FB9L - SSAC Beacon Failure Alarm 120 230VAC for LED Beacons
The FB9L Series Family
The FB series is a universal lamp alarm relay designed to sense the failure of flashing LED beacon lamps. It will monitor the operation of one to eight beacons connected to a single flasher and/or auxiliary modules and the operation of the flasher. The FB Series output relay energizes when one or more lamps fail. All monitored lamps must be the same wattage and voltage. The 0.5A solid-state output energizes when a flasher failure is sensed.
Operation
When a LED beacon lamp fails, the FB senses a decrease in current flow. After a 10s lamp failure trip delay, the
isolated SPDT (4-5-6) and non-isolated SPNO (3-1) relay contacts energize. These contacts are used to indicate a
beacon failure has occurred. The "L" onboard LED indicator flashes green during the trip delay and glows red Available Models: after the output relay energizes. Connected to a site monitoring system, it provides remote beacon monitoring FB9L
required by FAA-AC No: 150/5345-43E.
The FB also monitors the operation of the flasher. If the flasher remains in the ON or OFF condition for more than 6s the solid-state output energizes and the "F" flasher failure, onboard LED glows red. This output is normally used to energize an external flasher bypass relay. The contacts of the bypass relay are used to route voltage around the failed flasher and to indicate an alarm condition.
Note: In a single flasher, single beacon system, if the beacon lamp fails, zero current flow is detected. This will
cause the flasher failure output to energize after 6s and then the beacon failure outputs after 10s. This is normal
operation and can be expected anytime zero current is flowing through the monitored conductor.
Calibration
The alarm relays must be calibrated after initial installation and each time the LED lamps are replaced. In order to calibrate or re-calibrate the alarm relay, the internal memory must be cleared.
Clearing Memory:
Remove input voltage, transfer the calibration switch to the off position, re-apply input voltage. The LED will flash Red to indicate the memory is clear and the relay is ready for calibration.
