The V-BEACON-M1_23S Vertiport Beacon Light is designed to enhance the visibility of vertiports during poor visibility conditions by emitting a distinctive white flashing Morse code "V," consisting of a group of four flashes. This beacon offers improved resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for a range of environments. It features a flashing type beacon with white light that complies with the CIE Chromaticity Boundary, providing a light intensity exceeding 2,500 candela, adjustable at 3%, 10%, and 100% intensity levels. The light provides full 360-degree horizontal coverage, ensuring visibility from all directions.
Operating on an input voltage range of 110 to 230 Vac, the beacon consumes an average power of 38 watts at a 35% duty cycle, with a peak power consumption of 107 watts. It is built to last, boasting an average operational life of 100,000 hours. The unit is designed to perform reliably in harsh conditions, with an operating temperature range from -40°C to +55°C and an IP66 protection rating, which ensures excellent resistance to dust and water ingress.
The beacon’s body is constructed from anodized aluminum, paired with a transparent polycarbonate cap to protect the light source. The sub control unit is made from durable stainless steel AISI304. The beacon itself weighs 8.5 kilograms, with an additional 1-kilogram sunshield. Optional mounting hardware (SCSG_HDGS) is available to accommodate various installation needs, including “L” shaped sections ranging from 50×50 mm to 160×160 mm, as well as circular profiles with diameters between 48.3 mm and 219.1 mm. An adjustable fixing plate allows ±60° adjustment on the horizontal plane, facilitating precise alignment.
This vertiport beacon light complies with ICAO standards, specifically ICAO Annex 14, Volume II, Chapter 5.3.2, ensuring it meets international aviation safety requirements. It is ideal for use on rooftop vertiports as well as surface-level vertiports, providing reliable, high-visibility lighting critical for the safe operation of vertical take-off and landing aircraft.
