Vanguard® Medium FTS 370d LED Tower Lighting System

Dual L-864 / L-865 Obstruction Lighting System

The Vanguard Medium FTS 370d is a dual FAA L-864/L-865 medium intensity LED lighting system for structures between 200’ and 700’ AGL (FAA E-type towers). The system also meets FAA L-885 low intensity catenary requirements. It complies with CAR 621 2nd edition for medium intensity CL-864/CL-865 flashing lights and ICAO 6th edition standards for medium intensity type A/type B obstacle lights.

 

The FAA LED lighting system uses a single cable for communications as well as beacon and marker power. Firmware can be upgraded for future compatibility with no need for controller modification. The single enclosure houses a low-voltage environment, removing the need for an interlock switch and allowing alarms to remain active when the door is open.

 

FTS 370d Vanguard Medium Features

  • Infrared (IR) lighting – NVG and NVIS compatibility using 850nm IR LEDs on the flashhead per FAA AC 150/5345-43J
  • Interleaved LEDs and by-pass circuitry provide longer life by allowing the loss of individual LEDs up to the 25% limit
  • Surge immunity of 25kA to withstand 99% of all lighting strikes
  • Ruggedized photodiode in metal housing with shielded cable
  • Input power breaker switch eliminates replaceable fuses
  • Patented Fresnel optics to minimize ground scatter
  • Aircraft Detection Lighting Systems (ADLS) interface
  • Automatic failsafe switches to day mode if no mode change detected
  • 4-line OLED backlit display for visibility in any lighting conditions
  • Dry contact monitoring (day, night, marker, PED, GPS, comm alarms and mode status)
  • Configurable to meet AC 70/7460-1L
  • 5-year warranty
