EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS:
An approved position lighting system consists of three lights, one located
the tail and one on each wingtip. Model OR500( ) is a tail position and
anti-collision light. The assembly should be mounted as far aft on the
aircraft as practicable 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 installations may require additional testing.

CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS:
The tail position light is designed with 4 LEDs. The anti-collision light is
designed with 18 LEDs. If any one LED fails, the unit must be repaired or
replaced.

Inspect the lens, replace if there is excessive scratching, pitting,
discoloration or cracking.

Note: To reduce eye strain, use an optical filter such as dark glasses or a
blue covering dome during LED inspection.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:
The following information is to assist you in installing a Whelen light
system.

Choose the appropriate light assembly.

Using the mounting detail information provided, prepare the
aircraft for means to secure the light assembly.

Connect the light inputs according to the chart shown. Connect
the power lead to an appropriate sized breaker. Connections to
be in accordance with FAA approved methods. Note: SYNC is a
low-power, bi-directional control signal. Connecting to the
synchronize signal of any Whelen LED anti-collision assembly to
another Whelen anti-collision assembly will cause the lights to
flash at the same time. If Synchronization is not necessary, the
connection may be left open.

Proper installed orientation is achieved with the drain hole down.
Note: The arrow on the label must point up. Install the light
assembly on to the aircraft. Insure that all leads are clear of any
obstructions and secured as required.

When necessary, waterproof the light base to aircraft. Apply
single-part Silicone (RTV) or equivalent around any open area
where water could get in. Do not cover the drain hole or the back
of the unit.

Check all avionics systems for interference from this installation.

A flight check should be performed by a properly certified pilot.

Update aircraft records, complete Form 337 and obtain FAA field
approval for installation, if required.
