FCC STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part
15 of the FCC Rules. 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.
Caution: Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced installation
professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever
applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities. Failure to
do so may void the Xsight product warranty and may expose the end user or the service
provider to legal and financial liabilities. Xsight and its resellers or distributors are not

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 FODetect® System Overview
Xsight's FODetect® (Foreign Object Debris Detect) system provides continuous monitoring of airport runways for
foreign object debris (FOD), facilitating rapid detection and removal of FOD in all weather conditions. 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

1.3 About the Installation Process
FODetect® offers a multi-sensor deployment that is integrated into an existing runway lighting infrastructure.
Each sensor is installed separately utilizing an existing runway/taxiway edge light canister. Installation and testing
of the power and communications infrastructure should be completed before installing the SDUs.

Chapter 3 Power Requirements
3.1 ACC and SOC Power Requirements
In addition to the SDUs, the system includes an Analysis and Control Center (ACC) server and at least one System
Operator Console (SOC). 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.

Figure 4: Dedicated CCR configuration
3.3 Power Supply
The power supplied by the CCR is stepped down to the required voltage by a standard 150-200 watt transformer,
which is fed by the primary CCR series line. 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.
