Helicopter hoist status light (Helihoist)
Green light for safe helicopter operations at offshore wind farms
The Helicopter hoist status light from Quantec Signals GmbH is a green indicator light designed to assist helicopter operations at offshore wind turbines.It serves as a guide for pilots to lower technicians and maintenance personnel onto the platform for maintenance work in the nacelle area.
The system significantly contributes to safety during maintenance and service operations by providing clear signals regarding the turbine’s status.
Clear status indicator for maximum safety
The Helicopter hoist status light signals indicate the status of the nacelle and rotor blades.The system provides a clear visual status display and supports safe lowering operations in poor visibility and strong winds.
The combination of a distinct color and clear signal ensures easy recognition from the air.
Robust technology for offshore use
The system is specifically designed for use in marine environments. Corrosion-resistant materials, durable seals, and a sealed construction ensure long-term reliability even under constant exposure to salt water, humidity, and UV radiation.
The maintenance-free design reduces the need for service and increases system availability—a key advantage for offshore installations that are difficult to access.
Features and system integration
The Helicopter hoist status light has integrated brightness sensors for automatic day and night operation and adjusts its light intensity according to environment conditions. Three operating modes for status signaling allow flexible configuration and can be integrated into existing control systems.
An integrated logbook for recording on/off time stamps, events and statistic thereby supporting maintainability and service planning. Additionally, an integrated overvoltage protection ensures the system is protected in accordance with current standards.
