1.1.6 Material Handling Precautions: Fasteners
DANGER
Foreign Object Damage - FOD
This equipment may contain fasteners that may come loose - torque properly.
• Only use fasteners of the same type as the one originally supplied with the equipment.
• Use of incorrect combination of gaskets, bolts and nuts can create severe damages to the product
installation and create safety risk .
• You need to know what base the light fixture will be installed in, in order to chose the correct gasket,
bolts and nuts.
• Bolt type, length, and torque value are determined by type of base, height of spacers used, and clamp
force required in FAA Engineering Brief No 83 (latest revision).
• Due to the risk of bolts vibrating loose, do not use any type of washer with the fixing bolts (such as
split lock washers) other than an anti-vibration washer. Anti-vibration washers as defined in FAA EB
83 (latest edition) must be used. For installations other than FAA, use the base can manufacturer's
recommendations.
• Always tighten the fasteners to the recommended torque. Use a calibrated torque wrench and apply
the recommended adhesive type.
• Obey the instructions of the adhesives necessary for the fasteners.
Failure to follow these warnings may cause the fasteners to loosen, damage the equipment,
potentially to loosen the equipment. This can lead to a highly dangerous situation of FOD, with
potential lethal consequences.
Note
To minimize the risk of errors, the ADB SAFEGATE Sales Representative will have information on which gasket goes
with which base. This information is also provided in the product Data sheets, the User Manuals and the Spare Part
Lists.
CAUTION
Use of incorrect combination of gaskets, bolts and nuts can create severe damages to the product installation and
create multiple safety risks.
To obtain a safe and watertight installation the O-ring and retaining bolt stated in the document must be used.
You need to know what base the light fixture will be installed in, in order to choose the correct gasket, bolts and nuts.
Failure to follow these cautions can result in equipment damage or aircraft FOD.
1.1.7 Material Handling Precautions, ESD
CAUTION
Electrostatic Sensitive Devices
This equipment may contain electrostatic devices
• Protect from electrostatic discharge.
• Electronic modules and components should be touched only when this is unavoidable e.g. soldering,
replacement.
• Before touching any component of the cabinet you shall bring your body to the same potential as the
cabinet by touching a conductive earthed part of the cabinet.
• Electronic modules or components must not be brought in contact with highly insulating materials
such as plastic sheets, synthetic fiber clothing. They must be laid down on conductive surfaces.
• The tip of the soldering iron must be grounded.
• Electronic modules and components must be stored and transported in conductive packing.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in equipment damage

Features and Benefits
Efficiency
•EQ has an internal ILCMS remote for use with the LINC 360 system providing high data capacity and resisting
degradation from various types or radio effects to provide a superior communication platform
•Precision aimed optics enhancing photometric performance and complementing extended LED life
•Reduced bottom pan profile allowing for very shallow base can installation
•LEDs pulse width modulated (PWM) at 400 Hz optimizing LED performance and eliminating perceptible flicker to a
moving human observer throughout the range of brightness steps
•Operates at all steps of constant current regulator technologies designed in compliance with IEC or FAA requirements
•Fully dimmable lights, conforming to the dimming curve of traditional halogen lights
•Low protrusion, high-intensity, Style 3 (≤ 6.35 mm) inset light fixtures
•No negative slope in front of the prisms
Sustainability
•Fully encapsulated all-in-one universal power supplies for Runway, Taxiway, Approach and Omni inset families
•Latest generation LEDs providing a long-lasting light source with high efficiency and low power consumption
•Reinforced top cover substantially exceeding standards to improve durability and longevity
•One single family of fixtures covering all runway, taxiway and approach applications
•IP68 rated enclosure designed for harsh environments; all fastenings are stainless steel
•Reinforced prism available as an option
•Compatible with existing infrastructure allowing for direct replacement of existing LED inset fixtures
Safety
•Improved mechanical design to strengthen and consolidate components, improving the customer maintenance
experience
•Fail-open option for compatibility with legacy monitoring systems and optimization of advanced control/ monitoring
systems
•Failed-LED Detection as required by Engineering Brief 67D
•Robust lightning protection complying with ANSI/IEEE C62.41-1991; Location Category C2 as required by FAA Eng.
Brief 67. Category C2 is defined as a 1.2/50μS – 8/20 μS combination wave, with a peak voltage of 10,000 V and a
peak current of 5,000 A
Power Supply Options
