S-7S WHELEN STROBE INSTALLATION
(REFER TO PARTS PAGE # 011-06 FOR PARTS SELECTION)
STROBE POWER BOX INSTALLATION
(AFTER PAINTING OF FUSELAGE – DURING FINAL ASSEMBLY)
Refer to FIGURE 11B-01
Position cushioned tube clamps on the Station 3 lower crossing tube and lower
diagonal tube. See
FIGURE 11B-01 . Position the forward clamp about 1” inboard
of the seat support tube and bolt the tang to the clamp. NOTE: Leave the bolt
loose to ease moving the clamp.
Position the power box with the power connections to the aft. Bolt the strobe
power box to the tang. Position the clamps to line up with the power box
mounting holes and bolt. Tighten all bolts.
STROBE / POSITION LIGHT WIRING INSTALLATION
(BEFORE COVERING OF WINGS)
NOTE: Installation may also be done on covered wings.
Unroll the gray strobe wire and cut it in half. Cut four 20’ segments of 14-gauge
wire. Run the gray and 14-gauge wire through the trailing edge spar to the wing
tip bow. Secure the wires for covering to the inboard side of the wing tip bow,
approximately 13” aft of the leading edge. Be certain to leave enough length to
work with while wiring.
(AFTER WING TO FUSELAGE ATTACHMENT)
Connect the ends, provided in the strobe kit, to the three (3) wires coming out of
the gray strobe cable. The Whelen Installation Manual has directions about which
way they go on.
NOTE: Cut to length and connect the wires after bolting the
wings on. Red connects to #1, black connects to #2, and white connects to #3.
Make sure these ends are inserted all the way into the connector. The
unprotected wire (shield) connects to the aircraft ground buss. The two white
connectors, from the gray strobe cable, are plugged into the strobe outlets on the
power box.
