Pulsar Type B Obstruction Light 32 cd Low Intensity

Pulsar Type B Obstruction Light 32 cd Low Intensity

The Pulsar Type B obstruction light is the brightest low intensity beacon in the range. Three red OSRAM LEDs deliver more than 32 cd, spread horizontally through 360 degrees. It answers the case where the regulator asks for a Type B beacon on a mast, building or antenna, and a Type A unit is no longer enough.

Benefits

• Meets the Type B threshold: ICAO Annex 14, Volume I asks for at least 32 cd between 2 and 10 degrees, and the beacon exceeds it.
• Three LEDs, one body: the same 70 x 140 mm envelope as the Type A beacons, with three times the light.
• 4.5 W draw: low enough for battery supply or for the dedicated photovoltaic system.
• Voltage of your choice: 110-230V AC at 50/60Hz, or 12V, 24V and 48V DC.
• No thermal stress: the extruded aluminium body carries the heat away from the three LEDs.
• Ready for automation: it accepts a photocell switch, a redundancy and alarm device or a photovoltaic panel.

Applications and installation

The Pulsar Type B obstruction light marks aviation obstacles: masts, antennas, chimneys, tall buildings and site structures. Clamp it to a pole of 32 to 65 mm at the highest point. For automatic switch-on at dusk, add the photocell switch from the same range. Where there is no grid, the dedicated photovoltaic system supplies the beacon, sized at up to 10 W for a Type B unit. The IP67 body keeps out blown dust and water; the rated ambient band is -20 to +40 degrees C.

Frequently asked questions

When do I use Type B instead of Type A? When the applicable rule asks for a minimum of 32 cd under ICAO Annex 14. Type A single or double beacons only cover the 10 cd threshold.

What does the beacon consume? 4.5 W at any accepted voltage: 110-230V AC or 12/24/48V DC.

How much does it weigh? 0.8 kg, at dimensions of 70 x 140 mm.
