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 Hercules JP 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:
Blue – Ground
Red – Power -
Testing of the function of the light can be done with a regular 14VDC or 28VDC power supply (not a battery charger).
Connect the ground wire to blue pole and then connect the power wire to the red pole. The Hercules JP light should start lighting. When installed on the aircraft, using the aircraft’s power (14 or 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 +9..+36 V DC, or a
14 / 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 9-36 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
Continued Airworthiness Information
Circuit/Wiring Protection
Each Hercules JP 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.
