DIAM 4100

Product catalog summary

Overview: The DIAM4100 is a single-phase constant current regulator (CCR) designed for airfield lighting on runways, taxiways, or aprons. It maintains a constant output current despite load or power supply fluctuations and complies with international standards such as ICAO, IEC, FAA, and AENA.

Technical Specifications:

Supply Voltage: Single-phase 208 to 480 Vac ±10% (IEC) or –5/+10% (FAA).
Frequency: 50/60Hz ±7.5%.
Output Current: 6.6 A (20 A on request).
Output Power: 1 kVA to 30 kVA.
Efficiency: > 90% at rated parameters.
Protection: IP 21, with options for lightning arrestors and circuit breakers.

Design and Features:

Composed of three compartments: electronic, low voltage, and high voltage.
Equipped with a DSP processor and CAN bus for enhanced control and communication.
Front USB connector for parameter setting without live voltage.
Natural air cooling and designed for temperatures from -20°C to +55°C.

User Interface:

Flat polyester keypad with a 16 x 140 pixel display.
Displays installation state, warnings, and parameters.
USB front socket for laptop connection.

Configuration and Monitoring:

Configuration menu for setting basic parameters like input voltage and power.
Option menu for defining parameter access and optional features.
Setting menu for assigning current values and delays to brightness levels.
Load adaptation through adjustable taps on the output transformer.

Ordering Information: The DIAM4100 is identified by a serial code indicating its type and options, such as compliance type (IEC, FAA, AENA), class, style, frequency, output power, supply voltage, control interface, communication network, and additional options like protection and monitoring features.

Compliance and Certification: The product complies with various international standards and is ISO 9001 certified since 1995.

DIAM 4100 : Technical Characteristics GENERAL PRESENTATION Each DIAM4100 is delivered into a metal frame with lifting rings. It includes 3 distinct parts: an "electronic" compartment, a “Low voltage” compartment and a "high voltage" compartment. The Electronic part includes an electronic board whose design uses the lastest digital technologies; it is fixed at the front panel of the device. This front sheet supports the user interface delivering any useful information, and allowing all local or distant operations. Internal parts are accessible from the front or the top. The Low voltage compartment...
