PAPI Precision Approach Path Indicator

Product catalog summary
Overview:
The document provides technical specifications and ordering information for the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) systems, specifically the L-880 and L-881 models, which comply with FAA and ICAO standards. These systems assist pilots in maintaining the correct glide slope during runway approaches.

Specifications:
- Compliance: FAA AC 150/5345-28, ICAO Annex 14.
- System Components: L-880 consists of four units, each with two or three 200-watt lamps. The system uses a combination of white and red lights to indicate the aircraft's position relative to the glide slope.
- Styles: Style A includes a Power and Control Unit (PCU) with automatic intensity control and remote operation capabilities. Style B is powered by an L-828 constant current regulator and requires additional components like isolation transformers.

Features:
- ETL Certified with 1000-hour lamps.
- Sharp signal transition and precise setting tools.
- Style B includes a lamp bypass circuit and tilt switch indicator lights.
- PCU features adjustable power supply and remote control override.

Ordering Information:
- Catalog numbers are constructed based on system units and power availability.
- Style A includes PCU and mounting hardware; additional components like baseplates and transformers must be ordered separately.
- Options include temperature class, day/night operation settings, and protective lens covers.

Installation and Layout:
- Installation guidelines refer to FAA Advisory Circular AC150/5345-28.
- Suggested layout includes specific measurements for runway and unit placement.
- Wiring diagrams provided for both Style A and Style B systems.

Accessories and Parts:
- Includes clinometers, baseplates, tilt levels, and various renewal parts like lamps and sockets.
- Detailed part numbers and descriptions for ordering spare units and components.

Dimensions and Shipping:
- Detailed dimensions for PAPI units and PCUs.
- Shipping weights and volumes are specified for different components.

PAPI Precision Approach Path Indicator-1

Approach & Navigational Aids Section Head Precision Approach Path Indicator Compliances: FAA: AC 150/5345-28 Current Edition: L-880 and L-881 ICAO Annex 14 Applications The PAPI System provides the pilot a positive visual indication of the aircraft’s position relative to the optimal glide slope during final approach to the runway. The L-880 PAPI system consists of four units in a line or bar, each unit having two or three 200 watt lamps. The PAPI unit produces a beam of light, the upper portion being white, the lower red. As the pilot’s vertical position changes, the color of the light as seen by the pilot changes instantaneously. The Style A PAPI uses a Power and Control Unit (PCU) which has a photocell for automatic day/night intensity control. The PCU can be operated by using an L-854 radio controller signaled by an approaching aircraft. The Style B PAPI is powered by an L-828 constant current regulator. Style B does not include isolation transformers or connector kits, please order those separately. Features PAPI UNIT ETL Certified 1000 Hour Lamps Meets ICAO Recommendations Sharp Signal Transition: less than 3 Minutes of Arc Precise Setting Tool: ±2 Minutes of Arc (not included with PAPI unit) Ordering Information How to Order: Construct the basic catalog number based on the number of units per system and the power available. Add dash numbers for the temperature class and options. Style A includes the PCU. Above ground mounting hardware is included except 2 inch EMT for the legs. Order baseplates, transformer bases, and all other below ground items separately. Example: 880A2A-2 is an FAA L-880 system. It includes the PCU and tilt switches for voltage operation. 880A2B-2-11 is an ICAO PAPI system. It includes the EMT legs and it does not have tilt switches. Model: Lamps: 2 = 2 Lamps per Unit 3 = 3 Lamps per Unit Style: A = 220V to 240V B = 6.6A Temperature Class: 1 = –35°C 2 = –55°C Options: 11 = ICAO (No tilt switch, light unit legs included, -55°C operation) (see above example) 12 = Day operation enabled, night operation on/off interlocked with R/W circuit (Style A Only) 13 = Day & Night operation on/off interlocked with R/W circuit. (Style A Only) 16 = Protective lens cover 21 = Grounded Transformers – For No Tilt Switch units only S550 = Painted Stainless Steel PAPI Light Unit Housing Note: Order one clinometer (aiming device) 25220 separately. Tilt Switch Indicator Lights (Style B) POWER AND CONTROL UNIT(PCU) (Style A) Adjustable Power Supply - 195 to 265 VAC (not included w/PAPI Unit) 50 Hz or 60 Hz Operation Remote Control Override Fixture Type: Lamp Bypass Circuit (Style B) Power Circuit Breaker Indicator Lights: Internal D.C.
