1. PosiStrobe CP™
The PosiStrobe CP is a new generation rudder white position a nd strobe light.
It fits almost all the standard rudder mounts of aircraft and also features an
optional aluminum adapter mount plate pictured in the installation page. An
extremely lightweight, aerodynamic and low-profile design makes this the light
of choice for any certified aircraft requiring rear coverage light due to wingtip
light coverage zone limits. The PosiStrobe series is the most imitated and
copied light by our competitors, but there is ONLY one PosiStrobe, don't be
fooled by competitive "clones", we were the first and we are the only ones with
our exclusive circuitry, advanced optics and reflectors and candela
performance.
The PosiStrobe CP™ is also encapsulated in the exclusive AveoDiamidium™
formulation, and is virtually unbreakable. With our exclusive aircraft lifetime
warranty there is no risk to the owner that he w ill ever need to buy another
again. Our policy is simple; IF IT FAILS WE REPLACE IT!
Main Features:
- 2-in-1 Position & Strobe light ideal for tail, rudder or rear facing mounts
- Optics designed for FAA/ICAO/EASA requirements
- 9-36 volt input range
- No external power supply or strobe unit, an Aveo world first
- Light synchronization feature
- Minimum drag profile
- Unbreakable Diamidium™ encapsulation
- Exclusive Lifetime Warranty
- Unmatched circuit technology
- Advanced computer and goniophotometer engineered optics
List of the major components (by part number) that make up the equipment
complying with the standards prescribed in ETSO.

™ should only be powered by 9-36 Vdc, typically a 12 or 24 volt PosiStrobe CP
aircraft battery.
This article meets the minimum performance and quality control standards required
by the technical standard order ETSO C30c and ETSO C96a. Installation of this
article requires separate approval.
Deviations
This article deviates from the ETSO C30c and ETSO C96a by the usage of newer
revisions of the following standards:
• SAE AS 8017 rev. B used instead SAE AS 8017 rev. A
• SAE AS 8037 rev. A used instead SAE AS 8037 initial release
9. TESTING OF THE LIGHT BEFORE INSTALLATION
All Aveo Aviation lights undergo rigorous testing prior to being released from our
engineering manufacturing department. This testing involves a burn-in time as
well as other function testing. No light is released for sale without undergoing this
extensive operational testing.
When you receive the light, and wish to test the function of the light Ultra Galactica
prior to installation on your aircraft, please note the following:
Please review the written information that is enclosed in the packaging. Warranty
information as well as a cautionary note about power supply removal is enclosed
with each package.
1. Remove the lights from the package. Note that there are four (4) wires
coming from each light. These wires are:
a. Black wire Ground wire (negative lead)
b. Red wire Position/Navigation light function wire (positive lead)
c. Yellow wire Strobe light function wire (positive lead)
d. Blue wire used if the synchronization of the Aveo lights is
2. Testing of the function of each light can be done with a regular 12V/5A dc
power supply (not a battery charger). Connect the black wire to the
ground (negative) leads of a power supply, then connect the red wire to
the positive (+) leads on the power supply. The position light should light
up. While the red wire is still in contact with the positive side of the power
supply, connect the yellow wire to the positive lead. Both the position and
the st
strobe function is separate from the nav function and can be tested
separately. To test the strobe function separately, just connect the yellow
wire only to the positive terminal of the power supply while the black wire is

robe function should work. For the Galactica Series of lights, the
selected
Installation Manual
connected the ground side of the power supply. Connecting the blue wires
from each light together (and not to the ground or positive terminals on the
battery) should show that the lights are flashing together and indicates the
synchronization feature is working properly. When installed on the aircraft,
using the aircraft’s power (14 or 28 volts), the lights will be at their
maximum intensity.
After testing, the light can be installed on the aircraft.
PosiStrobe CP
IMPORTANT
NOTES:
1. Under no circumstances should any power supply other than a 9-32V dc, or a
12/24 volt battery be used to test the lights. Do not use: Battery chargers,
battery back-up power devices, or other bench avionics testing methods to
test the aviation lights. The lights are functional between 9 and 32 volts. Use
of a battery charger or other power unit to test the lights will void the warranty
and may damage the lights.
2. All power supplies for existing strobe lights, flasher beacons, etc. are required
to be removed from the aircraft prior to the installation of the Aveo light.
If you have any questions about the installation of the lights, please refer to our
web site: www.aveoengineering.com, and check FAQ and other links on our aviation
lights web page.
10. CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR AVEO ENGINEERING
AVIATION LIGHTS
When you receive your Aveo Engineering Aviation Lights, they will have
been factory polished and ready to install on the aircraft. Upon installation, just
give the lights a good coat or two of a quality automotive polish. This should
protect the lights from dirt and other environmental factors. Once or twice a
month, just refresh the polish and hand buff to bring back the lights to factory like
new condition.
If the lights need a deeper cleaning, they can be polished with a good
automotive cleaner wax and/or a liquid polishing compound. The liquid
polishing compounds can normally be found at automotive parts stores or an
automotive paint store. After using a polishing compound, just give the
lights another coat of an automotive polish and you will again protect the
lights against dirt, etc. An electric buffing machine, with a lamb’s w
can also be used for deeper cleaning and polishing. Under no circumstances
should any petroleum based product be used to clean the lights.
For continued UV protection Aveo Engineering offers Nonocloak

Spray and Cleaner, available at any Aveo Engineering Authorized installation
Center.

11. NOTES ON INSTALLATION
Please use tapered headed screws for installation. Spread the tightening forces evenly
around the mounting hole. Screw size is a M3, stainless steel recommended. Length depends
upon placement location on aircraft tail/rudder.
12. CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS INFORMATION
This product is delivered with EASA Form1 which is for the operator to report any
occurrences to Aveo E n gineering as the E TSO holder. The form contains the Aveo
Engineering telephone number and the occurrence e-mail address
(occurrence@aveoengineering.com
the ETSO holder must report occurrences having a potential for an unsafe condition
within 72 hours.
a. Circuit/Wiring
Protection
Each Galactica series light features a Negative Temperature Coefficient
(NTC) circuit that limits internal temperatures by attenuating operating
current (with a corresponding reduction of brightness) when internal
temperatures reach a certain threshold. This proprietary circuitry serves to
protect the light itself, and associated aircraft wiring, against a thermal
runaway condition. It's recommended that the operation of strobes without
airflow be limited to av
designed to more than triple the life of the LEDs and electronic components
thereby providing an even great margin of safety for continued
airworthiness due to the dramatic enhancement of electronics reliability.
b. Periodic Inspection Procedure for Galactica
The PosiStrobe CP™ light should always be checked for proper operation
during preflight. This procedural information is already provided in all
general aviation aircraft flight manuals.
The lights should be visually inspected for general condition, proper
operation, and correct installation at each annual and/or 100 hour
inspection. Any debris or atmospheric deposits accumulated on the surface
of the lights should be removed using a UV Wax such as Farecia Profile
UV Wax to ensure ongoing optical clarity. In addition refer to section 10 of
installation manual for detailed cleaning instructions.
Turn the lights on and do the following:
1. Put on polarized sunglasses or welder goggles to prevent eye damage
when looking into the lights.
2. Examine the individual LEDs as per the diagram below. If any of the
conditions as indicated on the diagram are exceeded, the light shall be
