Flash Head

Flash heads need to be mounted such that all four mounting feet are in direct contact with an unpainted surface in order to allow for proper grounding of the electrical components. It also needs to be mounted such that it will not obstruct access to the internal components for the purpose of installing and maintaining the equipment. The following diagrams detail the mounting dimensions and clearance for proper access.

Leveling

Flash heads need to be leveled properly for correct vertical beam spread. The following diagrams detail how to use a compact “torpedo” level on two axes to ensure that the flash head is mounted level. If the flash head mounting surface is not level already use shims to correct. Do not compromise grounding of the four flash head mounting feet.

System Overview

The major components of the IFH-1710 are shown in the block diagram below. A sixconductor flexible cable comes pre-installed to provide power and access to a Form-C alarm contact. The internal controller monitors an integrated photodiode to determine the appropriate operating mode (day or night). In night mode the internal controller uses solid state electronics to alternate AC power to the IFH-1710 power supply at appropriately timed intervals to create the selected flash rate. IFH-1710 uses an integrated GPS receiver to determine the exact time and synchronizes the flash sequence with other IFH1710 units or competitor’s units. The AC current to the power supply is monitored and an alarm generated if the current falls below the normal operating range or if the integrated flasher circuit fails. The IFH-1710 power supply converts AC power into a controlled DC current. The controlled DC current flows through all 12 LED modules in series causing the LEDs to produce light. Each LED module contains three high power LEDs with a custom optic mounted in front of each LED. The optic focuses the light from the LED into the required beam pattern.

Flash Inhibit Input

A Flash Inhibit Input is for connection to an Aircraft Detection System (ADS). The input accepts 12 to 240 VAC or VDC (polarity insensitive) to inhibit flashing when no aircraft are detected by the ADS. The red and green Mode LEDs will flash to indicate flashing is inhibited. When no signal is present on the Flash Inhibit Input the IFH-1710 will operate in the mode determined by the photodiode. This function must be enabled via DIP switch SW2-3.

When flashing is Inhibited, in order to verify continuing operational readiness, the IFH1710 will perform a Readiness Test beginning around midnight Pacific Time each day. The Readiness Test will cause the IFH-1710 to operate in night mode (flashing) for approximately one minute. Should the IFH-1710 detect a malfunction during the Readiness Test, the alarm relay will activate and remain activated after the test period ends. The alarm will clear upon the next test cycle where no malfunction is detected. The alarm will also clear if the Flash Inhibit Input is de-activated or if power to IFH-1710 is cycled.

The ADS must deactivate the Flash Inhibit Input for at a minimum of one second every 24 hours. Failure of the ADS to deactivate the Flash Inhibit Input will result in the IFH-1710 resuming normal operation with the mode determined by the photodiode.

 DIP Switch SW2-3 must be On to enable the Flash Inhibit Input.  Flash Inhibit Input electrical connections are made using the Brown & Yellow wires

in the flash head cable.

 The Flash Inhibit Input accepts 12 to 240 VAC or VDC to inhibit flashing.  The Red and Green Mode LEDs flash together when flashing is inhibited.  A Readiness Test is automatically performed once every 24 hours.  The ADS must deactivate the Flash Enable Input once every 24 hours.

Please read section Safety Warning in this manual before servicing this equipment. Disconnect power to the tower lighting controller at the circuit breaker(s) before attempting maintenance/trouble-shooting.

Maintenance

The maintenance outlined below should be performed at least once annually. After 5 years of normal operation is recommended that the light engine be replaced. Periodic cleaning of the clear cover with a standard glass or acrylic cleaner is recommended

 Verify that the fixture is functional in all operating modes with no indication of an

alarm condition on alarm indicator lights, alarm dry contacts, or digital monitoring interfaces.

 Verify that the photoelectric control operates the system in the correction operating

mode (day/night), light color (white/red) and intensity (day/night intensity) when exposed to light and dark ambient lighting conditions.

 Inspect the fixture for any type of obstruction that could block light output at any

point along the 360 degree horizontal output of the fixture. Note that multiple fixtures may be used to achieve 360 degree coverage.

 Inspect lenses and transparent covers for damage.

 Clean the fixture lens or transparent cover using a mild detergent and soft

nonabrasive cloth.

 Inspect all electrical wiring connections for corrosion, arcing, damage, insulation

degradation or loosening of the connection. Correct, replace or secure as needed.

 Inspect all interconnecting cables and power supply cables and conduits for

damage.

 Verify the all cables are fastened securely at appropriate intervals to prevent

damage.

 Inspect all electrical components for evidence of damage caused by lightning or

power line induced electrical surges. Replace any components showing evidence of damage.

 #2 Phillips Screwdriver (8” or longer blade length)  Small tip (<0.1”) slotted screw driver  Needle Nose Pliers

Trouble-Shooting

Should the IFH-1710 red/infrared LED beacon fail to produce light, perform the following steps:

Verify that AC power is being supplied to IFH-1710.

Press and hold the TEST button on the controller board for two seconds. Using a digital voltmeter measure the AC voltage on controller board from P3-3 to P3-2 (black to white). For 10 flash cycles after pressing TEST the controller should enter night mode operation. The MODE indicator LED should flash during this time. The controller board should produce a pulsing AC voltage on P3. If this fails to happen replace the controller board.

Using a digital multi-meter measure the DC voltage from P2-1 to P2-2 (red to black) on the power supply board. Normal operating voltage is 65 to 100VDC.

 A voltage near 180V indicates that one of the twelve LED modules may have

failed. Use an ITL-0705-TST Tester to check each LED module and replace as necessary. If an LED module has failed, check for and replace any damaged optics on that module. Be sure that the optics snap into the alignment holes on the LED modules during replacement.

 A voltage under 65V indicates that the power supply may have failed. Replace

fuse F1 on the power supply board or replace the power supply board.
