3.0 AV-OL-KT-A0
The AV-OL-KT-A0 Obstruction Lighting Kit is a full turnkey solution for A0 defined
structures of up to 150 feet (45m) above ground level (AGL). These include
telecommunication towers and utility towers, wind turbines, cranes, buildings and other tall
structures.
The A-0 Obstruction Solution comes fully assembled, ready to install, and includes the
following items:
• 1 x L-810 Dual Obstruction Light with integral Photocell
• Central Control Unit
The L-810 is a low intensity, Dual Obstruction Light and is set to illuminate at night only in
the Steady-burning configuration for A0. The LED optics offer an energy efficient and cost-
effective lighting solution.
The A-0 Obstruction Light Solution is available in two input power configurations; a
universal AC (90-264VAC) or DC (12-48VDC) (solar compatible) and comes with Star2M™
monitoring via GSM or SATCOM as options.
With a range of available brackets and cables, utility and telecommunication companies,
electrical contractors and state and local governments can now quickly and easily
purchase all obstruction lighting components from a single source, simplifying the ordering
process and reducing the possibility of incompatible, stand-alone components from
different manufacturers.
NOTE: This installation and service manual must be used in conjunction with the
installation manuals of the individual lighting kit components.

5.0 Safety Information
Before proceeding with installation or service, make sure the following conditions are met:
• Ensure the tower or mast is grounded (NO RF OR SHOCK HAZARD)
• Check the mast lighting circuit is not faulty
• Ensure power lines are not ‘live’ (NO ELECTRICAL HAZARD)
• Avoid touching live circuits!
• Avoid touching any component or any part of the circuitry while the unit is operating.
Do not change components or make adjustments inside the unit with power on.
• Make sure the mounting pole is vertically aligned to guarantee the required beam
pattern of the obstruction light.
• Make sure any nearby obstacles do not impede the lights’ beam pattern.
• When installing, comply with all local electrical code(s).
• Mains power should always be disconnected when work is being done in close
proximity to electrical fittings, and electrical work should only be done by a licensed
electrician.
• Operate the light only within the indicated electrical ratings and product usage
instructions.
• To ensure that the light and peripheral equipment function safely and correctly, use
cable in compliance with the effective local electrical code.
• Do not stare at the LED or shine the LED into your eyes or those of another person.
• Dispose of the product according to the local laws and regulations for your region, for
example, at a recycling centre that accepts electronic devices.

Installation & Service Manual

6.0 Operation and Setup
6.1 System Overview
Avlite’s A0 Obstruction Lighting Solution Kit consists of two components: A Control Unit
which provides power and (optional) remote monitoring and a single L-810 steady burning,
Dual Obstruction Light fixture.
The L-810 Dual Light operates as a concurrent fixture where both individual lights operate
at the same time.
The A0 Obstruction Lighting Kit automatically switches between day and night mode via
an integrated Photocell. When powered up, the L-810 Dual Obstruction light constantly
checks day/night status using its internal Photocell which then averages the light
measurement for 30 seconds. The Dual Light fixture turns on when the ambient light
decreases to no less than 376.7 lux and turns off when the ambient light decreases to no
more than 645.8 lux.
The L-810 Dual light fixture incorporates internal diagnostic checking and an alarm contact
for remote monitoring. The alarm relay is energized in normal operation and is released if
there is an LED or power fault.
The Control Unit automatically evaluates the L-810 Dual Obstruction Light for operation and
performance while providing local and remote display of information and alarms; operators
can conveniently view the lights’ real time status from the web based Star2M™ portal.

6.3 T1 Controller
The T1 Control Unit is an essential component of the A0 Obstruction Lighting Kit as it
provides power and monitoring of the Dual light fixture in the system.
For safety and security, the control enclosure comes with a safety interlock which prevents
access to the controller while the system is powered on.
The Controller is available in two input power configurations; a universal AC (90-264 VAC)
or DC (12-48 VDC) and comes with remote monitoring via Star2M with either GSM or
Satcom telemetry types as options.
The Control unit comes with an alarm contact for remote monitoring of the Dual Light
Fixture which receives the associated alarm in the event of a power or LED fault.

7.0 Unpacking, Installation, Wiring and
Setup
7.1 Unpacking
Unpack all hardware and inspect for damage. If there is any damage, please contact your
Avlite Office.
Retain original packing material for possible future use in shipping.
7.2 Installation
WARNING:
Confirm that the power switch is toggled to the OFF position when
power is connected. DO NOT connect power to the PCU when the
control panel power switch is toggled to the PWR position. This may
result in damage to the power sources.
WARNING:
DO NOT connect directly to the DC output of a generator, or any
other unregulated power source. Connecting to an unregulated
source may result in damage.
WARNING:
