OBSRUCION LIGHING GUIDELINES

Any structure that exceeds 200rsquo above ground level generally needs to bemarked (lighted) according to FAAICAO Regulations Tere are manyfactors that can affect obstruction marking requirements such as weather

terrain proximity to airports etc Te information presented in thefollowing pages of this catalog is intended to provide basic guidance forstructure marking

Te FAA and ICAO guidelines presented herein describe minimumrequirements for various structure heights and descriptions of equipment tobe used Note that for Red Lighting Systems the tower must be painted inalternating levels of aviation orange and white to provide maximum daytime visibility (red lights are for nighttime only) In the case of white or duallighting systems the need for painting the tower is eliminated

Height is only one important consideration when choosing how a structure isto be marked Te products presented in this catalog support the obstructionlighting requirements set forth by the FAAFCC and ICAO In additionUnimar is a master distributor for each of the following product linesCooper Crouse-Hinds ABB Controls (Formerly Entrelec SSAC) Flashechnology and Dialight Corporation

For industrial applications professional assistance will be required for

example in the case of aviation lighting for industrial facilities or wind farmlighting applications Let your sales representative or our Technical Supportstaff help you determine which is the best lighting solution for your uniqueapplication

Guidelines for the use of Electrical Equipment in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Potentially explosive atmospheres exist where there is a risk of explosion due to mixtures of gasair vaporair dustair or other flammable combinations In such areas there is a necessity toeliminate sources of ignition such as sparks hot surfaces or static electricity which may ignite

these mixtures Where electrical equipment has to be used in these areas it must be so designedand constructed as not to create sources of ignition capable of igniting these mixtures Beforeelectrical equipment can be used in a potentially explosive atmosphere a representative samplehas to be fully tested and certified by an independent authority such as PB in Europe or UL inthe USA

Tis information is intended as a guide only and further expert guidance should be sought beforeplacing into service maintaining or repairing any item of equipment in a potentially explosiveatmosphere

Where comparisons are shown between for example European and North American practicethis may be an approximation and individual standardscodes of practice should be consulted forprecise details

Plants are divided into Zones (European and IEC method) or Divisions (North American method) according to the likelihood of apotentially explosive atmosphere being present

Note North American legislation now allows Zones to be used to classify areas where this practice is used it follows the NEC and CEC

European amp IEC Classification Definition of Zone or Division North American Classification

Zone 0 (gases)

Zone 20 (dusts)

An area in which an explosive mixture is continuously present or

present for long periods

Class I Division 1 (gases)

Class II Division 1 (dusts)

Zone 1 (gases)

Zone 21 (dusts)

An area in which an explosive mixture is likely to occur in

normal operation

Class I Division 1 (gases)

Class II Division 1 (dusts)

Zone 2 (gases)

Zone 22 (dusts)

An area in which an explosive mixture is not likely to occur in

normal operation and if it occurs it will exist only for a short time

Class I Division 2 (gases)

Class II Division 2 (dusts)

Class III Division 1 (fibers)

Class III Division 2 (fibers)

Tere are two main gas groups GroupI ndash Mining only and Group II ndash SurfaceIndustriesTese categories are used in European andIEC groupings

Group I is concerned only with underground

mining where methane and coal dust arepresent

Group II gases occurring in surface industriesare sub-grouped according to their volatilityTis enables electrical equipment to bedesigned to less onerous tolerances if it is to beused with the least volatile gases

Hot surfaces can ignite explosive atmospheres oguard against this all electrical equipment intendedfor use in a potentially explosive atmosphere isclassified according to the maximum surfacetemperature it will reach in service Tis temperatureis normally based on a surrounding ambient

temperature of 40˚ Centigrade (104˚ Fahrenheit)Tis temperature can then be compared to theignition temperature of the gas(es) which may comeinto contact with the equipment and a judgmentreached as to the suitability of the equipment to beused in that area

UNIMAR advises that all explosion-proof electrical equipment is maintained by suitably trained personnel in accordance with themanufacturersrsquo recommendations

Any spare parts used should be purchased from the original manufacturer and repairs should be carried out by the manufacturer orunder his supervision in order that the item remains in conformance with the certification documents

All electrical equipment intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere should be certified as suitable for such use

Te methods for obtaining certification differ in detail (see below) between each certifying body or group of bodies (eg CENELEC)Basically this process consists of supplying a representative sample of the equipment along with a set of drawings to a recognized testcertification body (eg PB) that in turn test the equipment against a recognized standard (eg EN60079-1) and issues a certificateTe user of the equipment can then refer to this certificate to enable him to safely put the item into service in a zone appropriate to thecertification

All equipment both electrical and mechanical intended to be put into service within the EU has to be certified in

accordance with the ATEX directive

Sample equipment and supporting documentation are submitted to the appropriate authority eg UL FM CSA

Te equipment is tested in accordance with relevant standards for explosion protection and also for general electrical requirements eglight fittings

After successful testing a list ing is issued a llowing the manufacturer to place the product on the marketTe product is marked with the certification details such as the gas groups A B C D and the area of use eg Class I Division 1

Most countries outside Europe or North America use the IEC standards as a basis for their own national standards

Te Russian Federation certifies equipment to GOS lsquoRrsquo standards these closely follow CENELEC practice

In Russia certain products used in fire alarm systems may be required to carry the Russian fire approval (VNIIPO) Note that notall Unimar products that have been certified to GOS lsquoRrsquo are VNIIPO approved Check specification on technical data sheets beforeordering

Kazakhstan has a certification process (GOS lsquoKrsquo) where approval is normally based on compliance with CENELEC standards

Certification is China is based on compliance with international standards such as CENELEC or UL or their own CQS standard

Tere is a scheme is place which will when fully adopted allow for internationally recognized certification to become a reality this is theIEC EX SCHEME Tis uses the IEC standards and IEC recognized test and certification bodies to issue mutually recognized test reportsand certificates Te scheme is in its infancy and its level of success cannot yet be measured

All Unimar Obstruction Lighting Controls require the presence of a neutral electrical

conductor

NOE Troughout this guide 230V refers to non-domestic locations using 220-240V

line-neutral or line-line with one leg grounded

Te transmission of alternating current (AC) is a sinusoidal wave train Te zero point

(neither positive nor negative) is the neutral Te system may be single phase 2-wire

single phase 3-wire or 3 phase 4-wire to have a neutral conductor present Te neutral

(N) is available in most systems by its connection to ground either at the power source orby transformer connections to ground

Te solid-state devices used in Obstruction Lighting Controllers require zero voltage

switching for the contacts Te contact closes only when the AC sine wave crosses zero or

very close to zero Tis concept also reduces inrush current and RFI and increases lamp

life

Te accompanying diagrams (facing page) show the various ways a neutral can be

provided for 480240V systems Te techniques are similar for 380220V systems Figure

1 and Figure 3 are extensively used in North America Te frequency is 60Hz In other

countries installations may be 50Hz or 60Hz Te secondary side of the circuit shownin Figure 3 is the most commonly used for power input to controllers With single phase

3-wire (L-N-L) load balancing can be achieved by dividing the load circuits Figure 2

illustrates a method for connecting a single phase 11 or 21 transformer and providing

a neutral Figure 4 shows another method for obtaining a single phase 3-wire (L-N-L)

system with a neutral by using two separate single phase transformers with matched

voltage windings Te ends of the primary and secondary windings are tied together

as shown with the resulting center-tapped winding of the secondary side becoming a

neutral Tis is referred to as a floating neutral Figure 5 is a common scheme used

outside of North America In this case it is difficult to find the zero point on the wave

train If one line of a 240V 2-wire supply is in fact grounded then it is 240V line to

neutral for use with the 230VAC controller

Regarding grounding Contollers incorporate a ground lug for equipment grounding

purposes particularly when fault current situations occur While it may be interpreted

that this ground is also the neutral avoid any interconnection of the neutral in the

power system and this equipment

As with all products where high voltages may be present take great care to be sure ALL

electrical power is removed before servicing any components in the system

In some areas where lightning is a common occurrence lightning arrestors andor

lightning rods should be considered to protect the obstruction lighting equipment

Care should be taken to prevent a buildup of moisture in conduit runs that could damage

the obstruction lighting equipment Vent and drain fittings should be installed in the

appropriate positions in the conduit runs Te photo-control should never be installed

in-line with the conduit run to the lights

When utilizing isolation transformers on Hot owers never attempt to flash the primaryof the transformer with a solid-state flasher

For assistance on flashing andor alarms for Hot Towers contact one of Unimars

application engineers at 1-800-739-9169 or 1-315-699-4400

FAA Advisory Circular 1505345-43F states that incandescent lamps must operate to

within 3 of the rated lamp voltage to provide proper light output

Correct lamp voltage is achieved by utilizing a combination of the correct wire size andthe correct supply voltage Whenever possible use the recommended wire size shown in

the wiring schematic diagram provided with your obstruction lighting controller

In some applications a boost transformer may be necessary

Following is the formula for calculating voltage drop to the lamp based on wire size

length of the wire and the current draw

Voltage Drop = 2K x L x l x 08666

OBSRUCION LIGHING GUIDELINES

Any structure that exceeds 200rsquo above ground level generally needs to bemarked (lighted) according to FAAICAO Regulations Tere are manyfactors that can affect obstruction marking requirements such as weather

terrain proximity to airports etc Te information presented in thefollowing pages of this catalog is intended to provide basic guidance forstructure marking

Te FAA and ICAO guidelines presented herein describe minimumrequirements for various structure heights and descriptions of equipment tobe used Note that for Red Lighting Systems the tower must be painted inalternating levels of aviation orange and white to provide maximum daytime visibility (red lights are for nighttime only) In the case of white or duallighting systems the need for painting the tower is eliminated

Height is only one important consideration when choosing how a structure isto be marked Te products presented in this catalog support the obstructionlighting requirements set forth by the FAAFCC and ICAO In additionUnimar is a master distributor for each of the following product linesCooper Crouse-Hinds ABB Controls (Formerly Entrelec SSAC) Flashechnology and Dialight Corporation

For industrial applications professional assistance will be required for

Guidelines for the use of Electrical Equipment in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Potentially explosive atmospheres exist where there is a risk of explosion due to mixtures of gasair vaporair dustair or other flammable combinations In such areas there is a necessity toeliminate sources of ignition such as sparks hot surfaces or static electricity which may ignite

these mixtures Where electrical equipment has to be used in these areas it must be so designedand constructed as not to create sources of ignition capable of igniting these mixtures Beforeelectrical equipment can be used in a potentially explosive atmosphere a representative samplehas to be fully tested and certified by an independent authority such as PB in Europe or UL inthe USA

Tis information is intended as a guide only and further expert guidance should be sought beforeplacing into service maintaining or repairing any item of equipment in a potentially explosiveatmosphere

Where comparisons are shown between for example European and North American practicethis may be an approximation and individual standardscodes of practice should be consulted forprecise details

Plants are divided into Zones (European and IEC method) or Divisions (North American method) according to the likelihood of apotentially explosive atmosphere being present

Note North American legislation now allows Zones to be used to classify areas where this practice is used it follows the NEC and CEC

European amp IEC Classification Definition of Zone or Division North American Classification

Zone 0 (gases)

Zone 20 (dusts)

An area in which an explosive mixture is continuously present or

present for long periods

Class I Division 1 (gases)

Class II Division 1 (dusts)

Zone 1 (gases)

Zone 21 (dusts)

An area in which an explosive mixture is likely to occur in

normal operation

Class I Division 1 (gases)

Class II Division 1 (dusts)

Zone 2 (gases)

Zone 22 (dusts)

An area in which an explosive mixture is not likely to occur in

normal operation and if it occurs it will exist only for a short time

Class I Division 2 (gases)

Class II Division 2 (dusts)

Class III Division 1 (fibers)

Class III Division 2 (fibers)

Tere are two main gas groups GroupI ndash Mining only and Group II ndash SurfaceIndustriesTese categories are used in European andIEC groupings

Group I is concerned only with underground

mining where methane and coal dust arepresent

Group II gases occurring in surface industriesare sub-grouped according to their volatilityTis enables electrical equipment to bedesigned to less onerous tolerances if it is to beused with the least volatile gases

Hot surfaces can ignite explosive atmospheres oguard against this all electrical equipment intendedfor use in a potentially explosive atmosphere isclassified according to the maximum surfacetemperature it will reach in service Tis temperatureis normally based on a surrounding ambient

temperature of 40˚ Centigrade (104˚ Fahrenheit)Tis temperature can then be compared to theignition temperature of the gas(es) which may comeinto contact with the equipment and a judgmentreached as to the suitability of the equipment to beused in that area

UNIMAR advises that all explosion-proof electrical equipment is maintained by suitably trained personnel in accordance with themanufacturersrsquo recommendations

Any spare parts used should be purchased from the original manufacturer and repairs should be carried out by the manufacturer orunder his supervision in order that the item remains in conformance with the certification documents

All electrical equipment intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere should be certified as suitable for such use

Te methods for obtaining certification differ in detail (see below) between each certifying body or group of bodies (eg CENELEC)Basically this process consists of supplying a representative sample of the equipment along with a set of drawings to a recognized testcertification body (eg PB) that in turn test the equipment against a recognized standard (eg EN60079-1) and issues a certificateTe user of the equipment can then refer to this certificate to enable him to safely put the item into service in a zone appropriate to thecertification

All equipment both electrical and mechanical intended to be put into service within the EU has to be certified in

accordance with the ATEX directive

Sample equipment and supporting documentation are submitted to the appropriate authority eg UL FM CSA

Te equipment is tested in accordance with relevant standards for explosion protection and also for general electrical requirements eglight fittings

After successful testing a list ing is issued a llowing the manufacturer to place the product on the marketTe product is marked with the certification details such as the gas groups A B C D and the area of use eg Class I Division 1

Most countries outside Europe or North America use the IEC standards as a basis for their own national standards

Te Russian Federation certifies equipment to GOS lsquoRrsquo standards these closely follow CENELEC practice

In Russia certain products used in fire alarm systems may be required to carry the Russian fire approval (VNIIPO) Note that notall Unimar products that have been certified to GOS lsquoRrsquo are VNIIPO approved Check specification on technical data sheets beforeordering

Kazakhstan has a certification process (GOS lsquoKrsquo) where approval is normally based on compliance with CENELEC standards

Certification is China is based on compliance with international standards such as CENELEC or UL or their own CQS standard

Tere is a scheme is place which will when fully adopted allow for internationally recognized certification to become a reality this is theIEC EX SCHEME Tis uses the IEC standards and IEC recognized test and certification bodies to issue mutually recognized test reportsand certificates Te scheme is in its infancy and its level of success cannot yet be measured

All Unimar Obstruction Lighting Controls require the presence of a neutral electrical

conductor

NOE Troughout this guide 230V refers to non-domestic locations using 220-240V

line-neutral or line-line with one leg grounded

Te transmission of alternating current (AC) is a sinusoidal wave train Te zero point

(neither positive nor negative) is the neutral Te system may be single phase 2-wire

single phase 3-wire or 3 phase 4-wire to have a neutral conductor present Te neutral

(N) is available in most systems by its connection to ground either at the power source orby transformer connections to ground

Te solid-state devices used in Obstruction Lighting Controllers require zero voltage

switching for the contacts Te contact closes only when the AC sine wave crosses zero or

very close to zero Tis concept also reduces inrush current and RFI and increases lamp

life

Te accompanying diagrams (facing page) show the various ways a neutral can be

provided for 480240V systems Te techniques are similar for 380220V systems Figure

1 and Figure 3 are extensively used in North America Te frequency is 60Hz In other

countries installations may be 50Hz or 60Hz Te secondary side of the circuit shownin Figure 3 is the most commonly used for power input to controllers With single phase

3-wire (L-N-L) load balancing can be achieved by dividing the load circuits Figure 2

illustrates a method for connecting a single phase 11 or 21 transformer and providing

a neutral Figure 4 shows another method for obtaining a single phase 3-wire (L-N-L)

system with a neutral by using two separate single phase transformers with matched

voltage windings Te ends of the primary and secondary windings are tied together

as shown with the resulting center-tapped winding of the secondary side becoming a

neutral Tis is referred to as a floating neutral Figure 5 is a common scheme used

outside of North America In this case it is difficult to find the zero point on the wave

train If one line of a 240V 2-wire supply is in fact grounded then it is 240V line to

neutral for use with the 230VAC controller

Regarding grounding Contollers incorporate a ground lug for equipment grounding

purposes particularly when fault current situations occur While it may be interpreted

that this ground is also the neutral avoid any interconnection of the neutral in the

power system and this equipment

As with all products where high voltages may be present take great care to be sure ALL

electrical power is removed before servicing any components in the system

In some areas where lightning is a common occurrence lightning arrestors andor

lightning rods should be considered to protect the obstruction lighting equipment

Care should be taken to prevent a buildup of moisture in conduit runs that could damage

the obstruction lighting equipment Vent and drain fittings should be installed in the

appropriate positions in the conduit runs Te photo-control should never be installed

in-line with the conduit run to the lights

When utilizing isolation transformers on Hot owers never attempt to flash the primaryof the transformer with a solid-state flasher

For assistance on flashing andor alarms for Hot Towers contact one of Unimars

application engineers at 1-800-739-9169 or 1-315-699-4400

FAA Advisory Circular 1505345-43F states that incandescent lamps must operate to

within 3 of the rated lamp voltage to provide proper light output

Correct lamp voltage is achieved by utilizing a combination of the correct wire size andthe correct supply voltage Whenever possible use the recommended wire size shown in

the wiring schematic diagram provided with your obstruction lighting controller

In some applications a boost transformer may be necessary

Following is the formula for calculating voltage drop to the lamp based on wire size

length of the wire and the current draw

Voltage Drop = 2K x L x l x 08666

Tis information is intended as a guide only and further expert guidance should be sought beforeplacing into service maintaining or repairing any item of equipment in a potentially explosiveatmosphere

Where comparisons are shown between for example European and North American practicethis may be an approximation and individual standardscodes of practice should be consulted forprecise details

Plants are divided into Zones (European and IEC method) or Divisions (North American method) according to the likelihood of apotentially explosive atmosphere being present

Note North American legislation now allows Zones to be used to classify areas where this practice is used it follows the NEC and CEC

UNIMAR advises that all explosion-proof electrical equipment is maintained by suitably trained personnel in accordance with themanufacturersrsquo recommendations

Any spare parts used should be purchased from the original manufacturer and repairs should be carried out by the manufacturer orunder his supervision in order that the item remains in conformance with the certification documents

All electrical equipment intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere should be certified as suitable for such use

Te methods for obtaining certification differ in detail (see below) between each certifying body or group of bodies (eg CENELEC)Basically this process consists of supplying a representative sample of the equipment along with a set of drawings to a recognized testcertification body (eg PB) that in turn test the equipment against a recognized standard (eg EN60079-1) and issues a certificateTe user of the equipment can then refer to this certificate to enable him to safely put the item into service in a zone appropriate to thecertification

All equipment both electrical and mechanical intended to be put into service within the EU has to be certified in

accordance with the ATEX directive

Sample equipment and supporting documentation are submitted to the appropriate authority eg UL FM CSA

Te equipment is tested in accordance with relevant standards for explosion protection and also for general electrical requirements eglight fittings

After successful testing a list ing is issued a llowing the manufacturer to place the product on the marketTe product is marked with the certification details such as the gas groups A B C D and the area of use eg Class I Division 1

All Unimar Obstruction Lighting Controls require the presence of a neutral electrical

conductor

NOE Troughout this guide 230V refers to non-domestic locations using 220-240V

line-neutral or line-line with one leg grounded

Te transmission of alternating current (AC) is a sinusoidal wave train Te zero point

(neither positive nor negative) is the neutral Te system may be single phase 2-wire

single phase 3-wire or 3 phase 4-wire to have a neutral conductor present Te neutral

(N) is available in most systems by its connection to ground either at the power source orby transformer connections to ground

Te solid-state devices used in Obstruction Lighting Controllers require zero voltage

switching for the contacts Te contact closes only when the AC sine wave crosses zero or

very close to zero Tis concept also reduces inrush current and RFI and increases lamp

life

Te accompanying diagrams (facing page) show the various ways a neutral can be

provided for 480240V systems Te techniques are similar for 380220V systems Figure

1 and Figure 3 are extensively used in North America Te frequency is 60Hz In other

countries installations may be 50Hz or 60Hz Te secondary side of the circuit shownin Figure 3 is the most commonly used for power input to controllers With single phase

3-wire (L-N-L) load balancing can be achieved by dividing the load circuits Figure 2

illustrates a method for connecting a single phase 11 or 21 transformer and providing

a neutral Figure 4 shows another method for obtaining a single phase 3-wire (L-N-L)

system with a neutral by using two separate single phase transformers with matched

voltage windings Te ends of the primary and secondary windings are tied together

as shown with the resulting center-tapped winding of the secondary side becoming a

neutral Tis is referred to as a floating neutral Figure 5 is a common scheme used

outside of North America In this case it is difficult to find the zero point on the wave

train If one line of a 240V 2-wire supply is in fact grounded then it is 240V line to

neutral for use with the 230VAC controller

Regarding grounding Contollers incorporate a ground lug for equipment grounding

purposes particularly when fault current situations occur While it may be interpreted

that this ground is also the neutral avoid any interconnection of the neutral in the

power system and this equipment

As with all products where high voltages may be present take great care to be sure ALL

electrical power is removed before servicing any components in the system

In some areas where lightning is a common occurrence lightning arrestors andor

lightning rods should be considered to protect the obstruction lighting equipment

Care should be taken to prevent a buildup of moisture in conduit runs that could damage

the obstruction lighting equipment Vent and drain fittings should be installed in the

appropriate positions in the conduit runs Te photo-control should never be installed

in-line with the conduit run to the lights

When utilizing isolation transformers on Hot owers never attempt to flash the primaryof the transformer with a solid-state flasher

For assistance on flashing andor alarms for Hot Towers contact one of Unimars

application engineers at 1-800-739-9169 or 1-315-699-4400

FAA Advisory Circular 1505345-43F states that incandescent lamps must operate to

within 3 of the rated lamp voltage to provide proper light output

Correct lamp voltage is achieved by utilizing a combination of the correct wire size andthe correct supply voltage Whenever possible use the recommended wire size shown in

the wiring schematic diagram provided with your obstruction lighting controller

In some applications a boost transformer may be necessary

Following is the formula for calculating voltage drop to the lamp based on wire size

length of the wire and the current draw

Voltage Drop = 2K x L x l x 08666

All Unimar Obstruction Lighting Controls require the presence of a neutral electrical

conductor

NOE Troughout this guide 230V refers to non-domestic locations using 220-240V

line-neutral or line-line with one leg grounded

Te transmission of alternating current (AC) is a sinusoidal wave train Te zero point

(neither positive nor negative) is the neutral Te system may be single phase 2-wire

single phase 3-wire or 3 phase 4-wire to have a neutral conductor present Te neutral

(N) is available in most systems by its connection to ground either at the power source orby transformer connections to ground

Te solid-state devices used in Obstruction Lighting Controllers require zero voltage

switching for the contacts Te contact closes only when the AC sine wave crosses zero or

very close to zero Tis concept also reduces inrush current and RFI and increases lamp

life

Te accompanying diagrams (facing page) show the various ways a neutral can be

provided for 480240V systems Te techniques are similar for 380220V systems Figure

1 and Figure 3 are extensively used in North America Te frequency is 60Hz In other

countries installations may be 50Hz or 60Hz Te secondary side of the circuit shownin Figure 3 is the most commonly used for power input to controllers With single phase

3-wire (L-N-L) load balancing can be achieved by dividing the load circuits Figure 2

illustrates a method for connecting a single phase 11 or 21 transformer and providing

a neutral Figure 4 shows another method for obtaining a single phase 3-wire (L-N-L)

system with a neutral by using two separate single phase transformers with matched

voltage windings Te ends of the primary and secondary windings are tied together

as shown with the resulting center-tapped winding of the secondary side becoming a

neutral Tis is referred to as a floating neutral Figure 5 is a common scheme used

outside of North America In this case it is difficult to find the zero point on the wave

train If one line of a 240V 2-wire supply is in fact grounded then it is 240V line to

neutral for use with the 230VAC controller

Regarding grounding Contollers incorporate a ground lug for equipment grounding

purposes particularly when fault current situations occur While it may be interpreted

that this ground is also the neutral avoid any interconnection of the neutral in the

power system and this equipment

As with all products where high voltages may be present take great care to be sure ALL

electrical power is removed before servicing any components in the system

In some areas where lightning is a common occurrence lightning arrestors andor

lightning rods should be considered to protect the obstruction lighting equipment

Care should be taken to prevent a buildup of moisture in conduit runs that could damage

the obstruction lighting equipment Vent and drain fittings should be installed in the

appropriate positions in the conduit runs Te photo-control should never be installed

in-line with the conduit run to the lights

When utilizing isolation transformers on Hot owers never attempt to flash the primaryof the transformer with a solid-state flasher

For assistance on flashing andor alarms for Hot Towers contact one of Unimars

application engineers at 1-800-739-9169 or 1-315-699-4400

FAA Advisory Circular 1505345-43F states that incandescent lamps must operate to

within 3 of the rated lamp voltage to provide proper light output

Correct lamp voltage is achieved by utilizing a combination of the correct wire size andthe correct supply voltage Whenever possible use the recommended wire size shown in

the wiring schematic diagram provided with your obstruction lighting controller

In some applications a boost transformer may be necessary

Following is the formula for calculating voltage drop to the lamp based on wire size

length of the wire and the current draw

Voltage Drop = 2K x L x l x 08666

All Unimar Obstruction Lighting Controls require the presence of a neutral electrical

conductor

NOE Troughout this guide 230V refers to non-domestic locations using 220-240V

line-neutral or line-line with one leg grounded

Te transmission of alternating current (AC) is a sinusoidal wave train Te zero point

(neither positive nor negative) is the neutral Te system may be single phase 2-wire

single phase 3-wire or 3 phase 4-wire to have a neutral conductor present Te neutral

(N) is available in most systems by its connection to ground either at the power source orby transformer connections to ground

Te solid-state devices used in Obstruction Lighting Controllers require zero voltage

switching for the contacts Te contact closes only when the AC sine wave crosses zero or

very close to zero Tis concept also reduces inrush current and RFI and increases lamp

life

Te accompanying diagrams (facing page) show the various ways a neutral can be

provided for 480240V systems Te techniques are similar for 380220V systems Figure

1 and Figure 3 are extensively used in North America Te frequency is 60Hz In other

countries installations may be 50Hz or 60Hz Te secondary side of the circuit shownin Figure 3 is the most commonly used for power input to controllers With single phase

3-wire (L-N-L) load balancing can be achieved by dividing the load circuits Figure 2

illustrates a method for connecting a single phase 11 or 21 transformer and providing

a neutral Figure 4 shows another method for obtaining a single phase 3-wire (L-N-L)

system with a neutral by using two separate single phase transformers with matched

voltage windings Te ends of the primary and secondary windings are tied together

as shown with the resulting center-tapped winding of the secondary side becoming a

neutral Tis is referred to as a floating neutral Figure 5 is a common scheme used

outside of North America In this case it is difficult to find the zero point on the wave

train If one line of a 240V 2-wire supply is in fact grounded then it is 240V line to

neutral for use with the 230VAC controller

Regarding grounding Contollers incorporate a ground lug for equipment grounding

purposes particularly when fault current situations occur While it may be interpreted

that this ground is also the neutral avoid any interconnection of the neutral in the

power system and this equipment

As with all products where high voltages may be present take great care to be sure ALL

electrical power is removed before servicing any components in the system

In some areas where lightning is a common occurrence lightning arrestors andor

lightning rods should be considered to protect the obstruction lighting equipment

Care should be taken to prevent a buildup of moisture in conduit runs that could damage

the obstruction lighting equipment Vent and drain fittings should be installed in the

appropriate positions in the conduit runs Te photo-control should never be installed

in-line with the conduit run to the lights

When utilizing isolation transformers on Hot owers never attempt to flash the primaryof the transformer with a solid-state flasher

For assistance on flashing andor alarms for Hot Towers contact one of Unimars

application engineers at 1-800-739-9169 or 1-315-699-4400

FAA Advisory Circular 1505345-43F states that incandescent lamps must operate to

within 3 of the rated lamp voltage to provide proper light output

Correct lamp voltage is achieved by utilizing a combination of the correct wire size andthe correct supply voltage Whenever possible use the recommended wire size shown in

the wiring schematic diagram provided with your obstruction lighting controller

In some applications a boost transformer may be necessary

Following is the formula for calculating voltage drop to the lamp based on wire size

length of the wire and the current draw

Voltage Drop = 2K x L x l x 08666

CM

NOE K = 12 for copper or 18 for aluminum L = length in feet from the source to the load

Te Russian Federation certifies equipment to GOS lsquoRrsquo standards these closely follow CENELEC practice

In Russia certain products used in fire alarm systems may be required to carry the Russian fire approval (VNIIPO) Note that notall Unimar products that have been certified to GOS lsquoRrsquo are VNIIPO approved Check specification on technical data sheets beforeordering

Kazakhstan has a certification process (GOS lsquoKrsquo) where approval is normally based on compliance with CENELEC standards

Certification is China is based on compliance with international standards such as CENELEC or UL or their own CQS standard

All Unimar Obstruction Lighting Controls require the presence of a neutral electrical

conductor

NOE Troughout this guide 230V refers to non-domestic locations using 220-240V

line-neutral or line-line with one leg grounded

Te transmission of alternating current (AC) is a sinusoidal wave train Te zero point

(neither positive nor negative) is the neutral Te system may be single phase 2-wire

single phase 3-wire or 3 phase 4-wire to have a neutral conductor present Te neutral

(N) is available in most systems by its connection to ground either at the power source orby transformer connections to ground

Te solid-state devices used in Obstruction Lighting Controllers require zero voltage

switching for the contacts Te contact closes only when the AC sine wave crosses zero or

very close to zero Tis concept also reduces inrush current and RFI and increases lamp

life

Te accompanying diagrams (facing page) show the various ways a neutral can be

provided for 480240V systems Te techniques are similar for 380220V systems Figure

1 and Figure 3 are extensively used in North America Te frequency is 60Hz In other

countries installations may be 50Hz or 60Hz Te secondary side of the circuit shownin Figure 3 is the most commonly used for power input to controllers With single phase

3-wire (L-N-L) load balancing can be achieved by dividing the load circuits Figure 2

illustrates a method for connecting a single phase 11 or 21 transformer and providing

a neutral Figure 4 shows another method for obtaining a single phase 3-wire (L-N-L)

system with a neutral by using two separate single phase transformers with matched

voltage windings Te ends of the primary and secondary windings are tied together

as shown with the resulting center-tapped winding of the secondary side becoming a

neutral Tis is referred to as a floating neutral Figure 5 is a common scheme used

outside of North America In this case it is difficult to find the zero point on the wave

train If one line of a 240V 2-wire supply is in fact grounded then it is 240V line to

neutral for use with the 230VAC controller

Regarding grounding Contollers incorporate a ground lug for equipment grounding

purposes particularly when fault current situations occur While it may be interpreted

that this ground is also the neutral avoid any interconnection of the neutral in the

power system and this equipment

As with all products where high voltages may be present take great care to be sure ALL

electrical power is removed before servicing any components in the system

All Unimar Obstruction Lighting Controls require the presence of a neutral electrical

conductor

NOE Troughout this guide 230V refers to non-domestic locations using 220-240V

line-neutral or line-line with one leg grounded

Te transmission of alternating current (AC) is a sinusoidal wave train Te zero point

(neither positive nor negative) is the neutral Te system may be single phase 2-wire

single phase 3-wire or 3 phase 4-wire to have a neutral conductor present Te neutral

(N) is available in most systems by its connection to ground either at the power source orby transformer connections to ground

Te solid-state devices used in Obstruction Lighting Controllers require zero voltage

switching for the contacts Te contact closes only when the AC sine wave crosses zero or

very close to zero Tis concept also reduces inrush current and RFI and increases lamp

life

Te accompanying diagrams (facing page) show the various ways a neutral can be

provided for 480240V systems Te techniques are similar for 380220V systems Figure

1 and Figure 3 are extensively used in North America Te frequency is 60Hz In other

countries installations may be 50Hz or 60Hz Te secondary side of the circuit shownin Figure 3 is the most commonly used for power input to controllers With single phase

3-wire (L-N-L) load balancing can be achieved by dividing the load circuits Figure 2

illustrates a method for connecting a single phase 11 or 21 transformer and providing

a neutral Figure 4 shows another method for obtaining a single phase 3-wire (L-N-L)

system with a neutral by using two separate single phase transformers with matched

voltage windings Te ends of the primary and secondary windings are tied together

as shown with the resulting center-tapped winding of the secondary side becoming a

neutral Tis is referred to as a floating neutral Figure 5 is a common scheme used

outside of North America In this case it is difficult to find the zero point on the wave

train If one line of a 240V 2-wire supply is in fact grounded then it is 240V line to

neutral for use with the 230VAC controller

Regarding grounding Contollers incorporate a ground lug for equipment grounding

purposes particularly when fault current situations occur While it may be interpreted

that this ground is also the neutral avoid any interconnection of the neutral in the

power system and this equipment

As with all products where high voltages may be present take great care to be sure ALL

electrical power is removed before servicing any components in the system

In some areas where lightning is a common occurrence lightning arrestors andor

lightning rods should be considered to protect the obstruction lighting equipment

Care should be taken to prevent a buildup of moisture in conduit runs that could damage

the obstruction lighting equipment Vent and drain fittings should be installed in the

appropriate positions in the conduit runs Te photo-control should never be installed

When utilizing isolation transformers on Hot owers never attempt to flash the primaryof the transformer with a solid-state flasher

For assistance on flashing andor alarms for Hot Towers contact one of Unimars

application engineers at 1-800-739-9169 or 1-315-699-4400

FAA Advisory Circular 1505345-43F states that incandescent lamps must operate to

within 3 of the rated lamp voltage to provide proper light output

Correct lamp voltage is achieved by utilizing a combination of the correct wire size andthe correct supply voltage Whenever possible use the recommended wire size shown in

the wiring schematic diagram provided with your obstruction lighting controller

In some applications a boost transformer may be necessary

Following is the formula for calculating voltage drop to the lamp based on wire size

All Unimar Obstruction Lighting Controls require the presence of a neutral electrical

conductor

NOE Troughout this guide 230V refers to non-domestic locations using 220-240V

line-neutral or line-line with one leg grounded

Te transmission of alternating current (AC) is a sinusoidal wave train Te zero point

(neither positive nor negative) is the neutral Te system may be single phase 2-wire

single phase 3-wire or 3 phase 4-wire to have a neutral conductor present Te neutral

(N) is available in most systems by its connection to ground either at the power source orby transformer connections to ground

Te solid-state devices used in Obstruction Lighting Controllers require zero voltage

switching for the contacts Te contact closes only when the AC sine wave crosses zero or

very close to zero Tis concept also reduces inrush current and RFI and increases lamp

life

Te accompanying diagrams (facing page) show the various ways a neutral can be

provided for 480240V systems Te techniques are similar for 380220V systems Figure

1 and Figure 3 are extensively used in North America Te frequency is 60Hz In other

countries installations may be 50Hz or 60Hz Te secondary side of the circuit shownin Figure 3 is the most commonly used for power input to controllers With single phase

3-wire (L-N-L) load balancing can be achieved by dividing the load circuits Figure 2

illustrates a method for connecting a single phase 11 or 21 transformer and providing

a neutral Figure 4 shows another method for obtaining a single phase 3-wire (L-N-L)

system with a neutral by using two separate single phase transformers with matched

voltage windings Te ends of the primary and secondary windings are tied together

as shown with the resulting center-tapped winding of the secondary side becoming a

neutral Tis is referred to as a floating neutral Figure 5 is a common scheme used

outside of North America In this case it is difficult to find the zero point on the wave

train If one line of a 240V 2-wire supply is in fact grounded then it is 240V line to

neutral for use with the 230VAC controller

Regarding grounding Contollers incorporate a ground lug for equipment grounding

purposes particularly when fault current situations occur While it may be interpreted

that this ground is also the neutral avoid any interconnection of the neutral in the

power system and this equipment

As with all products where high voltages may be present take great care to be sure ALL

electrical power is removed before servicing any components in the system

In some areas where lightning is a common occurrence lightning arrestors andor

lightning rods should be considered to protect the obstruction lighting equipment

Care should be taken to prevent a buildup of moisture in conduit runs that could damage

the obstruction lighting equipment Vent and drain fittings should be installed in the

appropriate positions in the conduit runs Te photo-control should never be installed

in-line with the conduit run to the lights

When utilizing isolation transformers on Hot owers never attempt to flash the primaryof the transformer with a solid-state flasher

For assistance on flashing andor alarms for Hot Towers contact one of Unimars

application engineers at 1-800-739-9169 or 1-315-699-4400

FAA Advisory Circular 1505345-43F states that incandescent lamps must operate to

within 3 of the rated lamp voltage to provide proper light output

Correct lamp voltage is achieved by utilizing a combination of the correct wire size andthe correct supply voltage Whenever possible use the recommended wire size shown in

the wiring schematic diagram provided with your obstruction lighting controller

In some applications a boost transformer may be necessary

Following is the formula for calculating voltage drop to the lamp based on wire size

length of the wire and the current draw

Voltage Drop = 2K x L x l x 08666

All Unimar Obstruction Lighting Controls require the presence of a neutral electrical

conductor

NOE Troughout this guide 230V refers to non-domestic locations using 220-240V

line-neutral or line-line with one leg grounded

Te transmission of alternating current (AC) is a sinusoidal wave train Te zero point

(neither positive nor negative) is the neutral Te system may be single phase 2-wire

single phase 3-wire or 3 phase 4-wire to have a neutral conductor present Te neutral

(N) is available in most systems by its connection to ground either at the power source orby transformer connections to ground

Te solid-state devices used in Obstruction Lighting Controllers require zero voltage

switching for the contacts Te contact closes only when the AC sine wave crosses zero or

very close to zero Tis concept also reduces inrush current and RFI and increases lamp

life

Te accompanying diagrams (facing page) show the various ways a neutral can be

provided for 480240V systems Te techniques are similar for 380220V systems Figure

1 and Figure 3 are extensively used in North America Te frequency is 60Hz In other

countries installations may be 50Hz or 60Hz Te secondary side of the circuit shownin Figure 3 is the most commonly used for power input to controllers With single phase

3-wire (L-N-L) load balancing can be achieved by dividing the load circuits Figure 2

illustrates a method for connecting a single phase 11 or 21 transformer and providing

a neutral Figure 4 shows another method for obtaining a single phase 3-wire (L-N-L)

system with a neutral by using two separate single phase transformers with matched

voltage windings Te ends of the primary and secondary windings are tied together

as shown with the resulting center-tapped winding of the secondary side becoming a

neutral Tis is referred to as a floating neutral Figure 5 is a common scheme used

outside of North America In this case it is difficult to find the zero point on the wave

train If one line of a 240V 2-wire supply is in fact grounded then it is 240V line to

neutral for use with the 230VAC controller

Regarding grounding Contollers incorporate a ground lug for equipment grounding

purposes particularly when fault current situations occur While it may be interpreted

that this ground is also the neutral avoid any interconnection of the neutral in the

power system and this equipment

As with all products where high voltages may be present take great care to be sure ALL

electrical power is removed before servicing any components in the system

In some areas where lightning is a common occurrence lightning arrestors andor

lightning rods should be considered to protect the obstruction lighting equipment

Care should be taken to prevent a buildup of moisture in conduit runs that could damage

the obstruction lighting equipment Vent and drain fittings should be installed in the

appropriate positions in the conduit runs Te photo-control should never be installed

in-line with the conduit run to the lights

When utilizing isolation transformers on Hot owers never attempt to flash the primaryof the transformer with a solid-state flasher

For assistance on flashing andor alarms for Hot Towers contact one of Unimars

application engineers at 1-800-739-9169 or 1-315-699-4400

FAA Advisory Circular 1505345-43F states that incandescent lamps must operate to

within 3 of the rated lamp voltage to provide proper light output

Correct lamp voltage is achieved by utilizing a combination of the correct wire size andthe correct supply voltage Whenever possible use the recommended wire size shown in

the wiring schematic diagram provided with your obstruction lighting controller

In some applications a boost transformer may be necessary

Following is the formula for calculating voltage drop to the lamp based on wire size

length of the wire and the current draw

Voltage Drop = 2K x L x l x 08666

CM

NOE K = 12 for copper or 18 for aluminum L = length in feet from the source to the load
