1 ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Obelux MI compact series LED obstruction lights provide 2,000cd color aviation red light and Night Vision
Goggle (NVG) compliant infrared (850 nm) light. Both Stand-alone and Modbus operation are supported. In
Stand-alone mode, no external controllers are required to run the light. In Modbus operation, the light is
controlled with an Obelux controller as a part of an aviation light system.
Features:
►Fault monitoring with dry contact alarm relay
►Photocell
►GPS synchronization
► Support for operating in cold climates
► Visibility sensor interface controlled luminous output levels (10%, 30%, and 100%)
► Hot start for radar-controlled systems
► Easy to chain (no need for junction box)
► Embedded Web Server
Optional Controllers:
► CP Series (Interfaces: Ethernet TCP/IP and RS-485/Modbus, AC or DC)
► CP-M1 Series (Interface: RS-485/Modbus, AC or DC)

2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
In this section are general safety instructions for the device. Please read the instructions carefully before
installing or using the device to avoid any personal, environmental or material damages.
2.1 General considerations
Install device observing manufactures installation guide.
Use only cables and connectors specified by the manufacturer and in compliance with local electrical code.
Keep your device away from heat sources, dust, smoke or other harmful substances.
Do not modify the device unless otherwise approved by the manufacturer.
If you have any error situation with the device, do not try to fix it by yourself, contact your reseller.
2.2 Environmental considerations
The European Parliament and the Council of European Union issued directive 2012/19/EU to contribute to
sustainable production and consumption by, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE and, in addition, by
the re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce the disposal of waste and
to contribute to the efficient use of resources and the retrieval of valuable secondary raw materials.
Obelux aviation obstacle light products sold inside European Union can be returned to manufacturer if no
local WEEE separate collection and re-use services are available. Please contact Obelux for details.
Obelux does not refurbish returned items but forwards them to authorized WEEE treatment facility.
2.3 Personal considerations
HIGH VOLTAGE! Device contains high voltage which is very dangerous; do not try to service the device
when it is powered on.
Obelux aviation obstruction lights are Class 2M LED devices. This class is safe for accidental viewing under
all operating conditions. However, it may not be eye-safe for a person who deliberately stares into the LED
beam by overcoming their natural aversion response to the very bright light.

3 INSTALLATION
3.1 Device installation
Install the obstruction light to selected mounting point using quality-made fasteners. Level the light using a
spirit level (bubble level) if necessary. Tighten bolts and nuts. The light has 6 holes for M8 bolts on the
mounting plate. Photocell is located on top of the light under the glass and should have an uninterrupted
view of the sky to work correctly. There are two different size cable glands used on the device: M25 cable
glands for 6-17 mm cable diameter and M20 cable glands for 6-12 mm cable diameter. Make sure that all
unused glands or gland holes are sealed.
Figure 4: Dimensions (mm)
3.2 Wiring
Route cables using cable glands on back of the light head. Connect power cable wires securely to Power IN
terminal block connector. Power OUT terminal can be used to distribute power to the next light head.
Connect Modbus/RS-485 cable wires to Modbus/RS-485 IN/OUT connector. Use the same connector to
distribute data signals to next light head. Connect alarm relay cable wires to alarm relay connector. Lights
are easy to chain using lights’ internal connectors.
