REMOVAL OF STROBE POWER SUPPLY
Strobe power supply is in aft section of fuselage.
1. Remove access panel to aft section of fuselage in rear baggage compartment to gain access to power
supply.
2. To remove power supply disconnect electrical plugs. (One to four plugs depending on installation.
Make note of placement of plugs to facilitate installation.)
3. Disconnect other electrical leads.
– NOTE –
Make note of placement of leads to facilitate installation.
4. Remove four screws securing power supply to fuselage. Power supply can now be removed.
INSTALLATION OF STROBE POWER SUPPLY (REFER TO FIGURE 33-1)
1. Position power supply in place and secure with four screws previously removed.
2. Reconnect electrical leads in their proper place.
3. Reconnect electrical plugs previously removed in their proper place.
4. Replace access panel in rear baggage compartment.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
Strobe light functions as a condenser discharge system. A condenser in the power supply is charged to
approximately 450 volts DC then discharged across Xenon flash tube at intervals of approximately 50
flashes per minute. Condenser is parallel across the Xenon flash tube which is designated to hold off the
450 volts DC applied until flash tube is triggered by an external pulse. This pulse is generated by a solid
state timing circuit in power supply.
When troubleshooting strobe light system, it must first be determined if trouble is in flash tube or power
supply. Replacement of flash tube will confirm if tube is defective. A nomally operating power supply will
emit an audible tone of 1 to 1.5 KHZ. If there is no sound emitted, check system according to the following
instructions. When troubleshooting system, utilize appropriate schematic at back of this section.
1. Ascertain input voltage at power supply is 14 volts.
– CAUTION –
When disconnecting and connecting power supply input con-
nections, do not get connections reversed. Reversed polarity of
input voltage for just an instant will permanently damage
power supply. Reversed polarity destroys a protective diode in
power supply, causing self-destruction from overheating of
power supply. This damage is sometimes not immediately
apparent, but will cause failure of system in time.
