Heliport LED Beacon 64 LED Morse H Signal

Heliport LED Beacon 64 LED Morse H Signal

This heliport LED beacon announces a landing site from a distance by flashing the letter H in Morse code. It serves hospital helipads, offshore platforms and remote heliports, where the pilot must find the site before the perimeter lights become readable. Its 64 OSRAM LEDs produce white light above 100 cd.

Benefits

• Unambiguous identification: the Morse H sequence is what ICAO Annex 14 Volume 2 requires of a heliport beacon.
• Seen from far out: luminous intensity above 100 cd, white within the CIE Chromaticity Boundary.
• Programmable output: 3%, 10% and 100% from the control panel, with the 3% step for clear nights.
• A 64-LED array: spreading the output across many emitters keeps the signal readable if one LED fails.
• Direct connection: 230 V 50 Hz supply, with no dedicated regulator needed.
• Outdoor construction: electrostatically painted anodised aluminium, UV-resistant diffuser, IP66 and IK10.

Applications and installation

Mount the beacon high, visible from every approach direction, normally outside the FATO area. It forms part of the heliport lighting system and is commanded from the same control panel as the TLOF, FATO, Aiming and Approach lights, which reserves its power. You may fix the body directly to normally flammable surfaces. The IP66 rating and UV-resistant diffuser suit exposed rooftop and coastal positions. Designed and manufactured in Europe.

Frequently asked questions

What signal does the heliport LED beacon transmit? The letter H in Morse code, by flashing, to ICAO Annex 14 Volume 2.

Why is there a 3% step? For nights with good visibility, when full intensity would dazzle a pilot close to the pad.

Does it need a constant current regulator? No. The beacon connects directly to 230 V 50 Hz.
