EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS:
An approved forward position and anti-collision system consists of at
least two lightheads, one mounted on each wingtip mounted behind a
clear lens, and each connected to a model 71234( ) Flasher.
Certain types of installations may require additional testing.
CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS:
The wingtip anti-collision light is designed with 24 LEDs. The position
light is designed with 6 LEDs. If any one fails, 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.
Note: The anti-collision lights will automatically shut-off after 9-10
flashes if a failure is detected.
SHROUD REMOVAL PROCEDURE:
If justified by the Aircraft installation and additional FAA testing of
compliance to TSO-C30c and TSO-C96a the shroud may be
removed.
1. Remove and discard the two, #6 screws that are used to secure
the shroud. Carefully remove the shroud. CAUTION: Do not
touch the LED lens.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
The following information is to assist you in installing a Whelen anticollision light system.
1. The installation procedure described in the following text will be
confined to a single light installation, but is identical for multiple
light installations.
2. Connect the inputs according to the chart shown. Connections
to be in accordance with FAA approved methods.
3. Using appropriate, approved hardware, install light assembly
and insure that all leads are clear of any obstructions and ty-rap
as required. Secure light assembly, using vibration resistant
threaded fasteners.
4. Check all avionics systems for interference from this installation.
