System Overview
The RELIANCE® Elite Airport Lighting Control and Monitoring System (ALCMS) provides state-of-the-art programmable
intelligence for control and monitoring of airfield lighting circuits to meet FAA Airport Lighting Control and Monitoring
System L-890XY. The ALCMS can automatically control and monitor stop bars or runway guard lights as part of a Surface
Movement Guidance and Control System (SMGCS). In addition, the system can control and monitor Land and Hold Short
systems (LAHSO) and can be customized to interface with Constant Current Regulators (CCRs), generators, approach lighting,
or other devices requiring remote control and/or monitoring. The system can also be used in remote deicing stations and
remote air terminal applications. RELIANCE Elite is unmatched in performance, long-term reliability, and flexibility with many
standard features and a wide range of innovative, cost-effective options.
Features
•Real-time status of the airfield lighting system
•Distributed control and monitoring PC-based design
•Realistic airfield graphic displays provide detailed information to air traffic controllers and maintenance personnel
•Touchscreen Creations™ software, developed specifically for airfield lighting applications, provides a powerful and flexible
means for airport personnel to make modifications to the lighting system after initial installation
•Time-saving diagnostics and monitoring from remote locations
•Redundant network configurations are available using any combination of Ethernet, fiber optics, hard-wire, and wireless
•Easily integrated into existing airport Ethernet networks
Open-architecture design offers easy integration of the latest technology. (Examples: LAHSO, in-pavement and elevated
Runway Guard Light systems, Stop Bars, etc.)
Applications
RELIANCE Elite ALCMS offers a modular design that gives airports the flexibility to easily expand their system as their
requirements change and as new FAA regulations require additional capabilities. The open architecture of the ALCMS allows
the system to be integrated with any of the latest advanced technologies in airport systems.
Such systems include:
•RELIANCE® Intelligent Lighting systems (power-line carrier technology) - Offer individual lamp control/monitoring, sign
monitoring, stop bar, in-pavement or elevated runway guard light control/monitoring, and taxiway routing.
•Surface Movement Surveillance Systems - Provide an integrated workstation that allows lighting control, aircraft tracking,
aircraft tagging, and ground movement conflict detection (i.e. runway incursion detection).
•Deicing Stations - Advanced routing control and lamps-out monitoring of aircraft deicing station lights.
•Approach Systems - Advanced control and monitoring of the approach system steady burning lights and the strobe
system.
•Remote Air Terminals - Using ADB SAFEGATE's surface guidance system, remote air terminal personnel can control and
monitor taxi lanes/apron areas between the main airport surface movement area and a remotely-owned/operated air
terminal.
•Land and Hold Short Systems - Indicate the location of hold-short points on runways approved for land and hold short
operations.

Advanced Control Equipment (ACE™)
RELIANCE Elite design uses the Advanced Control Equipment (ACE) unit to provide distributed control rather than a
centralized system of discrete I/O modules. This dramatically simplifies computer system wiring to the airport's CCRs. With the
ACE system, all control and monitoring signals are transferred through a pair of redundant high-speed data buses, eliminating
the hundreds of discrete wire connections found in traditional installations. The use of quick disconnects and standard 18-20
gauge shielded, twisted-pair cabling for the data buses greatly simplifies installation and maintenance. An unlimited number
of CCRs can be accommodated by simply adding additional data buses as required. Data bus redundancy ensures continuous
operation in the event one of the buses fails.
The ACE module consists of an integrated control unit that is interfaced to each CCR either internally or within a small
external enclosure. Optional packages can be added depending on system requirements. The ACE module features very quick
control response, unparalleled monitoring performance (current/voltage is sampled 50.000 times/sec), and built-in
programmable fail-safe modes. Configuration and calibration of the ACE system is performed directly through the ALCMS
user interface, eliminating the need for dedicated programming devices or laptop computers. For stand-alone ACE
applications, configuration is easily performed using buttons on the front of the ACE display. See ADB SAFEGATE data sheet
3097 for additional information on this product.
Control
•Programmable preset lighting controls automate common procedures
•Touchscreen - Single or multiple touchscreen control stations can be integrated within the ALCMS with built-in transfer
procedures
•Provisions for air-to-ground radio control of the airport lighting
•Soft-start control feature provides programmable delays between intensity step switching
•Programmable smart fail-safe provides mechanically latching or preset fail-safe design to meet the airport requirements
•Maintenance lock-out feature allows circuit maintenance, graphical maintenance indication and circuit control protection
Monitoring
•Real-time monitoring functions
•Capable of monitoring constant current regulators, circuit selectors and any non-regulated circuit
•Custom monitoring options provide the flexibility to configure for full L-827 monitoring or simple current sensing relay
monitoring
•ADB SAFEGATE's optional AirSide® Remote Management System (A-RMS) provides secure remote access to the ALCMS
via the airport's secure network. Access is provided via a high-speed VPN connection device and software that allows ADB
SAFEGATE service engineers and/or airport personnel to monitor and service an airport's ALCMS from a remote location.
For more information about ADB SAFEGATE’s A-RMS, see data sheet 3079
Alarm Reporting
•Extensive searching and reporting capabilities
•Alarming capabilities to meet the requirements of each airport
•Alarming tolerances are configurable to adjust sensitivity
•Alarm and event filtering provides the flexibility to control messages to the airport traffic control tower and maintenance

•Search filters can sort based on date, range of dates, circuit, regulator, reported location and type of alarm
•Report hard-copy printing and exporting to electronic file

ALCMS - X X
Touchscreen
Multiple Touchscreen Control Stations (TCS) can be integrated within an ALCMS. Each TCS may share control of an airfield or
have a specific area of control. Each TCS operates independently of one another and provides complete redundancy for
airfield lighting control and monitoring.
Features
•High-definition airfield graphic representation
•High-contrast, anti-glare monitors
•LCD flat screen displays
•Intuitive user interface provides ‘pop-up’ buttons that lead the air traffic controllers through lighting control tasks
•Highly flexible preset or selective airfield lighting control
•Programmable event and alarm filters reduce information overload for air traffic controllers
•Easily integrated with SMGCS operation requirements (i.e. stop bar control/monitoring and taxiway routing)
Maintenance Center
The Maintenance Center provides the airport with convenient ALCMS status monitoring from any remote location, on or off
the airfield.
