Introduction
FAA
• Stop Bar L-862S(L)

• Runway Threshold L-862E(L)
• Runway End L-862E(L)
Features and Benefits
• RELIANCE™ unidirectional elevated light fixtures are available in three versions:

• IQ with integrated ILCMS
• Monitored with integrated fail-open technology
• Non-Mon without monitoring functionality
Efficiency
• High-intensity
• Use less than 50 W, with a Power Factor of 0.95, compared to incandescent fixtures that require 150 W or
200 W lamps.
• Installation on same mounting device as most elevated halogen lights, for a straightforward replacement.
• Leveling and aiming in azimuth of the light are easily performed with the dedicated aiming device.
• Two opposite screws ensure easy and stable leveling.
• Fully dimmable lights, respecting the response curve of traditional halogen lights.
• Available in IQ 2A functionality for use in RELIANCE Intelligent Lighting (ILCMS) for further power savings
and individual intensity control.
Sustainability
• Average MTBF of 56.000 hours at full-intensity and more than 200.000 hours under typical operating conditions,
resulting in significant reduction of ongoing maintenance costs and periodic relamping expenses.
• Low-profile and small in size to withstand heaviest jet blast, even when installed at threshold / runway end.
• When quartz-incandescent fixtures are replaced with LED fixtures, airport staff can add more lights without
increasing CCR size.
• Limits cost for supporting equipment such as isolation transformers and CCRs to strict minimum.
• Use of LED light source eliminates filter replacement and color shifts when viewed at various angles or CCR
step settings.
• IP67 design prevents water, dust and insect entry.
Safety
• Rugged lightning protection that complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.41-1991 Location Category C2 given in FAA Eng. Brief 67.
Category C2 is defined as a 1.2/50 μS – 8/20 μS combination wave, with a peak voltage of 10.000 V and a peak current of 5.000
A.
• Optionally, LED lights can be equipped with an internal monitoring function of the individual light source. In case
of a defect, the LED light automatically disconnects from the secondary side of the isolation transformer, resulting
in an open circuit condition. Therefore external lamp fault detection devices of Constant Current Regulators and
Individual Lamp Control and Monitoring Systems (ILCMS) can be used to monitor failed lights.
Power Supply
Lights have been designed to work with any IEC- or FAA-compliant transformer up to 150 W. See the manual for calculation
of actual circuit VA loads.

Note
• Refer to the appendix of user manual for the RELIANCE elevated lights for a complete power table and the cable
loss formula.
• Refer to the annex section.
Operating Conditions
Operating temperature -55°C to +50°C / -58°F to 122°F
Storage temperature 60 °C to +80 °C / -76 °F to +176 °F
Humidity <95% non condensing
3.3 Monitoring (Option)
The monitoring option is available. You can use the monitoring option with the Lamp Fault Detection of Constant Current
Regulators (CCR) or with Individual Light Control and Monitoring Systems (ILCMS) that check the status of the light by
performing a continuity test on the secondary of the ILCMS remote module. The monitoring option does a check on the light.
In case of a failure of the light, the failure is detected by the electronics embedded in the light.
Note
Contact your local ADB SAFEGATE sales representative for information on the compatibility of the ILCMS system with
the light.

the reference mark may be another fixture in the same row or a stick installed for this purpose.
It is possible to take reference marks at 90, 180 or 270 degrees from the centerline. Typically, you can use this function for
fixtures in a barrette, a side row, a threshold or a wing bar.
Installation of the alignment tool
1. Install the alignment tool (A) over the cooling fin (B) of the optical cartridge.
2. Make sure that the two lower hooks (C) lock the alignment tool on the optical cartridge.
3. Tighten the wing screws (D).

5.0 Operation
5.1 IQ function load (option)
With IQ enabled an additional capacity of 12 W need to be added to the transformer calculations for the powerline
communication of the ILCMS. This has to be available for the communication to pass through without saturating the
transformer (this power is not used and should not be included in the CCR calculation).
CAUTION
RELIANCE IQ is not to be connected to transformers smaller than 65 W.
5.2 2A-system
When dimensioning the isolation transformer size for a 2A-system, that is a series circuit with RELIANCE IQ 2A which is only
supposed to run at 2A, it is important to know that the regular method by adding up the total wattage on the isolation
transformer secondary side, cannot be used. This is because a standard isolation transformer 6.6A/6.6A is marked with a
maximum wattage running at 6.6A. According to the Lenz Law of Induction, the dimensioning property of a transformer is the
total voltage, and not the wattage, of the secondary side of the transformer in a 50/60Hz series circuit system.
The consequence in a 2A-system is the wattage marked on a 6.6A/6.6A isolation transformer must generally be multiplied by
3.3 (6.6/2) to find the total wattage which can be supplied from the transformer without saturating.
NOTICE
The same dimensioning method must be used for a CCR, as the transformer kVA-size marked on a CCR is normally
calculated at 6.6A, not at 2A. There are also more constraints to consider such as spare capacity. For more information,
contact ADB SAFEGATE for a complete CCR dimensioning procedure.

• Extra losses in secondary cables or due to extra equipment (e.g. ILCMS remotes) are not included in above table;
these extra losses will result in a higher required size of isolation transformers.
• Extra losses in primary cables are not included in above table; these extra losses will result in a higher required
CCR load.
• Efficiency of the secondary transformer depends on the supplier of secondary transformers.
For IQ fixtures:
• The minimum dimension for the isolation transformer is 65 W

• The isolation transformer must have an extra 12 VA available on top of the load for communication bandwidth
For fail-open fixtures:
• The maximum dimension for the isolation transformer is 150 W

For a 2A power system, refer to the 2A power system description for further explanation:
• The 2A power system requires the isolation transformer to be 3.3 times the rating for an IQ-fixture on a 6.6A

Appendix B: CABLE LOSS
The cable resistance R (Ohms) for 1 conductor is calculated with following formula:
• R (Ohms) = resistivity of material (Ohm m) * Length (m) / cross sectional area (m2)
• for copper conductors the resistivity is 1.72 10-8 (m2)
For example for 1km 2.5 mm2 copper cond., the resistance R is calculated like this:
1.72 10-8 * 1000 / 2.5 10-6 m2 = 6.88 Ohms
The loss (Watt) is then R * I2 or 6.88 Ohms * 6.62 A2 = 299.69 W / km or 0.299 W / m.
The loss (Watt) for a secondary cable with 2 conductors is thus 2 * 0.299 = 0,599 or 0,6 W / m.
As such we can calculate:
• for a 2.5 mm2 Cu-wire (2 conductors) : 0.6 W / m

• for a 4 mm2 Cu-wire (2 conductors) : 0.4 W / m
• for a 6 mm2 Cu-wire (1 conductor): 0,12 W/m
The cable between the isolation transformer and the lamp adds losses that cannot be ignored when dimensioning the circuits
and selecting rating for secondary transformers and regulators.
NOTICE
Secondary cable lengths should not exceed 100 m.
For a secondary cable of e. g. 20 m of 2.5 mm2 CU-wire, 20 m * 0.6 W / m = 12 W equals the additional loss to be taken into
account.
For a primary cable of e. g. 100 m of 6mm2 CU-wire, 100 m * 0,12 W / m = 12 W equals the additional loss to be taken into
