ITS/ETL certified UL SERIES UNLIGHTED SIGNS are manufactured in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular No. 150/5345-44. Constructed in 4 foot and 6 foot lengths, single and double faced, UL Series Unlighted Signs accommodate numerous legend requirements. Signs can be mounted on a cement pad or with stakes.

CONSTRUCTION: Sign panels are made of .080 inch aluminum sheeting covered by a high intensity retroreflective material and secured to a frame made of 1.5 inch X 1.5 inch aluminum angle (.1875 inch thickness). Frames are mounted to support columns constructed of 2-inch schedule 40 aluminum tubing which are joined to frangible couplings with 2-inch female connectors. Couplings are then screwed into either stake mounts or floor flanges.

FRANGIBLITY: Per FAA specifications, UL signs are available in two “modes” of frangibility. To meet the minimum strength requirements, signs must withstand a certain wind load produced by jet blast. At the same time, signs must break over at a given applied static load.
 
Wind Load Minimum
Break Over Load
Mode 1
100 mph (161 km/h)
0.9 PSI (6.21 kPa)
Mode 2
200 mph (322 km/h)
1.3 PSI (9.96 kPa)

PACKING & SHIPPING: As many as four signs are packed in a heavy weight corrugated carton (75 inch x 50 inch x 8 inch). The signs are shipped complete with couplings and floor flanges attached.

INSTALLATION: In accordance with FAA AC 150/5340-18 on signs systems, signs should be mounted at the following distances from the “defined taxiway/runway edge”:
  • Size 1 (small) 10 – 20 feet (3 - 6 meters)
  • Size 2 (medium) 20 – 35 feet (6 -10.5 meters)
  • Size 3 (large) 35 – 60 feet (10.5 - 18 meters)
We recommend that signs be mounted at or beyond the maximum distances at airports where there is jet aircraft traffic. Airports with wide-body jet operations should use only Size 3 (large) signs mounted 60 or more feet from the pavement edge.

WARRANTY: Standard Signs Inc warrants that all UL Series Unlighted Signs are manufactured and will perform in accordance with FAA AC 150/5345-44. Any defect in design, materials, or workmanship which may appear during proper and normal use for a period of one (1) year from installation date or a maximum of three (3) years from shipment date will be corrected by repair or replacement by Standard Signs Inc, FOB factory, Cleveland OH.
