Product Overview
The Avlite FTC 183 Airport Lighting Controller is designed to serve as a central airport approach lighting controller for voltage-driven FTS 400 and FTS 800 airport lighting systems. It can control configurations ranging from a simple REIL pair to a full 28-light approach lighting installation.
The FTC 183 airport lighting controller provides real-time system status through a graphic display, allowing operators to monitor each individual light in the system. Internal memory retains transient failure data until manually reset, helping identify lights that may only occasionally miss a flash.
