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.

5.0 Operation
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.

Appendix A: POWER TABLE
Note
• 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 2A power system requires the isolation transformer to be 3.3 times the rating for an IQ-fixture on a 6.6A
constant current power system with a minimum of 200 W
• The regulator load is correct as indicated in the table, but the size of the regulator must be 3.3 times the load that
is needed

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:
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
account.
