OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Operational Voltage: . . . . . . . . . . . 14 VDC nominal
Average Input Current:. . . . . . . . . 0.90 Amps
Pulse Input Current: . . . . . . . . . . . 4.0 Amps @ .3 Seconds
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. Using the “suggested mounting hole pattern” prepare the aircraft
for means to secure the LED anti-collision light assembly. Remove
any existing mounting adapters.
2. 14 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.
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. Note: Drill a 1/8” hole in
the center of the lens for mottom mount units.
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.
