Description
The ARCAL (automated radio control of aerodrome lighting) system allows pilots to
activate and manage the intensity of airfield lights on approach. The system is ideal for
unmanned airfields and control towers.
The Flash ARCAL system provides air-to-ground (Type I) radio control of Flash
Technology solar airfield products. The pilot controlled lighting system allows for remote
activation of your airfield’s lights and their intensity by keying the microphone button of
the pilot’s standard VHF communication transmitter.
Airport operators benefit from maximum runway usage while minimizing energy
expenditure and increasing the performance capabilities of our solar airfield products.
- Designed for outdoor, unattended all-weather operation
- Eliminates costly trenching and installation of control lines to remote facilities
- No special airborne equipment or adapters required
- Lights are activated remotely from the air and remain on at the selected intensity for a period of 15 minutes. Additional timer settings of
1, 30, 45 and 60 minutes are available - Receiver may be programmed to operate on any frequency in the specified VHF range between 118.0 to 136.0 MHz.
- Selectable decoder enable/disable prevents multiple relay operation during normal daytime operations
- Optional Remote Maintenance Module (RMM) available
- Configurable to Type J or Type K ARCAL via DIP switch selection (Canada)
