1.7 Wiring Chart
Use diagram below defining the wiring size depending on the current and the wire length. Make sure you add up the current for all connected lights. If current is not given, then divide the power by the voltage.

1.8 Equipment Limitation
Crystal Conforma should only be powered by 9-36 V DC.

1.9 Care and Cleaning of Lights
Aveo Engineering Aviation Lights are factory polished and delivered as ready to install on the aircraft.
If the lights need a deeper cleaning, they should be polished with a quality lamb’s wool sheet that is suitable also for deeper polishing. Under no circumstances should any petroleum based product be used to clean the lights.

1.10 Testing the Lights before Installation
All Aveo Aviation lights undergo rigorous testing prior to being released from our engineering manufacturing department. This testing involves a burn-in time as well as other function testing. No light is released for sale without undergoing this extensive operational testing.
When you receive the Crystal Conforma light, and wish to test the function of the light prior to installation on your aircraft, please observe the following procedure:

Review the written information that is enclosed in the packaging. Warranty information as well as a cautionary note about power supply removal is enclosed in each package.
Remove the light from the package. Note that there are two sets of wires:
Red| +14 V DC or +28 V DC, Nav. Steady
---|---
Yellow| +14 V DC or +28 V DC, Anti-collision Strobe
Black| Common 12 V DC or 28 V DC return VRTN
Blue| Synchro
Green/Yellow| Chassis
Testing the function of the light can be accomplished using a regular 14V/10A DC or 28V/5A DC power supply (not a battery charger).

Connect the black wire to the ground (negative) leads of a power supply, then connect the yellow or red wire to the positive (+) leads on the power supply. The light should start flashing (yellow wire = strobe light) or lighting (red wire = green/red light). Connecting the blue wires from each Crystal Conforma light together (and not to the ground or positive terminals on the battery) should result in flashing all lights at once.
It indicates the synchronization feature is working properly.

When installed on the aircraft and using the aircraft’s power (28 volts), the light will be at its maximum intensity.
If the tests are successfully completed, the lights can be installed on the aircraft.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Under no circumstances should any power supply other than a 9-36V DC, or a 28 volt battery be used to test the light. Do not use: Battery chargers, battery back-up power devices, or other bench avionics testing methods to test the aviation light. The light is functional between 9 and 36 volts. Use of a battery charger or other power unit to test the light will void the warranty and may damage the light.
If you have any questions about the installation of the lights, please refer to our web site: www.aveoengineering.com.

1.11 Notes on Installation
In order to meet all ETSO requirements, the Crystal Conforma light module should be installed into an Aveo manufactured wingtip only. In case you intend to mount any other than AVEO wingtip, contact kindly the manufacturer on the website http://www.aveoengineering.com/contact-us/.
Stainless steel screws M4 (DIN912) or SHCS #8-32 or equivalent mounting screws are recommended to be used for installation. Screw length depends on placement of screws on aircraft.
Spread the tightening forces evenly around the mounting hole.

1.12 Continued Airworthiness Information
From the webpage http://www.aveoengineering.com/ the customer can download the form F-AVE-001A which shall be used by operator for reporting any occurrences to the Aveo Engineering as the ETSO holder. The form contains the Aveo Engineering telephone number and the occurrence e-mail address (occurrence@aveoengineering.com).

The operator shall report immediately as the ETSO holder is obliged to report occurrences having potential to lead to an unsafe condition within 72 hours.

a. Circuit/Wiring Protection
Each Galactica series light features a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) circuit that limits internal temperatures by attenuating operating current (with corresponding reduction of brightness) when internal temperatures reach a certain threshold. This proprietary circuitry is intended for protecting the light itself, and associated aircraft wiring, from a thermal runaway condition. The operation of strobes without airflow is recommended to be limited in order to avoid heat buildup. This NTC circuitry feature
enables the life of LEDs and electronic components to be tripled and thereby provide an even great margin of safety for continued airworthiness due to the dramatic enhancement of electronics reliability.

b. Periodic Inspection Procedure
The Crystal Conforma lights should always be checked for proper operation during preflight. This procedural information is already provided in all general aviation aircraft flight manuals.
The lights should be visually examined for general condition, proper operation, and correct installation at each inspection to be carried out annually and/or after 100 hours of operation. Any debris or atmospheric deposits accumulated on the surface of the lights should be removed using a UV Wax such as Farecia Profile UV Wax to ensure ongoing optical clarity.
In addition, refer to section 1.10 of installation manual for detailed cleaning instructions.
The following procedure shall be performed, firstly, in the steady mode and secondly, in the strobe mode:

Turn the lights on.
Put on polarized sunglasses or welder goggles to prevent eye damage when looking into the lights.
Examine the individual LEDs. If any of the LEDs fail, the light shall be removed and sent to Aveo Engineering for replacement under the Warranty Program.
