OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Nominal Voltage: . . . . . . . . . . . .28 VDC
Operational Voltages: . . . . . . . .24 - 30 VDC
Input Current:. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .0.30 Amps
EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS: The approved tail position
light assembly should be mounted vertically and as far aft
on the aircraft as possible, on a thermally conductive
surface
CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS: The LED tail position
light assembly is designed with 6 LED’s. If any one LED
fails, the unit must be repaired or replaced.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES: The following
information is to assist you in installing a Whelen tail
position light.
1. Choose the appropriate model light assembly which
is most applicable to your aircraft.
2. Remove the old light, locate and save the existing
+28VDC lead and (-) ground lead. Clean and prep
ends as required.
3. Use the existing mounting holes and hardware.
Note: If a special adaptor plate is required, contact
Whelen Aviation Division for requirements.
4. Connect the existing +28 VDC lead to the white 20
AWG lead on the input cable assembly (supplied with
light assembly). Connect the existing ground lead to
the black or white/blue 20 AWG wire on the input
cable assembly. If a chassis ground wire exists on the
aircraft, connect it to the chassis ground wire
assembly. Both leads must be connected by FAA
approved techniques using approved hardware.
5. Make sure the existing system is equipped with an
appropriate sized breaker.
6. Remove two #4-40 screws from tail light assembly.

7. Install the light assembly and insure that all the leads are clear
of any obstructions and ty-wrap as required. Secure light
assembly using approved vibration resistant hardware methods.
Note “Top” marking on the unit.
8. Re-mount the lens onto the assembly. Attach lens with
mounting screws (provided). NOTE: These screws feature a
nylon thread locking patch.
9. Check all avionics systems for interference from this installation.
10. When waterproofing the assembly to the aircraft, apply aviationapproved single part silicone (RTV) or equivalent around the
periphery with caution. Do not fill the drain holes at bottom of
unit. RTV should never be used between the rear surface of
the light assembly and its mounting surface.
11. Update aircraft records, complete Form 337 and obtain FAA
field approval for installation.
