A704-5 Runway/Threshold/Obstruction/Helipad/Taxiway
The A704-5 solar-powered LED aviation light is a versatile and reliable Portable Solar Airfield Lighting System (PSALS). It is ideal for permanent, temporary and emergency applications. A revolutionary new optical lens design with high-intensity visible/IR dual-mode LEDs gives the A704-5 unparalleled effective intensity.
The A704-5 can be quickly deployed as a cost-effective runway lighting system. With no trenching or cabling required, a two-person crew can install a fully operational 5,000 ft. runway in one hour or less, making it ideal for use during emergencies or natural disasters.
Split-lens versions are available for red/green (threshold), amber/white (caution), and red/white 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.
