Installing and leveling the EATON FAA L-862 High Intensity Runway Light Quartz (HRLQ) correctly is crucial for optimal runway lighting performance. Here's a step-by-step guide based on the instruction manual:
Installation of Light Fixtures:
- Slide the extension over the wire assembly and into the top of the base.
- Connect the wire assembly's L-823 plug into the socket.
- Securely fasten the frangible base into the base plate or stake mount.
- Ensure the extension is fully inserted into the frangible base and is vertical. Tighten the lower components.
- Rotate the optical sub-assembly until the arrow on top of the outer lens aligns with the runway centerline, then tighten the upper components.
Leveling and Aligning Light Fixtures:
- Before leveling, remove the lock pin, clamp band, outer lens, and gasket.
- Adjust the appropriate screws to ensure the optical sub-assembly is level. Consider using the Crouse-Hinds P/N 40999 device to expedite leveling and alignment.
Installing the Lamp:
- Insert the lamp into the lamp holder assembly.
- For DCR lamps, refer to the specific installation instructions.
- Clean the lamp with alcohol and a soft cloth before operation to prevent contamination.
Installing Inner Dome Assembly:
- To replace the lamp, first, remove the lock pin, clamp ring, and outer lens.
- Loosen the screws holding the lamp holder sub-assembly and remove it.
- Reassemble the components after the lamp replacement.
Re-Lamping (Bi-Pin and PK30d):
- Follow the detailed steps for lamp replacement, which includes removing the inner dome assembly and spring clips.
Re-Lamping (DCR):
- Carefully remove the DCR lamp according to the specific instructions, including removing the inner dome and lamp holder sub-assembly.
By following these steps, you can ensure your EATON FAA L-862 High Intensity Runway Light Quartz (HRLQ) is correctly installed and leveled, contributing to safe and effective runway operations.
