WARNING: Allow only qualified personnel to perform the
following tasks. Observe and follow the safety instructions in
this document and all other related documentation.
WARNING: The power adapters are heavy. Exercise caution
when lifting or moving power adapters. Use the handle, not the
leads, to lift the power adapter. Failure to observe this warning
may result in personal injury.
This section describes instructions for installing the PA-3 power adapter (50 Hz/oil-filled) on series circuits. Refer to airport project plans and specifications for the specific installation instructions.
Unpack the carton/crate upon receipt and examine the power adapter to ensure no damage has occurred during shipment. Note any exterior damage to the carton that might lead to detection of equipment damage.
If you note any damage to any equipment, file a claim with the carrier immediately. The carrier may need to inspect the equipment.
This subsection describes installation information.
Method of Installation
The watertight PA-3 power adapter (50 Hz) assembly is satisfactory for direct earth burial or above-surface installation. Install the PA-3 upright within 15 degrees of vertical. The preferred method of installation is to install the power adapter in a deep L-867 can. Refer to Table 9 for L-867 can dimensions.

PA-3 Power Adapter (50 Hz) Installation on 6.6 A Series Circuit
WARNING: Disconnect power to the lighting circuit before
attempting to make any electrical connections. Coordinate a
power outage with air traffic personnel before turning off power
to the airport lighting system.
To connect the PA-3 power adapter (50 Hz) to a 6.6 A series circuit, perform the following procedure:
1. If no direct interconnection is possible, cut the runway lighting circuit
in accordance with proper airport installation authority regulations.
NOTE: If the power adapter is installed near a runway circuit splice such as an isolation transformer, the runway lighting circuit cable will not need to be cut.
2. Use a single-pole L-823 connector kit to terminate the cut wire ends of
the series circuit. Refer to FAA Advisory Circular AC 150/5345-26.
3. Using a minimum AWG 8 wire, connect a good earth ground to the
earth ground stud on the top of the power adapter.

Wiring Checkout and Startup

To verify wiring is working properly, perform the following:
Check for proper installation and firm connections.
Measure output voltage of power adapter on each step using a true rms
voltmeter with load on the power adapter turned on.
NOTE: No actual startup procedure for the power adapter exists. The power adapter is considered to be a part of the runway lighting circuit, and has no on/off switching devices. Power is present on the output leads of the power adapter when the series lighting circuit is energized.

4. Repair

Introduction

WARNING: Allow only qualified personnel to perform the
following tasks. Observe and follow the safety instructions in
this document and all other related documentation.
WARNING: De-energize the regulator supplying power to the
circuit connected to the power adapter. Failure to observe this
warning may result in personal injury, death, or equipment
damage.
This section provides procedures for repairing and servicing the PA-3 power adapter (50 Hz).
Under normal operating conditions the internal components of the oil-filled PA-3 power adapter will not require service. In the unlikely event of a component failure in the power adapter or if a fuse blows or a tap needs to be changed, the power adapter can be serviced and repaired. To access and service the components, follow the disassembling and assembling procedures in this section.
Refer to Table 11 for replacement parts for the PA-3 power adapter (50 Hz).

Disassembling PA-3 Oil-filled Power Adapter

2001 Siemens Airfield Solutions, Incorporated 96A0260B Page 12 All rights reserved Issued 5/01
To disassemble the PA-3 oil-filled power adapter, perform the following procedure:
1. Turn off the power to the circuit, and remove the power adapter from
the can in the field for disassembly in a shop. Reconnect the L-823 connectors and close the can to use the series circuit, if necessary.
2. Place the power adapter upright on the floor and remove twelve hex
nuts located on the perimeter of the lid of the power adapter.
NOTE: Do not lay power adapter on its side to remove hex nuts. Do not remove any other bolts or components found on the outside lid of the power adapter.
Page 18
PA-3 Power Adapter (50 Hz/Oil-Filled) Repair
Disassembling PA-3 Oil-filled Power Adapter (contd.)
3. After removing the hex nuts, insert a utility knife into the blue RTV
gasket material located between the lid and the can flange. Insert the knife as deep as possible to cut the gasket material. Repeat this process around the entire diameter of the can lid.
4. After cutting the gasket material, insert a flat-bladed screwdriver
between the lid and the can flange and pry the lid loose. Repeat this process in four places 90 degrees apart. Use a small hammer, if necessary, to force the screwdriver under the lid.
5. Once the lid is loose, grasp the handles on the top of the lid and lift the
power adapter lid that has the component plate attached out of the canister.
NOTE: The lid assembly weighs approximately 86 pounds (39.009 kg). It is recommended that two individuals do the lifting. An
alternate method is to use a small overhead crane to lift the lid assembly out of the canister.
6. Place the component package on the workbench. Troubleshoot the
system and make any necessary repairs.

Assembling PA-3 Oil-filled Power Adapter

7. After repairs, perform a systems check before installing the lid with the
component package into the canister. Clean all gasket material from the lid and from the canister flange.
To assemble the PA-3 oil-filled power adapter, perform the following procedure:
1. Clean all gasket material from the lid and from the canister flange.
Prevent gasket material from falling into the oil. Remove any RTV that has fallen into the oil.
2. Inspect the condition of the transformer oil. Oil level should be
6 inches (15.24 cm) from the top of the canister. The oil should be replaced if the oil is contaminated with water or dirt.
NOTE: Shell Diala transformer oil is used in the canister. This oil does not contain any PCBs. Dispose of used oil in accordance with local, state, and federal EPA regulations.
3. Refill with Shell Diala transformer oil only. Fill with approximately 5
gallons of oil to within 6 inches (15.24 cm) of the top of the canister.

Page 19
PA-3 Power Adapter (50 Hz/Oil-Filled) Repair
Assembling PA-3 Oil-filled Power Adapter (contd.)
4. Make sure that all components are clean and free of any contaminants.
Clean as necessary. If power cords or squeeze connectors have been replaced, make sure the connector is sealed around the cord. Use any quality pipe dope on the connector threads.
5. After removing all of the old gasket material, apply a 3/8-inch-
(.953-cm-) diameter (minimum) bead of sealant around the entire canister flange. Locate the bead just inside the screw holes in the flange. Apply a smaller circle of sealant around each of the screw holes.
6. Position the component package over the canister. Align the holes in
the lid with the studs and insert the component package into the canister.
7. Reinstall the twelve nuts and lockwashers. Apply Loctite AV or
equivalent to the stud threads and then install hex nuts. Hand tighten hex nuts to secure lid to prevent RTV from being totally squeezed out. After tightening the hex nuts, wipe off the excess RTV and form a thin gasket film around the joint between the lid and the flange.
CAUTION: Do not torque hex nuts.
8. After allowing the RTV to cure for two hours, use the air-fill valve on
the top of the lid to pressurize the power adapter to 12 ± 2 psi
(0.828 ± 0.138 bar) and check for leaks.
NOTE: Another way to detect leaks is to submerge the canister in the
upright position in a tank of water. All joints, connections, and seams can be brushed with a mixture of liquid soap and water.
CAUTION: The pressure relief valve is set for 18−22 psi
(1.2411.517 bar). Do not exceed 14 psi (.965 bar).
9. Repair leaks, if necessary.
