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.
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 Maximus 64 28VDC light, and wish to test the function of
the light prior to installation on your aircraft, please note the following:
- Please review the written information that is enclosed in the packaging. Warranty information as well as a cautionary note about power supply removal is enclosed with each package.
- Remove the light from the package. Note that there is connector with 2 colors:
- Black – Ground
- Red – Power
- Testing of the function of the light can be done with a regular 28VDC power supply (not a battery charger). Connect the ground wire to black pole and then connect the power wire to the red pole. The Maximus 64 28VDC light should start lighting. When installed on the aircraft, using the aircraft’s power (28 VDC), the light will be at its maximum intensity.
After testing, the light can be installed on the aircraft.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Under no circumstances should any power supply other than a 18-36VDC, 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 at 18-36 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
Notes on Installation
Spread the tightening forces evenly around the mounting hole. Stainless steel
screw is recommended. Length depends upon placement location on aircraft.
Continued Airworthiness Information
Circuit/Wiring Protection
Each Maximus 64 28VDC series light features a Negative Temperature Coefficient
(NTC) circuit that limits internal temperatures by attenuating operating
current (with a corresponding reduction of brightness) when internal
temperatures reach a certain threshold. This proprietary circuitry serves to
protect the light itself, and associated aircraft wiring, against a thermal
runaway condition.
