Securing the Cable

Use the following method for securing the flashhead cable to a skeletal structure:

A typical installation has three power converters and two tiers of markers. Thus, the last slave power converter connected together in a chain of units is connected to a flashhead only—no markers are connected to this unit. Each steady-burning marker draws approximately 1 ampere. To determine wire gauge, consider the total ampere load and the length of the run. Please read the notes on the installation wiring diagrams supplied both in this manual and with the equipment.

Please note that FTCA recommends the following guidelines for red light wiring:

• Using a maximum wire size of #12 AWG from

the red light mo dule termin a l bl o ck i n si de th e power converter

• Running a short length of #12 AWG wire to a

junction box near the power converter when load requirements call for heavier gauge wire to red light fix t u res.

Flashhead Wiring

1. Run the cable along one of the tower legs and wrap one full turn of two- inch Scotchrap™ #5 0 tape, or the equivalent, around the cable and tower leg at regular intervals of about 5 feet (1.5 meters).

2. Wrap three full turns of one-inch Scotchrap Filament #890 tape, or the equivalent, over the Scotchrap #50 tape.

3. Wrap four full turns of two-inch Scotchr ap #50 tape, or the equivalent, over the Scotc hrap Filament #890 tape.

4. Perform steps 1 through 3 also directly above and below any tower leg flanges that the cable may cross.

Photocell Wiring

For multiple-unit lighting, each individual lighting unit requires a power converter and flashhead, but the photocell is connected to only one unit in a group of multiple units. This unit is called the master unit, the others are called slaves.

The wiring between the power converter and flashhead requires five conductors with 600 volts (minimum ) i n su l a ti o n . T w o of the conduct o rs must be #10 AWG. The other three may be #16 AWG (minimum; for mechanical strength) if you are cabling together individual wires. FTCA recommends using FTCA Part Number 6340 cable for this application.

To ensure reliable operation, FTCA recommends continuous wiring between the power converters and their associated flashheads without intervening junctions or splice s.

If you use FTCA Part Number 6340 cable without electrical conduit, you should secure it to the main structure not more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) below the flashhead and at regular intervals between the flashhead and power converter.

FTB 312 and FTS 316 Revision13 — 02-20-2001 2-3

Connect the photocell to TB1-1 and TB1-2 on the master power converter. The photocell terminals TB1-1 and TB1-2 on the slave power converters are jumpered together. Also, you connect the master unit (to which the photocell is direct ly connected) to the topmost flashhead and top tier of markers.

Master/Slave Interconnect Wiring

In a multiple-unit system, the master unit and slave units co m municate o v e r the “master/slave” interconnect wiring. The master and slave power converter s a re co nnected tog e ther for com m u n i ca tion at the master/slave interconnect terminals TB1-4 and TB1-5 on the main panel. The recommended size wiring for this purpose is #16 AWG. Twist the wires together to form a twisted pair at the rate of 12 twists per foot.

FTS 316-2 and FTS 316-3 DC Back-Up Power Source

• Mount the power converter away from

radio frequency interference (RFI).

Use the installation drawings in this manual in Figure 2-6 and Figure 2-12 or site installation drawings.

The FTS 316 systems switch from AC power lines to a DC back-up power source if the AC power fails. These systems use a 24 VDC battery back-up power source. Mount the batteries and the voltage inverters closely together to keep the battery cables as short as possible. Use braided battery cables of a gauge determined by their length as shown in Figure 2-13 or Figure 2-14. Use soldered-lug battery connectors on the cable.

Alarm Relay Wiring

The wiring for alarm relay connections in Figure 2-15 minimizes the possibility of damage caused

by high voltage transients.

Installation Checklist

4. Flashhead Mounting

• Ensure that the flashhead lens can be

opened without striking other objects.

• Level and aim the flashhead.

5. Photocell Mounting

• Locate photocell where it views unob-

structed polar sky with no direct or reflected artificial lighting striking it.

• Mount the photocell vertically on the top

end of a vertical length of conduit to prevent water from entering the unit.

6. Marker Mounting (Sidelights):

• Ensure that marker junction boxes are

mounted with the weep holes down.

• Ensure that the junction boxes are water

tight.

Complete the following steps before applying power to the lights.

1. Inspect all equipment for damage.

2. Verify the received equipment against the packing list to ensure completeness.

3. Power Converter Mounting: Position and mount each unit correctly, allow-

ing adequate clearance for opening the covers. Use the following checks:

• Ensure that the case is mounted upright,

is water tight, and grounded.

• Check ha rdware insid e th e case to ensu re

that the mounting screws and nuts are tight.

• Ensure that only the bottom of the case

has drain holes and that they are clear.

• Ensure that no holes are punched or

drilled on the top surface of the case.

• Ensure that air can flow around the case.

7. Power Converter Wiring Examine the installation drawings and use

the following checks:

• Check for proper incoming service voltage.

• Wire each unit according to the instruc-

tions.

• In multiple installations, all power con-

verters must be wired to the same electrical phase. Wire all three power converters to one 20-amp . ci rcuit breake r.

• Check all electrical connections for tight-

ness.

• Check all terminal strip connections for

tightness.

• Ground the power converter.

• Wires at TB1-4 and TB1-5 should be

daisy-chained as a twisted pair between the master power converter and the slave units. The rate of twist is 12 per foot. If a shielded cable is used, ground the shield. Ensure that TB1-4 is connected to all TB1-4 connections on all units, and TB1-5 is similarly connected.

inverter and the battery as follows:

• Make certain that the cables are the cor-

rect size (see Figure 2-13 or Figure 2-14).

• Ensure that the connections are cl ean and

tight.

• Ensure that the battery voltage is correct

(19.2 to 34).

• If external alarm detection circuit

responds to closed contacts , ensure that they are wired to the contac ts on TB1 that close on alarm.

• If external alarm detection circuit

responds to open conta cts, ensure that they are wired to the contac ts on TB1 that open on alarm.

• Alarm wiring should be lightning and RFI

protected: shielded, ground ed shield, and in a conduit.

• If a specific alarm is ganged together from

all power converters as one, ensure that the wiring follows local installation instructions.

12. Marker Wiring (Sidelights)

• Ensure that each power converter powers

only one tier of markers.

• Ensure that the top tier of markers is

wired to the master power converter.

• Check the wiring gauge to the markers to

ensure less than 3% voltage drop.

• Ensure that all markers have all their

lamps installed.

• Ensure that marker lamps are 116 Watts

only.

After completing all the steps listed above, turn on the power and perform an operational checkout from procedures in Section 3 of this manual.

Section 3 — Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Safety

WARNING

STOP: Before proceeding—read warning on Page iii.

Work safely as follows:

1. Remove rings and watches before opening the equipment.

2. Shut off the equipment.

3. Remove the component or connect the test instrument.

4. Replace the component.

5. Turn on the power and test the system.

6. Turn off the power and disconnect the test equipment.

Preventive Maintenance

Carry out the following inspection and cleaning procedures at least once a year:

1. Verify that moisture has not entered the equipment through gaskets or seals, or collected inside as condensation.

2. Verify that all drain holes are clear.

3. Check terminal blocks and relays for evidence of corrosion and electrical arcing. Clean or replace any component that shows evid ence of high-voltage damage.

4. Check flashtube connections for signs of pitting or arcing. Verify that anode and cathode connections are firmly tightened.

5. Check all electrical connections for tightness and verify the absence of corrosion or electri cal arcing.

6. Clean the outside surface of the lens with liquid detergent and water. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth or paper towel.

7. Clean the inside surface of the lens with an FTCA-approved professional plastic cleaner. Wipe the lens with cheesecloth only. Do not use regular cloth or paper towels. A lens cleaning kit, Part Number 8630801, is available from FTCA.

Storage

No special considerations are required for long-term storage of any major assembly, such as the power converter, flashhead, photocell or any internal component. Circuit boards, whe n not installed in the equipment, should be kept in anti static bags or containers.

Diagnostic Testing

This subsection describes procedures for basic functional testing. The only effec tive way to check out interco nnected pow e r converter s i s to disconnect the wire labeled master/slave interconnect that is connected to TB1-4 and check them as single units, as described in the subsection Checkout Procedures, described in subsequent text .

Sync Signal Evaluation

Refer to Figure 2-11. Note that, for each po w e r converter, a master/slave inter connect line and its return lin e a re co n n ected to TB1 -4 an d TB 1 - 5 respectively. All units place a sync pulse on the line; the first sync pulse on the line synchronizes the remaining lights to flash all the lights at the same time. PCB1 in each power converter generates a sync pulse. The width of the sync pulse controls the mode of operation.

The top light must be operated by the master power converter and the PEC must be connected to the master power converter. In the event of a top-most red light failure at night, the master power converter places a back-up signal on the line that causes all connected units to flash the white ligh ts at the correc t ni g h t i n te n s i t y .

The sync signal is a pulse and difficult to evaluate with a meter. You can detect the sync pulse as an instantaneous movement of the meter indicator. A digital meter with a max-min function may capture part of the pulse. This is generally a sufficient indication of a pulse being present. (A 24V pulse of 16 ms. width might read 12V on a 100 ms. capture time of max-min function.)

FTB 312 and FTS 316 Revision13 — 02-20-2001 3-1

RFI Problems

The presence of radio frequency interference (RFI) can cause a light to flash intermittently, at the wrong rate, or at the wrong intensity. RFI can enter the light by any wire to or from t he unit. For example:

• RFI on primary power wires could cause errors

in flash rate and intensity.

• RFI on the master/slave interconnecting wire

could cause a light to switch to and remain in night inten s i t y .

• RFI on the PEC line could switch a light to

night inten s i t y an d f or c e it to remain th e r e. RFI would not normally cause a light to switch to day intensity.

• Strong RFI could burn out circuit board com-

ponents.

While FTCA designed the circuits to reject or bypass RFI, FTCA cannot guarantee complete immunity beforehand. After installation, you may find it necessary to add external filters or use other methods to reduce R F I en tering the eq u i pment.

connections, faulty relays, incorrect hookup, and so forth.

Power Converter Component Testing

Capacitors

Evaluate the condition of a capacitor with an analog volt-ohmmeter operating in the resistance mode. The following method assumes an instrument with a X100 resistance scale.

Place the meter leads across the terminals of an isolated (no electrical connections to other circuits) and fully disc harged capacitor. Observe the subsequent needle movement.

If the capacitor is functional, the needle initially indicates ze ro oh ms, but soon beg i n s to ri se to higher indicated values. A capacitor that is disconnected from other circuitry is defective if it does not exhibit this behavior. The length of time it takes the needle to reach the 1-megohm reading (about 65% full-scale) is a measure of the capacitance. For example, the time is about 5 seconds for a 10-mfd. capacitor , or 10 seconds fo r a 20-mfd. capacitor, and so forth.

Component Testing

The following procedures describe how to check most of the unit’s major electrical components. Always make resistance measurements with the primary power turned off. Before applying power for voltage measurements, connect test leads or circuit jumpers, or disc onnect existing circuit connections, with the power turned off and storage capacitors discharged.

Wiring and Cabling

Wires or cables that move repeatedly will eventually break. Ensure that all cables (the flashhead cable in particular) are securely fastened at short intervals to the structure or other supports.

Inspection

Closely inspect the units and check the connections against the installation instructions. Also, a close inspection may reveal insulation breakdown, an overheated component, corrosion, loose

Manually discharge the capacitor before repeating this measurement. This test may not dete ct a

malfunction that occurs only at high voltage.

A bank of capacitors connected in parallel may be checked as a single unit. If the test indicates a short circuit, the individual capacitors have to be disconnecte d a n d ch e c ke d se pa r a t el y. A sh o r te d capacitor is indicated if the resistance does not rise above zero after several seconds of measurement.

Burst Choke (L1)

The measured resistance of this choke sho uld be approximately seven ohms.

Relays

A malfunctioning relay may have faulty contacts, a sticky mechanism, a bad ground, or a defective coil. You may determine the first two possibilities by inspection and manually exercising the armature. You can confirm a defective coil by measuring the resistance. To measure the resistance of relay coils, first remove the wires from one of the connections to the coil terminals on the relay.

HV Rectifier Board (PCB2)

Replace this board with one known to be in good condition.

Alarm Relay Board (PCB5) (PC 312-3AE)

Replace this circuit board with one known to be in good condition.

Sense Module (PCB4)

Replace this circuit board with one known to be in good condition.

Discharge Resistor (R1)

The measured resistance of this component should be 35,000 ohms.

Burst Resistor (R2)

The measured resistance of this component should be 250 ohms (two 500-ohm resistors in parallel)

Power Transformer (T1)

To test this transformer, first remove PCB1 and PCB2. Apply power to the unit and measure secondary winding voltages at the terminals indicated in Table 3-1.

The following subsections describe component testing for the components in the flashhead.

Flashtube (FT101)

Visually inspect the flashtube for broken electrodes, cracked glass, and the solder connections of the pins. A darkened envelope does not necessarily mean the light output would be unacceptable. Before concluding that a faulty flashtube is responsible for an inadequate flash, first rule out other possible causes such as weak or absent discharge voltage or triggering pulses.

Trigger Transformer (T101)

The resistance of the secondary winding (potted assembly) should be approximately 150 ohms. Check the ferrite core for cracks. Check the mounting screws for tightness.

Trigger Coupling Transformer (T102)

The coupling transformer should not have open windings. An ohmmeter will indicate a shorted winding because of wire size. check with an ohmmeter at the wire terminals.

Photocell Testing

Terminals Voltage Range

TB3-1 to TB3-9 900-1050 volts AC*

PCB1 J5-8 to chassis 100-120 volts DC

PCB1 J3-1 to J3-2 22-26 volts AC

* If this AC voltage is substantially below the specified

minimum value, check tuning capacitor C4.

Trigger Coupling Transformer (T3)

The coupling transformer should not have open windings. An ohmmeter will indicate a shorted

The PEC 510 Photocell is wired directly to the master power converter at TB1-1 and TB1-2.

1. Disconnect the photocell. The system should go to nighttime operation.

2. Disconnect the master/slave interconnect line on each power converter.

3. Operate the intensity control switch on each power converter in turn.

4. If each power converter operates correctly with the intensity control switch, the problem

is the photocell, or its wiring, or troubleshoot the circuits in the erroneously operating power converter.

some cases, you may have to place some wires on the component befor e you fasten it in place, then replace the remaining wires.

5. Reconnect all wires. During daylight, completely block light from

entering the photocell. If the system does not enter night mode after a few minutes , replace the photocell. At night, shine a light on the photocell, if the system does not enter day mode after a few minutes, replace the photocell.

Component Removal and Replacement

Component location diagram s ar e provi ded i n Figure 4-1, through Figure 4-6 in Section 4 — Recommended Spare and Replaceable Parts. Internal electrical wiring diagrams are provid ed in Section 2 and on the Informat io n Ca r d that is fastened

inside the pow e r co nverter cov e r.

Note the location and color of all wires that you disconnect. When you replace t he wiring after you replace the components, ensure that the wiring conforms ex a c tl y to the wiring diagrams.

Most compo n en t s a re re l atively eas y to ac ce ss for removal. Only those that are more difficult are described.

Power Converter

Capacitors

Before removing or replacing a capacitor always ensure it is discharged by checking with a voltmeter directly across the terminals. Discharge a capacitor by placing a resistance (25 watts /10,000 ohms or greater) between its terminals. Direct shorting may da m a ge the capacit or, and connec ting the terminals to the equipment chassis may fail to discharge it.

Remove the fuse for this procedure to prevent accidental application of power if the interlock switch is inadvertently depressed.

Removal

1. Disconnect the wires leading to capacitors.

The general procedure for removing components is a logical one and is as follows:

1. Obtain access to the component in question:

a. Disconnect completely or partially the

wiring to components first that prevent clear access.

b. Completely remove or relocate these

components.

3. Disconnect the wiring to the component that you want to replace.

4. Remove this component.

5. Replace everything in the reverse order: first the component, then the wiring, then the components that allowed you access. In

2. Remove the hold-down screws.

3. Lift the capacitors from their receiving holes.

Replacement

1. Reverse the removal procedure.

2. Verify that wiring is in accordance with the wiring diagram on the Information Card. Wires must be replaced exactl y as removed. In some instances, a quick-connect wire terminal does not seat properly if it is not placed on the terminal cluster exactly as it was before removal. This occurs by interference between the insulation on the wire terminal and the insulation su rrounding th e i r te rminal clus t e r on the capacitor. FTCA recommends that you lightly sque eze the quick-connect wi re terminals with pliers before reinstalling them over the capacit or terminal bl a des.

Operational Checkout

Single-Unit System

During testing expose the photoc ell to normal out door daylight. Carefully perform the followin g steps and take the suggested action if any of the responses differ from the response described.

Multiple-Unit System

A system with more than one power converter unit is a multiple-unit sy stem. Refer t o any figure in Section 2 that shows multiple- unit installation. You connect the first unit; the designated master unit, from terminals TB1-1 and TB1-2 directly to the photocell. The two other power converters each jumper together their terminals TB1-1 and TB1-2. Intensity information is supplied over the master/slave interconnect line to all power converters.

Each power converter, in the chain of power converters, sends a synchronization signal over the bidirectional wires at terminals TB1-4 and TB1-5 to flash all lights together. A master power converter sends a back-up signal at night if its topmost red light fails. Note that a lamp going out in a tier of red incandescent marker lights indicates a marker alarm but does not cause back-up night intensity operation.

Normal operation at night calls for monitoring a set of steadily burning markers installed at one structure level (tier). In configurations with more than one red flashhead at the same structure level (or tier), the additional flashhead does not

FTB 312 and FTS 316 Revision13 — 02-20-2001 3-7

have associated markers. That is, this last flashhead connected to the last power converter in a multiple-unit installation does not have associated markers.

2. Disconnect TB1-4 and TB1-5 on each power converter.

3. Operate the intensity control switch on each power converter in turn.

PCB1 can sense or ignore markers. It senses them by examining the marker current. It ignore s them if the MRK0 and MRK1 jumpers on the 24740xx PCB1 are clipped (or switches SW1 and SW2 are off), or the internal programing of the 24747xx PCB1 is programmed for no markers. Therefore, before troubleshooting, you must verify correct marker installation wiring, programming, and operation.

Testing Each Unit

To test each unit in a multiple-unit system, use the following procedures:

1. Disconnect the wires labeled master/slave interconnect at TB1-4 and TB1-5.

2. Test this unit as described in Section Sin- gle-Unit System.

PEC Testing

The photocell is wired directly to the first (master) power converter at TB1-1 and TB1-2.

1. First, disconnect the photocell. The single unit, or multiple unit, system should r evert to nighttime operation.

4. If each power converter operates correctly with the intensity control switch, troubleshoot the PEC wiring or the circuits in the incorrectly operating power converter.

5. Reco n n e ct all wires.

Checkout Procedures

Use instructions in Table 3-2 and Table 3-3 to checkout the equipment. To perform the procedures, you must open the cover of the power converter or converters. To check out multiple units, all units must be operating. Observe and confirm the operation for each power converter individually.

The procedures assume the photocell (PEC) is exposed to daytime sky condit ions.

Set all intensity select switches to AUTO, which allows the photocell to control the intensity.

The steps in Table 3-2 or Table 3-3 are related to each other and shoul d be perfo rmed toget her in the sequence given here. If a unit does not behave

Troubleshooting the System

Effective troubleshooting begins with careful observations of operating behavior, often leading directly to the cause of a problem. Diagnostic procedures in this subsection are divided into two categories: unit level, originating in a single unit; and system level, problems affecting all units in a multiple-unit system in the same way. However, in a multiple-unit system some unit-level malfunctions could cause problems involving the entire system.

For example, if one light in a multiple-unit system fails to flash, Table 3-4 directs you to Table 3-5, the troubleshooting guide for a unit-level problem (but not a system-level problem).

Table 3-4 Selecting the Correct Troubleshooting Guide

Single-Light

System

Units Affected Differently, Usually

Only One Failing Unit A Unit-Level Problem

For each symptom, the troubleshooting guides list one or more probable causes in descending order of probability. Continuing with our example, assume that the light fails to flash during the day (No in column 1) and at night (No in column 2). High voltage is absent (No in column 3), but low voltage is present (OK in column 4). This condition is desc ri b e d i n th e fo urth row of Table 3-5. The last column lists possible causes. The most probable cause is a shorted capacitor, the second most probable cause is a shorted flashhead cable, and so on.

3-14 Revision13 — 02-20-2001 FTB 312 and FTS 316

Table 3-8 Filter Function Voltage Check

VOTAGE PROCEDURE

This voltage drives the filter actuator to the up position for night operation. The voltage should not be present in daylight.

To test this voltage in daylight:

120-135 VAC

between

TB2-4 and TB2-5

at night

13-17 VAC

or

24-27 VAC

between

TB2-5 and TB2-6

1) Turn the Intensity Select Switch to Manual Night Mode

2) Measure the voltage between TB2-4 and TB2-5.

3) The meter should read 120-135 VAC.

4) Switch the unit to Manual Day Mode

5) The meter should read approximately zero (0) volts. If the voltage is not present at night, or it is present during the day, the problem is most likely in the

power converter.

Use the following procedure:

1) Place meter leads (0-50 VAC range) between main panel terminals TB2-5 and TB2-6.

2) Turn the Intensity Select Switch to Manual Day Mode.

3) The meter should read 13 to 17 VAC and -12 to -17 VDC.

If this voltage is not present, the problem is most likely in the power converter.

4) Leaving the meter leads connected, turn the Intensity Select Switch to Manual Night Mode. The meter should read 24-27 VAC for about 6 seconds.

If the voltage did not increase from 12-17 VAC to 24-27 V AC, the filter did not move. The problem is most likely in the power converter.

After six (6) seconds, the voltage should drop to 13 to 17 VAC and read +12 to +17 VDC. If the voltage does not drop to 13 to 17 VAC and instead reads 24 to 27 VAC, or after 20 seconds a

red alarm is indicated, and the light goes into white night backup mode, the red filter is not up.

Using the Intensity Select Switches — Finding the Faili ng Unit at Nig ht

For normal operation, set the intensity select switches on each unit to AUTO. In AUTO, an intensity signal through the master/slave interconnect wires on TB1-4 and TB1-5 controls the day or night intensity level of all power converters and associated lights. Any power converter may send the sync signal on these wires, whic h flashes all lights at the same time. Normally, all units on a structure have backup enabled. Should a flashhead fail in AUTO night operation, the power converter with the failing flashhead sends a back-up signal to the other units on the interconnect wires. If the failing flashhead is the top-most and is correctly connected to the master, all strobes will go into white back-up mode.

You can switch any unit to day or night operation (manual operation) with its intensity select

switch. In manual operation, the following conditions occur on the switched power converter:

In Night Mode:

• It does not send a back-up signal.

• It operates the red light only.

• It clears its red alarm (if it has one) and then

re-establishes the alarm.

• It does not affect the other units.

In Day Mode:

• It ignores the master/slave interconnect line

(sync and back-up signals).

• It operates the white light only.

When a topmost red light alarm occurs at night, the back-up signal from the failing master power converter switches all units to night intensity white operation. With the preceding information, you can determine master unit in the system is causing the entire system to run in white night intensity.

Returning Equipment

Before returning equipment to FTCA, contact Customer Service at 1-800-821-5825 for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number.

Repackaging

Equipment must be returned in a container that provides maximum protection during shipping and handling. If the original cartons and packaging material are no longer available, package the power converter and flashhead separately as in the following subsections.

Power Converter

Package and ship the power converter in an upright position; that is, with the feet downward. Pad the power converter so that the feet cannot penetrate the box during shipment. Box each power converter separately using a double thickness cardboard container and adequate padding. Do not drop. Use appropriate warning labels on the outside of the container.

Table 4-2 lists the major replaceable parts.

Photocell Parts

The part number for the PEC 510 Photocel l is PN #1855001.

FIV 1100 and FIV 2000 Inverter Parts

Table 4-3 lists the major replaceable parts.

Flashhead

Package and ship the flashhead in an upright position. Box each flashhead separately and use adequate padding. Attach the flashhead base to a plate measuring 19 inches square (e.g., 3/8 inch plywood). Use a double thickness cardboard (or wood) container which is 19 inches square by about 25 inches high (inside dimensions). Use sof t packing or a cardboard collar around the lens to prevent tipping inside the container. Do not drop. Use appropriate warning labels on the outside of the container.
