High Intensity Elevated LED Approach Light

Product Application
SafeLED IQ Elevated light is a high intensity
unidirectional light-emitting diode (LED) light fixture
suitable for airfield lighting. Applications include:
Approach Centre Line.
Approach Crossbar
Approach side row.
Wing bar.
Runway threshold.

Features

Runway end.

The SafeLED IQ Elevated fixture is equipped with

integrated IQ technology for easy individual
monitoring and control.

Compliance
ICAO: Annex 14 Vol I.

The SafeLED IQ communicates over the series

circuit using the power line communication
technique. The SafeLED IQ on command either
turns on or off the LED based light source, and also
indicates the status of the light (on, off, lamp failure)
back to the system.

FAA: EB No. 67C, except for 2.10

Technology Benefits
Low power consumption.
Control and monitoring capability with built-in
IQ functionality and the ASP system.
The electronic components are encapsulated
in waterproof polyurethane.
Over voltage surge and lightning protection.
The fixture can easily be adjusted vertically
and horizontally with one hand.
The front window is made of flat tempered
glass.
The light fixture intensity follows the intensity
steps of the CCR.
Backwards compatible with halogen lamps on
CCR series circuit.
Can be powered by an isolating transformer
on a standard 6.6A primary loop, due to the
internal converter in the fixture.

Segmentation of lights into selectively controlled

blocks reduces the installation and hardware costs
significantly. This increases the flexibility of the
operational design of the airfield lighting system.
The light segment can easily be redefined or
added in the software.
The optical head of the fixture can easily be
adjusted, both horizontally and vertically. The
adjustment is continuously variable in both
directions. It allows vertical adjustment between - 8
to + 20 from the horizontal plane.
The SafeLED IQ reacts as a halogen lamp with a
resistive load profile, due to an active power factor
correction. When turning on a CCR, or changing
intensities, the CCR is less likely to trip as the
current does not fluctuate with the SafeLED IQ
technology.

All external parts are made of aluminum

alloys. All fixings and fastenings are stainless
steel.
Compatible with the 2A system.
