Runway Threshold Identification Light (RTIL)
The Elecvis Runway Threshold Identification Light (RTIL) has been designed to meet the requirements of MOS139, ICAO and FAA and can configured to operate as
either: Standalone automatic, remote control or constant current circuit dependant control.
This RTIL uses high intensity LEDs to produce a uni-directional flashing light that can be controlled in flash rate and intensity. It can be operated at 1 fixed intensity or 3 intensity levels. This equipment has the advantage of operating at low voltage with inherent safety for technical staff. It also has very low current draw on the mains supply that will not interfere with other sensitive airport systems.
The control features are programmed via the user interface switches and display.
The control board is universal and can be selected for master and slave operation.
Additional information
Operational Controls
The operational controls are located inside each enclosure and provide isolation and operational programming.
Power control
The main power is isolated by a circuit breaker located inside the enclosure of each light unit. Each box has surge protection on the power input
Human Machine Interface
All programmable adjustments and operational selections of the RTIL are done using the 2-line display on electronics card in each light unit. This screen will display each selection plus card and light head operating temperatures and any fault information.
Selections are made via the 4 push button switches in a diamond layout below the display. These switched allow navigation through the menu by the left and right buttons and option selection with the up down buttons. When a selection is made, moving to the next screen (left or right) will program the last displayed option to memory.
External Connections
All connections to the RTIL are made on the internal panel.
These are from the left.
1. Mains surge diverter.
2. Mains circuit breaker.
3. Power earth connection.
4. Mains terminals to allow mains cabling in and looped out to the next light.
5. Remote control connection from AGL control system.
6. RS485 interconnection between lights.
Wireless Interconnection
Where a control cable is not available for communication between the lights.
Required for monitoring, control, and synchronisation of the flashing. A radio link can
be used via the on-board transceiver. This option may be needed in the case of a
temporary displaced threshold application. The radio link can be selected in the
setup menu.
