Xsight recommends using self healing rings (a daisy chain is also acceptable, although less reliable). The advantage of a self healing ring is that while in normal use, traffic is dispatched in the direction of the shortest path towards the server, in the event of the loss of a link, or of an entire station, the two nearest surviving stations "loop back" their ends of the ring. In this way, traffic can still travel to all surviving parts of the ring, even if it has to travel "the long way round". Alternative options include splitting the power and network into two rings each with independent power sources. The SDUs are alternately connected to each of the two power sources so that if one power source completely fails, the runway will continue being monitored by the SDUs that are powered by the working power source (with a distance of 120/100 meters between SDUs instead of 60/50 meters). Another possibility is to create two separate rings, one on each side of the runway, so that no cable duct crossing the runway is necessary (See Figure 7 below).

When the SDU is communicating again, for example after a maintenance action, the switch will re-build the spanning tree. The communication cable used to connect the SDUs on the runway to the communication switch is generally fiber optic due to the long distance. Depending on the distance, either Single-Mode (SM) Fiber or Multi-Mode (MM) fiber will be used. Between the SDUs, MM is normally used, while the SDU connector is Huber Suhner ODC4 outdoor connector.

The field patch panel collects the data from the runway units and transfers it to the ACC. It includes active equipment such as switches and transmission equipment, and passive equipment such as splice boxes. Street cabinets are used for hosting the field networking equipment and patch panels. Figure 9: Field patch panel

Parameters including number of inspections per second number of images stored in memory, shutter speed and zoom are preset by Xsight. The camera can also be manually operated by operators, using the SOC.

As light diminishes below a certain level, the camera automatically switches to night mode to make use of near infrared (IR) light to deliver high-quality, black and white images. Near-infrared light, which spans from 700 nanometers (nm) up to about 1000 nm, is not visible to the human eye but it can be sensed by the camera’s sensor. During the day, a day and night camera uses an IR-cut filter, that filters out IR light so that it does not distort the colors of images as the human eye sees them. When the camera is in night (black and white) mode, the IR-cut filter is removed, allowing the camera’s light sensitivity to reach down to 0.001 lux (measure of light intensity) or lower. 5.1.1 Specifications SDU – Optical Component Imager Color / Monochrome CCD Horizontal FOV 2.6° (maximum zoom) Synchronizing System Internal Minimal Illumination 0.05 lux - 0.7 lux S/N Ratio 50 dB NIR Beam Square Beam 8°- 12° NIR Beam Power 2 W NIR Beam Wavelength 808nm NIR Laser Safety Class 4 5.1.2 NIR Illuminator An NIR illuminator within the camera housing that provides near-infrared light is used in conjunction with the camera to further enhance the camera’s ability to produce high-quality video in lowlight or nighttime conditions. This illuminator can be activated manually by an operator using the system operator console (SOC).

Through frequency modulation, the systematic variation of the transmitted frequency, it becomes possible to use a FMCW radar system to measure a target’s range. By measuring the frequency difference of the transmission and reception return signals, the range can be estimated.

Then, it burns this software into the various SDU elements, such as PDU, Frame grabber, MCU etc. If there is a power failure during this burn, at certain points of time, these units might fail. Therefore, during installation period, when the power is not stable and might fail, the ACC should be configured to "installation mode" in which the "USYS server" (the ACC service that updates the SDUs with the latest software packages) is turned off.

See “Power Supply” in the “Power Requirements” chapter for power supply specifications. Figure 18: Power supply To install the power supply: 1. Connect a grounding cable to its place on the power supply panel, and tighten the screw. 2. Connect the grounding cable to a grounding fastener on the inside of the canister. 3. Connect the power supply input connector to the CCR series line connectors, and locate it on the bottom of the canister. If using a power supply without an embedded transformer, connect the power supply (P/N – XT1050000027) to a standard 200Watt transformer that is connected to the CCR series. See “Power Supply” in the “Power Requirements” chapter for further information.

Connect the power supply output cable to the lower unit input power connector. The unit supplies 12VDC power to the SDU system (up to 5.5A). Apply the yellow insulation tape to connection points to achieve a weatherproof and airtight seal. Make sure to completely connect the cable to the power connector, leaving absolutely no gap, to prevent the power supply from overheating and burning out. If the lower unit is not installed as part of the power supply installation, place a cap on the secondary connector and secure it with insulation tape. 5. When applying CCR power, the "Input" LED on the power supply panel will be lit if the input power is valid. See the power supply panel in the following image: Figure 19: Power supply panel
