thickness.
Note: Installation of the tailBeaconX must be in accordance with AC 43.13-
2B, Chapter 1 and aircraft maintenance manuals.
7.6 Wiring
In most cases, tailBeaconX will require less electrical power than the
legacy light it is replacing. However, a load analysis must be conducted
based on the Section 6.4 power requirements to ensure adequate
overcurrent protection and power supply availability.
tailBeaconX requires connections to power, ground, an RS-232 control
interface and optional suppression input.

tailBeaconX is designed to use existing position light power wiring, but it is
highly recommended to run new wire from tailBeaconX to power and
ground. See AC 43.13-1B Chapter 11 for guidance. The wiring should
present an impedance of less than 0.5ohm. The following table provides
guidance for typical aircraft hook-up wire.
