ML-3 - 1

Runway Light Installation Guide The model ML-3 is a low intensity light designed with you the user in mind. All components are as maintenance free as possible. The quality of our cone is also noteworthy. It is 10 inches in diameter and is made of spun .050 aluminum, which is more than double the thickness of competitive products. We finish this cone with a durable baked yellow enamel which provides a highly visible day time maker for your runway light edges. The post that we employ is made of electrical grade PVC conduit which has UV stabilization and is corrosion free. The lens are polycarbonate and are designed to magnify light omnidirectionally from horizontal to about 15 degrees above the horizontal plane, which is needed for most approaches. The lens, along with the 15 watt bayonet long-life bulb (1000 hour) is a proven design that has been used successfully for many years. The lens is available in clear, red, green, amber, blue, red/green, red/clear, amber/clear and green/clear. Shields are also available so that light is only visible for 180 degrees in direction. The ML-3 can be mounted in a variety of ways. The easiest is to pound an oversized pipe into the ground and simply insert the unit into the pipe. This requires and extra long PVC post and wiring which remains internal to the post.

MAKE THE RUNWAY A RECTANGLE (NOTA PARRALLELOGRAM) See Fig. 2 To make sure the corners of the runway are 90 degrees, you can use the 3,4,5 rule. This will make sure the lights on both sides of the runway are directly opposite each other. Measure 75 feet from the corner point "C" up the runway edge using the transit to stay on the line. Mark this spot Measure 100 feet from the corner point "C" across the threshold while estimating 90 degrees and temporally mark this other runway corner "E". The distance from the 75' mark to point "E" should be 125' Adjust point "E" until these measurements...

The System Installation 1. Lay out markers. 2. Dig your ditch down the runway edge. 2' away from the markers. 3. At marker locations dig shallow (4") hole. Drive stake until top is at ground level. While driving stake check for plumb using a level. 4. Run your cable into the ditch. At each light location make a loop of cable that is long enough to make the connection and return to the ditch. Do not skimp as we do not want underground splices. Hand dig from the ditch to the light. You want the cable to come up to the bottom of the post The connections will be inside the post - High and Dry....
