Obstruction light from a side view.

RTCH864GPS

Medium intensity obstruction light with built-in GPS antenna and ambient light sensor for night time marking of structures that may be a hazard to aviation.

Main Features

Obstruction light GPS antenna radome.

All-in-one solution

The obstruction light includes a high gain active GPS antenna and an ambient light sensor, reducing the quantity of different devices that need to be installed separately thus simplify wiring.

Obstruction light mounting holes

Mounting options

Six rounded rectangle shaped mounting holes have been positioned along the base of the beacon for easy mounting. Alternatively, the unit can be supplied with a thread in the bottom for fixing using a pipe.

Obstruction light circular level

Circular vial

A vial is located in the base of the beacon to better assist the positioning of the unit. This is an extremely important process to guarantee that the photometric performance is not compromised by a bad installation.
