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 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.
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.
3. 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.
4. Install the light assembly and insure that all leads are clear of any
obstructions and secured as required.
5. Install gasket, lens and lens retainer. Confirm proper gasket fit.
Reinsert screws and tighten firmly.
6. 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.
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 as required.
