Helipad Radio Controller is designed to provide complete control of heliport lighting systems. Lighting control can be provided by low voltage DC or AC power. The output of the controller can be activated manually by internal switches, or VHF radio control. The system is fully protected from input transients, output overload, over-voltage, and over-temperature conditions. The watertight Metal or stainless steel enclosure provides protection from adverse weather conditions. The Lansing Radio Controller is designed to provide pilots direct, unassisted air-to-ground control of power circuits. Pilots activate lights from the air with key clicks from a VHF AM aircraft band(118-137 MHZ) radio. The controller uses a high precision radio to prevent false triggering
This product is suitable for surface helicopter aprons, elevated helicopter aprons, ship helicopter aprons, deck aprons, portable aprons, small general-purpose airports, etc.
● The casing is made of cold rolled steel or SUS 304 stainless steel, which can withstand the harshest environments.
● The field programmable frequency is between 118 and 137MHz (in 25KHz increments) and the industry default is 128.00MHz.
● Both Low voltage DC or AC voltage available
● The system may be set to respond to 3 clicks (default setting: 5 clicks).
● Adjustable activation duration (user programmable 15, 30, and 60 minutes) (permanent memory: last time duration).
● Ability to control the system operation by various means: on/off switch, photocell, and radio control.
● Input transient protection.
● Output overload and over-voltage protection.
● With Surge protection, to protect all helipad lightings from strong lighting
● With external remote antenna.
● Over-temperature shut-down protection.
● Fully integrated control and power distribution system simplifies system setup and maintenance.
● Radio Controllers save power and extend fixture lamp life by only activating the lights when needed.
● Light Intensity Control by using a potentiometer, the brightness levels can be set among 10%, 30% or 100%
● Simple operation: internal on/off power switch.
● Wide operating temperature range: -10°C to +55°C.

Dimming options
The dimming radio controller allows pilots to control the light to click on the VHF aircraft frequency band of their microphone. Pilots can reduce glare and adjust system brightness
By selecting the intensity from high (2 clicks), medium (3 clicks) or low (4 clicks), it provides 100%, 30% or 10% output when they approach the heliport. This dimming function needs to be used in conjunction with a dimming controller, and the navigation aid needs to be a dimming light. Equipped with an external contactor (20 ampere) with a load capacity of 2000W. If a capacity exceeding 2000W is required, the radio controller needs to expand the capacity to (45 amps) of contactors.
Tercom use:
Prerequisite: The frequency of the walkie-talkie must be set to be consistent with the frequency of the receiver. When the pilot uses the walkie-talkie to control the cabinet,It takes 2 consecutive presses within 2 seconds to activate the obstruction lights, boundary lights, floodlights, beacons, weather vanes, and anemometers of the cabinet at the same time;If the lamp supports dimming function (485 mode), the brightness of the lamp is output at 100% by pressing twice continuously, and the brightness of the lamp is output at 30% by pressing three times continuously, and the brightness of the lamp is output by 10. % Output.The system can also permanently memorize the power off and default the last luminosity ratio.
Precautions:
After pressing an operation on the tercom, there should be more than 3 seconds in between,then the next operation is required, otherwise the operation has no response.
Installation
①Before wiring, make sure that the power supply voltage is the same as the controller voltage.
②After connecting the wires, check that the wires are correct before turning on the power.
Precautions
• It is strictly forbidden to use a power supply voltage other than the nominal, otherwise it will damage the equipment;
• When the equipment fails, please do not disassemble it by yourself, so as to avoid personal injury caused by internal high voltage;
• Non-professionals are not allowed to repair the equipment to avoid expanding the fault and causing personal injury.
Modulation panel operation instructions:
When the pilot presses the microphone twice to activate the lamp, the TX light is always on, and the Delay time light is always on. The delay time can be manually selected, and the system will be permanently memorized, and the last selected mode will be automatically continued when it is started next time.
The brightness adjustment can also be selected manually or wirelessly. The OFF button can also be manually forcibly closed, the lamp will stop working immediately, and the delayed shutdown system will automatically shut down after the delay time reached.
