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 Flashing Anti-collision Light System.
1. Using the “suggested mounting hole pattern” prepare the aircraft
for means to secure the LED Flashing Anti-collision Light
assembly. Remove any existing mounting adapters.
2. 28 VDC (+) and (-) ground leads equipped with an appropriate
sized breaker to be supplied to the LED Flashing 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.
3. Install the light assembly by securing to the aircraft using
appropriate, approved hardware. Refer to page 2.
4. All inverted (bottom) mounted units shall require waterproofing of
the flasher base assembly to the aircraft.
5. Check all avionics systems for interference from this installation.
6. A flight check should be performed by a properly certified pilot.
7. Update aircraft records, complete Form 337 and obtain FAA field
approval for installation, as required.
