| Internally Lit Mast |
|
This is our windsock solution where ICAO compliance and internal illumination are required, consisting of a Windsock Frame rotating about Internal Illumination. It is designed to clearly show wind strength and direction in all weather and light conditions. We have supplied these to a wide range of demanding customers, from the North Sea to the US, Middle East and Asia.
Standard Features
• Complies with CAA and ICAO regulations where internal illumination is required to increase windsock visibility without causing glare to pilots.
• Designed to withstand 100mph wind speed.
• The light source is fixed, with the windsock frame and light shield rotating around it, for maximum reliability. This removes the need for a less reliable, more expensive slip ring to transfer electrical power to a rotating light. The design is also more responsive as only the windsock frame rotates - not the heavy light.
• The windsock is attached to a freely rotating cage, which is mounted
on two Stainless Steel rubber-sealed bearings for great responsiveness.
• The lamp is shielded from mouth of windsock by a shroud (with reflective inside to project maximum brightness into the windsock) to prevent pilot glare.
• The Frame and all metalwork is 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel.
• Available in standard sizes 24” and 36”; Custom sizes to customer specified diameters.
• Power supply 240 VAC or 110 VAC. Each unit is supplied with a 6m armoured flexible cable and IP65 rated junction box as standard.
