INSTALLATION...
The A650 Series must be properly mounted to comply with
FAR Part 91.205(c-2) & (c-3). The light assembly must be
mounted so that the light distribution pattern is not obstructed
by any parts of the aircraft. A limited amount of obstruction is
permitted (Ref. FAR Part 23.1401 for anti-collision lights, and
PAR 23.1387 for position lights).
The baseplate must be mounted parallel to the vertical and
horizontal centerlines of the aircraft to project the patterns
properly. These assemblies are interchangeable with the
Grimes model A1285 position light.
MOUNTING...
1. If necessary, fabricate the mounting pattern using
dimensions found in fig. 1.
2. Make the necessary wiring connections using 18 gage
wire for the position lights, and Whelen 16 gage 3/c
cable for the strobe lights. All connections must use FAA
approved techniques.
3. Remove the (6-32 x .312) retainer mounting screw and
retainer.
4. Attach the base assembly to the wingtip using (3) #6-32
countersunk screws (unit may be sealed around
periphery with RTV or equivalent).
5. Re-attach lens retainer.
WIRING...
1. The strobe connector should plug into the Whelen 16 gage
interconnecting cable, or a Whelen strobe power supply.
Observe the following strobe color coding:
PIN 1 - RED (Anode)
PIN 2 - BLACK (Cathode)
PIN 3 - WHITE (Trigger)
Caution: When pins 1 & 2 or pins 2 & 3 are reversed, the
system will appear to operate normally, however
this condition will cause premature flash tube
failure.
2. Connect the forward position light wires as follows, using 18
gage approved aviation wire or cable:
RED - +14 or +28 volts (depending on aircraft voltage
BLACK - ( - ) Ground
