1 Compliance Statement - USA

FCC Compliance WARNING

Changes or modifications to the transmitter not expressly approved by the manufacturer could

void the user's authority to operate this RF device.

FCC Compliance Statement

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two

conditions:

1. This device may not cause interference, and

2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired

operation of the device.

USA-Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can

radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may

cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no ensured specification

that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by tuning the equipment off

and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment to outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance

could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

•Simple 25kHz/8.33kHz frequency setting through front panel –no fiddly switches

•Defined number of presses to activate Channels 1, 2 or 3

•Programmable timeout for VHF, keypad and Cellular activation

•Each channel has fully independent time-out (10 seconds to 60 minutes)

•VHF and Cellular operation can be remotely enabled/disabled for extra security

•FCC/EU approved, Integrated Bluetooth module for local SMS control

•Optional FCC/EU approved universal Cellular Radio Module for remote SMS control

•Secure PIN code protected SMS commands to monitor and control your installation

•Secure status reporting –check out your installation before taking off

•Remotely activate Channels 1, 2 or 3

•3 Status relay contact outputs for BMS interface

•4 Auxiliary and 1 BMS input for switching or BMS control of VHF receiver

•Five 20 Amp heavy duty relays (3 Channels, Windsock & Beacon)

•Local and remote test and diagnostics integrated into the unit

•Very low power consumption –Approx. 3W (idle) and less than 30W max. (including

internal winter heater)

•Operates from 110-240V AC 50-60Hz or 12V DC (ideal for solar and batteries)

•Weather station interface for meteorological information from your helipad

User Installation and Operation Manual

4 Architecture of Remote Lighting Controller

Effective operator or pilot control of Helipad Lighting is critical to the safe operation of an

installation. Traditional radio Pilot Controlled Lighting (PCL) solutions using the VHF radio is a tried

and trusted method.

Now there is a new way to control your lighting and peripheral circuits using FEC’s new RLC

which integrates both traditional VHF PCL and adds Systems Management Software (SMS)

control and monitoring with the option of automatic weather reporting (wind speed/direction,

temperature, dew point and pressure) right from your helipad.

FEC’s RLC sits at the heart of a monitoring and control capability bringing together for the first

time remote lighting control, helipad weather and system reporting.

The architecture can be used simply to control lights or, with additional meterological sensors, to

provide richer monitoring and reporting both by helipad operators and other agencies.

All of these features are under the full and secure control of the owner/operator and are the basic

building blocks on which future FEC developments will be built.

User Installation and Operation Manual

5 Principles of Operation

5.1 Keypad and LCD Display - Overview

The basic functions of the RLC are configurable via the front panel keypad and screen.

Basic setup, test and monitoring of the controller is carried out via the front panel keypad and LCD

display. There are no controls inside the case.

The menus are arranged in an hierarchical structure with a consistent presentation format and key

operation. Extensive use is made of the 4 ‘Function Keys’ above the main 16 key keypad and, in

conjunction with changing legends on the screen, intuitively guide the user through the various

steps. Key features of the interface are shown below.

In the example to the left:

The 1st line indicates VHF Radio on 122.800MHz.

The 2nd line indicates Cell Radio on.

The 3rd line confirms the function of each key.

The 4th line represents the Function Keys.

Note that in some menus the boxes in the 4th line also give the current status of that function. For

example, in the Test Output (O/P) test mode, the relays can be set and unset individually. As they

change state the squares change from open to solid to indicate the active state.

Note that in some menus more information is provided and hence the exact layout above not

followed. The approach is the same and where there are differences instructions provided.

F4, usually marked ‘Exit’, returns to the previous level in the menu and in many screens accepts

the conditions set in that menu. If Marked ‘Quit’ then that screen is discarded before return.

Repeatedly pressing F4 will bring you back to the main menu.

Line 2 provides instruction

User Installation and Operation Manual

5.2 Systems Management Software –Overview

All FEC products can be configured, tested, controlled and monitored with the Systems

Management Software (SMS) via either a Bluetooth (included in all products) or Cellular Radio

Module (Optional extra) link.

SMS is run on any PC, Laptop or Tablet running MS Windows 10 and which supports Bluetooth

LE (V4.X). The main menu displays the products supported:

Select the link type (default is Bluetooth) and SMS will find all of the FEC products in

range and turned on. In this case it has found device serial number 70002 which is an RLC.

Click on the RLC image and SMS will connect to the desired device:

This is the main RLC Menu. To access the device through the menus, select your User Type

(example is Manager) and the relevant PIN . The Sub-menus are covered in later sections.
