Safety Warning
This equipment uses lethal voltages which can cause serious injury and/or death. Do not
attempt to service this equipment with line power applied.
The LED lamps used in this equipment produce brilliant flashes of light and infrared (IR)
radiation. Temporary or permanent eye damage may result from looking directly at the
LED flash head while it is operating.
Disconnect power at the circuit breaker panel and wait at least 30 seconds before
servicing. Do not rely on interlock switches for removing power. Energy storage
capacitors can maintain high voltage long after power has been disconnected. Verify that
all high voltage warning lights are completely off. Measure all high voltage sources (HV1,
HV2) using a DC voltmeter to ensure that power is off and has been completely removed
before servicing.
DISCLAIMER: System is not equipped with an interlock switch and is not field serviceable
under any circumstances. Only attempt repairs in a lab setting.
Do not wear any jewelry. Gold and silver are excellent conductors of electricity.
This equipment emits near infrared radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure.

Introduction
Congratulations, and thank you for choosing an ITL lighting system component.
We trust that ITL’s reputation for technical excellence, experience in product
development, commitment to our customers and testing will ensure your complete
satisfaction.
You have chosen one of the most technologically innovative lighting components
available on the market today. This product is the result of many years of engineering
with extensive input from field service personnel.
This manual covers the IFH-1710-000 and IFH-1710-0IR. Please take the time to read
and familiarize yourself with this manual. It contains the information necessary to install,
test and troubleshoot the flash head.
Product Description
The IFH-1710, FAA type L-864(L), is a medium intensity flashing beacon as defined by
the FAA’s advisory circular, AC150-5345-43H. The IFH-1710 meets or exceeds the
specifications as defined in the advisory circular. For more information on those
specifications, please refer directly to the FAA website
www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/airports.
The IFH-1710 is a complete L-864(L) red lighting system containing an integral controller
and photodiode. The IFH-1710 can be set for either 20 or 30 flashes per minute (FPM)
using DIP switches on the controller board. The IFH-1710 comes with a 50 foot flexible
power cable installed.

Quick Installation Guide
The quick start guide shows how to install the IFH-1710 red/infrared LED beacon.
 Remove power to existing lighting system controller by turning off circuit
breaker(s).
 Verify that power has been removed by measuring all input voltages using a multi-
meter.
 Remove any packaging material from inside the flash head.
 Install flash head using supplied hardware.
 Connect flash head power cable (see cable/wire identification table below).
 Apply power to lighting system controller.
 Set lighting system controller to night mode operation.
 Verify that IFH-1710 flash head flashes red light at the appropriate rate.
 Verify that the IFH-1710 does not alarm while operating in night mode.

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.
