benchtop Constant Current Regulator

September 24, 2020

Maintenance professionals will find this handy CCR a long-awaited addition to the shop for testing airfield lighting equipment. Relatively light weight at 74lbs, the 828HC is an easy to use testing tool able to handle 3-step, 5-step or a combined 7-step circuit simulation. Power up into any 120V, 15A or 20A outlet and you are ready to start testing. With up to a 500W range, the 828HC allows for some of the largest equipment to be connected using the factory installed L823 Type 1 primary connectors for use with standard L830 isolation transformers. The 828HC offers a fully digital readout with onboard software that provides an extensive range of necessary readings. With safety in mind at all times, a safety interlock disconnects output power when the cabinet door is opened and features oil and grease resistant rubber feet to prevent shifting on the bench surface. The 828HC is ready for “plug and play” operation. Every airfield maintenance shop should have an 828HC.

Our new benchtop (828HC), mobile Ferroresonant Constant Current Regulator (CCR) is designed to offer maximum convenience, safety and versatility for field maintenance operations when airfield lights and flashing equipment such as strobes and guard lights are needed to be tested to meet FAA ETL performance criteria.

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. With the rise of LED lighting and integrated control systems, the sky has proven to be the limit when it comes to technology that manages inbound and outbound air traffic.

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.
