A702-IR Infrared Aviation
The Model A702-IR infrared aviation light is a specialized version of the Model A702-5 with an NVG-compatible light source that is invisible to the naked eye, yet can be seen through night vision goggles from up to 6.5 NM away. Suitable for drop zones, expedited airfields, and covert operations, the A702-IR is user-activated for maximum control and autonomy. Designed for the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army the A702-IR is ideal for temporary or permanent runway-edge lighting, and helipad lighting applications.

Accessories
| 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.

|
| 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.

A video tutorial on the use of the Carmanah infrared programming is available here.

| 36339 | 700 Series Mounting Plate |
|
The Carmanah airport 700 Series mounting plate is designed for elevated runway, threshold and runway caution edge lighting. The 700 Series mounting plate is designed for stake mounted or floor flange installations on concrete and/or dirt surfaces. Manufactured to fit 1.5" or 2" to 1" frangible couplings, the 700 Series mounting plate is designed to bolt into the bottom of the 700 series aviation light using stainless steel bolts. Powder coated aviation yellow, the 700 Series mounting plate adapts to the 1.5" Carmanah Floor Flange using a 1.5" frangible coupling or the 2" Carmanah Floor Flange using a 2" to 1" frangible coupling. Common size of the airports coupling will determine which floor flange is ordered.

The A702 IR Shield is used for Defense "box and one" operations providing unidirectional 180 degree infrared or visible output.
The unit can be installed by the end user or during manufacturing offering versatile performance in the rare chance that omnidirectional output may be needed at a later date.
