PRODUCT PROFILE
AC No: 150/5345-53D and 150-53702G. After building these, we sent units
to ETL (Intertek), " Wagner said, noting
Intertek is approved by the FAA to
certify manufacturer's products to FAA
standards. " Our runway closure marker
went through rigorous testing by this
third party and passed. Once passed, they
provide us with our certificate, and our
product is then listed on the FAA listing
of certified equipment. "
Airport workers tow the lighted
runway closure marker behind a
truck. Employees can tandem tow up
to two lights at a time, but customers
must have the rear receiver hitch. The
recommended speed for highway towing
is 45 miles per hour, while off-road
towing is 10 miles per hour.

Once they reach the runway, the
airport employee levels the RCM-D
L-893(L) lighted runway closure
marker using the rear-leveling jack. The
employee then unlatches and extends
the arms of the cross before starting
the machine and turning on the circuit
breakers to activate the LED lights. The
LED lights blink; they are on for 2.5
seconds and off for 2.5 seconds.
Aldridge and Wagner noted their
customers are happy with how little
maintenance the RCM-D L-893(L)
lighted runway closure markers need.
The product's fuel filter and oil
should be changed every 250 hours. The
air filter should be changed every 500
hours and the belt should be changed
every 1,000 hours. The lighted runway

closure marker should be refueled every
120 hours of operation and employees
should check the engine oil and coolant
levels after every fuel fill.
Hali-Brite built the product to
survive in all environments. Aldridge
and Wagner said the company shipped
units all around the world, citing Alaska,
Puerto Rico and India as examples. The
rated operating temperature of a HaliBrite lighted runway closure marker is
-40 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit and 95
percent relative humidity. It was tested
to withstand 80 mile per hour winds and
direct exposure to solar radiation.
Customers can also choose to
purchase a cover for the lighted runway
closure marker if storing the product
outside. 
