AGLAS SYSTEM TO CONTROL AND MONITOR INDIVIDUAL AIRFIELD LIGHTS FAA: Approved for use with SMGCS Systems. This includes both Stop Bar and Runway Guard Light control/monitoring according to AC 150/5340-28 (Current Edition); manufactured to AC 120-57 (Current Edition). Approved for Runway Status Lights System RWSL ICAO: Complies with CAT I/M/MI ICAO lamp supervision requirements. Supports A-SMGCS for enhanced aircraft AGLAS remote guidance in all weather conditions. Supports safety of airport operations by integration in runway safety nets. Introduction The Airfield Ground Lighting Automation System AGLAS® is ADB’s state-of-the art individual lamp control and monitoring system. AGLAS provides a radical leap in performance over prior airfield power line carrier systems. The system is designed to communicate on the existing airfield series circuit power line without requiring separate dedicated cabling. and monitor a variety of airfield lighting devices. It can be used AGLAS in a series h'ghting dixrn't: • Key component of (Advanced-) Surface Movement Guidance Control Systems: (A-)SMGCS • Stop bar control and monitoring; taxiway routing support. • Elevated and in-pavement Runway Guard Light (RGL) control and monitoring, CAT M/MI monitoring support. • Failed-lamp detection and location identification. • Interface with aircraft/vehicle presence sensors (option). • Selective control and monitoring of various airfield lighting devices. The system provides relevant information concerning the status of connected airfield lighting devices to both airport maintenance and air traffic control personnel. Furthermore AGLAS: • Supports the optimization of traffic volume, flexibility, maintainability and airside safety. • Ensures reliable guidance for aircraft on the ground during CAT I, II or III conditions, increasing safety and reducing the risk of runway incursions. • Automatically detects and reports lamp failures, decreasing downtime and maintenance costs.
