Supports up to 200mA and 18VDC per output channel

This simulator provides a single repeating burst, increasing and decreasing in intensity to accurately represent beacons like those seen on many airplanes and helicopters. The standard version N8032 will support red or yellow LEDs. The N8032A version of this module is configured specifically for white or blue LEDs..

This simulator replicates the older-style signal and hazard warning flashers that used incandescent (filament) lamps to generate light. Typical flash rate of 3/4 second with a increasing and decreasing brightness curve to duplicate that of filament type lamps. Three outputs will each drive up to one pair (wired in  series) of red and/or yellow LEDs Outputs flash sequentially so the module could also drive a very short series of "chase" lights.

These modules reproduce a highly realistic simulation of rotating beacons by sequencing LEDs (sold separately) that are positioned to produce the effect. See the More Info table to the right for complete information. The N8042 is for a red or yellow 3-LED assembly. The timing of the rotational effect closely replicates that of rotating beacons seen on various aircraft including helicopters. The N8042A is the white-LED version. The N8042C is for a  red or yellow 4-LED assembly that simulates the "gumball" type of rotating beacon.

This simulator will support strobe effects for a wide range of aircraft. The strobe pulse is a short 70ms burst occurring either once per second on all three outputs simultaneously, or when the simulator input is grounded, on two outputs together and one output separately, alternating at one-half second intervals .  See Examples of use in the More Info table to the right for complete information.

Do you need a special lighting effect that that no one produces or have a unique prototype requirement? We may be able to help. The N8050 will support 1 LED output, the N8051, 2 LED outputs, and the N8052 will support 3 LED outputs. For an additional programming charge (quoted separately), we will program the appropriate simulator to create your effect. Just email or call us with your requirements. We will review them, determine if they are within the capabilities of our simulator, and if so, respond with our quotation. Delivery can be within 2 weeks and our quote will be reasonable.

This simulator generates a rapid stream of pulses alternating between 2 connected LEDs whenever the input pin is grounded. The timing and duration of these pulses mimics the appearance of automatic weapons fire like that seen in WW2 and modern era wing and belly guns on planes and attack helicopters. The N8060A version of this module is configured for 4 LEDs (2 series pairs) alternating between pairs to simulate 4 guns firing.

6-LED Chase Light Simulator

This simulator will sequence 6 white LEDs in two different ways. With the input control pin left unconnected, LEDs will light in succession (1 through 6) then repeat over and over. This will simulate airport runway chase lights used for traffic landing assistance. With input control grounded (-DC), LEDs will sequence in an up and down fashion (1,2,3,4,5,6,5,4,3,2,1) and repeat over and over. The N8049A version is for red and/or yellow LEDs.

Furnace / Forge / Sawdust Burner Simulator

This module generates a slow, random undulating brightness output for either a single LED, or 2 series-wired LEDs. It closely replicates the exhaust glow of a jet engine being throttled up and down. The use of 2 LEDs gives double the light output. When strategically placed, it can create a reflective effect that can add significant realism to various aircraft. If used with our Nano LEDs, even the smallest scale model can benefit form the effect.

This simulator generates a stream of pulses for a single LED whenever the input pin is grounded. The timing and duration of these pulses mimics the appearance of machine gun fire for early (slower rate) guns that were used on World War 1 aircraft.

These modules generate various different effects to simulate aircraft navigation and running lights including strobes and beacons. Details of each Simulator's effects and instructions for connection are covered  in the More info table to the right. Just click on each item Details for information.
