SILAS-A - LCU The SILAS-A system is managed via the Light Control Unit (LCU), which allows the following functions: • Manual switching on-off of all system lights; • Selection of the intensity level (low, medium, high); • Swtching on-off by means of a dedicated SMS, through a dedicated SIM card; • System status presentation • The LCU may be also connected to a ARCAL (Aircraft Radio Control of Aerodrome Lighting); The LCU can also be installed outdoor, since it is assembled in a IP67 case. The LCU can also be powered by solar panel. GL^SS GLOBAL SYSTEM & SERVICES

SILAS-A - RCP The RCP (Remote Control Panel) is a remote unit which allows the operators to switch on-off the lights and have a synthetic view of the status of the system. The RCP shows the status of the system by means of coloured LED and, in case no lights is working, activates an audible alarm (buzzer) to recall the attention of the operators.
