TLM Tower Light Monitor

Steer Clear of Costly FCC Fines for Lighting Violations

The TLM-2 Tower Light Monitor is a microprocessor-driven system designed to keep watch over FAA type A incandescent and LED tower lights. It lets you catch lighting compliance issues early, before minor faults escalate into steep penalties.

What the TLM-2 Offers

  • Dedicated alarm outputs for photocell, flasher, beacon and marker faults
  • A general alarm output that fires on any kind of failure
  • Status outputs showing lights on/off and beacon on/off
  • LED indicators for each alarm and status output
  • Opto-isolated outputs that protect external site monitoring equipment
  • Easy installation inside the transmitter building, even when the lighting controls are located at the tower
  • Complete lighting compliance coverage: alarms for single light failure (marker and beacon), beacon flash rate or on/off ratio outside FAA specs, and photocell failure
  • Failsafe alarm design: outputs stay normally closed when no alarm is present, and a power loss creates an open-circuit alarm condition
  • Built from off-the-shelf components, with every IC socketed for simple servicing

The TLM-2 keeps an eye on each part of your tower lighting system, so a failed marker, beacon or photocell shows up as a clear alarm rather than a surprise inspection finding. Because its outputs are opto-isolated and failsafe, it works alongside your existing site monitoring gear without putting it at risk.
