Description
Carmanah’s Solar Elevated Runway Guard Light
(ERGL) provides a distinctive warning to pilots
that they are approaching a runway holding
position and are about to enter an active runway.
The ERGL has a high intensity LED light source
and is powered by our industry leading solar
engine power supply (SEPS).
• Provides 24-hour unidirectional marking at runway and
taxiway intersections
• Installs in minutes and can be relocated just as quickly
• Includes LED lights, frangible column and tether
• Fixture flash-rate is controlled from an intelligent lighting
control system module located in the SEPS; alternating
flashes, 45-50 per minute
• Can be aimed both vertically and horizontally and has
an adjustable Light Beam: 0º to 20º vertically; ±20º
horizontally
• Significant reduction of maintenance costs and relamping
expenses through long-lasting LED technology
– average LED life of 56,000 hours under high-intensity
conditions and more than 100,000 hours under actual
operating conditions
• Engineered for reliable performance, the Energy
Management System (EMS) monitors and adapts
brightness to environmental conditions for consistent
operation and long life under tough conditions
• Autonomy (operation without solar charging) 7+ days –
scalable to meet requirements up to 40 days
• Battery life: 5+ years
SEPS Models
The ERGL is available in two SEPS models: Standard and
Wireless. With the standard SEPS, the unit will activate
automatically between dawn and dusk with pre-set
illumination. The wirelessly controlled SEPS allows the unit
to be activated remotely via a handheld controller.
Fixture Construction
The ERGL fixture is fabricated from corrosion-resistant materials
and all exterior surfaces are painted aviation yellow for added
protection and visibility. Includes high-strength ERGL base plate.
The two ERGL light sources are surrounded by a black face
plate and independent visors to reduce the amount of incident
sunlight, thereby maximizing the contrast during the LED ON/
OFF cycle.
Installation
ERGL systems are typically installed in pairs with one unit on
either side of the taxiway holding position.The ERGL should be
installed according to FAA AC 150/5340-30.The SEPS should be
installed on a level concrete pad within 20 feet of the ERGL. For
a temporary application, the wiring between the SEPS and the
ERGL can be above ground. Both the ERGL and SEPS contain
side conduits for cabling access.
