assigns. The duration of these warranties shall be as follows:
(c) Buyer must notify Honeywell in writing of a Nonconformance within the warranty period and return the Product to Honeywell
within thirty (30) calendar days after such notice, in accordance with instructions which shall be issued by Honeywell. Honeywell's
obligation and Buyer's remedy under this warranty is limited to either repair or replacement, at Honeywell’s option, of the
nonconforming Product. All Products repaired or replaced hereunder shall be warranted only for the unexpired portion of the original
warranty period. Honeywell agrees to assume round trip transportation costs for a nonconforming Product in an amount not to
exceed normal ground shipping charges to the warranty service facility designated by Honeywell. The risk of loss or damage to all
Products in transit shall be borne by the Party initiating the transportation of such Products.
(d) Honeywell shall not be liable under this warranty if the Product has been exposed or subjected to (1) any maintenance, repair,
installation, handling, transportation, storage, operation or use which is improper or otherwise is not in compliance with Honeywell's
instructions; or (2) any alteration, modification or repair by anyone other than Honeywell or those specifically authorized in writing by

SECTION 2. GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1 Scope
This manual provides information about the installation, operation, and maintenance of
the Programmable Logic Controller Health Monitoring and Reporting (PLCHMR) System
manufactured by Honeywell.
2.2 General Description
The PLCHMR system is a retrofitable health monitoring and reporting system for
Honeywell’s high intensity flashing white obstruction lighting system. A majority of the
system’s functionality is contributed by the PLCHMR module. It is designed for use with
the StrobeGuard, Model SG-60E High Intensity Obstruction Lighting System. The
system is designed and manufactured in compliance with Federal Aviation
Administration Advisory Circular 150/5345-43E. The PLCHMR system will monitor and
report on up to 24 flash-heads controlled by a single controller at distances up to 2500
feet.
The PLCHMR System module is shown in Figure 2.2-1. The major components of the
retrofit kit consist of the following:
• PLCHMR System Module P/N 40002083-001
• Model SGC-60 Master Controller replacement Micro-Controller Unit (MCU P/N
40002085-001)
• Model SGF-60 Flash-head replacement micro-controller units (one for every flash
head P/N 40002084-001)
2.2.1 PLCHMR System Module
The PLCHMR module (see Figure 2.2-1) is a configurable microprocessor-based
system that monitors a StrobeGuard, Model SG-60E High Intensity Obstruction
Lighting system via the RS485 control and status network. The PLCHMR outputs alarm
status via dry contact relays to a remote alarm monitoring system. The PLCHMR
module is preassembled and consists of three circuit card assemblies affixed to
mounting plate. The module provides 2 wiring harnesses that must be attached to two
terminal connectors located on the Model SGC-60 Master Controller (See Figure 2.2-2).
2.2.2 Model SGC-60 Master Controller replacement Micro-Controller Unit
The Master Controller (see Figure 3.3-1) is a micro-controller based system that
controls the flash interval and timing, flash intensity, and monitors the complete
StrobeGuard system via the StrobeGuard RS485 control and status network
(SCSN). The MCU must be replaced during the installation process in order for the
PLCHMR to monitor the SCSN. Software in the new micro controller changes the baud
rate of the SCSN from 300 to 9600 baud. A replacement MCU is provided as part of the
upgrade kit (P/N 40002085-001 and replaces P/N40000328-001).
2.2.3 Model SGF-60-E Flash-head replacement Micro-Controller Unit
The SGF-60E Flash-head (see Figure 2.2-3) is a micro-controller based system that is
designed to control a capacitor discharge xenon flash tube unit. The Flash-head
receives its flash interval, timing, flash intensity commands from, and returns status to
the Master Controller via the SCSM. Replacement MCUs are provided as part of the
upgrade kit (P/N 40002084-001 and replaces old MCU P/N40000324-001).
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service, and repair of this equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with
specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design,
manufacture, and intended use of this equipment. Honeywell assumes no liability for the
customer’s failure to comply with these requirements, as listed below.
1. Any interruption of the protective grounding conductor (inside or
outside the instrument) or disconnecting the protective earth ground
terminal is likely to make this equipment dangerous. Intentional
interruption is prohibited.
2. Whenever it is likely that the ground protection has been impaired, the
equipment must be made inoperative by removing AC line power, and
then shall be secured against any unintended operation.
3. Ensure that only fuse / Breakers with the required rated current and of
the specified type (normal blow, time delay, etc.) are used for
replacement. The use of repaired fuses and the short-circuiting of fuse
holders must be avoided.
4. Electrical energy available at many points may result in personal injury
or death if touched. Any adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the
opened equipment while power is applied shall be avoided as much as
possible, however some maintenance described in this manual is
performed with power supplied to the equipment while protective
covers are removed. When repair with power applied is unavoidable,
only a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved shall carry
out maintenance. Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless
another person, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is
present.
5. Do not install, substitute parts or perform any unauthorized
modification to the equipment.
6. Make sure the input voltage selection on the Ferroresonant
transformer assembly matches the line voltage before applying power
to the unit.
Capacitors inside the equipment may still be charged after the equipment has
been disconnected from its power source, even though the equipment was
designed to drain charge from the capacitors when power is removed. Do not put
hands or tools in the Flash-head if the High Voltage Indicator neon lamp NE1 is
ON, which is located on the High Voltage Circuit Board. (Refer to Figure 2.2-3)
7. Do not confuse the High Voltage Indicator NE1, with the POWER ON
Indicator located on the Ferro resonant Transformer Assembly. It is
possible for the High Voltage Indicator NE1 to be ON After the main
AC power to the unit is turned OFF (POWER ON Indicator is OFF). If
this happens, the energy stored in the capacitor Assembly must be
discharged before performing maintenance.
This system uses lethal voltages in the Flash-head. Unless absolutely
necessary, do not attempt to service or adjust the equipment with AC
line power applied.
Safety interlock switches are provided in the Flash-head enclosure to
interrupt main AC power to the power supply. These interlock switches
are activated when the Flash-head door is opened in a conventional
manner. No interlock is provided when other means of access are
used. Do not tamper with the interlocks by opening or shorting the
terminals.
The POWER ON Indicator is ON when the Ferroresonant Transformer is
powered. If the POWER ON Indicator is OFF, Line input AC power may
still be present in the system.
WARNING!
AC LINE VOLTAGE IS STILL PRESENT WHEN INTERLOCKS ARE
ACTIVATED. DISCONNECT POWER AT THE MAIN AC CIRCUIT
BREAKERS BEFORE INSPECTING OR SERVICING, UNLESS
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE WITH
POWER ON.
WARNING!
Flash tubes in this lighting system produce brilliant flashes of light
containing some ultraviolet radiation that can cause temporary or
permanent eye damage.
DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE FLASH-HEAD WHILE IT IS IN
OPERATION.
