14.1.1.1        Electrical Characteristics of Airfield Signs

Each circuit shall be designed to handle all combinations of VA loading and power factor or the Consultant shall ensure that sign electrical characteristics, not covered by FAA Specifications, are included in the contract specifications, as appropriate. This is to help alleviate the substantial variances in volt-amp loading and power factor, from manufacturer to manufacturer as well as manufacturers who produce both high and low VA loading versions of the same sign.

All vehicle entrances to and exits from baggage make-up areas shall have a sign installed to caution drivers of possible low overhead clearances inside the baggage make-up area per the standard detail on the following pages. Exits are included in order to account for all driver situations. Signs are to be mounted centered above doors whenever possible. When signs cannot be mounted above, signs are to be mounted to the left or right of the door with the top of the sign aligned with the top of the doorway, or as determined by the Consultant.
