Programmable LED Location & Identification Beacon
Available as three or single colour units, using high brightness LEDs and advanced
micro-electronics to provide a range of pre-programmed and user field-selectable
operating modes with on-board switches to enable different maximum light output
levels to be set and to enable control which quadrants of light are active
Depending on Beacon type, the modes which may be selected include:
o FAA L-802H Civil Helipad Beacon - 36 Flashes per Minute [FPM], 75ms pulse width
o US Army Helipad Pattern (as per TM 5-811-5) 36 Flashes per Minute, 50ms pulses White
(double Peak) – Green - Yellow
o FAA L-802M Military Helipad Beacon - 17.3 FPM, 100ms pulse width
o 2 Location beacon modes:
o Modified ICAO pattern (short [2mS] and long [ 25mS] pulse) - 30 FPM
o 25 FPM UK CAA and Transport Canada timing compliant
o 2 Morse beacon modes: 4 - 6 WPM (Words Per Minute): 1, 2 and 3 character code options
o Rotating (simulated) and flashing beacon modes
o Provision for an additional 8 custom patterns

Quadrant Control
Specification
There may be situations where an operator requires
that the beacon is only visible from certain
directions (for example, to avoid dazzling pilots or
causing a distraction).
Usually this would require the operator to fit
screening or similar but with the FEC Programmable
Location & Identification Beacon this is simply
achieved by disabling the relevant array(s) by means
of simple switches on the main circuit board.
To disable a particular array simply slide the switch
to ON (Disable) using the tip of a ball point pen or
similar tool. The relevant array(s) will remain
permanently disabled in all programming modes
until the switch(es) are turned off again.
As shipped, all of the arrays are enabled (all Array
Disable switches – Off) giving the full 360o pattern
as shown 360 Quadrant 4:4 Arrays opposite.
