B-KON Flashers have proven their reliability through years of use on Communication Towers, Smoke Stacks,
Cooling Towers, Tall Buildings, Bridges and Utility Towers. The highest quality components are encapsulated
in a rugged plastic housing with a molded-in heat transfer plate. The flash rate, ratio, and fail-safe design meet
FAA regulations. Zero voltage switching can incr ease lamp life up to ten times. The FS155-30RF & FS165-30RF
include superior RF Filtering Circuitry for use in high RF installations; including AM Hot Towers.

Zero Voltage Switching - Up
to 10 Times Longer Lamp Life
No RFI Caused by Contacts

OperationOperation

Upon application of input voltage, the T2 OFF time
begins. At the end of the OFF time, the T1 ON time
begins and the load energizes. At the end of T1, T2
begins and the load de-energizes. This cycle repeats
until voltage is removed.
