(Operational from 22-32VDC)
Input Current:
Position Lights .......................................................... 0.17 Amps
Anti-Collision Light (Avg.) ......................................... 0.5 Amps
Anti-Collision Light (Pulse) ....................................... 2.6 Amps

EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS:
An approved forward position lighting system consists of two lights, one located on
each wingtip. The baseplate must be mounted parallel to the vertical and horizontal
centerlines of the aircraft to project the patterns properly.
Certain types of installations may require additional testing.
AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS:
The Airworthiness Limitations section is FAA approved and specifies inspections and
other maintenance required under §43.16 and §91.403 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations, unless an alternative program has been approved.
No airworthiness limitations are associated with the installation of the LED position/
anti-collision light.
CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS:
The forward position light is designed with Green LEDs or Red LEDs. The tail
position light is designed with 2 White LEDs. The anti-collision light is designed with
24 White LEDs. If any one LED fails, the unit must be repaired or replaced.
Inspect the lens, replace if there is excessive scratching, pitting, discoloration or
cracking. For additional lens maintenance detail see SAE ARP5637.
Note: To reduce eye strain, use an optical filter such as dark glasses or a blue
covering dome during LED inspection.
PERIODIC INSPECTIONS:
An annual inspection shall be performed unless the OEM specifies a shorter interval.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:
The following information is to assist you in installing a WAT light system. The
installation procedure described in the following text will be confined to a single light
installation, but is identical for multiple light installations.
1. Choose the appropriate light assembly.
2. Using the mounting detail information provided, prepare the aircraft for means
to secure the light assembly.
3. Carefully remove the #2 cap head screws and lens retainer. Remove the lens
from the light assembly by lifting the rear of the lens approximately 1/2". Now
slide the lens rearward approximately 1/2" and lift upwards to remove.
CAUTION! Do not touch the LED lens surface with either fingers or sharp
objects. This could soil and/or damage the lens and affect the optical
performance of the LEDs. Remove the 3 black Phillips head screws securing
the baseplate to the light assembly. Remove baseplate.
4. Using the appropriate hardware install the baseplate to the aircraft.
5. Connect the light inputs according to the chart shown. Connect the power lead
to an appropriately sized breaker. Connections to be according to FAA
approved methods.
Note: SYNC is a low-power, bi-directional control signal. Connecting to the
synchronize signal of any WAT LED anti-collision assembly to another WAT
anti-collision assembly will cause the lights to flash at the same time. If
Synchronization is not necessary, the connection may be left open.

6. Re-install the light assembly on to the baseplate and insure that all leads
are clear of any obstructions and secured as required. Note that proper
orientation is achieved with the drain hole down.
7. Install lens in the reverse order as removal, return the lens retainer to its
installed location, re-insert #2 cap head screw and tighten firmly. Confirm
proper gasket fit.
8. When necessary, waterproof the light base to aircraft. Apply single-part
Silicone (RTV) or equivalent around any open area where water could
get in. Do not cover the drain hole.
9. Check all avionics systems for interference from this installation.
10. A flight check should be performed by a properly certified pilot.
11. If required, update aircraft records utilizing FAA Field Approval (Form
337) or equivalent.
