2.2 AGLAS Remote Introduction
2.2.1 General
The AGLAS Remotes are intelligent powerline addressable field devices that operate on the secondary side of airfield isolation
transformers. They serve as slave nodes in a master/slave network that is controlled by a AGLAS Master. The AGLAS Remote is
available in the following four versions:
— AGLAS Remote single channel
for controlling one light (airfield ground lighting)
— AGLAS Remote dual channel
for controlling two lights (airfield ground lighting)
— AGLAS Remote RGL single channel
for network-synchronized blinking after switching on, without master synchronization (Runway Guard Light)
— AGLAS Remote RGL dual channel
for continuous, network-synchronized, alternating blinking of both channels after switching on, without master
synchronization (Runway Guard Light)
In terms of construction, they differ in the number of channels which in turn determines the number of lights that can be
switched.
RGL Remotes leave the factory with a special configuration that ensures synchronous start-up after power-up of the regulator and
network-synchronized blinking without master synchronization. The factory setting also includes the choice whether the blinking
is to start with “initial flash On” or “Off”. This option makes it possible to have different groups of Remotes flash alternately,
leveling the load on the constant current regulator caused by synchronous switching of all groups of Remotes.
In the following sections all four devices will be referred to as AGLAS Remotes.

2.2.3 Checking the Device
2.2.3.1 Scope of Supply
The AGLAS-C Remote single channel is supplied with two 12-inch (30 cm) cord-set cables for connection to the series transformer
and the light.
The AGLAS-C Remote dual channel is supplied with three 12-inch (30 cm) cord-set cables, 1 for connection to the series
transformer and 2 for connection to the lights.
The AGLAS-C Remote single channel RGL is supplied with two 12-inch (30 cm) cord-set cables for connection to the series
transformer and the light, adjusted at the factory for configured start-up after switching on (consistent adjustment for all RGL
Remotes in a project).
The AGLAS-C Remote dual channel RGL is supplied with three 12-inch (30 cm) cord-set cables, 1 for connection to the series
transformer and 2 for connection to the lights; adjusted at the factory for configured start-up after switching on.
See “Parts” on page 23” for the complete list of remote variants.
2.2.3.2 Unpacking
The device has been fully assembled, tested and packed at the factory and has no internal transport locks.
2.2.3.3 Inspection
The delivery must be checked to make sure that it is complete and in perfect condition. The supplier must be notified of any
complaints within 2 weeks. After this period, complaints about the delivery will not be accepted. In the event of the goods being
returned, the same transport packaging must be used. See Figure 2.
The number on the nameplate must be checked against the order number on the delivery note.
The nameplate is located on the side of the device (example: AGLAS-C Remote single channel).
Figure 2: Nameplate of the AGLAS Remote Duel Channel
For commissioning, the serial number on the nameplate (e.g. serial number 4015000220,
see Figure 2) must be recorded. This is then utilized for installation and configuration.

2.2.7 Theory of Operation
Background Information: AGLAS uses power line carrier technology to communicate between controlling units on an airfield
lighting series circuit. A AGLAS system typically consists of one high voltage modem, or Master, connected with the Constant
Current Regulator (CCR) powering the airfield lighting circuit and many slave units, or Remotes, collocated with individual lights in
the field. A typical AGLAS topology is provided in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Typical AGLAS Topology
2.2.7.1 Architecture
Figure 7 depicts the general nature of the system components and their interactions. The “Control System”, shown in grey, is an
external ALCMS system that provides controlling commands and digests Master and Fixture status reports. There is typically only
one control system in the architecture. The “Master”, shown in blue, is the high voltage modem that communicates commands to
and receives status from the fixtures. There can be many masters in a given system. Masters digest commands from the control
system and provide status to it. Masters also communicate amongst themselves to maintain communication timing
synchronization. Each master communicates with the fixtures on its respective circuit.

2.3 Installation
Installation is identical for all AGLAS Remote versions.
Figure 8: Diagram of AGLAS installation in series circuit
2.3.1 Installation in a Transformer Pit
The orientation required for installation is indicated by the labeling on the nameplate.
This ensures optimum heat dissipation through the housing. If the device is installed by suspension, free air circulation must be
provided for the AGLAS Remote.
NOTE: If several AGLAS Remotes are installed in a single pit, they should be spaced with a distance of at least 2-inch (50mm) from
each other and from the series transformers to have optimum communication signal separation. Because the communication
signal is coupled magnetically, the distance between the transformers should also not be less than 2-inch (50mm).
Minimum distance between remote cable feed-through and pit walls is 2-inch (50 mm).

2.3.2 Connection to the Series Transformer and the Light Fitting(s)
The 2-pin plug on cable X1 is connected to the socket for the secondary circuit of the series transformer. The light(s) is/are
connected to the 2-pin socket(s) of the cable(s) X3 (and X4 for the dual AGLAS Remote).
All plug connections must be sealed with self-bonding insulation tape or using “heat shrink” sleeves.
To improve watertightness, an optional watertight heat shrink sleeve can be installed at the junction of the plug and receptacle:
(see Figure 10)
Figure 10: Connection to series transformer and light fitting
Step 1:
Place the heat shrink sleeve over the light inset plug wire.
Step 2:
Connect the inset light plug to the Remote receptacle designated CHANNEL A (and CHANNEL B if used).
Step 3:
Pull the heat shrink sleeve over the plug-to-receptacle connection. Heats shrink the sleeve.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the Remote plug designated TRANSFORMER and the transformer secondary receptacle.
