SCR9L
Universal Lamp Alarm Relay
Description
The SCR9L is a universal lamp alarm relay designed to sense the
failure of flashing or steady LED beacon lamps or obstruction
lamps. The SCR9L energizes when one or more lamps fail. It
will monitor the operation of one to eight beacon or obstruction
lamps. All monitored lamps must be the same wattage and
voltage. When connected to a site monitoring system, it
provides the remote lamp monitoring protection required by the
FAA-AC No: 150/5345-43E.
Operation
When a lamp fails, the SCR9L senses a decrease in current flow.
After a 10s trip delay, the onboard LED glows and the two alarm
outputs energize. The outputs and the LED are reset when the
failed lamps are replaced and the unit is recalibrated. The SCR9L
will sense an open flasher, it will not sense a continuously ON
flasher (see FB Series). Removing input voltage de-energizes the
output and the LED‘s. It does not change the calibration.

Calibration
Alarm relays must be calibrated at initial installation and when
LED lamps are replaced. Due to LED lamp aging, recalibration is
recommended every 12 months.
1. Remove input voltage
2. Move calibration switch to off position
3. Re-apply input voltage
4. LED will flash red to indicate the unit is ready for calibration
5. Visually inspect structure’s lighting to make sure all lamps
and flashers (if used) are operating properly
6. Remove input voltage
7. Adjust lamp selector switches for the correct number of
lamps to be monitored (see adjustment diagram below)
8. Re-apply input voltage
9. LED should flash red
10. Move calibrate switch to ON position
11. The LED will alternate flashing red and green
12. LED will glow steady green within 30 secs.
Calibration is complete
Calibration Failed
If the LED double blinks red, calibration failed. Remove input
voltage and repeat steps 6-8.
Notes:
a. Monitoring a mixture of LED beacons and LED obstruction
lamps is not possible with the SCR9L.
b. This alarm relay is not designed to monitor
incandescent lamps.
c. Applying input voltage when the calibrate switch is in the
OFF position, erases the previous calibration settings. The
LED will flash Red. The output relays are OFF and the unit
will not sense lamp failures.
d. Only one temperature compensated LED beacon can
be monitored with this product. A combination of
temperature compensated and standard LED beacons
cannot be monitored.
