1.3 Safety Precautions
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 fuses 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 fuseholders 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,
maintenance shall be carried out only by a skilled person who is aware
of the hazard involved. 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. 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 Flashhead until
the High Voltage Indicator neon lamp DS1 on the High Voltage &
Trigger board is extinguished. (Refer to Figure 1-2, Page 1-3, for
the location of High Voltage Indicator DS1 - do not confuse the High
Voltage Indicator DS1, with the PWR ON lamp DS1.) Note that it is
possible for the High Voltage Indicator DS1 to be lit even when the
PWR ON lamp DS1 is off. If this happens, the energy storage
capacitors C1 - C3 must be discharged before performing
maintenance.
SG-60 High Intensity Strobe System 1-4 Manual EPM-00000019 Rev A
Airport Systems
This system uses lethal voltages in the Flashhead. Unless absolutely
necessary, do not attempt to service or adjust the equipment with AC
line power applied.

SECTION 2. INSTALLATION & POWER UP
WARNING!
Modifications to the Power Supply are required for certain applications.
Remove input power at circuit breakers and discharge capacitors with
an approved grounding rod before attempting any necessary
modifications.
2.1 Unpacking
Carefully unpack each item and remove any internal packing material from the master
controller, and the flashhead/power supply. Carefully check the supplied materials with
the High Intensity Lighting System bill of materials. There are many small items that
should be supplied inside clear plastic bags, verify each of these bags contain the
proper amount of parts per the bill of materials. Report any shortages of materials
immediately to the Honeywell Technical Support.
Examine each item for obvious physical damage. Report any claims to the carrier
immediately. Pertinent data such as installation drawings, schematics, interconnection
drawings, and operation manuals are included in the Master Controller carton. The
flashtubes are packaged separately inside each Flashhead carton. Do not remove
flashtubes from their boxes until you are ready to install them.
2.2 System Configuration
Honeywell pre-configures the system to match the installation. However, there are
cases where complete installation information is not available prior to the system
leaving the factory or the installation has changed. Setting the configuration may also
be necessary when replacing individual units in the system. The following is a guide
for configuring the Master Controller and the Flashheads.
2.2.1 Master Controller Configuration
There are a number of system control switches and configuration switch blocks (DIP
switches) on the Master Controller. The configuration switch blocks may have multiple
switches. Reference to the individual switches will be made by referring to the switch
block number followed by the number of the individual switch as labeled on the switch
block. For example, SW1 (Figure 2-10, Item 1, Page 2-25) has 5 individual switches.
The third switch from the left is labeled as #3 on the switch block and will be referred to
as SW1-3.
SG-60 High Intensity Strobe System 2-1 Manual EPM-00000019 Rev A
Airport Systems
2.2.1.1 System Controls
Set Master Controller switches (Figure 1-1, Page 1-2) as follows:
POWER SWITCH -------------------------------------------------------------------------- OFF
LOCAL / REMOTE Switch ------------------------------------------------------------ LOCAL
MODE Switch ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAY
The Master Controller has the following control switches (Figure 1-1, Page 1-2):
• POWER SWITCH: Toggle switch that turns input AC line power on/off in the Master
Controller. Does not affect AC power to the Flashheads. Input voltage is present at
terminal block PB1, even with the power switch turned off.
• RESET Switch: Momentary pushbutton that resets the Master Controller. Switch
must be held for about one second to activate.
• REMOTE / LOCAL Mode Switch: Two-position toggle switch that permits manual
(local) selection of the flash intensity level using the DAY / TWILIGHT / NIGHT
rotary switch. In normal (remote) operation, permits automatic operation controlled
by the Ambient Light Sensor photocell.
• DAY / TWILIGHT / NIGHT Switch: Three-position rotary switch that allows manual
selection of three light intensities of the system (DAY = high, TWILIGHT =
intermediate, and NIGHT = low). The REMOTE / LOCAL Mode Switch must be in
the LOCAL position to use this switch.
2.2.1.2 Power Configuration
The input voltage selection is set at the factory prior to shipping. The user shall verify
the correct voltage as indicated by the label by Power In terminal block PB1 (Figure
1-1, Page1-2). If the voltage listed on the label does not match the voltage at the site,
contact Tech Support at (805) 581-5591.
2.2.1.3 Configuration Switches
• SW1 – (Figure 2-10, Item 1, Page 2-25). This switch is used to set the
number of Flashheads (including antenna obstruction light (AOL)) in the
system up to 24. If the switches are set for more than 24 the system will still
monitor only 24 Flashheads. The number of lights configured equals the sum
of all the switches set to ON (positive binary). For example, to configure for
10 Flashheads, set SW1-4 (8 lights) to ON and SW1-2 (2 lights) to ON for a
total of 10 (8+2) lights.
§ SW1-1 – Set to ON (up) for 1 light
§ SW1-2 – Set to ON (up) for 2 lights
§ SW1-3 – Set to ON (up) for 4 lights
§ SW1-4 – Set to ON (up) for 8 lights
§ SW1-5 – Set to ON (up) for 16 lights
SG-60 High Intensity Strobe System 2-2 Manual EPM-00000019 Rev A
Airport Systems
• SW2 – (Figure 2-10, Item 2, Page 2-25) This switch is used to set for
Catenary operation (suspended cable warning lights) and for Dual systems
(Red lights at night, and white strobes during the day).
§ SW2-1 – Set to ON (up) for Catenary system.
§ SW2-2 – Set to ON (up) for Dual system.
§ SW2-3 – Set to OFF (down). Reserved for future use.
• SW3 – (Figure 2-10, Item 8, Page 2-25) This switch is used to set the
termination resistor for the communications line.
§ SW3-1 – Set to ON if the Master Controller is at the end of the
communications line. In a typical installation, the communications lines
are terminated at the Master Controller and at the top level of
Flashheads. In this case, this switch should be set ON.
2.2.2 Flashhead Configuration
All of the configuration for the Flashhead in done on the digital controller board.
Because of the high voltage present in the Flashhead, there are interlock switches and
fuses as follows (Figure 1-2, Page 1-3):
• S1 POWER Interlock Switch: Three-position push/pull switch. When the
Flashhead door is opened, S1 interrupts AC line power to transformers T1 and
T2 when using 120VAC single-phase power. (When using 2-phase AC power,
S1 does not interrupt AC power to transformers T1 and T2.) When the
Flashhead door is opened, the PWR ON lamp DS1 to turn off. Also interrupts
power to relay K1, causing the high voltage to be shut off and the energy storage
capacitors to discharge. When door is open and S1 is pulled out manually, the
interlock is defeated, which allows the Flashhead to operate under power.
• S2 MODE Interlock Switch: Three-position push/pull switch. When the
Flashhead door is opened, transfers flash intensity mode select from remote
control (by SGC-60 Master Controller) to local control using switch S3. When
door is open and S2 is pulled out manually, the interlock is defeated, which
allows the Flashhead to operate under remote mode control.
• S3 MODE TEST Switch: Three-position rotary switch allows local flash intensity
mode selection (Day, Twilight or Night) for the individual Flashhead, while not
affecting the operation of any other Flashhead in the system.
• F1 Main Power Line Fuse: Provides protection for AC power to transformer T1.
Value varies with input AC line voltage. Refer to Section 7.0 for the correct fuse
values. Honeywell provides the correct fuse for the supplied power configuration.
• F2 Logic Power Line Fuse: Provides protection for the AC power to the logic
transformer T2. Value varies with input line voltage. Refer to Section 7.0 for the
correct fuse values. Honeywell provides the correct fuse for the supplied power
configuration.

2.2.2.1 Power Configuration
The Flashhead(s) are factory set for the correct AC input line voltage. However, the
user shall verify that the AC line voltage selector block (located on the transformer
board on top of transformer T1, Figure 1-2, Page 1-3) is labeled with the correct AC
line voltage used at the site. For example, voltage selector block part number 77-3319
is labeled for 120VAC. If the voltage selector block is not labeled for the correct AC
line voltage used at the site, the correct voltage selector block must be obtained from
Honeywell, and the AC input wiring to transformer T2 must also be verified and
corrected if necessary according to Figure 3-2, Page 3-12.
2.2.2.2 Configuration Switches
• SW1 – (Figure 2-11, Item 2, Page 2-26) This switch is used to reset the
processor
§ Press and hold – resets the processor and tests the automatic power
reset circuit. Press and hold SW1 until the 5v power indicator (DS1,
Figure 2-11, Item 1, Page 2-26) turns OFF momentarily then release.
• SW2 – (Figure 2-11, Item 4, Page 2-26) This switch is used to set special
operation options. Set all four switches to OFF unless your system meets
one of the two conditions below:
CONDITION 1: You have a Catenary System
§ SW2-1 – Set ON for all Flashheads on top level of a Catenary installation.
§ SW2-2 – Set ON for all Flashheads on bottom level of Catenary
installation.
§ SW2 -1 & -2 – Set both to ON for all Flashheads on middle level of a
Catenary installation.
CONDITION 2: You have Dual (Red/White) system with an older-model
Master Controller.
§ SW2-3 – Set to ON. This is provided for backward compatibility with
older installations only. For new installations this switch is always
OFF. For older white-only installations this switch is also OFF.
To determine if an existing installation has an older Master Controller,
refer to the new Master Controller in Figure 2-10, Page 2-25. Older
Master Controllers do not have terminals TB5-TB9, or an EXT RED switch
SW2-2 (Item 2 in the figure).
Note: Switch SW2-4 is a spare reserved for future use.

• SW3 – (Figure 2-11, Item 3, Page 2-26) Used to specify the ID number for
the Flashhead. Each Flashhead must be set with a unique ID number as
indicated on the installation drawings. There is a diagram next to the switch
showing the values for the switch. The ID number is the total of the values of
the switches set to OFF (negative binary). For example, to set ID #10, set
SW3-2 (value 2) OFF (down) and SW3-4 (value 8) OFF (down) for a total of
10 (2+8).
§ SW3-1 – Set to OFF (down) for value 1
§ SW3-2 – Set to OFF (down) for value 2
§ SW3-3 – Set to OFF (down) for value 4
§ SW3-4 – Set to OFF (down) for value 8
§ SW3-5 – Set to OFF (down) for value 16
• SW4 – (Figure 2-11, Item 5, Page 2-26) This is used for the terminating
resistor on the communications line.
§ SW4-1 – Set to ON (up) for terminating resistor. This should be set ON
only for the Flashhead where the communication lines are terminated. In
a typical installation, the communications lines are terminated at the
Master Controller and the upper most Flashhead. In systems with an
AOL, the AOL is typically the upper most Flashhead. In systems without
an AOL, any one but only one of the Flashheads at the top level can be
set to ON. For all others, set to OFF. If the system is being installed in
stages as the tower is erected, SW4-1 should be set ON for one of the
flashheads at the highest installed level. As additional flashheads are
added at higher levels, adjust the configuration by setting SW4-1 to OFF
in the previous flashhead and set SW4-1 to ON for one of the flashheads
at the highest installed level.
2.2.2.3 Flashtube Installation
The Flashheads are shipped from the factory without the flashtubes installed to prevent
damage during shipping. Install the flashtubes per the following procedure:
1. If Flashhead is already wired to AC power: Shut off the power to the system
by opening the main AC power circuit breakers.
2. Release the Flashhead cover latches.
3. Swing the cover open, exercising caution not to damage the glass face or the
gasket.
4. Unpack the flashtube. Do not touch the glass envelope - contamination from
a fingerprint will degrade the reliability of the flashtube.
5. Holding the flashtube by its metal ends, center it in the reflector assembly
and snap it into place. Make sure the red mark on the flashtube matches the
red mark on the socket assembly.
6. Attach the fast-on connector at each end of the flashtube to each socket
assembly. Make sure wires are not twisted - the metal to glass bond is fragile.

7. Refer to Figure 2-1 below. Dress the electrode wires away from the sides of
the reflector.
8. Close and fasten the Flashhead cover.

2.3 Installation
2.3.1 SGC-60 Master Controller
The Master Controller is connected to Flashheads via the data communications cable
provided by Honeywell. The length of this cable (up to 2500 feet) determines how far
the Master Controller can be mounted from the Flashheads.
A detailed drawing for mounting the Master Controller is shown in Figure 2-2, Page 2-9
2.3.2 SGF-60 Flashhead
Normally the Flashheads are mounted at the uppermost point and additional
referenced elevations on the structure. The Flashhead is connected to its Master
Controller via the data communications cable provided by Honeywell. The length of
this cable (up to 2500 feet) determines how far any Flashhead can be mounted from
the Master Controller.
Honeywell labels all the Flashheads with numbers ranging from 1 to 24 depending on
the number of required lights for the structure. Typically, the upper most level of lights
will contain the lights with numbers 1 through 3 or 4. If the structure has an
appurtenance of greater that 40 feet, an AOL (Antenna Obstruction Light) is required
and it will have a Flashhead Number of 1. The High Intensity Flashheads will start with
Flashhead Number 2. The flashheads should continue down the tower from the top
sequentially ending with the highest number at the bottom level.
The vent hole on the bottom surface of the power supply is covered with a solid plug
prior to shipping. Optional screened plugs are furnished separately.

Airport Systems
Typically, the Flashhead is mounted to a bracket, which is then attached to the
structure. Honeywell can supply brackets for most types of installations.
A detailed drawing for mounting the Flashhead is shown in Figure 2-3, Page 2-10.
2.3.2.1 Setting the Flashhead Elevation
Flashheads must be mounted at the proper vertical angle to assure proper light output.
Depending on the elevation of the light level, the Flashhead may need to be adjusted to
reduce the amount of ground scatter. Please refer to the table below for proper
elevation for the lights.
1. Slightly loosen the angle lock bolts, which are at the bottom of the mounting
arms (see Figure 2-3, Page 2-10). The bolt heads and nuts fit 7/16" wrenches or
nut drivers (tightening will require a pair of tools).
2. Adjust the Flashhead enclosure until the bubble indicator on top of the enclosure
reads level.
3. Take note of the position of the bolt with respect to the silk-screened markings
on the angle indicator. This position is the zero degree position. The markings
are screened at intervals of one degree.
4. Adjust the Flashhead enclosure to aim the beam upward until the bolt head has
shifted by the number of degrees indicated in the table below.
5. Securely tighten both angle lock bolts.

2.3.3 Ambient Light Sensor (Photocell)
The Ambient Light Sensor, when supplied with the system, shall be mounted upright,
away from artificial light (e.g. floodlights), and in a location that will enable the sensor
window to have an unobstructed view of the polar sky (pointed north in the northern
hemisphere, not pointed toward the sun). The photocell housing wire entry is tapped to
allow mounting to 1/2" threaded pipe. Conduit and related hardware will be
supplied by the customer. A 21-foot 3-conductor cable is attached to the photocell
for remote installation.

The cables shall be properly supported and terminated in the junction boxes per the
detailed description provided in section 2.4, page 2-11 of this document. Additional
information regarding cables and junction box installation can be found on the drawing set
for the lighting system. Particular attention should be paid to assure that the data cable
shields are isolated from the junction box housings.
