7.5 Wiring
tailBeaconX-EXP is designed to use existing position and/or anti-collision
light wiring. If new wiring is required, refer to AC 43.13-1B Chapter 11 for
guidance. The power should present a resistance of less than 0.5ohm. The
ground wire should present a resistance of less than 250 milliOhm’s. The
following table provides guidance for typical aircraft hook-up wire.

1. Prepare the aircraft wiring for connection.
a. Install a shielded 24AWG twisted pair cable from the cockpit to
the tail.
b. Install a ground wire from the aircraft airframe or battery ground
2. Connect the red wire to the switched position light power wire using
environmental splices or equivalent.
3. Connect the black wire to the battery or airframe ground.
4. Connect the twisted pair conductors to the Orange and Grey wires
5. Connect one end of the twisted pair shield to the local airframe
ground.
