Single Switching Unit

Single Switching Unit

Airfield Lighting Systems single switching unit for switching individual lighting fittings. Widely used for stop-bar control. The ALS SSU is available in either Fail-On or Fail-Off versions. The ALS SSUs enables the suppression of any LED or incandescent lamp from 1W to 100W that uses a 6.6A supply down to 1A. The SSU is also available in the form of a combined switching transformer with both items cast in the same encapsulated unit.

Features

  • Encapsulated in a homogenous high quality polyurethane resin
  • Uses 31% less energy than other switching devices when the lamps are suppressed
  • Current ramping as standard, gives longer lamp life
  • Interchangeable with any other manufacturers’ lamp suppression unit
  • Available in Fail-On and Fail-Off versions
  • 12hr minimum water testing prior to despatch
  • Ambient temperature range -20°C to +55°C
  • Resistant to acid and alkaline soils, oils, fuels and de-icing fluids
  • Materials used are also termite and rodent proof
  • IP rating equivalent to IP68

 

Specification

  • Switching signal voltages 12V to 72V DC – Half-wave control signals must not be used
  • Switching signal current 2 mA at 48V DC
  • Switching signal to transformer secondary isolation voltage of 2500V AC
  • SSU Control signal cables 2 core, 2.5mm²
  • Current to the lamps is ramped up and down more slowly than the regulator changes its firing angle (150ms)
  • Maximum rms voltage of 33V when open circuit

Applications

  • Military or civil airport constant current circuits.
  • Taxiway routing
  • Stop Bar control

Options

  • 2 pin plug and socket control leads
