Flash Head
Flash heads need to be mounted such that all four mounting feet are in direct contact with
an unpainted surface in order to allow for proper grounding of the electrical components.
It also needs to be mounted such that it will not obstruct access to the internal
components for the purpose of installing and maintaining the equipment. The following
diagrams detail the mounting dimensions and clearance for proper access.
Leveling
Flash heads need to be leveled properly for correct vertical beam spread. The following
diagrams detail how to use a compact “torpedo” level on two axes to ensure that the flash
head is mounted level. If the flash head mounting surface is not level already use shims
to correct. Do not compromise grounding of the four flash head mounting feet.

System Overview
The major components of the IFH-1710 are shown in the block diagram below. A six-
conductor flexible cable comes pre-installed to provide power and access to a Form-C
alarm contact. The internal controller monitors an integrated photodiode to determine the
appropriate operating mode (day or night). In night mode the internal controller uses solid
state electronics to alternate AC power to the IFH-1710 power supply at appropriately
timed intervals to create the selected flash rate. IFH-1710 uses an integrated GPS
receiver to determine the exact time and synchronizes the flash sequence with other IFH-
1710 units or competitor’s units. The AC current to the power supply is monitored and an
alarm generated if the current falls below the normal operating range or if the integrated
flasher circuit fails. The IFH-1710 power supply converts AC power into a controlled DC
current. The controlled DC current flows through all 12 LED modules in series causing
the LEDs to produce light. Each LED module contains three high power LEDs with a
custom optic mounted in front of each LED. The optic focuses the light from the LED into
the required beam pattern.

Flash Inhibit Input
A Flash Inhibit Input is for connection to an Aircraft Detection System (ADS). The input
accepts 12 to 240 VAC or VDC (polarity insensitive) to inhibit flashing when no aircraft
are detected by the ADS. The red and green Mode LEDs will flash to indicate flashing is
inhibited. When no signal is present on the Flash Inhibit Input the IFH-1710 will operate
in the mode determined by the photodiode. This function must be enabled via DIP switch
SW2-3.
When flashing is Inhibited, in order to verify continuing operational readiness, the IFH-
1710 will perform a Readiness Test beginning around midnight Pacific Time each day.
The Readiness Test will cause the IFH-1710 to operate in night mode (flashing) for
approximately one minute. Should the IFH-1710 detect a malfunction during the
Readiness Test, the alarm relay will activate and remain activated after the test period
ends. The alarm will clear upon the next test cycle where no malfunction is detected.
The alarm will also clear if the Flash Inhibit Input is de-activated or if power to IFH-1710 is
cycled.
The ADS must deactivate the Flash Inhibit Input for at a minimum of one second every 24
hours. Failure of the ADS to deactivate the Flash Inhibit Input will result in the IFH-1710
resuming normal operation with the mode determined by the photodiode.
DIP Switch SW2-3 must be On to enable the Flash Inhibit Input.
Flash Inhibit Input electrical connections are made using the Brown & Yellow wires
in the flash head cable.
The Flash Inhibit Input accepts 12 to 240 VAC or VDC to inhibit flashing.
The Red and Green Mode LEDs flash together when flashing is inhibited.
A Readiness Test is automatically performed once every 24 hours.
The ADS must deactivate the Flash Enable Input once every 24 hours.

Trouble-Shooting
Should the IFH-1710 red/infrared LED beacon fail to produce light, perform the following
steps:
Verify that AC power is being supplied to IFH-1710.
Press and hold the TEST button on the controller board for two seconds. Using a digital
voltmeter measure the AC voltage on controller board from P3-3 to P3-2 (black to white).
For 10 flash cycles after pressing TEST the controller should enter night mode operation.
The MODE indicator LED should flash during this time. The controller board should
produce a pulsing AC voltage on P3. If this fails to happen replace the controller board.
Using a digital multi-meter measure the DC voltage from P2-1 to P2-2 (red to black) on
the power supply board. Normal operating voltage is 65 to 100VDC.
A voltage near 180V indicates that one of the twelve LED modules may have
failed. Use an ITL-0705-TST Tester to check each LED module and replace as
necessary. If an LED module has failed, check for and replace any damaged
optics on that module. Be sure that the optics snap into the alignment holes on the
LED modules during replacement.
A voltage under 65V indicates that the power supply may have failed. Replace
fuse F1 on the power supply board or replace the power supply board.
