The Crouse-Hinds series LED low intensity red obstruction side markers are specifically designed for use as midpoint lights on tall structures exceeding 200 feet, as well as top-level lights on lower airfield buildings and extended horizontal structures such as perimeter fences and roof outlines. These side markers provide crucial visibility to help identify obstructions for aircraft and other vehicles, enhancing safety in complex environments.
Engineered to withstand hazardous areas, these side markers are rated for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations and hold ATEX and IECEx certifications, making them suitable for demanding industrial and airfield applications. They comply with Type A FAA lighting configurations, ensuring compatibility with regulatory standards. The markers are available in both single and dual light units, with each flash head offering full 360-degree coverage, ensuring consistent visibility from all directions. Their design allows for reliable operation in hazardous environments and extreme weather conditions.
Reliability is a key attribute of these side markers, capable of functioning in ambient temperatures ranging from -40°C to +55°C. The units are built to maintain performance in challenging conditions, including direct sunlight, wind-driven rain, winds exceeding 150 mph, high humidity, salt spray, and fog. Their rugged construction includes weather and corrosion-resistant lamp assemblies and housings, shock- and vibration-resistant compact designs, and integrated surge protection for electrical reliability.
The side markers carry several critical certifications and compliance approvals, including cETLus listing, Class I, Division 2, Groups B, C, and D ratings, UL1598, UL844, CSA C22.2 No. 250, CSA C22.2 No. 137, as well as Transport Canada, DGAC Mexico, and ICAO Type B and E certifications. These certifications underscore the markers' suitability for use in diverse regulatory environments worldwide.
Design-wise, each side light provides 360° coverage and can be operated either in steady or flashing modes. The units feature self-contained wiring compartments that eliminate the need for additional junction boxes, simplifying installation and maintenance. Mounting is facilitated via threaded 1-inch and ¾-inch bottom hubs. The markers' housing is made from cast copper-free aluminum, combining strength with corrosion resistance, while the lens is UV-treated, heat- and impact-resistant polycarbonate to withstand environmental stresses. A silicone gasket seals the assembly, further protecting the internal components from moisture and contaminants.
Overall, these LED low intensity red obstruction side markers deliver dependable, high-visibility performance in hazardous and harsh environments, meeting stringent safety and operational standards required for airfield and industrial applications.
