Safety Warning
This equipment uses lethal voltages which can cause serious injury and/or death. Do not
attempt to service this equipment with line power applied.
Do not rely on interlock switches to remove lethal voltages from the system. Measure for
voltages using a voltmeter to ensure that power is off and has been completely removed.
Do not wear any jewelry. Gold and silver are excellent conductors of electricity.

Introduction
Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most advanced control solutions for red
LED obstruction lighting systems available today. This product is the result of many
years of engineering with extensive input from field service personnel.
Please take the time to read and familiarize yourself with this manual. It contains the
information necessary to install, test and troubleshoot the ILS-1700-CAT Catenary
Obstruction Lighting System.
Product Description
The ILS-1700-CAT Catenary Obstruction Lighting System consists of at least one RLC-
0236-000 Controller and multiple LED Beacons, typically model IFH-1700, although other
models are supported. The RLC-0236-000 controller is capable of controlling from 3 to 6
red LED beacons. Individual alarm relays are provided for indication of beacon alarm,
PEC alarm, power failure, GPS alarm and system mode. Virtually all information
necessary for installation and operation of the RLC-0236-000 is available on the “quick
info” card located in the door of the enclosure.

Catenary Applications
ILS-1700-CAT Catenary Red Obstruction Lighting Systems are used for night time
marking of catenary support structures such as transmission line river crossings. The
lights flash in a middle-top-bottom sequence at 60FPM. Top-level lights mark the highest
point of the catenary support structure. Mid-level lights mark the middle of the catenary
and may be omitted if the distance from the top and bottom lights is less than 100ft.
Bottom-level lights mark the bottom of the catenary. GPS flash synchronization is
available to wirelessly synchronize the flashing of multiple structures. Catenary support
structures require paint or white day catenary lighting systems (not included) for day time
marking. The catenary may require markers, spherical or cylindrical, of alternating color
(not included) for day time marking. Multiple lights may be required at each level. Refer
to FAA’s Aeronautical Study of the structure for determination of required lighting system
type and configuration. See FAA advisory circular 70/7460 Obstruction Lighting and
Marking for detailed requirements.
