The Model 71410 series LED anti-collision light assembly meets the
requirements of FAR 91.205(c)(3).
CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS: The 71410 series LED anti-collision
light assembly is designed with 8 vertical columns consisting of 3 white
LEDs each. Should any one LED or any vertical column fail, 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. Inspect the lens and replace if there is excessive scratching,
discoloration or cracking.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES: The following information is to assist
in the installation of a Whelen LED Flashing 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 Flashing 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 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.
4. Install the light assembly by first removing the lens. Remove the
adapter plate. Attach the adapter plate to the aircraft mounting
holes. Refer to page 2. Reinstall the light assembly and 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.
5. 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 bottom mount units.
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 necessary.
