THIESEN ACL3 Mounting Instruction

Mounting instruction for anti collision light (ACL³)
Dear customer,
the electronic anti collision light "ACL" is a highly innovative product which contributes to saver airspace.
Now 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 for aircraft (NON-TSO'd) is designed to be mounted at a suitable position at the tail unit or at the top of
the stabilizer. Please adhere to the following instructions for a professional mounting of the ACL.
The illumination angle complies to the regulations for general aviation.

Required materials and tools

2-core twisted cord, according to the length of fuselage (5 - 8 meters),
clear silicone,
2 screws, approx. 4 mm x 30 - 35-mm length,
soldering iron, tin solder,
shrink hose (is enclosed).

Recommendations

Cable
We recommend a double core, flexible and twisted cable with a cross section of at least 1.5 mm .
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 2 metal countersunk screws (4 mm x 30 - 35 mm) to fix the ACL and a thin layer of silicon to paste it to the required position.
By the use of silicon twisting of the ACL is prevented and sealing against dirt and water is guaranteed.
Use only screws that do not corrode!
