EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS: An approved Anti-Collision light assembly should
be located so that their light will not impair the crews vision or detract from the
conspicuity of the position lights. The light should be mounted on a thermally
conductive surface. The baseplate must be mounted parallel to the vertical and
horizontal centerlines of the aircraft to project the patterns properly.
Certain types of aircraft may require additional testing.
CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS: The 71080 series LED anti-collision light
assembly is designed with 8 vertical columns consisting of 4 LEDs each.
Should any one LED fail, the unit must be repaired or replaced. Note: To
reduce eye strain use an optical filter such as dark glasses or a blue covering
dome during LED inspection.
Inspect the lens and replace if there is excessive scratching, pitting,
discoloration or cracking.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES: The following information is to assist in the
installation of a Whelen LED Anti-collision Light System.
1.
Using the mounting detail information provided, prepare the aircraft for
means to secure the LED Light assembly.
2. Carefully remove the lens retainer and lens from the assembly.
CAUTION! Do not touch the LED lens surface with either fingers or sharp
objects. This could soil and/or damage the lens and effect the optical
performance of the LEDs.
3. Connect the light inputs according to the chart shown. Connect the power
lead to an appropriately sized breaker. Connections to be in accordance
with FAA approved methods.
4. Secure the adaptor plate to the aircraft using vibration resistant threaded
fasteners. Flat head, #8 screws are recommended.
5. Install the light assembly and insure that all leads are clear of any
obstructions. Secure leads as required.
CAUTION: Do not over-torque
screws (item 6) when reinstalling the light assembly onto the adapter
plate.
6. Reinstall the lens and confirm proper gasket fit.
7. Install lens retainer. Using appropriate hardware, secure as required.
8. Check all avionics systems for interference from this installation.
9. A flight check should be performed by a properly certified pilot.
10. Update aircraft records, complete Form 337 and obtain FAA field approval
for installation.
