About the LumiGuard
Designed with the customer in mind, the LumiGuard is more robust and easier to install than ever before. New features and options create the most versatile lighting system on the market today.
Lighting Protection
SURGE SUPPRESSION TESTS
Tested by multiple lightning test laboratories, the LumiGuard has a surge suppression rating of 25kA.
To put that into perspective a properly grounded tower should take approximately 55% of the lightning energy to ground through tower steel leaving 45% to be distributed among the rest of the cables on the tower. An average lightning strike is 28kA, with a 200kA strike happening less than 1% of the time. For a 200kA strike on a tower using an average of 4 cables on the tower, the flash head cable would receive 22.5kA. With the 25kA surge rating, the LumiGuard is built to withstand the most intense lightning strikes.
Data Connectivity
Monitoring Variety
The LumiGuard provides many options for monitoring, whether it is performed by your NOC or by Awaken. Connectivity options include cellular for both AT&T and Verizon with supplied monitoring devices as well as an Ethernet port. The LumiGuard also features Modbus and SNMP open protocols to support 3rd party monitoring. With the variety of connectivity options and monitoring protocols the LumiGuard can truly be customized to suit most monitoring needs.

New features and options
Night Vision Goggles (NVG)
Now with LumiGuard, there is an Infrared (IR) option for better visibility to night vision goggles (NVG) and NVIS. Our FTS 370 NVG compatible design combines Red (620nm) and IR (850nm) LEDs to ensure visibility to pilots in all circumstances.
Radar
Now standard on the LumiGuard is the ability to interface with a radar system through DC relay or Modbus. Radar systems are being increasingly used to control the lighting of towers only when aircraft are approaching.
DC Power
The LumiGuard is now available with either a +24 or +48 VDC input option that will allow flexibility for off-grid installations.
Power Consumption
• 130w—White Day
• 20w—Red Night
• 55w—White Night Backup
• 6.8w—Per Marker
