L-854 Receiver/Decoder

Rural Electric’s L-854 FM radio receiver/decoder is designed with flexibility and reliability in mind.

This field tunable radio allows pilots to control airfield lighting with a series of 3, 5 or 7 microphone clicks in a 5-second period. An integrated selectable timer shuts airfield lights off after 1, 15, 30 or 60 minutes of illumination.

Our L-854 receiver is particularly useful for small to mid-sized airfields where continuous nighttime illumination is unnecessary and expensive. Our rugged, solid-state design will provide years of service and is the perfect replacement for aging “crystal” based units.

The L-854 has a receiver which is 100% field tunable throughout the airband, 118-136MHz, in .025MHz increments.

Tested to operate indoors or outdoors in temperatures from -55C to +55C.

Standard construction features a rugged NEMA 4/12 enclosure. Custom cabinets are available to suit your application.

Relay bank operation is easily selectable from front panel. Set up couldn’t be easier.

Standard long life mechanical relays ensure compatibility with your equipment

Our solid state receiver design makes for extremely low power consumption.

Custom designs are available for OEM integration, solar deployment, mobile operation and Heliport control. Ask our engineers to build your exact model needs.

Wide range of operating voltages, from 100-240vac, 50/60Hz.

DC Version is available.

TRASTA | AIRFIELD LIGHTING TRANSFORMER STAND – 6” & 12″

ural Electric’s patented non-metallic transformer stand is designed to support an isolation transformer in a L-867 and L-868 base can.

The open bottom design is perfect for French drain systems where a landscape brick would obstruct the drain hole.

Elevates the isolation transformer approximately 6” above the can bottom.

Non-conductive construction provides a degree of isolation from the metallic base can.

The fluted foot bottom allows for passage of the series conductors while leaving the drain hole unobstructed.

Field tested to support in excess of 200 pounds.

Ships flat for economical delivery and assembles in seconds.

LM-854 | AIRPORT RUNWAY LIGHTING MONITOR

The LM-854 delivers real-time alert notifications directly to anyone via text message, voice, and email , when any part of your airport or water system fails. It is the most affordable remote monitoring solution on the market. The LM-854 is easy to install and program.

The GuardDog custom software provides a powerful interface that allows users to manage their systems, view alarms, and analyze trends. Our software is 100% web-based and is included free with every LM-854.

In the event of any irregularities or abnormal conditions, the LM-854 ensures you’re the first to know. It promptly dispatches notifications through a variety of channels including e-mail, text message, or voice call, keeping you informed and in control, no matter where you are.
