The Model 7105501 LED anti-collision light assembly meets the requirements
of FAR 91.205(c)(3).
EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS: An approved anti-collision light assembly should
be located so that their light will not impair the crew’s vision or detract from the
conspicuity of the position lights. 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 7105501 LED anti-collision light
assembly is designed with 6 vertical columns consisting of 3 LEDs each.
Should any one LED or any vertical column 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, 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 light assembly.

Carefully remove the #4 Phillips screw and lens retainer. Remove the
lens. CAUTION! Do not touch the LEDs with either fingers or sharp
objects. This could soil and/or damage the LED and effect the optical
performance of the LEDs. Remove the 4 Phillips head screws securing
the adapter plate to the light assembly. Remove the adapter.

Using the appropriate hardware, install the adapter plate to the aircraft.

Route the wires through the opening in the adapter plate. 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.

Reinstall the light assembly onto the adapter plate and insure that all
leads are clear of any obstructions and secured as required.

Install gasket, lens and lens retainer. Confirm proper gasket fit. Reinsert
screws and tighten firmly.

All inverted (bottom) mounted units shall require waterproofing of the
base assembly to the aircraft. NOTE: Drill a 1/8” hole in the center of the
lens for bottom mount units.

Check all avionics systems for interference from this installation.

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 as necessary.
