Aircraft Warning Light (AWL)
Aircraft Warning Lights (AWL) are a critical safety component in telecom tower deployments.
Telecom towers pose a potential hazard to aircraft, especially at night. As towers vary significantly in height, fully functional warning lights are essential to alert pilots and other airspace users. Each tower’s light status must be continuously monitored, and any malfunction requires immediate service to maintain safety compliance.
Aircraft warning lights may operate on either AC or DC power.
Galooli provides comprehensive monitoring solutions for both AC- and DC-powered aircraft warning lights, enabling real-time visibility and control.
Additional capabilities—including alerts, notifications, and detailed reports—can be configured through the Galooli solution to ensure proactive maintenance and regulatory compliance.
AC Powered AWL
The data is achieved via monitoring the status of the AWL. The monitoring is carried out with the help of an AC current transducer ring installed around the AC cable which carries the tower light current.
The transducer is instructed to read the tower bulb's AC current Amperes being drawn from the power source. Changes in current are related to the number of bulbs that are working or faulty.
The AC current transducer ring connects to Galooli gateways like Elara and EX20 extension in order to display the data to the user via Galooli solutions.
DC Powered AWL
The monitoring is achieved through dry contact communication. Galooli solutions like Elara and EX20 extension have dedicated dry contacts for this installation that are connected directly to the AWL controller - https://galooli.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KP/pages/2775973928
