L-806
Wind Cone
Uses
Provides visual surface wind direction and velocity
information to pilots in flight or on the ground at airports
and heliports.
Features
• The L-806 Wind Cone is a low-mass, frangible-designed
wind cone available in two styles, lighted or unlighted,
with an eight-foot wind sock
• The lighted wind cone assemblies include an L-810
steady-burning red obstruction light
• Sealed hanger bearings allow precision vaning for true
wind direction in all types of weather and wind
conditions
• Mounted on rigid low-mass-supporting assembly
• Easy installation and maintenance
• The lighted wind cone assemblies may be powered by a
6.6A or 20A series circuit using a SAS power adapter or
from a direct 120V AC source
• The nylon fabric sock is treated for water repellency
and resistance to rot and mildew
• The standard color is aviation orange and the colorfastness exceeds Method 5671 of Federal Standard 191.
Other colors such as white or alternate orange/white
checked are available as a special order.
Theory of Operation
The operation of the wind cone is entirely dependent on
the direction and relative velocity of the surface wind.
Movement of the wind through the open throat of the
cage and into the sock causes the tail to inflate. The tail
of the inflated sock indicates true wind direction for
velocities as low as three knots through a 360° circle
about the vertical shaft.
Lighting Assembly
The lighting assembly consists of:
• A 69W, 120V AC, L-810 red incandescent obstruction
light mounted at the highest point of the wind cone
assembly or a 120V AC, 60Hz, L-810 LED red obstruction light and
• A group of four 120W PAR38 halogen floodlights
mounted at 90° intervals on a junction box that
illuminates the exterior of the wind cone (externally
lighted) or two 100W/120V AC reflectorized lamps that
illuminate the interior of the wind cone (internally
lighted)
The internally lighted wind cone can also be supplied
with two 100W/6.6A lamps.

Lamp-Out Relay Operation
Spare Components
120V AC input power to the dual L-810 fixture energizes a
relay and the normally operating lamp #1. If lamp #1 fails,
the relay is de-energized causing the 120V AC to be
switched to the backup lamp #2. At the same time, 120V
AC power is also switched to the alarm terminal, which
can be used to activate a user-supplied alarm.
