PC-1000 Aircraft Obstruction Light Monitor
Ensure your obstruction lighting always meets CASA requirements with the PC-1000 – a compact, reliable monitoring unit that keeps your beacon and marker lights under constant supervision.
Key Features
- Continuous Self‑Monitoring: Watches the health of both beacon and marker lights and instantly flags any failures.
- 4 Relay Fault Outputs: Individually identify and signal up to four distinct fault conditions (e.g., beacon failure, marker failure, power loss, PE cell failure).
- Remote Status via 4G: Integrate an external 4G modem to stream real‑time health data back to FARLIGHT’S monitoring centre.
- Wide DC Input Range: Operates from 24 V DC to 48 V DC, easily integrating with standard site power supplies.
- Separate Light Circuits: Independent outputs and monitoring for beacon lights (red flashing) and marker lights (red steady), so you always know which circuit needs attention.
Benefits
- Regulatory Compliance: Meets Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) directives for obstruction light monitoring, helping you avoid fines and safety audits.
- Reduced Downtime: Early warning of lamp or circuit failure lets you schedule maintenance proactively—no more surprise outages.
- Simple Integration: 4 relay outputs can tie directly into your existing alarm panels or SCADA system; 4G connectivity avoids complex wiring.
- Cost‑Effective: Avoid costly site visits with remote diagnostics; an economical solution for single towers or large buildings.
