Estech Aviation Obstruction Lighting Systems
Estech designs and produces a variety of solar powered LED aviation obstruction warning lanterns. Bolted onto our patent pending high strength magnetic base, our aviation lights can be quickly installed to most steel surfaces like water tower roofs.
Estech is happy to assist you in discovering the level of FAA lighting system required for your tower site and paired with the optimal Estech product.
It takes a minimal amount of time to install an Estech aviation light with the entire, autonomous system fitting into a small patent pending magnetic footprint. Completely self-contained and self-operating, the integrated LED diode provides brilliant red light across an efficient vertical angle and 360 degree dispersion. Integrated within the lantern housing is the rechargeable battery system, control panel and multiple photovoltaic solar panels. Enclosures with IPX ratings stand the test of time and wet weather.
Our lighting systems have been through hurricane conditions and performed with success. With some of our lights having been installed almost a decade ago, we see excellent overall performance and battery capacity. Batteries beyond our warranty terms are replaceable, with a fee, if the model number is provided to Estech.
When your water tower needs a new aviation light or is damaged by environmental factors, it is economical to avoid grid base power and switch to integrated solar energy to power an array of obstruction lights.
Please review individual specification sheets, observe manufacturer recommendations and FAA requirements.
FLEX Technology
Patent-pending FLEX™ technology allows Estech’s Talon brackets to conform to a range of convex, concave and flat surfaces without measurements. The magnetic pads are able to pivot to the tangency of the surface profile automatically during installation, supported by stainless steel “tendons,” which allow the entire bracket body to be monolithically constructed, mitigating passive intermodulation (PIM) emissions. These magnetic brackets are a must-have for telecom installations on water towers and monopoles and avail themselves to be a stocked commodity that can be instantly available to accommodate a range of steel surface curvature and bend-angle fastening situations.
This complaint mechanism technology brings out the capability of lamina emergence and the strength of neodymium magnets.
HOVERBOLT™ Technology
Estech’s range of medium and large magnetic strength brackets now feature patent-pending Hoverbolt™ setting and removal technology. As Estech’s magnetic systems grew in size and strength, a new way of controlling the installation, positioning, and removal was needed. The HOVERBOLT™ technology features a series of nylon contact bolts as a scratch-resistant stand-off gap, temporarily reducing the magnetic force to the surface until the installer is ready for final placement. HOVERBOLTs™ are also used to lift and release the magnetic systems with control. Placement, adjustment, and removal are now commanded and controlled with a ½” socket wrench even on the record-setting 70,000 lb magnetic force corral systems.
Communications
Whether you are attaching cables, conduits, or antennae, Estech has a variety of magnetic products to satisfy your installation needs.
The Talon waveguide bracket and FLEX technology are engineered and patented to address angles and curvatures commonly found on elevated steel towers and monopoles. These are placed along a cable run a minimum of 5 feet and provide the fastest installation method the industry has ever seen.
The Sidewall, HaloMAG, and TripodMAX magnetic systems provide a comprehensive means to attach a spectrum of antennae and radios to a steel surface.
