SECTION 1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Scope
This manual provides information about the installation, operation, and maintenance of
the StrobeGuard, Model SG-60, High Intensity Obstruction Lighting System
manufactured by Honeywell.
1.2 General Description
The StrobeGuard system is a high intensity flashing white obstruction lighting system
with a xenon flashtube as the light source. It designed for use as a high intensity
aviation obstruction warning system. The system is designed and manufactured to
comply with Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular 150/5345-43E. The
StrobeGuard system can support up to 24 Flashheads controlled by a single
controller at distances up to 2500 feet. The Flashheads are FAA light type L-856 or
L-857.
System components are shown in Figure 1-1 on Page 1-2, and Figure 1-2 on Page 1-3.
The system consists of the following units:
• Model SGC-60 Master Controller
• Model SGF-60 Flashhead
• Ambient Light Sensor
1.2.1 Model SGC-60 Master Controller
The Master Controller is a microprocessor-based system that controls the flash interval
and timing, flash intensity, and monitors the complete StrobeGuard system. The
controller is designed with LED status indicators and relays for remote alarming.
1.2.2 Model SGF-60 Flashhead
The Flashhead is designed as a capacitor discharge xenon flashtube unit. The
Flashhead consists of the following major components:
• Xenon flashtube
• Reflector
• High voltage trigger transformer
• Power supply (including high voltage)
• Control circuits
1.2.3 Ambient Light Sensor (P/N 12H00107-001)
The Ambient Light Sensor (photocell) is used to provide input to the controller. With
this input, the controller adjusts the operation of the system between day, twilight, and
night.
