About this file
This is a product cutsheet for FAA LED Airfield Guidance Signs (AGSF-L) manufactured by ADB Safegate, detailing specifications for a guidance sign system used in airfield operations. The document provides comprehensive technical specifications for five FAA-approved sign types: L-858Y(L) informational direction and destination signs with yellow backgrounds, L-858R(L) mandatory instruction signs with red backgrounds, L-858L(L) runway and taxiway location signs with black backgrounds, L-858B(L) runway distance remaining signs, and L-858H(L) half-runway distance remaining signs. The signs are available in five size configurations with modular designs allowing for 1 to 4 modules per sign, with overall heights ranging from 18 inches for Size 1 to 48 inches for Size 4. The product utilizes LED light bar technology certified to comply with FAA requirements including AC 150/5345-44 and Engineering Brief No. 67, and is designed as a direct replacement for existing ADB Safegate AGSF series halogen signs.
The LED signs operate under three electrical styles supporting 3-step, 5-step, and 1-step series circuits with power ratings ranging from 100 watts to 300 watts depending on configuration, and are compatible with both ferroresonant and thyristor constant current regulators. Key performance features include wind resistance capabilities of 200 mph for Mode 2 signs and 300 mph for Mode 3 signs, operational temperature ranges from -40 to +131 degrees Fahrenheit, and approximately 70-77 percent energy savings compared to halogen equivalents. The cutsheet includes detailed ordering codes, sign dimension and weight specifications for various module configurations, packaging dimensions, retrofit kit availability for converting existing halogen and fluorescent signs to LED technology, and accessory options including an LED Light Engine Tester powered by four size D batteries for maintenance activities.

Note:
• VA values represent the actual load imposed on the regulator and accounts for power factor and isolation transformer load. The VA load and power factor is measured on the primary side of the isolation transformer.
Electrical Supply
Signs are internally lighted and are connected to a series circuit using the appropriately-sized 50 or 60 Hz L-830/L-831 isolation transformer.

LED Retrofit Kits for Halogen and Fluorescent Signs Application
A retrofit kit is available to convert any existing ADB Safegate AGSF-H tungsten-halogen or AGSF-F sign to an LED light source.
The same retrofit kit can be used to convert signs using LED light tubes (Part No. 48A0408 and 48A0409) to the new LED light bar design.
It typically takes 20 minutes to retrofit a 2-module sign. The retrofit process converts the sign to the same type as an existing ADB Safegate ETL-Certified sign.
Reduced Maintenance costs A LED sign virtually eliminates runway and taxiway shutdowns due to the long life LED light source. It eliminates re-lamping expenses and reduces on-going maintenance costs. The LED optical design also creates a highly uniform distribution of light, eliminating hot spots and shadows. Also, the sign provides for improved safety because there is only a low, regulated DC voltage inside sign.
Energy savings
A LED sign provides greatly reduced energy consumption compared to halogen signs. For more information, see Table 1:
LED and Halogen Sign Comparison Table.
The LED sign operates on ferroresonant or thyristor CCRs that are designed in compliance with FAA requirements. The sign electronics are designed to operate on 3-step, 5-step, and 1-step series circuits.
See Sign Load & Transformer Requirements section for sign loading and optimum sign transformer size. Note that the existing larger size transformer, if present, can be reused.
See www.adbsafegate.com for Service Bulletin ALN158 with details on how to retrofit a sign to LED light bars.
