FEC Programmable LED Location & Identification Beacon

A Heliport Beacon is required where long range visual guidance is needed and not provided by any other means, or where the location of the helipad is difficult to identify due to surrounding lights.

FEC Programmable LED Location & Identification Beacon provides visual clues as flashes / Morse Code that can easily be identified and simply followed even when concentrating on flying an advanced aircraft.

HP0683

Overview

Available as three colours (Aviation Green, White & Yellow).  High brightness LEDs and advanced micro-electronics provide the following features:

  • Programmable operating modes.  A range of pre-programmed and user field-selectable operating modes.
  • Onboard switches to enable different maximum light output levels to be set and to enable control which quadrants of light are active.

Key Product Features

  • Enabled for wireless control remotely via a PC/Tablet with the USB-UHF transceiver.
  • Rotating (simulated) and flashing beacon modes.
  • Morse Modes.
  • Provision for 8 custom patterns.
  • High-visibility yellow cast aluminium body suitable for the harshest environments.
  • Pre-wired for quick and easy installations.
  • Operating voltage 120V-277V, 50/60Hz.
  • Operating temperature: -25C to +50C.
  • Rated at +50,000 hours.
