Dear customer,
the electronic anti collision light “ACL-Modul” is a highly innovative product which contributes to saver airspace.
The new LED technology allows an incredibly excellent, red light with only approx. 10% of the input power compared with
conventional lights. The casting in a high-optical plastic makes the ACL absolutely insensitive against water, vibrations and
other environmental influence. The efficiency of the output is much higher, than with conventional electric light bulbs. The self-
warming of the ACL is low and can be determined as safe. To avoid overheating, the heat balance is controlled electronically.
This anti collision light is especially designed as „Tail-ACL“ for gyrocopter to improve the visibillity of gyrocopter especially for
subsequent traffic at approach for landing.
If no producer mounting instruction is available, please mount the ACL-Modul (after agreement of your inspector) that no other
components block the light pulse. The mounting could be at pitch elevator, rearwards at the top of the fuselage or at back side
of the pylon. The mounting can be in horizontal direction as well as in vertical direction (the angle of reflected beam is the
same).

Recommendations
Cable
Depending on the fuselage length of your gyrocopter, we recommend a double core, flexible and twisted cable with a cross
2
section of at least 1.5 mm for power supply (red / black) and one cable with minimum 0,3 mm² for synchronisation cable. In
case of doubt, you can order the suitable cable from Thiesen Electronics GmbH.
Adhesion
We recommend standard silicon in a tube. It is available in do-it-yourself markets. This adhesion is strong and in case of a
dismantling you only need a sharp knife. We strongly advise against using other kinds of adhesion, like polyester or epoxy
resin.
Mounting
Use the 2 enclosed nylon screws M4 for Mounting.
