The Carmanah airport A601 mounting plate is designed for elevated edge lighting for stake mounted or floor flange installations on concrete and dirt surfaces. Applications include: taxiway edge lighting, apron edge lighting, helipad edge lighting and obstruction lighting. Manufactured to provide FAA maximum height requirements of 14”, the Carmanah A601 mounting plate will adapt to 1.5" and 2" to 1" frangible couplings with set screws for secure fit. The mounting plate is manufactured out of aluminum with powder-coated aviation yellow for daytime visual guidance. The Carmanah 1.5" or 2" Floor Flange is recommended for permanent or temporary installations using the A601 Mounting Plate.

| 50145 | 2" to 1" Frangible Coupling |
|
The 2" to 1" frangible coupling includes a 1" column with additional set screw for secure installation using Carmanah aviation accessories. The 2" to 1" frangible coupling adapts to the 1.5" Carmanah Floor Flange, the 2" Carmanah Floor Flange, the 601 airport mounting plate and conventional 2" threaded NPT stakes. The 2" to 1" frangible coupling is manufactured out of aluminum, providing FAA compliance for high and medium intensity edge light requirements.
The 2" NPT Frangible Coupling will provide a permanent, temporary or expedited mounting system for Carmanah aviation lights.
|
|
|
The 2.0" floor flange is designed for concrete installations using the 2" to 1" frangible coupling for taxiway, runway, threshold, apron, or helipad edge installations. The 2.0" floor flange is excellent for permanent installations where current infrastructure is not in place and edge lights need to be secured and frangible.

| AW1601 | A601 Stake Mounting System |
|
The A601 Stake Mounting System is a complete mounting system for Model A601 solar-powered LED airfield lights that are installed in gravel or earth locations. The system includes a 14-inch (35cm) mounting stake that can be hammered into the ground, a frangible grooved column that can be replaced separately if broken on impact (as designed) and a mounting base pre-drilled to accommodate the A601 light. The system comes optionally, with a 10-inch (25cm) diameter grass guard disk that keeps grass and weeds from growing around the mounting stake (Part # AW1601GG).

|
The Stake Tapper is a recommended accessory for the installation of the A601 Stake Mounting Kit. Made from stainless steel, the unit is placed inside the circular mount at the top of the mounting stake. The Stake Tapper is designed to take the force of a hammer or mallet when installing the A601 stake mounting stake into a dirt, sand or gravel environment. The tapper protects the circular mounting hole for the frangible grooved column so it is not deformed during installation.

| 37002 | Airport Mounting Stake (1.5" Hub) |
|
Manufactured out of galvanized steel, the all weather airport mounting stake allows for permanent installation in earth and gravel environments at general aviation airports and remote defense airfields. The 30" airport mounting stake is available in 2" and 1.5" coupling configurations. Frangible coupling size must be determined before ordering.
Stake (Angle Iron) Mounting Instructions: Install the stake in a 6" (15 cm) diameter hole at a depth of 30" (76 cm). Do not install stake by driving it into the ground. Backfill around the stake with thoroughly compacted earth passing a 1" (2.54 cm) sieve. Where required due to unstable soil conditions, backfill with concrete. Install the top of the stake even with, or not more than 1/2" (1.3 cm), above the finished grade and maintain within 1 degree of the vertical. In areas where frost may cause heaving, anchor the stake with concrete and use a permeable backfill material such as sand and then cover the top surface with an impervious material to reduce moisture penetration.

Optional infrared programmer. Functions available through the programmer include:
Flash code settings
Intensity and autonomy adjustments
LUX Level adjustments for the photoelectric switch that automatically turns the on/off at dusk/dawn
Activation / deactivation ability for storage or transport
A battery voltage check to determine the relative health of the battery system
About the infrared programmer
The programmer employed by Carmanah to control its Model A601 and A702 aviation lights is a standard infrared unit, identical to those used to operate televisions, VCR's, stereos, etc. Why use a standard infrared programmer? There are many reasons behind this decision:
Infrared technology requires minimal additional power to work effectively -- an important quality for our solar-powered, self-contained products.
The programmer is simple to use and people are typically familiar with its operation.
The programmer is extremely cost-effective. These programmers are mass-produced and the cost is very low relative to the cost of supplying a programmer custom manufactured by Carmanah.
Operating the infrared programmer
A video tutorial on the use of the Carmanah infrared programming is available here.
