ALC Powers the Lanyi, Taiwan Airport.

July 26, 2020

The Lanyu Airport continues to upgrade and recently chose ALC high efficiency, .99 percent power factor Ferroresonant constant current regulators (CCR) to re-power their vault. Through the efforts of our distributor in Taiwan, twenty (20) ALC CCR’s were purchased and will be installed as part of the airport’s modernization program. These CCR’s provide the required airfield power upgrade and lay the foundation for improved reliability and control of all series circuits. These CCR’s will also easily integrate with future upgrades of the airfield lighting computer control system and the conversion to LED lighting. This order is an example of ALC’s expanding global sales to meet the demands of airports worldwide for airfield lighting, power systems, signage and navigational aids.

The Importance Of Reliable Power And Control Systems In Airport Lighting

Airport facility managers understand the critical role of reliable power and control systems in ensuring safe, efficient aircraft and runway operations. Issues such as power surges and voltage fluctuations can pose serious safety hazards without the right power and control systems in place to provide continuous energy supply.

How Smart Lighting Systems Help Optimize Airport Operations

Airport lighting technology has come a long way since early 20th-century innovators placed incandescent lights along runways to help guide pilots during takeoff and landing.

Troubleshooting The L-854 Radio Decoder In Airport Lighting Control And Monitoring Systems

Many Airport Lighting Control And Monitoring Systems (ALCMS) contain an L-854 radio decoder to enable pilot control during landing. It is essential to regularly maintain and troubleshoot this equipment so pilots can activate the airfield lighting system via their air-to-ground radio. This month, we thought we’d provide an L-854 unit maintenance checklist to help your ALCMS operate smoothly and reliably on an ongoing basis, ensuring safe and efficient airport and runway operations.
