SubscribeSafegate introduce the new ASP-SafeControl for efficient control and selection of airport circuitry and lighting
Save time installing your Stop bar
Efficient Circuit Selectors Reduce Airport Runway and Terminal Downtime
Time is a critical factor for airports and operational changes are often restricted to night time working. During installation, different parts of the airport (from the Runways, Terminals and Hangers) need to be closed down, resulting in time and money losses for airports, airlines and passengers.
When a standard-sized airport installs five stop bars, they typically use CCRs (Constant Current Regulator) with circuit selectors. Four CCRs connected to five stop bars result in extensive digging, massive cabling and prolonged installation. During installation, time-consuming procedures lead to delays, in turn leading to a loss of revenue for the airport and dissatisfied travellers for the airlines.
By using ASP-SafeControl, time is no longer a critical factor. With 13 weeks of time saved compared to the traditional solution, airports, airlines and passengers can continue their daily operations.
In addition to time saved, airports get stop bars that are monitored (ICAO annex 14 §8.3.2) and controlled, making it possible for airports to improve the safety level by avoiding runway incursions.
ASP-SafeControl Airport Circuit Selectors Improve Safety and Capacity for Airport Runways
Save millions on your series circuit design
A modern Cat II/III airfield building for future growth and A-SMGCS typically has between 500 and 1,500 light segments per runway, including taxiways. Traditionally, these segments have been designed and created using CCR's (constant current regulators) and circuit selectors, resulting in thousands of kilometres of cable and numerous CCR's.
Define your segments using ASP-SafeControl allowing for up to 127 segments on each circuit.
The result is increased number of lights per circuit and significant decrease in the total number of CCR's, and cabling needed. Safegate's ASP has the ability to differentiate between critical and non-critical lamp failure to ensure quick response and maximum up-time for the runway. With a modern design your airport can improve safety and capacity at one-third the cost of a traditional circuit design and save on maintenance at the same time.
