The TRANBERG® TEF 9980 is a helideck status light system for Zone 1 and safe areas: a flashing red light visible to the pilot from any direction of approach, telling the crew “do not land” or “move clear of the landing area” when a condition on the installation is hazardous for the helicopter. The main light gives at least 700 cd at 2–10° elevation, and the low-dome repeater lights complete the 360° coverage when the helicopter is on deck. Both are fully monitored when combined with our helideck control system, so no redundant units are needed. Powder coated seawater-resistant aluminium and tempered glass, IP66/67, NVG-compatible IR LEDs, maintenance free. Developed and manufactured at our own factory.
Application
- Status light as described in CAA UK CAP 437, NORMAM-27/DPC and the 2009 MODU Code
- Zone 1 and safe area, −40 °C to +55 °C
Features and benefits
- Automatic monitoring of all light units with our control system, no redundancy units
- Maintenance free, night vision goggle (NVG) compatible
- Low power: main light max. 30 W, repeater max. 3.5 W
- Main light dim mode gives the same 16–60 cd as the repeater
- Delivered with 3 m flame-retardant, halogen-free, mud-resistant flying lead (BFOU 0.6/1 kV)
