Personnel Hazard Warning

Dangerous Voltages

Dangerous line voltages reside in certain locations in this equipment. Also, this equipment

may generate dangerous voltages. Although FTCA has incorporated every practical safety

precaution, exercise extreme caution at all times when you expose circuits and components,

and when you operate, maintain, or service this equipment.

Avoid Touching Live Circuits

Avoid touching any component or any part of the circuitry while the equipment is operating.

Do not change components or make adjustments inside the equipment with power on.

Dangerous Voltages Can Persist with Power Disconnected

Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages can be present because capacitors can retain

charges even after the power has been disconnected.

Protect yourself — always turn off the input (primary) power and wait for one minute for

storage capacitors to drain their charge. Then, check between the red and blue wires on the

flashhead terminal block with a voltmeter for any residual charge before touching any circuit

element or component.

Do Not Depend on Interlocks

Never depend on interlocks alone to remove unsafe voltages. Always check circuits with a

voltmeter. Under no circumstances remove or alter any safety interlock switch.

FTB 324-2 Revision 8 – 2-12-2010 1

Section 1 – Introduction

and Operation

System

Each single FTB 324-2 System consists of

an FH 324-3 Flashhead, a PC 324-2 Power

Converter, a PEC 510 Photocell, and a

connecting cable from the power converter

to the flashhead.

The power converter supplies the

controlling circuitry to convert main AC

power to the required voltages for internal

operation and the discharge energy for the

flashhead. It also controls the flash rate.

The photocell senses changes in lighting

conditions from day to night and from

night to day thus signaling the power

converter to change its operation

appropriately. Also, a manual intensity

switch can override the photocell if

required.

NOTE

The Flashhead supplied with an FTB

324-2 System is an FH 324-3. If an older

flashhead is used, please call Flash

Technology for upgrades. See Table 4-3

for Retrofit Kits and Safety Support Tool.

Operation

The PC 324 Power Converter operates an

FH 324. It monitors flashhead operation

and signals an alarm if a failure occurs.

The flashhead begins to operate as soon as

power is applied. A photocell controls

intensity for the system.

In daylight, lights flash white at a rate of

40 flashes per minute (FPM) at an

intensity of 20,000 candelas. At night the

light flashes red at a rate of 20 FPM at an

intensity of 2,000 candelas.

Obstructions over 350 feet above ground

level require several interconnected PC

324 power converters (typically three)

operating the corresponding number of

flashheads. A master/slave control line

(two-wire) at terminals TB1-4 and TB1-5

at the front panel interconnects the units.

A sync pulse on the line flashes all the

lights in unison and at the same rate.

Note:

1. The “E” option shown above denotes the addition of the optional modem card for remote

diagnostics and monitoring.

2. The 324-2LT operates in the same manner as the 342-2 but several common features are

not available.

•The relay outputs are limited to Red Alarm, White Alarm and Marker Alarm.

Photocell failure is also monitored and will trigger either the Red or White Alarm

depending on mode.

•Eagle monitoring is not available. This includes the RS-232 used for Tech Eagle, the

RS-485 used to interface to the FTM-5000 or FTW-172, and the modem expansion

port.

•To upgrade the system to provide the additional relay contacts or to take advantage of

Eagle diagnostics, please contact Flash Technology to purchase a 2903800 timing and

trigger board.

Note: 324LT systems do not have intensity error or mode contacts.

Photocell

The photocell changes resistance as ambient light changes from day to night or from night to

day. The Timing and Trigger Board (PCB1) in the master power converter then converts the

changes into the necessary circuit operation to flash the lights at the appropriate intensity for

day or night operation.
