Installation Procedures
The installation procedure described in the following text is for a single light installation, and multiple
light installations. The pulsing function of the -H model landing and/or taxi light(s) is a self-contained
feature and does not require the use of an externally mounted pulse light controller. Wiring diagrams
are provided for single, dual, and quad light installations for the -H model to illustrate typical wiring for
enabling the pulsing mode and wig-wag synchronization. For the non-pulsing model lights, existing wire
and switches and breakers will be utilized. For the -H model lights, an additional wire and switch will be
required to enable the pulse mode, and for multiple lights an additional synchronization wire will be
required.
Refer to the aircraft manufacturer’s service manual and/or illustrated parts catalog: Locate the landing
and/or taxi light system installed in your aircraft. This will provide details on the location of the
components and the assembly details.
WARNING
: If the aircraft being modified incorporates a remote sensor (flux gate) compass:
DO NOT
mount the LED light within 24 inches of the remote compass components. After installation of the LED
lighting system, a compass swing MUST be performed with the landing/taxi lights ON & OFF and the
position error card must be annotated accordingly.
WARNING
:
DO NOT
mount the LED light with less than 4 inches clearance to exhaust system
components unless an adequate heat shield is utilized to block radiant heat.
