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.
3. 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. Do not over-torque screws
(item 4) when reinstalling the light assembly onto the adapter plate.
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. 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.
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.
