1.1.3 Material Handling Precautions: Storage
CAUTION
Improper Storage
Store this equipment properly
• If equipment is to be stored prior to installation, it must be protected from the weather and kept free
of condensation and dust.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in equipment damage
1.1.4 Material Handling: Heavy Equipment
DANGER
Unstable load
Use caution when moving heavy equipment
• Use extreme care when moving heavy equipment.
• Verify that the moving equipment is rated to handle the weight.
• When removing equipment from a shipping pallet, carefully balance and secure it using a safety
strap.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage
1.1.5 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.

2.0 Introduction
Warning
Read the instructions in their entirety before starting installation.
This section provides an introduction to the ADB Safegate FAA Type L-849V (voltage) and I (current), Style A and E, REIL with
LED optical flash heads. (See Figure 1 .) The ADB Safegate FAA Type L-849V (voltage) and I (current), Style A and E, REIL with
LED optical flash heads consists of two unidirectional light units, one located on each side of the runway. Each REIL assembly
utilizes an integrated head and power supply. The Primary REIL assembly controls operation of the Secondary REIL assembly.
Remote control signals are connected only to the Primary assembly. These light units flash twice a second to provide a visual
indication to pilots of the runway threshold during an approach for landing.

L-849I •Powered by a constant current regulator
Style A •High-Intensity/Single-Step
Style C •Low-Intensity/Single-Step
Style E •High-, Medium-, and Low-Intensity/Three-Step
The L-849(L) Style C is recommended when there are lower levels of background illumination in the surrounding area.

Features
•Long LED life
•Improved safety – Very low voltage internal to LED REIL vs. 2000 VDC in traditional xenon flash lamp units
•Elimination of expensive xenon flash lamp replacement
•The LED REIL can be driven directly from series circuit via an isolation transformer, no power adapter is required.
•Elimination of ozone, generated by xenon flash lamps, an oxidant that degrades internal component life
•Includes external alarm indication in case of system fault. System fault indication for:
•Loss of input power
•LED failures (open or shorted)
•For current sensing applications, the L-849I REIL does not need a separate current sensing isolation transformer
•Due to robust primary to secondary flasher unit trigger signal design, a shielded trigger signal cable is not required
•Easier to install due to reduced size and weight
•Easier to service due to much simpler design
•NEMA 4 rated enclosure
•Field tested
Note
Style A/E/C REIL all built with the same components. Configuration on the control board to change style.
Operating Conditions
Temperature: -40 °F to +131 °F (-40 °C to +55 °C)
Humidity: 0 to 100% (including conditions where condensation takes place in the form of water or frost)
Altitude: 0 to 10,000 ft (3,000 m)
Wind: Velocities up to 150 knots
Exposure: Withstands windblown rain, sand, dust particles,and a salt-laden atmosphere
Optional Features
•The L-849 using a single leg enclosure is normally installed onto a threaded coupling which is attached to the end of a
conduit elbow. Alternatively, a 6.25-inch (15.88 cm) O.D. floor flange can be bolted over any conduit elbow flush with the
top of the pad. Use Part No. 62B0107-3.
•Baffle: If 15° beam axis is operationally objectionable on the L-849 REIL, an optional baffle kit is available. If used, REILs are
set at +3° vertical and +10° horizontal. Kit Number: Style A/E, C: 94A0198-LED.
