The Model 7105500 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 7105500 LED anti-collision light assembly
is designed with 4 vertical columns consisting of 3 LEDs and 2 vertical columns of
2 LEDs. 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.

2. 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.

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

4. 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.

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

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

7. 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.

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 as necessary.

The conditions and tests required for TSO approval of this article are minimum
performance standards. It is the responsibility of those installing this article either on
or within a specific type or class of aircraft to determine that the aircraft installation
conditions are within the TSO standards. TSO articles must have separate approval
for installation in aircraft. The article may be installed only if performed under 14 CFR
part 43 or the applicable airworthiness requirements.
