- CCR manufacturer, model number, regulator serial number
- Existing card number, part number printed on the card, revision or version
- Photographs of the existing card
- Connector or terminal details
- Existing CCR control configuration, available documentation
Why
CCR systems use different control, monitoring, interface and power modules by manufacturer, model and generation. This information reduces the risk of supplying a physically similar but electrically incompatible replacement.
Replacement Electronic Modules
Match the Original System Configuration
Role
Cards may perform control, monitoring, interface or other functions depending on equipment architecture.
Principle
Select to match the original configuration rather than by physical appearance alone. Verify electrical interface, connector arrangement, control signals, ratings and configuration requirements before installation.
Compatibility Verification
Spares Are Generally Equipment-Specific
May Consider
- CCR make and model, regulator rating
- Card position or function, existing part number
- Electrical interface, connector configuration
- Control architecture, monitoring arrangement
- Firmware or configuration requirements, hardware revision
- Physical mounting arrangement
Damaged Cards
Where the original card is damaged, photographs and nameplate information can help establish the correct replacement.
Firmware & Configuration Requirements
Identify Before Replacement
Confirm Whether Replacement Requires
- Specific firmware revision
- Existing configuration transfer, parameter programming
- Calibration, factory configuration
- Communication-interface settings
- Post-installation functional verification
Principle
Treat any firmware or configuration requirement as part of the replacement selection process.
Electrical Safety
Isolation and Lock-Out Before Any Card Change
WARNING — never open a live series circuit. A constant-current regulator can drive dangerously high voltage into an open series circuit. Isolate the regulator before touching any card, terminal or output connection.
- De-energise the regulator and apply the site lock-out / tag-out procedure before opening the cabinet
- Check that input and output are isolated and safe before touching conductors or cards
- Where the series circuit must be isolated or shorted, use the series circuit cut-out switch or an approved device, not an improvised bypass
- Work under the airport permit-to-work system, with qualified personnel and the manufacturer instructions
- Discharge stored energy in capacitors per the manufacturer procedure before handling power cards
CCR Maintenance & Fault Diagnosis
Follow Established Safety Procedures
Possible Fault Origins
- Electronic control system, power section
- Monitoring circuitry, external control interface
- Associated airfield lighting circuit
Principle
Follow the airport's troubleshooting and electrical safety procedures. Before changing a card, confirm the reported fault and identify the module from regulator documentation and diagnostics.
Spare Parts Stocking
Reduce Downtime When a Module Fails
Inventory Can Be Organized By
- CCR manufacturer, model, card type
- Part number, card revision
- Quantity installed, quantity held in stores
- Equipment location, criticality of the lighting circuit
Benefit
Airports with critical runway and taxiway lighting may hold identified spares for installed models, helping teams quickly identify available modules during corrective maintenance.
Refurbishment & Lifecycle Support
Older Regulators Remaining Serviceable
Use
Where a regulator remains serviceable but individual modules are unreliable or hard to source, replacement cards and spares support continued lifecycle management.
Principle
Assess the regulator as a complete system. Card replacement may need coordination with control, monitoring, power and interface components.
Installation Considerations
Verify Before Installation
IsolateIsolate the CCR per site safety procedures
MatchModel, card function, number and revision
InterfaceConnector and interface compatibility
FirmwareFirmware or configuration information available
InspectReplacement module free from visible damage

Inspection & Maintenance
When Servicing CCR Electronic Modules
Consider
- Condition of connectors and terminals
- Evidence of overheating, moisture or contamination
- Loose connections, damaged components
- Card guides and mounting arrangements
- Alarm or diagnostic indications, regulator output performance
- Communication or control-interface operation, previous replacement records
Repeated Failures
Investigate repeated card failures rather than treating them solely as a spare-parts issue; an underlying electrical, environmental or system-level fault may be present.
Environmental & Storage Considerations
Handle Electronic Assemblies Carefully
Protect From
- Moisture, contamination
- Electrostatic discharge, mechanical damage
Stock Records
Keep spares identified and packaged until needed. Records should distinguish card revisions or regulator models where interchangeability is unconfirmed. Follow manufacturer storage and handling requirements.
Documentation & Identification
Document Each Replacement Against the CCR
Useful Records
- CCR make and model, regulator serial number
- Original and replacement card number, card revision
- Date of replacement, reason, associated fault or alarm

FAQ
CCR Card & Spares Kit — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CCR Card & Spares Kit?
It is a supply of replacement cards and spare components for airfield Constant Current Regulators, selected by CCR manufacturer, model, card identification, electrical interface and equipment configuration. It supports troubleshooting, repair, refurbishment and lifecycle management of existing regulators.
What information is needed to identify the correct CCR card?
Provide the CCR manufacturer, model number and regulator serial number, the existing card number or the part number printed on the card, its revision or version, photographs of the card, connector or terminal details and any available documentation. CCR systems use different control, monitoring, interface and power modules by manufacturer, model and generation, so this reduces the risk of supplying a physically similar but electrically incompatible replacement.
Can I choose a replacement card by how it looks?
No. Select to match the original configuration rather than by physical appearance alone, and verify the electrical interface, connector arrangement, control signals, ratings and configuration requirements before installation. Spares are generally equipment-specific.
Do replacement cards need firmware or configuration work?
They can. Confirm whether the replacement needs a specific firmware revision, configuration transfer or parameter programming, calibration or factory configuration, communication-interface settings and post-installation functional verification, and treat these as part of the selection process.
What should be confirmed against the installed CCR before selecting a card?
Confirm the output current, kW rating, class and style, and whether the regulator operates in 3-step or 5-step mode, together with the card function, existing part number, connector configuration, control architecture, monitoring arrangement and hardware revision.
What safety precautions apply before changing a CCR card?
Never open a live series circuit, because a constant-current regulator can drive dangerously high voltage into an open series circuit. De-energise the regulator and apply lock-out / tag-out before opening the cabinet, check that input and output are isolated, use the series circuit cut-out switch or an approved device rather than an improvised bypass, work under the permit-to-work system and discharge stored energy in capacitors per the manufacturer procedure before handling power cards. See the electrical safety warning on this page.
What should be checked after a card is replaced?
Confirm the model, card function, number and revision match, check connector and interface compatibility, inspect the replacement for visible damage, install it per the manufacturer procedure with secure connections, and carry out functional checks following the airport maintenance procedure.
What if the same card fails repeatedly?
Investigate repeated card failures rather than treating them solely as a spare-parts issue, because an underlying electrical, environmental or system-level fault may be present. Check connectors and terminals, overheating, moisture or contamination, loose connections and regulator output performance.
How should CCR spares be stored and recorded?
Protect electronic spares from moisture, contamination, electrostatic discharge and mechanical damage, keep them identified and packaged until needed, and record card revisions or regulator models where interchangeability is unconfirmed. Useful replacement records include the CCR make and model, serial number, original and replacement card numbers, date, reason, associated fault and test results.
Is card replacement suitable for older regulators?
Where a regulator remains serviceable but individual modules are unreliable or hard to source, replacement cards and spares support continued lifecycle management. Assess the regulator as a complete system, since a card change may need coordination with control, monitoring, power and interface components.
Which standards and references apply?
References include FAA AC 150/5345-10H (constant current regulators and regulator monitors), IEC 61822, ICAO Annex 14 Volume I, Doc 9157 Part 5, Doc 9137 Part 9 and FAA AC 150/5340-26C (maintenance of airport visual aid facilities), together with the regulator manufacturer documentation and the airport maintenance procedure.
