■ OVERVIEW
Incorporated CAN-Bus technology, the CB3 control box is capable of controlling and monitoring REDDOT LED medium
intensity obstruction lights via signals. Compared to the traditional power-switch type of control box, the CB3 control
box eliminates damages to obstruction lights and enhances reliability.
CB3 control box contains three light outputs. Each output can connect unlimited numbers of F864/F865/F86465
medium intensity obstruction lights, thanks to logic signals transmission.
CB3 control box is an ideal solution for three levels of medium intensity lights. CB3 can synchronize the flashing of all
lights on three levels. In some applications, it flashes the three levels’ lights in sequential order (middle-top-bottom).
When the obstruction lighting system includes F86465 or F865 units, the CB3 control box flashes 20,000cd white
beacons at day and automatically dims lights to 2,000cd at night.
Equipped with a 40W power converter, users can input universal 85-265VAC to the CB3 control box. With a Form C dry
alarm relay (NO&NC), the control box can transmit any obstruction lighting system’s failure to users’ alarm devices.
A PHC01 photocell connected to the CB3 control box is for detecting the ambient environment and automatically
switching the operation mode of obstruction lights. A bypass switch on the interface panel allows users to bypass the
photocell for permanently lightening or testing.
DIN-rail terminal blocks save wiring time and enhance wiring safety. A 2P circuit breaker is effective in protecting
converters from overload. A surge protector enhances protection against voltage fluctuation and lightning strikes.

■ ORDERING CODE
Series Input voltage Converter output (Note3) Operation Mode
CB3 A220 (85-265VAC) [BLANK] (No converter) SYN (Note1)
D48 (48VDC) D48 (48VDC) SEQ (Note2)
D24 (24VDC)
D12 (12VDC)
Notes: 1) SYN: All lights connected to CB3 flash synchronously.
2) Flash sequence of three levels: middle-top-bottom.
3) When input is AC, a AC-48VDC converter is built-in the control box; when input is DC, DC input supplies power directly to control board.
E.g.: CB3A220D48SEQ = CB3 control box with CAN bus module, 85-265VAC input, flash at sequential order: middle-top-bottom
