General Description
Flight Light's low voltage heliport system controller is designed to provide safer and more energy efficient control of LED based heliport lighting systems, and may help buildings earn points for LEED certification. Lighting control is provided by a low voltage DC signal, which is safer than higher voltage AC control signals. This low power design allows systems to be run entirely on solar power. The controller activates the output by internal on/off switch, or options such as an external on/off switch, photocell, programmable timer, or VHF radio control. The system is fully protected from input transients, output overload, over-voltage, and over-temperature conditions. The watertight NEMA 4 enclosure and lock provides protection from adverse weather and security from unauthorized access.

| Heliport System Controller Options
Photocell Option
Use of a photocell is recommended for dusk-to-dawn control of operations of non-solar-powered systems. Photocell is supplied in a UL stabilized high-impact polypropylene housing which contains the cadmium sulfide light sensitive element. Surge protection is provided by a metal oxide varistor rated at 320 joule. It turns on at 1-3 foot candles, has a minimum rated life of 5,000 operations, and an operating temperature range of -40°F to 170°F. Measures 3.07" diameter by 2.15" high.
Programmable Timer Option
The programmable timer option is recommended for precise control of operating times. The programmable timer is a 12 hour, 8 event clock based timer. Multiple on/off times may be programmed into the timer. Each day can be programmed with its own unique timing pattern. An internal battery is capable of maintaining the clock and program memory for up to 3 months without external power.
Radio Control Option w/wo Remote Antenna
The radio control option allows activation of lighting by pilots as they approach the heliport. Pilots may control the lighting with key clicks from their AM transceiver over the VHF aircraft frequency band. System features include a 5 mile minimum operating range (depends on antenna height and a clear line of sight), user selected operating frequency (factory set between 118.0 and 137.0 MHz in 25 KHz increments), optional response settings (system may be set to respond to 3, 5, or 7 clicks), and adjustable activation duration (user programmable from 1 to 35 minutes in 1 minute intervals). The standard version includes an antenna which mounts on the controller enclosure. The receiver with remote antenna option comes with an antenna, antenna mount, 30' RG58 cable, and surge suppressor.
Power Option
The standard model supplies up to 150 watts of power and is capable of controlling most small heliport lighting systems. For larger heliports, the power option may be added, extending the output power capability to 300 watts.
Solar Power Option
The solar power option equips the system to run with free, renewable energy from the sun. Unprecedented in the industry, this green feature is the ideal long-term investment. Ongoing savings afforded by utilizing solar energy are calculated over the lifetime of the installation. The maximum output power is 100 watts, which will drive up to 16 LED fixtures.
