APPLICATIONS
DIAM4000 series CCRs are low-cost fully static devices controlled by two
thyristors. They are designed to maintain a constant, pre-displayed and
adjustable output current independently of load or power supply
fluctuations. These devices are specifically designed for airfield lighting on
runways, taxiways or aprons. They meet all international standards.
Electronics, using the latest digital technology, can be controlled and
monitored by the mean of the most popular serial networks with or without
redundancy, as well as the most simple universal multiwire interface.

ADVANTAGES
Flexibility of operation :
The large semigraphic alphanumeric display combined with a menu type
keyboard allows the CCR to be configured without connecting a computer.
Regulation is fully digital, which enables parameters to be simply adapted
in case of particular load or special application. Auto-calibration eliminates
the use of tedious setting, in case of long-time scheduled maintenance.
Emergency and warning messages are clearly displayed, as the current
state of the CCR or all input or output electrical measurements.
Maintenance optimisation :
These regulators show a very simplified architecture both for electronics,
LV part and HV power unit : It has been optimised to keep the number and
variety of spare parts to a minimum, in order to facilitate maintenance.
Software tools allow a fast fault diagnosis and test, without dismantling.
Purchase and life-cycle costs :
DIAM4000 series constant current regulators represents the best
compromise on the market between high performances, maintenance
services and the most reduced cost, thanks to an optimised design and a
NT 60 21052 DIAM4000 16-03-2009 latest state-of-the-art digital electronic technology.
 DIAM4000 : Technical characteristics
GENERAL PRESENTATION
Each DIAM4000 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 last 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 includes all components involved in supplying and
controlling the device, as interface boards, fuses, terminals, thyristors. It is located at rear
in the upper part, and can be acceded dismantling the roof or the back panel.

The High voltage compartment is located at the lower part of the device, and
includes components connected to the lighting loop, as the power transformer, lightning
arrestors, load tapping and load terminals. It can be acceded opening the front panel of
the CCR. A door contact switch-off the CCR when opening the compartment, in order to
avoid contact hazard with high voltage electrical parts.
