A wind cone is used to visually indicate wind direction at airports and heliports. Point Lighting wind cones are installed at airports, hospitals, corporate headquarters and military bases around the world.
Point recommends the PWC-8061 L-1 -ON-FF-D-L-G-T-SM for roof top heliport installations. This wind cone is easily serviced from a step ladder or unbolted to lower. The PWC-8071L-2-ON-HBA-A-D-L-MT provides the same windsock and lighting on a rigid hinged base pole with a vibration damper.
Option -C has both internal and external floodlighting.
See "DataSheet" and Specifications" for more details.

 

NB: ROOF MOUNTED WIND CONES
For increased safety, POINT LIGHTING CORPORATION recommends the use of the low height 806 type wind cone with option -G, rigid machined coupling to reduce frangibility, and option -T, stainless steel tether. Any roof mounted equipment will be a hazard to persons below if it is struck or otherwise comes apart due to high wind, excessive snow accumulation, etc.
We recommend option —SM (see page 2) for all roof sites and it can be a useful method for ground concrete pads as well.
For offshore and all corrosive sites, add option —MT Marine Treatment.

 

FAA CERTIFIED PAINT PROCESS SPECIFICATION
The wind cone pole assembly shall be brush painted with a water based stainless steel pigmented primer rated for 30 years life in corrosive atmospheres. The finish coat applied shall be a water based gloss acrylic paint in aviation orange color according to Federal Standard 595 color #12197.

 

FAA CERTIFIED WINDSOCK SPECIFICATION
The aviation orange nylon triple sewn windsock shall be reinforced at key points including the end of the basket to resist wear from abrasion and it shall be fitted with two or more brass grommets to prevent water accumulation in the sock. The windsock shall mount on a rigid aluminum frame basket for the first several feet to enhance visibility. The sock shall attach to the basket securely by means of stainless steel twist-lock marine grade hardware.
