AIRPORT SIGNS

Accepted and field proven by pilots, airport managers, state aeronautical agencies and the military, the AR-100 Distance Marker and AR-100 Half Way Marker have set a new standard in visual marking for runways.


Description

As proven in study after study by the National Traffic Safety Council and other agencies, the highly reflective white-on-green lettering used by Valley Illuminators is far and away the most readable in virtually all weather and environmental conditions. Valley Illuminators specializes in Guidance and other informational Airport signs. Manufactured to meet or exceed FAA and NASAO specifications. These rugged devices are only a fraction of the cost of a less effective lighted marker. Our distance markers are constructed of corrosion-resistant aluminum panels and rugged fiberglass posts, and are covered with 3M reflective sheeting.

The 1/2 Way Marker, a Valley Illuminators original, is designed for placement at the 1/2 way point on an airstrip as a critical visual cue to pilots. Locking and adjustment pins allow for easy leveling. Anchor pins at the base are built into the system. An installation template is included to simplify leveling and plumbing the base pipes.


Installation

Cement base pipe in position with anchor pins. Position top of base pipe approximately 2" above ground level.

  • After concrete has set, insert side posts and attach sign
  • Level sign, adjusting height of side posts in base pipe as required.
  • Drill a 1/4" hole through the side posts using the pre-drilled holes in the base pipe as guides.
  • Attach the sign with bolts provided.

Notes

3M reflective sheeting materials do not fade, but depending on local conditions they may require cleaning from time to time. Do not use abrasives or chemical cleaners, just water and a mild detergent. Valley llluminators' distance markers are protected by U.S. Patent Number 4879965.
