These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Caution: It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance to FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installer should configure the output power level of antennas, according to country regulations and per antenna type.

Runway FOD has resulted in significant damage to aircraft that has cost the aviation industry internationally $13 billion per year in direct plus indirect costs. FOD has also been implicated in airplane crashes that resulted in death and injury to aircraft personnel and passengers. The FODetect® system’s is based on Surface Detection Units (SDUs) distributed along both sides of the airport runway. Xsight's proprietary SDU software integrates leading image processing technology with Millimeter-Wave-Radar sensors in order to detect any change along the ground. The SDUs communicate with a central computer server (ACC) via a robust LAN connection based on standard technologies such as copper and fiber. Based on the FOD data received from the SDUs, the ACC sends alerts about suspected FOD to the system operator console (SOC). SOC operators can view real-time images and video of the FOD as well as operate SDU sensors to get a clearer visual on the detected FOD. Personnel sent to remove a FOD are guided directly to the FOD location by a laser beam that is emitted from the SDU all the way to the detected FOD. FODetect® insures near-immediate detection of FOD through its multi-sensor system. Each SDU scans its own predetermined region between airplane movements, (typically, within 90 seconds) enabling the entire runway to be scanned in parallel during that time. In addition to FOD detection, SDU cameras provide air and ground controllers with an added benefit of round-the-clock general surveillance capabilities. The SDUs are integrated into an existing runway lighting infrastructure. Each SDU is installed separately utilizing an existing runway/taxiway edge light canister, and using the existing mechanical infrastructure and cable ducts to the extent possible. This minimizes installation costs and time while achieving the optimal location for runway surveillance Systems that are installed several hundreds of meters from the runway are likely to provide relatively poor detection capabilities due to increased atmospheric interference and signal attenuation. The SDUs are spaced along the runway to allow overlapping coverage by adjacent SDUs. This achieves system redundancy, ensuring comprehensive coverage even in the case of individual SDU failure. Using multiple sources of information in the FOD Alert algorithm also reduces the rate of false alarms and increases the real FOD

A recommended configuration includes 2 ACC modules, in order to provide redundancy and failover between the two servers. In some installations, two SOC computers are also used – one in the operations tower by the operations staff, and one in the Air Traffic Control (ATC) by the ATC. The power requirement for the ACC server is AC 500W for the computer and 45W for a standard monitor. The power requirement for the SOC workstations is AC 400W for the computer and 60W for a 22” monitor. 3.2 Input Power – Using a Constant Current Regulator Power is generally supplied by constant current from dedicated CCRs (Constant Current Regulators) placed in the airport’s existing CCR vaults. The SDUs are connected to the CCRs using separate power cables that are placed in existing power sleeves and ducts. One 7500 watt CCR generally suffices for each runway. If there are more than 100 SDUs on the runway, a 10,000 watt CCR should be used. An alternative option is to use the runway lighting’s existing CCR to power the SDUs by giving each SDU control over the runway edge light next to which it is installed.

It is then converted from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) by a power supply unit (P/N – XT1050000027) located in each canister next to the SDU. When a power supply with an embedded transformer is used (P/N – XT1050000021), the combined power supply is connected to the primary CCR series line.
