Ordering Information
The Radio Controller permits the remote
activation of the airport lighting system
by the pilot. This is accomplished by
keying the aircraft’s microphone in a
particular sequence at a designated
frequency. For the 1 step radio controller
the system is activated upon receiving
a series of pulses of radio frequency
energy within a 5 second period. After
receipt of five pulses the relay closes.
The solid state timer will continue to
operate for 15 minutes after which it
will cause the system to revert to the
original “off” condition. The timer is reset
by the receipt of five pulses at anytime,
reinitiating the 15 minute “run” cycle.
The operating time may beselected in
15 minute increments from 15 minutes
to 1 hour by setting switches on the
Timer Board
Each controller includes an antenna. If desired, specify by description a remote antenna with
50 feet (15 m) of coaxial cable. Specify the radio frequency.
For the 3 step radio controller the
systems is activated upon receiving
a series of pulses of radio frequency
energy within a five second period. At
the third pulse the first relay closes, at
the fifth pulse the second relay closes, at
the seventh pulse the third relay closes.
At any time the pilot has the option of
sending three, five, or seven pulses
to command the intensity level to his
desires. The system will remain at the
intensity of the last command received.
The solid state timer will continue to
operate for 15 minutes after which it
will cause the system to revert to the
“off” condition. The Timer is reset by the
receipt of any command at any time,
re-initiating the 15 minute “run” cycle.
