Technical Description
7.1 Theory of Operation (Basic Regulator)
The information presented here applies to a standard model Constant Current Regulator (CCR).
Regulators supplied with options may have minor operating differences, but the basic operation is
the same for all units.
Many functions in the CCR are controlled by a custom programmed electronic circuit. This
device performs brightness step and digital display control, open circuit and over-current sensing,
and handles system fault conditions. Several optional features also use the programmed circuit to
reduce the amount of additional circuitry required. Each of the standard functions is discussed in
detail in the following paragraphs. Optional functions are discussed in Supplemental sections of
this manual.
7.1.1
Current Regulation
A power transformer in conjunction with a Solid State Relay (SSR) is used for current regulation.
This design provides precise control regardless of the load size or line voltage. For very low loads
or low brightness settings, the on-time of the SSR will be large. At increased loads or higher
brightness settings, the on-time will be lesser.
The SSR is controlled using closed-loop electronic feedback control. Load current is sensed by a
current transformer which generates an analog signal. The signal is processed by an electronic
circuit and compared to a predetermined reference. The result is a pulse width modulated control
signal. This control signal is applied to the coil of the SSR.
7.1.2
Brightness Control
Each brightness step has a specific digital reference value store in electronic memory. When the
desired step is selected by the rotary switch, the proper memory value is converted to an analog
signal. This signal is the reference used for comparison as discussed in paragraph 7.1.1. All
remote brightness connections are electrically isolated from the control electronics by optocouplers for transient protection.

L-828 Constant Current Regulator
Series 828X0F1
15kW, 20kW 6.6 & 20 Amperes
7.1.3
Remote Control Operation
The regulator can operate remotely using external switches connected to the remote control
terminal block TB1. The exact wiring of these switches depends upon whether control power is
obtained from the regulator internal supply or from an external source.
The regulator turns on to brightness B1 (or B10 or ON) when control power is applied to terminal
CC and B1 (B10). To get a higher brightness, control power is applied to terminal B2, B3, B4 or
B5. (For three-step regulators, apply control power to B30 or B100, for one-step regulators, apply
control power to on). Only the terminal for the desired step and CC require control power. If two
or more steps are energized together, the regulator will operate at the highest brightness step
selected.
7.1.4
Digital Display
A multi-purpose Digital Display provides system operation data. Under normal conditions, the
display shows the output current being supplied by the CCR. Under power-up and the system
fault conditions, it displays specific CCR status data.
7.1.5
Protective System
7.1.5.1 Overcurrent Protection
Overcurrent protection is triggered by comparison of the value of the feedback signal to
predetermined limits. In the event of a minor overcurrent (between 5% and 25% above rated
output), the control system responds within 5 seconds. If a major overcurrent (greater than 25%
above rated output), occurs, the control system responds immediately. The response consists of
de-energizing the load by opening the main contactor and providing status data to the digital
display. To reset and re-energize the CCR, the rotary switch or remote brightness control switch
must be set to OFF for at least one second.
7.1.5.2 Open –Circuited Load Protection
This protection is triggered by comparison of the value of the feedback signal to a minimum
current level. If the current remains below 2 amps for about 2 seconds, the control system
performs the same shutdown sequence as for overcurrent protection.

7.1.5.4 Transient Protection
Protection against transients from lighting or other sources is provided. Lighting arrestor LA1
protects the regulator power lines. Arrestors LA2 and LA3 protect the regulator load lines.
Varistors are provided on the control system assembly to protect it from transients on the power
and control lines.
The lighting protection provided exceeds the requirements of the applicable Advisory Circular.
Lighting is a naturally occurring phenomenon that varies in intensity and frequency based upon
geographic location. Therefore, each installation should be evaluated to determine the need for
additional lighting protection.
7.1.6
System Status Information
The CCR Digital Display is used during power-up and fault conditions to provide data regarding
system status.
7.1.6.1 Power-Up
When power is applied to the CCR and when resetting from a latched fault mode, the control
electronics performs a series of internal checks. If these are completed without incident, the
control program number will be displayed for one second. The display will then begin to indicate
CCR output current. If any check is not successfully completed, the system will “lock-up” and not
allow the regulator to come on in any step. Cycle power to recover.

7.1.6.2 Fault Status Message
If the CCR control circuits detect an abnormal system shutdown, a message will automatically
scroll across the display. When two or more fault conditions exist, the most recent occurrence is
displayed. Messages are cleared when the system is reset or conditions return to normal. Refer to
the Operations Section 8.2 for information on specific messages.

8.2 Operation
Figure 2 shows the standard controls and indicators on the front control panel.
8.2.1
Local Control Rotary Switch
The local control rotary switch in conjunction with the digital display acts as an interactive control
terminal for commanding the regulator into local brightness steps or to place it into remote control
mode.
8.2.2
Digital Display
During normal operation, the digital display functions as a True RMS ammeter, displaying the
regulator load current. During power-up, under system fault conditions the display performs other
functions. When these other functions are finished using the display, it automatically returns to
reading load current.
When power is initially applied to the regulator, the computer performs checks for valid operation.
If these checks are completed successfully, the display will read “P-X.X.”, where X.X is the
software program version number, for a period of 1 second. The normal display activity will
begin.
If the regulator should shut down due to system fault, a message will immediately begin to scroll
across the display to explain the reason for the shut down. See Section 9 for further information.
8.2.3
System Fault Display
If a regulator shutdown occurs, you can find out what happened by reading the display:
“HIGH LOAD CURRENT” – Overcurrent protection trip.
“LOOP” – Open Load protection trip.

WARNING
INSTALLATION, SERVICE, MAINTENANCE OR OPERATION SHOULD BE
PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY.
9.1 Periodic Maintenance
The Constant Current Regulator should be inspected periodically as shown below:
Interval
Procedure
1. Remove main power from the regulator.
2. Open the front door
3. Check all wiring connection for loose connections and tighten as
necessary.
4. Check for broker or damaged wires and parts.
6 months
5. Remove dust build – up.
6. Inspect housing for rust or chipped paint. Clean and touch up with
paint as required.
7. Close door.
8. Restore primary power to the regulator. Operate the regulator at all
brightness steps, first by local control, then by remote control. Check
for proper load currents.
9.2 Corrective Maintenance
Corrective maintenance is required when the regulator does not work properly. This usually
requires the replacement of parts or subassemblies. The use of easily removable subassemblies
make repairs a simple task. The removal and replacement method should be obvious to qualified
personnel.

WARNING
VOLTAGES ABOVE 1000 VOLTS ARE PRESENT WHEN THE REGULATOR IS
OPERATING. DO NOT REPAIR OR SERVICE WITHOUT FIRST REMOVING
POWER FROM THE REGULATOR. THE USE OF LOCK-OUT DEVICES IS
RECOMMENDED.
ENERGY MAY BE STORED IN CAPACITORS. DISCHARGE CAPACITORS BEFORE
WORKING ON THEM.
REGULATORS WITH REMOTE CONTROL MAY HAVE POWER COMING ON THE
REMOTE CONTROL LINES EVEN WHEN THE CCR IS OFF.
AIRFIELD CIRCUITS MAY BE ENERGIZED BY OTHER SOURCES. CHECK FOR
VOLTAGE BETWEEN OUTPUT TERMINALS AND FROM OUTPUT TERMINALS TO
GROUND BEFORE WORKING ON AIRFIELD CIRCUIT.
The control assembly contains parts which can be replaced in the field by a service person. If
properly trained personnel are not available, replace the entire control assembly. Improper
removal and handling can cause damage to the equipment. Particular areas of concern are:
A. Remove power from the regulator before disconnecting the connector plugs from the control
board.
B. Note connections of terminal block connectors when replacing them back onto the control
board.
CAUTION: THE CIRCUIT CARDS WITHIN THE CONTROL ASSEMBLY
ARE STATIC SENSITIVE. DO NOT REMOVE OR HANDLE THEM
WITHOUTHT A STATIC CONTROL WRIST STRAP.
9.3 Problem Solving Guide
This guide will assist qualified airport maintenance personnel in locating and correcting equipment
failures. Problems associated with option functions are addressed in the specific option
Supplement. If further assistance is required, contact the Customer Service Department at CrouseHinds Airport Lighting Products, Windsor, Connecticut. (Reference Figure 11 Wiring Diagram)

9.3.1
Fault Isolation
The first step in fault isolation is the preliminary evaluation. Start by checking for disconnected
wires, switches in the wrong position, blown or missing fuses, etc. Determine if other equipment
on the same circuit is operating properly. Be sure that the equipment is being used properly by
checking the operation instructions. Finally, if the digital display is working, use the displayed
message to localize the problem.
If these checks do not pinpoint the problem, try operating the regulator with a short across the load
terminals. OPERATING INTO A SHORT WILL NOT HARM THE REGULATOR. This is
the best way to find out if the problem is with the regulator or the load circuit. Once these checks
have been made, refer to the checklist for further instructions.
