The night beaconing through LED technology is the main segment in which Clampco Sistemi manufactures products and systems that comply with the ICAO and FAA regulations, allow our customers to reduce operating costs (OPEX) without neglecting investment costs (CAPEX) .

Beaconing systems with LED technology for:

-Obstacles: communications towers, buildings, water or combustion chimneys, wind turbines, cranes, etc.

-Heliports,

-High-voltage network

-Explosive environments (ATEX)

It also has a broad catalog on radioelectric emission probes (EMF)

Founded in 1989, Clampco Sistemi is a Calzavara S.p.A.’s division, an Italian company focused on the telecommunications and renewable energy sectors. Clampco Sistemi designs, produces and tests in Italy the entire portfolio of beacons and probes of electromagnetic measurements, achieving maximum levels of quality and durability in their products.

Its powerful team of engineers can continually research new products and solutions that can be customized according to the needs of customers. Products and solutions that cover a wide spectrum of markets and applications such as Oil & Gas, Telcom, Aviation, Buildings, Distribution and Power Generation, etc.

CLAMPCO-SISTEMI-BALIZAMIENTO-DE-OBSTÁCULOS

The Obstacles’ Beaconing is installed in the upper part and in the body of the structures (towers, bridges, buildings, chimneys, cranes, etc.) that allow the aircraft to be warned of the presence of such obstacles in low visibility conditions to avoid collisions.

The beacons comply with international regulations, both ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) and FAA (Federal Aviation Administration).

Typical applications are:

– Buildings

-Telecommunications’ Towers.

-Water and Combustion Chimneys

-High-voltage network

– Construction and Ports Cranes.

The regulations indicate, depending on the structure, the beaconing levels that should exist as well as the number and type of beacons per level.

In abbreviated form the rules to follow are (it is recommended to consult us specifically for each beaconing) for the beaconing of a structure are:

H < 45 m A low-intensity beacons’ level in the upper part of the structure
45 m < H < 105 m Two beacons’ level: medium intensity at the top and low intensity at ½ H.
105 m < H < 210 m Four beacon’s levels: medium intensity at the top, ¾ H low intensity, ½ H medium intensity, ¼ H low intensity.

 

And the number of beacons per level depends on the dimensions in plan of the structure:

lattice

1 to 3 beacons that indicate the shape of the structure.

In cranes in the highest part and at the ends.

L y H < 45 m One beacon per corner.
d < 6 m One beacon every 120º.

6 m < d < 31 m

One beacon every 90 º

d > 31 m

One beacon every 60 º

L y H < 45 m

4 beacons for each dimension (one per corner)

45 m < L y H < 90 m

One beacon per corner and one beacon in the middle of the dimension.

 

Clampco Sistemi products are divided, according to ICAO-FAA-CAP regulations, into:

Day/Night Detectors

High-voltage lines, often suspended between high-voltage towers a considerable distance apart, represent an obstacle for low-rise flights. This requires the installation of a specific type of beacons in addition to those installed on the self-supported towers. A simple and economical solution is the installation of signaling beacons on the high voltage distribution cables themselves.

MERCADO BALIZAMIENTO DE LÍNEAS ELÉCTRICAS2

The signaling beacon of high voltage lines is fed by the transported power over one of the high voltage cables. This solution is based on the Faraday’s Law  principle of the induced power by the magnetic field that flows on the conductor line itself.

The Clampco beacon complies with ICAO Standard Type B / FAA L-810 (> 32 cd) and can be installed on high voltage lines up to:

HV cable diameter: from 10 to 38 mm
HV line voltage: Up to 440 kV
HV line current: 15 A – 2000 A

 

Clampco model is SEGS32PTL
