EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS:

An approved forward position lighting system consists of three lights,
one located on the tail and one located on each wingtip. Model
OR650( )E is a wingtip position and anti-collision light.The assembly
should be mounted as far outboard on the aircraft as practical. The
baseplate must be mounted parallel to the vertical and horizontal
centerlines of the aircraft to project the patterns properly. This
assembly must be mounted behind a clear lens.

Certain types of installations may require additional testing.

CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS:

The forward position light is designed with green or red LEDs. The
anti-collision light is designed with 24 white LEDs. If any one LED 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.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:

The following information is to assist you in installing a Whelen light
system.

1. Choose the appropriate light assembly.

2. Using the mounting detail information provided, prepare the
aircraft for means to secure the light assembly.

3. Carefully remove the #4 phillips head screw (qty. 4). Remove the
light assembly from the baseplate. CAUTION! Do not touch the

LED with either fingers or sharp objects. This could soil and/
or damage the lens and affect the optical performance of the

Aviation

LEDs.

4. Using the appropriate hardware install the baseplate to the
aircraft.

5. Route the wires through the opening in the baseplate. Connect
the light inputs according to the chart shown. Connect the power
lead to an appropriately sized breaker. Connections to be
according to FAA approved methods.
Note: SYNC is a low-power, bi-directional control signal.
Connecting to the synchronize signal of any Whelen LED anti­collision assembly to another Whelen anti-collision assembly will
cause the lights to flash at the same time. If Synchronization is
not necessary, the connection may be left open.

6. Re-install the light assembly on to the baseplate and insure that
all leads are clear of any obstructions and secured as required.

7. Check all avionics systems for interference from this installation.

8. A flight check should be performed by a properly certified pilot.

9. Update aircraft records, complete Form 337 and obtain FAA field
approval for installation, if required.
