The Model 71080 series 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 the 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 71080 series LED anti-collision light
assembly is designed with 8 vertical columns consisting of 4 red LEDs each.
Should any one LED or any vertical column fail, the unit must be repaired or
replaced. Inspect the lens and replace if there is excessive scratching,
discoloration or cracking. 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 in the
installation of a Whelen LED anti-collision 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. Using the “suggested mounting hole pattern” prepare the aircraft for
means to secure the LED anti-collision light assembly. Remove any
existing mounting adapters.
3. 28 VDC (+) and (-) ground leads equipped with an appropriate sized
breaker to be supplied to the LED anti-collision light assembly system.
Both leads must be connected by an approved FAA connection. Insure
that the wire leads are clear of any obstructions and ty-wrap as
required. 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.
4. Install the light assembly by securing to the aircraft using appropriate,
approved hardware. Refer to page 2.
5. All inverted (bottom) mounted units shall require waterproofing of the
flasher base assembly to the aircraft.
6. Check all avionics systems for interference from this installation.
7. A flight check should be performed by a properly certified pilot.
8. Update aircraft records, complete Form 337 and obtain FAA field
approval for installation, as required.
