3.0 Introduction
3.1 LED Runway Edge Light
Compliance with Standards
ICAO: Runway Edge: Annex 14, Vol. I, par. 5.3.9.7 and 5.3.9.10; Fig. A2-10 for 60 m runways.
T/C: Runway Edge: Transport Canada TP 312 par. 5.3.10.11 and 5.3.10.14 and Appendix B, Fig. B.1.11 for 60 m runways.
Military: Runway Edge: Photometry complies with UFC 3-535-01 Fig. 4-2.B for runways 60 m (200 feet) or more wide.
Uses
ICAO, T/C and US MIL

• Runway edge on category I, II, and III runways
• Runway edge applications 60 m (200 feet) or more wide
Features
• Average LED life of 56,000 hours under high-intensity conditions and more than 150,000 hours under typical operating
conditions, resulting in significant reduction or even elimination of ongoing maintenance costs and periodic re-lamping
expenses.
• For white runway edge applications, use of LED light source eliminates color shifts at lower CCR step settings. For red or
yellow runway applications, use of LED light source eliminates filter replacement and color shifts when viewed at various
angles or CCR step settings.
• Low protrusion above ground of ≤ 12 mm reduces vibrations caused by aircraft landing gear in both light fixture and
landing gear, increasing lamp life.
• Can be installed on existing 6.6 A or 20 A series circuits with no modifications to existing CCR or isolation transformer.
• Operates on either 3- or 5-step ferroresonant or thyristor CCRs that are designed in compliance with IEC or FAA
requirements
• Very low power rating for LED lights contributes to a lower life cycle cost. Limits cost for supporting equipment, such as
CCRs, to strict minimum.
• Full compatibility with existing airfield lighting series circuits. No need to replace CCRs, series transformers, or cables.
• LED photometric performance will be maintained longer due to a cleaner lens. The lower temperature of the lens prevents
the “baking effect” that causes contaminants to stick to the surface of the lens.
• Offers longer maintenance intervals and requires fewer spare parts, resulting in lower life cycle cost.
• Smart electronics control current to LED, so light output matches existing incandescent fixtures.
• Low-temperature lights. Temperature rise at center of top cover remains below 320 °F (160 °C).
• Light channel in front of prism windows protects prisms from damage and prevents rubber buildup thereby maintaining
optimal light output.
96A0463, Rev. C, 2020/04/02 9

Introduction
• Rugged lightning protection complies with ANSI/IEEE C62.41-1991 Location Category C2 given in FAA Eng. Brief 67.
Category C2 is defined as a 1.2/50μS – 8/20 μS combination wave, with a peak voltage of 10,000 Volts and a peak current
of 5,000 Amps.
• Unique double-barrier cord set design eliminates risk for water incursion in case the cord set becomes damaged. Cord set

6.8 Material Handling Precautions: Fasteners
DANGER
Foreign Object Damage - FOD
This equipment may contain fasteners that may come loose - torque properly.
• Only use fasteners of the same type as the one originally supplied with the equipment.
• Use of incorrect combination of gaskets, bolts and nuts can create severe damages to the product
installation and create safety risk .
• You need to know what base the light fixture will be installed in, in order to chose the correct gasket,
bolts and nuts.
• Bolt type, length, and torque value are determined by type of base, height of spacers used, and clamp
force required in FAA Engineering Brief No 83 (latest revision).
• Due to the risk of bolts vibrating loose, do not use any type of washer with the fixing bolts (such as
split lock washers) other than an anti-vibration washer. Anti-vibration washers as defined in FAA EB
83 (latest edition) must be used. For installations other than FAA, use the base can manufacturer's
recommendations.
• Always tighten the fasteners to the recommended torque. Use a calibrated torque wrench and apply
the recommended adhesive type.
Failure to follow these warnings may cause the fasteners to loosen, damage the equipment,
potentially to loosen the equipment. This can lead to a highly dangerous situation of FOD, with
potential lethal consequences.
Note
To minimize the risk of errors, the ADB SAFEGATE Sales Representative will have information on which gasket goes
with which base. This information is also provided in the product Data sheets, the User Manuals and the Spare Part
Lists.
CAUTION
Use of incorrect combination of gaskets, bolts and nuts can create severe damages to the product installation and
create multiple safety risks.
To obtain a safe and watertight installation the O-ring and retaining bolt stated in the document must be used.
You need to know what base the light fixture will be installed in, in order to choose the correct gasket, bolts and nuts.
Failure to follow these cautions can result in equipment damage or aircraft FOD.
96A0463, Rev. C, 2020/04/02 35

Maintenance
6.9 Bolt Torque Preventive Maintenance Schedule
An established schedule for checking light fixture bolt torque and bolt condition is mandatory. This is particularly true for
areas that are subject to high impact loads from aircraft such as runway status lights, runway touchdown zone lights, runway
centerline lights, and taxiway lead-off lights. Although AC 150/5340-26 offers a recommended schedule for periodic checks,
these checks should be tailored to the facility based on local conditions such as environmental issues and runway traffic load.
1. Torque according to: FAA Engineering Brief No 83 (latest revision).

CAUTION
each other.
FAA Cert Alert No. 14-03 refers to AC 150/5340-26 for the frequency of checking bolt torque. AC 150/5340-26 (latest revision)
paragraph 5.3.4.1.4, Bi-Monthly Checks states: “The torque of the bolts attaching the light fixture to its base should be checked
with a calibrated torque wrench – never use an impact wrench.”
Regular inspection as outlined in FAA Engineering Brief 83 (latest edition), Canada Civil Aviation Safety Alert Document CASA
2014-05, and any other applicable regulatory guidelines is critical in insuring torque on all bolts is restored to optimum
values. Bolts that loosen more often should be inspected and re-torqued on a more frequent basis.
It is especially important to maintain a regular inspection schedule for LED fixtures. Since LED fixtures operate more reliably
and are not subject to removal/replacement/re-torque as frequently as would be seen with incandescent fixtures, it is even
more important to implement regular torque inspections.
It is critical that remedial action be taken if bolts are found to be loose or missing during inspection. If this occurs, it is
important to carefully inspect all structural elements of the mounting system as defined in Installation. Also inspect the base
can for general structural conditions such as:
• Is the base can solidly mounted in the pavement, and not moving or rocking during rollovers?
• If a base can extension is present, are all extension attachment bolts tight?
If poor base can structure or mounting system components are not in accordance with regulatory requirements or are in poor
condition, it is the airport’s responsibility to:
• Increase the frequency of bolt torque inspection to insure that no bolts become loose or missing.
• Quickly replace/repair the mounting system components, which may include replacing the entire base can.
Airport operators must also ensure these maintenance activities are properly documented.
Digital Asset Tracking and Service Application Information
ALIS is ADB SAFEGATE’s new digital asset tracking, inspection and service solution, helps airports easily register airside assets,
