STC SA21NE

Whelen’s Anti-Collision Strobe Light Systems are approved under STC

SA615EA, STC SA800EA, STC SA6NE, and STC SA21NE, manufactured under

PMA as an approved anti-collision light for all aircraft, when installation is accomplished in accordance with the following instructions.

Whelen’s Anti-Collision Strobe Light Systems are designed and approved specifically for General Aviation Aircraft, to comply to FAR 91.205(c) (3) (visual flight rule night) requirements.

Whelen’s approved Anti-Collision Strobe Light Systems can be installed on all aircraft by completing the installation with reference to this Installation and

Service Manual, and the appropriate technical data listed below:

ADVISORY CIRCULAR 43.13-1A, Chapter 11, Sections 1, 2, 3 and 7,

Electrical Systems.

ADVISORY CIRCULAR 43.13-2A, Chapter 4, Anti-Collision Light Installations.

ADVISORY CIRCULAR 20.21, 12-3-64, Application of Glass Fiber

Laminates in Aircraft.

ANTI-COLLISION AND POSITION LIGHT REQUIREMENTS,

LOCATIONS, & DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS

All aircraft must have an approved anti-collision light and position light system for nighttime operations. The position lights consist of an Aviation Red on the left side, an Aviation Green on the right, and an Aviation White taillight (REF. FAR

23.1389).

The anti-collision lighting system is required under FAR PART 91.205(c)(3).

There are different requirements affecting different aircraft. These aircraft are categorized by the date of application for type certificate. Home built aircraft are determined by the date of issuance of the Experimental Operating Limitations.

The different categories are as follows:

Aircraft for which type certificate was applied for after April 1, 1957 to

August 10, 1971:

These anti-collision systems must produce a minimum of 100 effective candela in Aviation Red or White (REF. FAR 23.1397), 360º around the aircraft’s vertical axis, 30º above and below the horizontal plane (REF. FAR 23.1401).

Aircraft for which type certificate was applied for after August 11, 1971 to

July 18, 1977:

LOCATIONS ON THE AIRCRAFT FOR

ANTI-COLLISION STROBE LIGHTS, TO COMPLY

TO THE LIGHT PATTERN REQUIREMENTS.

VERTICAL FIN

One anti-collision strobe light mounted on the vertical fin will meet the minimum requirements on most aircraft. A half red and half white lens is recommended.

WINGTIP

Two wingtip strobe lights that protrude beyond the wingtip, their light converging in front and back of the aircraft within

1200 ft. is an approved anticollision strobe light system.

GENERAL AVIATION MINIMUM POSITION LIGHTING

REQUIREMENTS

For compliance to FAR Part 23.1385 through 23.1397, VFR flight rule night requirements on a General Aviation aircraft, you must have a TSO'd Aviation Red forward position light on the left and an Aviation Green forward position light on the right. See Figure 7, page 4.

These are normally mounted on the most outward extremity of the airframe so they can project their light directly in front of the aircraft 0 degree to 110 degrees left and right horizontally, and 180 degrees up and down vertically, unobstructed by any part of the aircraft.

The tail position light must project its Aviation White light toward the rear of the aircraft, 70 degrees horizontally left and right from 0 degree straight back behind the aircraft, 180 degrees up and down, 0.04 Steradian (131.36 sq. degrees) interference is allowable, reference FAR Part 23.1387(c). More than one light is acceptable.

ENCLOSED WINGTIP

Enclosed wingtip anti-collision strobe lights, require a third strobe light on the tail or vertical fin, to fill in the required light envelope. This is an approved anti-collision system.

FUSELAGE

In a fuselage mounted anticollision strobe light system, a minimum of two strobe lights are necessary to get the required vertical coverage.

This is an approved anti-collision system.

ANTI-COLLISION LIGHT INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

STC SA800EA / STC SA615EA / STC SA21NE

The following information is to assist in the installation of a custom

Whelen anti-collision strobe light system on any aircraft, and how to return the aircraft back to service with compliance to FAR Part

91.205(c) (3).

1. Choose the anti-collision light system which is most applicable to

2. With reference to the STC’s “Limitation and Conditions” for field of

coverage requirements. Check the field of coverage of the pro-

ESTABLISHING SOLID ANGLE BLOCKAGE WITH REFERENCE TO AC

43.13-2A, CHAPTER 4.

1. To determine the vertical angles to use with reference to Figure 7

and 8 of the aforementioned chapter 4, attach a long string to the

subject light source location.

2. Fix a navigational-type plotter or protractor to the string with

weighted thread fixed to the center of the scale for a plumb bob.

3. Level the aircraft or determine the offset angle.

4. Pull the string over the point of solid angle blockage (Ref. Fig. 6

page 4). Any angles greater than +/– 75 degrees vertical are not a factor.

5. Apply the vertical and horizontal angles to the graph paper (Ref.

Fig. 4.8 and instructions in text of paragraph b6 & c of Chapter 4).

A flight test will be performed by properly certified pilot with reference to paragraph 52(a) (b) of Chapter 4.

3. These STC’s document that Whelen’s anti-collision strobe lights

meet the requirements as specified in AC 43.13-2A, Chapter 4,

PAR.51 (a and b) (1). STC SA615EA covers replacement of original

equipment, STC SA800EA and STC SA21NE cover installation of

new anti-collision light systems.

4. Vertical fin mounted anti-collision strobe beacons will conform to

the FAR 23.1401, 0.5 steradian (1642 sq. degrees) maximum solid

angle blockage requirements on most standard configurations

(CAM 3 and FAR Part 23) high or low wing type aircraft. An aver-

age solid angle blockage for an installation of this type is 1324 sq.

degrees.

5. Fuselage mounted anti-collision light systems require two (2) anti-

collision strobe beacons to get the +/– 75 degrees required. Two

lights mounted in this manner exceed the steradian requirements

of 21,600 sq. degrees total coverage.

6. Fuselage mounted anti-collision lights should be located on the

fuselage center line to reduce reflection on the wings as much as

possible. They should be mounted near the trailing edge of the

wing, to reduce cockpit reflection.

COMPLETING THE ANTI-COLLISION LIGHT INSTALLATION

1. Check all avionics systems for interference from this installation,

reference AC 43.13-2A, Chapter 4, Paragraph 52(b).

2. A flight check will be performed by a properly certificated pilot with

reference to AC 43.13-2A, Paragraph 52(a) and (b).

3. If a solid angle blockage document must be established, it should

be performed after all masking has been installed and all flight test-

ing is completed. See page 3 of this manual.

4. WATERPROOFING OF STROBE LIGHT INSTALLATIONS: When

necessary to waterproof the installation of a strobe light mounting

to the aircraft, apply GE (silicone rubber) RTV 102 (or equivalent)

around the open area where water could get in.

5. Label all switches and breakers, install Pilot Warning Placard.

6. Up-date aircraft records and complete form 337.

APPROVED METHOD OF DETERMINING ADEQUATE

COVERAGE OF WING AND TAIL STROBE LIGHT

INSTALLATIONS

The most practical system is the approved wingtip anti-collision strobe light system. These systems consist of two or more lights to complete the anti-collision light requirement. There is no question as to their complying to the field of coverage when the installation is completed

(Reference to the following instructions).

The acceptable distance for the two wingtip anti-collision strobe lights to converge in front and back of the aircraft on center line is 1200 feet.

If both wingtip anti-collision strobe lights can be seen at 1200 feet or less directly in front and back of the aircraft, it is considered a point of light source, therefore a third light is not necessary.

The wingtip anti-collision light must be located in such a way that it will project light +/– 75 degrees above and below the horizontal axis of the aircraft, and the summation of the 2 or 3 lights will project light 360 degrees around the vertical axis.

PILOT AND CREW INTERFERENCE: In some installations it will be necessary to mask the strobe lighthead assembly to reduce pilot annoyance. This interference problem varies from one aircraft to another of the same model, due to paint schemes and colors. The

Navigation Light Detector will be a source of reflection and should be reduced in size, or masked as necessary. A small aluminum or plastic plate mounted between the navigation light and the wingtip protruding up or down as required (like some plastic navigation light detectors, and trimmed to shadow the objectionable reflected area) is simple and very effective.

The solid angle blockage must be reviewed after installing any masking that will disturb the 360 degrees by +/– 75 degrees pattern. The aforementioned type masking used on wingtip lighting seldom interferes with this pattern.

STROBE SYSTEM WIRING

Interconnecting Cable

1. The Whelen interconnecting cable shall be secured in place with

approved aviation techniques.

2. The cable shall not parallel ADF, Gyro or Flux Gate compass

leads closer than 12 inches.

3. Reference should be made to AC 43.13-1B, Chapter 11, Sections

3 and 7, when routing and fishing the interconnecting cable.

4. Leave a service loop at the strobe lighthead end, to allow access

to the connector for flash tube replacement without having to dis-

assemble the aircraft.

5. CABLE COLORING CODE:

PIN 1 RED - (Anode)

PIN 2 BLACK - (Cathode, flash tube ground)

PIN 3 WHITE - (Trigger)

SHIELD - Ground at the power supply end only

Caution: When pins 1 and 2, or pins 2 and 3 are reversed, the system will appear to operate normally, however this condition will cause premature flash tube failure.

STROBE POWER SUPPLY INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:

Location

1. Consider areas or locations designated by the aircraft man-

ufacturer. Do not mount the strobe power supply closer than

three (3) feet of the ADF loop.

2. For alternate locations, consider areas such as the cabin

baggage compartment, the floor under the seat, nonstruc-

tural bulkheads, firewalls, etc.

3. If necessary, fabricate support brackets or shelves, and

attach them to the aircraft structure to provide a mounting

surface that will withstand the inertia forces stipulated in

chapters 1 & 3 of AC 43.13-2A.

4. An “IA” or other representative of the FAA must approve

documentation of structural integrity of the fabricated instal-

lation.

5. When installing the strobe light power supply in an inverted

position, drill a 3/16” diameter hole in the lowest corner of

the cover to provide for moisture drainage. Care must be

taken not to let the drill protrude into the power supply, for

it will inflict damage to the electronic components.

6. Specifically call out the location of the strobe light power

supply on FAA form 337.

Wiring

WARNING!!!

STROBE LIGHT POWER SUPPLIES ARE

POLARITY SENSITIVE. REVERSING THE INPUT

POLARITY WILL CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE

POWER SUPPLY!

Steps below: Ref. AC 43.13-1B, Chapter 11, Sections 1, 2, 3 & 7.

1. Choosing wire size of A+ input lead, refer to Paragraph 444

“Electric Wire Chart” Figure 11.7 & 11.7a, with reference to

“Strobe Light Model Current” requirement chart on page 6 &

11, and “Wire and Circuit Protection Chart” Figure 11.1.

2. Shielded wire is not generally necessary, but has proven

effective in reducing the possibility of radio interference.

3. The power supply shall acquire its power from a low imped-

ance source such as the alternator or generator end of the

electrical buss as close to the battery as possible. Do not

ground power supply to airframe. This can attenuate emi/rfi

noise to airframe causing it to act as an antennae for inter-

ference in aircraft audio & electrical systems.

4. For penetrating pressure hull, refer to the aircraft service

manual.

5. Check all avionics systems for interference.

Important Note

Your new strobe power supply has an additional circuit built-in to prevent self-ionization (steady glowing) of the strobe tubes.

In some cases, when replacing older power supplies, the bare shield wire in the existing harness is pinned together at each end with the black wire. The following modification must be made to ensure proper operation.

1. At the strobe tube end of the cable, cut the shield wire and

tape it off (DO NOT CUT THE BLACK WIRE).

2. At the power supply end of the cable, cut the shield wire and

connect it to a good ground (DO NOT CUT THE BLACK

WIRE).

3. This must be done for each strobe light connection (See

Figure 6a).

EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS:

An approved position lighting system consists of three lights, one located the tail and one on each wingtip. Model OR500( ) is a tail position and anti-collision light. The assembly should be mounted as far aft on the aircraft as practicable on a thermally conductive surface.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 tail position light is designed with 4 LEDs. The anti-collision light is designed with 18 LEDs. If any one LED fails, the unit must be repaired or replaced.

Inspect the lens, replace if there is excessive scratching, pitting, discoloration or cracking.

Note: To reduce eye strain, use an optical filter such as dark glasses

or a blue covering dome during LED inspection.


The following information is to assist you in installing a Whelen light system.

1. Choose the appropriate light assembly.

2. Using the mounting detail information provided, prepare the

aircraft for means to secure the light assembly.

3. Connect the light inputs according to the chart shown. Connect

the power lead to an appropriate sized breaker. Connections to be

in accordance with FAA approved methods. Note: SYNC is a low-

power, bi-directional control signal. Connecting to the synchro-

nize signal of any Whelen LED anti-collision assembly to another

Whelen anti-collision assembly will cause the lights to flash at the

same time. If synchronization is not necessary, the connection

may be left open.

4. Proper installed orientation is achieved with the drain hole down.

Note: The arrow on the label must point up. Install the light

assembly on to the aircraft. Insure that all leads are clear of any

obstructions and secured as required.

5. When necessary, waterproof the light base to aircraft. Apply

single-part Silicone (RTV) or equivalent around any open area

where water could get in. Do not cover the drain hole or the back

of the unit.

Operation


An approved forward position lighting system consists of three lights, one located on the tail and one located on each wingtip. Model

OR650( ) is a wingtip forward position and anti-collision light.The assembly should be mounted as far outboard on the aircraft as practical. The baseplate must be mounted parallel to the vertical and horizontal centerlines of the aircraft to project the patterns properly.



The forward position light is designed with Green or Red LEDs. The anti-collision light is designed with 18 White LEDs. If any one LED fails, the unit must be repaired or replaced.

Inspect the lens, replace if there is excessive scratching, pitting, discoloration or cracking.

Note: To reduce eye strain, use an optical filter such as dark glasses

or a Blue covering dome during LED inspection.






3. Carefully remove the #4 phillips head screw and lens retainer.

Remove the lens from the light assembly by lifting the rear of the

lens approximately 1/2”. Now slide the lens rearward approxi-

mately 1/4” and lift upwards to remove. CAUTION! To avoid

potential damage, do not touch the LEDs with either fingers

or sharp objects. Remove the 3 Phillips head screws securing

the baseplate to the light assembly. Remove baseplate.

4. Using the appropriate hardware install the baseplate directly to


6. Re-install the light assembly on to the baseplate and

insure that all leads are clear of any obstructions and

secured as required. Note that proper orientation is

achieved with the drain hole down.

7. Install lens in the reverse order as removal and return

the lens retainer to its installed location. Note: Visually

confirm that the lens and retainer are fully and prop-

8. When necessary, seal the light to the aircraft. Apply

sealant around the perimeter of the base. Do not cover

the drain hole.

9. Check all avionics systems for interference from this

installation.

10. A flight check should be performed by a properly certi-

11. Update aircraft records, complete Form 337 and obtain

FAA field approval for installation, if required.

Operation


An approved forward position lighting system consists of three lights, one located on the tail and one located on each wingtip. Model

OR650( )E is a wingtip position and anti-collision light. The assembly should be mounted as far outboard on the aircraft as practical. The baseplate must be mounted parallel to the vertical and horizontal centerlines of the aircraft to project the patterns properly. This assembly must be mounted behind a Clear lens. Certain types of installations may require additional testing.


The forward position light is designed with Green or Red LEDs. The anti-collision light is designed with 24 white LEDs. If any one LED fails, 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.






3. Carefully remove the #4 phillips head screw (qty. 4). Remove the

light assembly from the baseplate. CAUTION! Do not touch the

LED with either fingers or sharp objects. This could soil and/ or

damage the lens and affect the optical performance of the LEDs.

aircraft.

5. Route the wires through the opening in the baseplate. Connect

the light inputs according to the chart shown. Connect the power

lead to an appropriately sized breaker. Connections to be accord-

ing to FAA approved methods.

Note: SYNC is a low-power, bi-directional control signal.

Connecting to the synchronize signal of any Whelen LED anticol-

lision assembly to another Whelen anti-collision assembly will

cause the lights to flash at the same time. If Synchronization is

not necessary, the connection may be left open.

6. Re-install the light assembly on to the baseplate and insure that

all leads are clear of any obstructions and secured as required.

7. Check all avionics systems for interference from this installation.


8. A flight check should be performed by a properly certi-

fied pilot.

9. Update aircraft records, complete Form 337 and obtain

FAA field approval for installation, if required.

Operation

Equipment Limitations: The Model 70900 series LED anti-collision

light assembly meets the requirements of FAR 23.1401, 25.1401 and

91.205(c)(3). “If certification for night operations is requested, the airplane must have an anti-collision light system that consists of one or more approved anti-collision lights located so that their light will not impair the flight crew members vision or detract from the conspicuity of the position lights.”

Continued Airworthiness: The 70900 series LED anti-collision light

assembly is designed with 10 vertical columns consisting of 3 LEDs each. Should any one LED or any vertical column fail, the unit must be repaired or replaced.

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

Dimensions

Figure 28a

2. Prepare the aircraft for means to secure the LED Flashing

Anti-Collision Light assembly (see reference AC 43.13-2A, Ch. 4).

3. 14 and 28 VDC (+) and (-) ground leads equipped with an appro-

priate sized breaker to be supplied to the LED Flashing Anti-Colli-

sion Light Assembly System. Both leads must be connected by

an approved FAA connection. Insure that the wire leads and the

pressure venting tube are all clear of any obstructions and ty-

wrap as required. The pressure venting tube may be trimmed to

minimum length of 1” from base.

4. Install the light assembly by securing to aircraft using #6-32 x

3/8” (maximum length) approved hardware. Note: Lens mount-

ing screws installed at 5-7 in./lbs. of torque.



7. All inverted (bottom) mounted units shall require waterproofing

of the unused mounting holes. An application of single-part sili-

cone (RTV) or equivalent applied into mounting holes is recom-

mended (see illustration on page 11, Fig.11A). Inverted and/or

standard mounted units, when necessary, may require water-

proofing around any open area where water could get in.

Specifically, the lens to the flasher base assembly, and the flash-

er base assembly to the aircraft.

8. Update aircraft records, complete Form 337 and obtain FAA field

approval for installation. If not covered under STC eligibility list.

Equipment Limitations: The Model 71055 Series LED anti-collision

light assembly meets or exceeds the requirements of FAR 23.1401, and FAR 91.205(c)(3).

Continued Airworthiness: The 71055 Series LED anti-collision light

assembly is designed with 6 vertical columns consisting of 2 or 3

LED’s each. Should any one LED or any vertical column fail, the unit must be repaired or replaced. Periodically inspect the lens and replace if there is excessive scratching, discoloration or cracking.

Installation Procedures: The Model 71055 is a self contained flash-

ing beacon that requires no external flasher or power supply. In some installations, it may be necessary to remove several existing components. When replacing flashing halogen beacon assemblies, the flasher box and ballast resistor (if present), and associated wiring, need to be removed. When replacing strobe light assemblies, the strobe power supply must be removed. In both cases, 18 gage DC voltage wires, A+ & Ground (-), must be continued from the location of the previous box, (flasher or power supply), to the location of the new LED beacon.

The following information is to assist in the installation of a Whelen

LED Flashing Anti-Collision Light System.


confined to a single light installation, but is identical for multiple light installations.

It is not necessary to change any of the existing wiring, or circuit breakers. The light assembly must be properly mounted to comply with FAR Part

91.205(c-2) & (c-3). When necessary (such as fuselage installation), the Whelen model A440 mounting adapter must be used.

Mounting

1. Remove the existing beacon.

2. Make the necessary wiring connections using the existing wiring. Positive

(+) to the WHITE wire, and Ground (-) to the BLACK wires protruding from

the light assembly. All connections must use FAA approved techniques.

Note: It is recommended to ground the unit to the buss bar or the battery. Using the airframe as ground may produce EMI/RFI interference.

3. Remove the three (3) 6-32 x 3/8” mounting screws from the light assembly.

Do not use longer screws, damage to the unit may occur.

4. Insert light assembly into mounting location and attach using screws as

mentioned in step 3. There are two sets of mounting screw locations on the

unit for installation versatility (unit may be sealed around periphery with

RTV or equivalent).

5. If the A440 mounting adapter is used, attach light assembly to adapter

using screws as mentioned in step 3 (unit may be sealed around periphery

with RTV or equivalent).

6. If light assembly is mounted in an inverted position, drill a 1/8” diameter hole

in lens as indicated on the lens label. For the model SACF series, remove the

RTV plug from the hole in the lens.

7. When installing the light assembly in a rudder mount location, rudder balance

must be checked with reference to the aircraft’s service manual. The weight

and balance should equal the original rotating beacon.

8. Check all avionics systems for interference from the installation with reference

to AC 43.13-2a, Chapter 4, paragraph 52 (b).

9. Label all switches and breakers, install pilot warning placard.

10. Update aircraft records, complete Form 337 and obtain FAA field approval for

Flash Tube Replacement

1. When a flash tube failure occurs, remove the #6 Phillips head screw on the

clamp ring. Be careful not to lose the #6 hex nut.

2. Remove the clamp ring.

3. Lift the lens assembly & gasket off the strobe tube.

4. Lift the strobe tube and carefully unplug the connector.

5. Replace with new strobe tube assembly.

6. Attach all parts required. See parts breakdown for replacement part numbers.

Installation

The A650 Series must be properly mounted to comply with FAR Part 91.205(c-

2) & (c-3). The light assembly must be mounted so that the light distribution pattern is not obstructed by any parts of the aircraft. A limited amount of obstruction is permitted (Ref. FAR Part 23.1401 for anti-collision lights, and

PAR 23.1387 for position lights).

The baseplate must be mounted parallel to the vertical and horizontal centerlines of the aircraft to project the patterns properly. These assemblies are interchangeable with the Grimes model A1285 position light.

Mounting

1. If necessary, fabricate the mounting pattern using dimensions found in

Figure 16b (Note: A 1” diameter hole is needed for the connector to pass through).

2. Make the necessary wiring connections using 18 gauge wire for the posi-

tion lights, and Whelen 16 gauge 3/c cable for the strobe lights. All connec-

tions must use FAA approved techniques.

3. Remove the (6-32 x .312) retainer mounting screw and retainer.

4. Attach the base assembly to the wingtip using (3) #6-32 counter-sunk

screws (unit may be sealed around periphery with RTV or equivalent).

5. Re-attach lens retainer.

Wiring

1. The strobe connector should plug into the Whelen 16 gauge inter-connect-

ing cable, or a Whelen strobe power supply.

Observe the following strobe color coding:

PIN 1 - RED (Anode)

PIN 2 - BLACK (Cathode)

PIN 3 - WHITE (Trigger)

Caution: When pins 1 & 2 or pins 2 & 3 are reversed, the system will appear to operate normally, however this condition will cause pre-mature flash tube failure.

2. Connect the forward position light wires as follows, using 18 gauge

approved aviation wire or cable:

RED - +14 or +28 volts (depending on aircraft voltage)

BLACK - ( - ) Ground

Before After/With Modified Wingtip

A650 Wingtip Strobe Light Installation on Later Model

Cessna Wingtips with Shortened Light Base

Because Cessna has modified the Type E Series Wingtip Navigation Light, by cutting off the back 1.3 inch, and designed their wingtip to fit in closer to the light, it will be necessary to do a little fiberglass work when completing this installation. The A650 can be installed on these Cessnas in the manner below, and instructions above.

1. Remove the wingtip and the navigation light assembly.

2. Take a complete Model W1285 navigation light with an A650 head assembly

installed, or an A650-PR or -PG, and place it in position on the wingtip. Mark

around the navigation light base plate to get an outline of the navigation light

profile on the wingtip.

3. File or trim away the excess wingtip material, to allow the navigation light

and the A650 strobe light assembly to fit neatly in place. Allow at least 0.060

inch clearance around the A650 strobe head assembly and the wingtip.

4. To fill in the hole in the wingtip made by this trimming, and to provide a

platform for the navigation and strobe light assembly, mount the naviga-

tional light base plate on the wingtip using the two (2) forward screws with

a sheet of polyvinyl between the wingtip and the base plate for a parting

agent. Tape the polyvinyl back over the wingtip to form a seal, so it is pos-

sible to apply a polyester resin putty, or epoxy putty like “Bondo”, on the

inside of the tip. Build up the trimmed area with this putty, as to have about

1/4 inch of material under and in back of the base plate. Prepare the surface

and the putty material in accordance with the putty manufacturer’s instruc-

tions, to assure a good bond to the wingtip.

5. Remove the navigation light base plate and parting agent.

6. To improve the appearance of this installation, fill the indentation on the

outside of the wingtip with the aforementioned putty, and file the excess

material to a clean profile before painting.

7. Drill the third mounting screw hole for the navigation light, and complete the

installation, reference the enclosed information.

INSTALLATION OF MODEL A612 with an A610 Flash Tube

A612 glass lens and A610 flash tube are used for installing wing tip strobes in single engine Cessna’s

1972 and later. The existing position light retainer is modified to accommodate the lens, and the flash tube is mounted directly behind. The unique magnifying design of the A612 lens increases the light intensity by two to three times in the horizontal plane. These items may be used for custom installations or as spare parts for existing light assemblies. The A612 lens is available in Aviation Red and an RFI coated version. Lenses meet material requirements of MIL-C-7989B Class B.

the object being to have the strobe light centered over the position light

4. Trim or fit an opening to the scribe line to fit the A612 lens. Due to the

uneven surface of the Cessna lens retainer, the A612 will contact only

the front and rear radius.

5. Place the sponge rubber pad supplied under the A610 flash tube to firm

A625 Strobe Light Assembly

The A625 strobe lighthead assembly fits into a 1.1 inch hole. The mounting screws are 1.75 inch center to center. It protrudes 1.7 inch outside the aircraft’s skin, and 1.1 inch inside the aircraft.

When installing an A625 strobe lighthead assembly on the rudder, refer to the aircraft’s MAINTENANCE and/or SERVICE MANUAL for accepted procedures for balancing the rudder before returning the aircraft to service.

Mount the anti-collision strobe lighthead assembly as close to the stabilizer center line as practical, to eliminate backscatter as much as possible for the horizontal surface.

When installing the A625 strobe lighthead assembly in an enclosed area like a

Beech enclosed wingtip or tail cone, maintain at least 0.060 inch clearance around the lens to the plastic cover. The A625 mounts conveniently just behind the forward position light on Cessna’s conical camber wingtip. Make sure that the navigation light pattern is not interrupted when installing the A625 strobe light head on a wingtip. The A612 lens is not considered an obstruction.

A625 INSTALLATION IN CESSNA 300 OR 400 SERIES WINGTIP TANKS. The

A625 fits just under the navigation light, on an adapter plate of 0.032 inch aluminum, approximately 2-3/8 inches x 3-1/2 inches. Fit this plate between the navigation light and its mounting surface, and locate the A625 strobe head below the navigation light.

Bend and trim the adapter plate as necessary, so that the A625 clears the transparent window that covers the navigation light area 0.060 inch minimum.

The conduit for the navigation light wire is very small. To get the necessary wires to operate the strobe light and the navigation light through this conduit, use a 20 gauge wire, with less that 0.060 inch OD. It has been found that the

Belden 8502 or 8308, has an 0.058 inch OD.

2. This unit fits directly in place of the Grimes Model S tail position light.

It is however sometimes necessary to open the mounting hole in the

aircraft fairing to 1.10 inch, to clear the body of the A500A. The body

protrudes 1.40 inch into the tail fairing.

3. Establish the proper light pattern of the A500A tail position light. The

retainer shield must be located so that the bottoms of the V notches are

vertical (parallel to the rudder) to shadow the light so it will produce a

horizontal light pattern of 70 degrees left & right of straight back of aircraft.

Equipment Limitations: The approved tail position light assembly

should be mounted vertically and as far aft on the aircraft as possible, on a thermally conductive surface.

Continued Airworthiness: The LED tail position light assembly is

designed with 6 LED’s. If any one LED fails, the unit must be repaired or replaced. Inspect the lens. Replace if there is excessive scratching, discoloration or cracking.

Installation Procedures: The following information is to assist you in

installing a Whelen tail position light.

1. Choose the appropriate model light assembly which is most

applicable to your aircraft.

2. Remove the old light, locate and save the existing +28VDC lead

and (-) ground lead (7101102 & 7101103). Clean and prep ends required.

3. Use the existing mounting holes and hardware.

4. For Model 7101101, secure the existing connector onto the base

of the light assembly. For Models 7101102 & 7101103, connect

the existing +28 VDC lead to the White 20 AWG lead on the input

cable assembly (supplied with light assembly). Connect the exist-

ing ground lead to the Black 20 AWG wire on the input cable

assembly. If a chassis ground wire exists on the aircraft, connect

it to the chassis ground wire assembly. Both leads must be con-

nected by FAA approved techniques using approved hardware.

5. Make sure the existing system is equipped with an appropriate

Operation

(cont’d)

drain holes at bottom of unit. RTV should never be used

between the rear surface of the light assembly and its

11. Update aircraft records, as required and obtain FAA field

approval for installation, if not covered under STC

Operating Instructions

EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS: An approved tail position light assembly

should be mounted as far aft on the aircraft as practicable on a thermally conductive surface. The baseplate must be mounted parallel to the vertical and horizontal centerlines of the aircraft to project the patterns properly.


CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS: The 71554( ) series LED tail position

light assembly is designed with 6 LEDs. Should any one LED 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. Replace if there is excessive scratching, pitting, discoloration or cracking.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES: The following information is to assist

you in installing a Whelen LED tail position light.

1. Choose the appropriate 71554( ) light assembly.

Operation

Wingtip anti-collision, forward position, and tail position lights, all in one compact unit. Tail position light eliminates the need for a tail mounted position light. Available in 14 or 28 volts, and in a radio-shielded version. The forward position lamp is 26 watts and the taillight lamp is 25 watts.

Installation

The A600 Series must be properly mounted to comply with FAR Part 91.205(c-

2) & (c-3). The light assembly must be mounted so that the light distribution pattern is not obstructed by any parts of the aircraft. A limited amount of obstruction is permitted (Ref. FAR Part 23.1401 for anti-collision lights, and

PAR 23.1387 for position lights).

The convergence of the two wingtip tail position must occur within 1200 feet directly behind the aircraft to comply with field of coverage requirements. The baseplate must be mounted parallel to the vertical & horizontal centerlines of the aircraft to project the patterns properly.

Mounting

1. If necessary, fabricate the mounting pattern using dimensions found in

Observe the following strobe color coding:

PIN 1 - RED (Anode)

PIN 2 - BLACK (Cathode)

PIN 3 - WHITE (Trigger)

Caution: When pins 1 & 2 or pins 2 & 3 are reversed, the system will appear to operate normally, however this condition will cause pre-mature flash tube failure.

2. Connect the forward position light wires as follows:

RED - +14 or +28 volts (depending on aircraft voltage)

BLACK - ( - ) Ground

3. The tail position light has no polarity, as noted by both wires being BLUE.

Connect one BLUE wire to +14 or +28 volts (depending on aircraft voltage).

Connect the other BLUE wire to ground (see Figure 48b).

Dimensions

Figure 48b

5.63”

(143mm)

1.83”

(mm)

2. Make the necessary wiring connections using 18 gauge wire for the posi-

tion lights, and Whelen 16 gauge 3/c cable for the strobe lights. All connec-

tions must use FAA approved techniques.

3. Remove the two (6-32 x .312) retainer mounting screws and retainer.

4. Attach the base assembly to the wingtip using (3) #6-32 counter-sunk

screws (unit may be sealed around periphery with RTV or equivalent).

5. Re-attach lens retainer (see Figure 48a).

A650 Operation

Converts existing Whelen W1285 position lights into a position/anticollision light system by removing the existing retainer and replacing it with the A650 assembly. Available in a radio-shielded version.

A650 Wingtip Strobe Light.

To install the Whelen A650 strobe lighthead assembly on the aircraft, proceed with the following instructions:

1. Remove the wingtip navigation light and wingtip, when necessary.

2. Install the nylon three position AMP pin connectors A441 on the

end of the flash tube wires (RED in pin 1, BLACK in pin 2, and

WHITE in pin 3).

3. Assemble the navigation light assembly on the wingtip using the

A650 strobe light assembly as the navigation light lens retainer.

a. Install the rubber pad (supplied in kit) on the position light base

plate under the A610 flash tube, if necessary to make the lens firm

in its mounting.

4. In some installations it will be necessary to mask the A650 strobe

light, to reduce pilot annoyance. The Navigation Light Detector will

be a source of reflection, and should be reduced in size or masked

as necessary. A small aluminum or plastic plate, mounted between

the navigation light and the wingtip, protruding up or down as

required (like some plastic navigation light detectors), and trimmed

to shadow the objectionable reflected area, is most effective. This

reflection problem varies from one aircraft to another, due to aircraft

design and paint color scheme, and must be checked on every

installation.

STROBE SYSTEM TROUBLE-SHOOTING

TROUBLE-SHOOTING PROCEDURES FOR AVIATION

ANTI-COLLISION STROBE LIGHT SYSTEMS

WHEN REPAIRING WHELEN ANTI-COLLISION STROBE LIGHT

SYSTEMS, USE ONLY WHELEN FAA APPROVED HARDWARE. BE

CAREFUL OF STROBE LIGHT PARTS THAT ARE SIMILAR IN

APPEARANCE!

The Whelen Aviation Strobe Light is a condenser discharge strobe light system. A condenser is charged to approximately 450 volts DC, then discharged across a xenon flash tube at controlled intervals. The condenser is parallel across the xenon flash tube that is designed to hold off the 450 volts DC applied, until the flash tube is triggered by an external pulse. This pulse is generated by a solid-state timing circuit in the power supply.

When trouble-shooting a strobe light system, first determine if the trouble is with the flash tube or the power supply. This can be accomplished by replacing the flash tube assembly with a good operating flash tube, or with the use of a Whelen Strobe Check unit.

Whelen’s power supplies are protected against a short or open circuit on the output. In either case, the power supplies will effectively turn themselves off when subjected to a shorted output of a xenon flash tube that refuses to flash.

WARNING: Strobe light power supplies are meant to be used, not to remain in an inactive state. Use them at all times, this will improve their proper functioning. Any strobe light power supply that has been out of service for a long period of time is subject to failure because the electrolytic condenser loses the polarity formation. A strobe light power

supply not having been used for one year or longer is vulnerable to failure, applies to 1993 & older units.

If this is the case, it is recommended to start operating the system on a voltage that is reduced by 25 percent for 10 to 15 minutes before putting the power supply into normal service. This will prevent overheating of the condenser while they reform. If the power supply, after a long period of non use, is operated at full voltage immediately, there is an excellent possibility that the condenser will become overheated.

POWER SUPPLY TEST PROCEDURES

THE POWER SUPPLY IS A HIGH VOLTAGE DEVICE. LET THE

POWER SUPPLY BLEED DOWN FOR 10 MINUTES AFTER

TURNING OFF POWER BEFORE HANDLING.

WARNING: Reverse polarity of the input power, for just an instant, will permanently damage the power supply. This damage is sometimes not immediately apparent, but will cause failure later on.

External trigger switching is not provided on the A413A, HDA-

DF Strobe Light Power Supply (Reference A413,T3-DF old style strobe light power supply, outlet #1). Do not short out high voltage for extended length of time; it will cause overheating of the output diodes and cause possible failure.

CABLE CONTINUITY CHECK PROCEDURES

If pins 1 and 3 are reversed, or if there is a short between pins 1 and 2 of the interconnecting cable, the power supply will be rendered nonoperable until the short is cleared. A short of this type will not cause any permanent damage to the power supply. However a discharge of the condenser across pin 1 and pin 3 will destroy the trigger circuit in the power supply.

1. Check for continuity between the connectors of each interconnect-

Pin 1 to pin 1 (red wire = anode +).

Pin 2 to pin 2 (black wire = flash tube ground -).

Pin 3 to pin 3 (white wire = trigger).

2. Check for shorts between pins 1 and 2, pins 1 and 3, and pins 2

and 3 of the interconnecting cable.

NOTE: When pins 1 and 2, or pins 2 and 3 are reversed, the system will appear to operate normally, but these conditions will cause early flash tube failure, and void the flash tube warranty.

XENON FLASH TUBE PROCEDURES

1. A xenon flash tube can be very photosensitive. One will flash nor-

mally when exposed to an external light source, but may become

hard to fire when subjected to darkness.

2. They will become hard firing with age, or when exposed to a very

high temperature. A hard firing tube will sometimes operate with

the engine running, but will fail when operated on a low battery.

3. They can develop a leak through eggshelling of the glass, or a leak

can develop around the seal of the wire to the glass. This is caused

by hot and cold cycling of normal operating of the system.

4. They can go into self-ionization (continuously glow a light Blue),

thus rendering the entire system non-operational until flash tube is

replaced. This most likely occurs when the input voltage is highest.

This can be checked by turning the system off. When turning the

system back on, it generally will operate normally for a few flashes

before going back into self-ionization.

ANY OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED CONDITIONS ARE REASONS FOR

REPLACEMENT OF THE XENON FLASH TUBE.

NOTE: Installing one new flash tube in any multi-head strobe light system, will sometimes cause the remaining old flash tube to misfire or skip. This signifies that the old flash tube is nearing the end of it’s service life. However, to check the questionable flash tube, install it in a system and apply a reduced voltage, approximately 20 percent, to the input to the power supply. If the flash tube will operate at this reduced level, it still has a great deal of service life in it.

WHELEN’S CometFlash

®

(“CF”) Strobe Light System consists of four high energy pulses per burst of light, 45 bursts of light per light.

A normal operating power supply emits an audible tone. If there is no sound emitted, investigate.

1. Determine that there is a proper input voltage at the power supply.

If this test is positive go to step 2.

2. Clear all possible shorts at the power supply, by disconnecting the

output cables from the power supply outlets, and connect an oper-

ating strobe lighthead assembly or a strobe check unit directly to

the power supply outlet, then apply the required voltage to the

power supply input. If this application proves positive the power

supply is in working condition, and the problem may be with the

R.F.I. and E.M.I. Problems (Radio Noise)

Whelen Engineering strobe light power supplies are designed with a low pass filter built in to keep R.F.I. and E.M.I. down to a minimum, however, sometimes there will be interference in the radios by the strobe light system. Most always, this is an installation problem, not a strobe light power supply problem.

The power supply should acquire its power from a low impedance source, such as the alternator or generator end of the electrical buss.

Historically, the rotating beacon or strobe light circuit breaker is added on the electrical buss at the opposite end, with the radio in between the strobe breaker and the low impedance end of the electrical buss. Any noise generated by the power supply will be transmitted into the radio through the A+ input lead to the radio. Most of the new radio equipment manufactured today has inadequate input filtering, and any noise on the electrical buss is amplified in the radio and produced through the speaker and/or head phones loud and clear.

Two things can be done to alleviate the problem:

1. Connect the strobe light circuit breaker to the low impedance end

of the electrical buss, using a 16 gauge jumper, as close to the

battery as possible.

2. Install additional filtering in the radio A+ line, or provide an iso-

lated A+ source for the radios by installing a filter choke in series

with the radio input power lead and a filter adapter to ground and

reference all radios to their filter. This will also improve the radio

system from other line noises. REF 2200 mfd@50V Capacitor.

Frequently the noise is not on the A+ lead but is conducted through the ground circuit. Alternator, electrical motor, fuel pumps and strobe light power supplies draw heavy current through the ground circuit of the aircraft’s frame. Any voltage drop in the ground circuit between the battery ground and the radio ground can look like a signal to the radios.

When the speaker, head phone and microphone use the aircraft’s ground for return to the radios, one will always experience some interference. The amount of interference depends upon how much potential difference there is between the two ground points. Isolating the audio grounds from the airplane ground at the speaker, head phone and microphone junctions, and grounding the aforementioned with the radio at one central ground point, will eliminate the majority of all ground inducted radio noise.

Do not parallel any audio leads with any power lead supplying energy to a noise generator; (i.e.) alternator, electric motor or DC choppers such as inverters and strobe light power supplies.

The interconnecting cable between the power supply and the remote strobe lighthead assembly radiate very little, for the output circuit of the power supply is very low impedance. They can radiate RF like an antenna if the shield is not terminated to ground. The radiation of RF energy is reduced to a minimum by properly terminating the shield at one end or the other, generally the power supply end, but which ever proves the quietest ground. Do not terminate both ends.

When installing a strobe light system, provide a good ground and a low impedance source to the strobe light power supply. Eliminate ground loops in audio circuits by using a centrally located ground point for all audio grounds.

Whelen Engineering has available RF shielded flash tubes and strobe lighthead assemblies to suppress the trigger pulse or clicking sometimes heard in the radios.

If noise problems persist, and the procedures described have not cleared them up, please contact the Whelen Engineering Company for assistance.
