1.0 OVERVIEW
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information regarding the physical, mechanical, and electrical characteristics,
as well as installation information pertaining to the Precise Flight Pulselite® Model 1210 / 2405-2A
Control Unit. For maintenance and repair information, contact Precise Flight Inc.
1.2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Precise Flight Inc. Pulselite® system is a solid-state electrical switching unit that pulses the
aircraft’s existing external lights, such as the Landing, Taxi, Recognition, Logo, or Hover Lights.
The lights are pulsed in variety of patterns at 45 or 90 times per minute to create an illusion of
exaggerated motion. This illusion enhances aircraft recognition in flight, similar to the manner that
the flashing lights on an emergency vehicle do for automobiles.
The Pulselite® system does not effect normal operation of the aircraft lighting system. The
Pulselite simply bridges the existing aircraft light switches and/or relays allowing the pilot to turn on
his external lights at any time, by moving the original light switches to the ON position. When the
pilot switches the applicable external lights off and the Pulselite is switched to PULSE, the Pulselite
function will resume. The original external lighting switch(es), and any additional Pulselite control
switch(es), need to be switched off to extinguish the lights.
The Pulselite connects easily to an aircraft's external lighting system, and may be installed on a
wide variety of aircraft with differing light sequence combinations.
The control circuit of the Pulselite requires 12 or 24 VDC. The two controlled power circuits pulse
DC Power to the aircraft lamps with loads no greater than 125 Watts per channel (or approximately
10 Amps @ 12 VDC or approximately 10 Amps @ 24 VDC).
Precise Flight recommends that the landing lights be turned on steady (full time) when the aircraft
is within 200' AGL at night. Due to possible disorientation, the Pulselite should not be operated at
night in clouds or on the ground. The landing lights may be turned on steady by simply switching
the original landing/taxi/recognition lights on.

2.4 PULSELITE CONTROL UNIT INSTALLATION
Listed below are considerations to be examined before installing the Pulselite® Model 1210 / 2405-
2A. Close attention to these suggestions will assure optimum performance when completed.
2.4.1 Cooling Considerations
Allow approximately ½” of space around the control unit for adequate convective cooling. This is
required so the heat sink fins may dissipate heat at the proper rate. Make every effort to locate
control unit away from heat sources, as elevated operating temperatures reduce reliability.
2.4.2 Control Unit Location Considerations
A. Select a location for the Pulselite Control Unit which is suitably ventilated for avionics.
!! WARNING !!
The Pulselite®Model 1210 / 2405-2A is not approved for use in a potentially
explosive environment (refer to AC 43.13-2B or later FAA approved revision,
Chapter 2 - Radio Installation) Locate Pulselite away from fire hazard zones,
highly explosive or corrosive areas, potentially hazardous fluid areas; e.g.
water, fuel, hydraulic fluid, or oxygen units, etc.
B. The Pulselite Control unit must be installed in a structurally substantiated location. If a location
is already defined for your specific aircraft make and model per the PFI STC drawing package,
this is an approved location. All other locations require a separate approval; this is the
responsibility of the installer.

2.5 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
2.5.1 Installation Considerations
Lamps to pulse: Landing lights are the most commonly pulsed lamps due to their higher output.
Taxi, Recognition and Wingtip lights may also be pulsed, or a combination of any. Pulsing
Navigation lights is not advised.
Pulsing a Landing and Taxi lights mounted immediately adjacent to each other in the aircraft’s
nose may, at a distance, merely seem to flicker when pulsed in the Alternate, or wig-wag mode. It
is advisable to pulse lamps closer than one and one-half feet apart in the Simultaneous mode, i.e.
on and off at the same time. Greater separation between pulsed lamps provides better
conspicuity.
The Alternate mode will also be easier on the aircrafts electrical system. Two 125 watt lamps
illuminated at alternate times result in a single constant 4 ½ amp load to a 28 volt aircraft. The
resulting overall load to the electrical system is less than that produced when turning both lamps
on steady. The same two lamps pulsing simultaneously will cause an 9 amp load to pulse on and
off. This may cause some interior lamps to dim and the ammeter needle to jump. While this
should not present a problem or real cause for concern, it may be distracting.
Some lighting circuits may be easier to wire for the Simultaneous mode. For example, wiring a
single channel or two paralleled Pulselite channels, in the Simultaneous mode is the easiest way to
pulse two wing tip lights wired to a single pole toggle switch. To pulse the same lights in the
Alternate mode, either install a two pole switch or install two diodes to isolate the lamps.
If pulsing gear mounted or other retractable lights, additional circuitry may be required to prevent
the light from being illuminated when the gear is retracted or the lamp is in an enclosed
compartment. Care must also be exercised to prevent the extend/retract motors from being
pulsed.
2.5.2 Wiring Considerations
All wiring must be secured to prevent chafing and faulting connections. Refer to FAA AC43.13-2B,
or later FAA approved revision, for wiring installation best practices.
NOTE
Precise Flight recommends Mil-W-22759 wiring be used in the Pulselite
Installation.
!! WARNING !!
Do Not Use Aluminum Wire for the Pulselite Installation.
The Pulselite installation requires certain wiring precautions in addition to the standard wiring
practices for the aircraft.
A. Observe proper cable routing, i.e. avoid tie-wrap joining power lines to antenna leads. Avoid
close proximity to navigation equipment. Where it is necessary to cross Pulselite wiring over

other wires, cross at a right angle and avoid running lamp supply or output wires in parallel to
radio, communication equipment or storm scope wiring. Ensure an adequate ground for the
Pulselite Control unit and its case.
B. Be sure that all connections are sound, i.e. avoid frayed or split conduit ends. Poor, loose or
corroded connections can cause electrical noise and degraded operation.
C. Avoid sharp bends or undue strain on cables.
2.5.3 Control Unit Wiring
After the Pulselite Control Unit has been properly mounted, determine the lighting pulse mode.
Find the total wattage of the lamp(s) connected to the Pulselite Control Unit. Divide the highest
total wattage by the voltage. The result will be the highest amperage rating on the Pulselite
Control Unit. Amperages should not exceed 10 amps per channel @ 12 VDC or 5 amps per
channel @ 24 VDC or 125 Watts per channel. See Example below.

Determine the amperage on individual channels. Proper wire and circuit protection should be
observed.
x Approved wire specification is MIL-W- 22759/16 or equivalent.
x Fuse specification is MIL-F-15160 or equivalent.
x Circuit breaker specification is MIL-C-5809 or equivalent.
A. GROUND: To protect the Pulselite control unit and insure proper installation, it is important
to check that the ground wire (black wire) is properly grounded to the aircraft frame.
Chassis of unit should be mounted to airframe and interfaces burnished to ensure a good
ground. If the Pulselite Control Unit cannot be mounted to A/C structure, attach a bonding
jumper per AC43.13-1B or later FAA approved revision Section 3 Par. 452.
B. CONTROL POWER: Power input for the Pulselite Control Unit is through the white wire.
Use at least 22 gauge wire for this circuit. To protect this wire, a circuit breaker or inline
fuse is required. This circuit breaker or fuse should not exceed 1 to 5 amps. This protected
control power may come off the existing lamp control switch if room is not available in the
circuit breaker panel.
C. PULSE RATE SELECT: Making a connection between the two brown wires will change the
rate of pulse from approximately 45 pulses per minute to approximately 90 pulses per
minute. If the pulse rate is left at 45, cap and stow the two brown wires.
D. MODE SELECT: Making a connection between the gray wire and the violet wire will pulse
the two connected lights alternately. Making a connection between the gray wire and the
orange wire will pulse the lights simultaneously.
E. LAMP INPUT POWER: The red wire is attached to either an existing external light circuit
breaker or a new circuit breaker of the same value as the existing external light circuit

2.6 SWITCH INSTALLATION
In general, it is preferable to retain original switch functionality. An existing landing light switch,
supplemented with an additional Pulselite switch, is easily operated by a pilot familiar with the
aircraft but not the Pulselite system.
The wide variety of switch styles used makes it impossible for Precise Flight to supply an
appropriate switch for every aircraft. An ON-OFF switch is provided with the Pulselite kit however
it may be preferable to install a customer supplied switch that more closely matches the existing
aircraft switch style. An ON-OFF rocker or toggle switch similar to the existing Landing light switch
may be installed for Pulselite control.
Where panel space is at a premium, a two position ON-OFF Landing, Taxi or Recognition light
switch can usually be replaced with a three position ON-OFF-PULSE switch. For systems using
circuit breaker switches, a separate breaker switch would be required. These switches must have
a lamp load rating appropriate for the light to be pulsed. Due to the high inrush associated with
incandescent lamps, the lamp load rating of a switch may be 20-25% of the listed resistive load
rating.
A. A switch is required for activation of the Pulselite Control Unit. The switch should be
rated for 3 amps at 12 or 28 VDC.
B. The switch(es) should be located near the existing aircraft landing light switches.

C. Install placard (supplied with kit) next to switch. You may have your instrument panel
engraved to provide switch identification.
2.7 DIODE INSTALLATION
High current diodes are supplied with some Pulselite kits to isolate the outputs where appropriate.
The use of diodes is not usually required when using a two pole switch, or when pulsing both
lamps simultaneously.
Where a single pole switch is used to control two lamps that are to be pulsed alternately, the
diodes prevent one channel from feeding back to the common switch connection and lighting both
lamps at the same time. The diodes are installed between the switch and the lamps, with the
Pulselite output wires on the lamp side of the diode. Power flows through both diodes to illuminate
both lamps when the light switch is in the steady on position.
Some aircraft use a mechanically interlocking switch, or a switch and diode arrangement to
illuminate both landing and taxi lights when the switch is in the landing position. A single diode
would be required in this case to prevent pulsed power to the landing light from feeding power to
the taxi light as well.
If the Pulselite is used to pulse two lamps, normally fed from differing busses of a multiple buss
system, a diode must be installed to prevent voltage from the Pulselite’s lamp input power (Red
wire) from back-feeding into the other buss.
The body of the stud mounted diodes provided is electrically hot, with the threaded stud being the
cathode connection. Because battery voltage will be present on the diode, it must not be allowed
to come in contact with metal or other wiring. When diodes are required, it is recommended they
be mounted on a phenolic insulator secured to the aircraft. This phenolic insulates the diodes from
aircraft ground and from each other. Heavy current through the diodes can cause them to become
very hot, use a heat resistant material, not acrylic.
PLEASE NOTE: WHEN DIODES ARE USED THE ENTIRE DIODE
ASSEMBLY MUST BE INSULATED FROM AIRCRAFT GROUND.

3.0 TESTING
3.1 INSTALLATION TESTING
The following test procedure will evaluate the installation in the aircraft:
1. Check connections and wiring before applying power
2. Insure the grey wire is attached to either the violet or orange wire, with remaining wire
capped.
3. Turn aircraft power ON.
4. With the existing Landing / Taxi / Recognition Light Switch OFF, Switch the Pulselite
Unit to ON and verify that the appropriate Landing / Taxi / Recognition Lights are flashing
on the aircraft.
5. Switch the appropriate Landing/ Taxi / Recognition Lights ON utilizing the existing switch
and verify that the lights remain on without flashing.
6. Switch the Pulselite Control Unit and the existing Landing/ Taxi / Recognition Light
switches OFF and verify that the Landing/ Taxi/ Recognition Lights are OFF.
3.2 EMI/FRI TESTING
The following is an outline for determining that no detrimental Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI)
or Radio Frequency Interference is caused by the installation of a Precise Flight Pulselite product
per FAR §23.1431, §25.1431, §27.1431, or §29.1431.
These procedures are not necessarily all encompassing in that they may not include all of the
equipment installed in the airplane. If electronic and navigation equipment is installed which is not
included in this document, consult the equipment manufacturer, an FAA approved repair station
rated in the equipment involved ,or an FAA Avionics Inspector for applicable test procedures.
The evaluation will be with a series of equipment checks, on the ground, to determine that no
detrimental EMI/RFI effects are introduced into the aircraft by the Pulselite system.
The electrical systems installed in the aircraft will be referred to as the Pulselite system in this
procedure.
The following tests should be performed by personnel familiar with aircraft systems and proper
operation as well as the Pulselite equipment and its proper operation.
Any and all discrepancies shall be noted. Any discrepancies noted during these procedures must
be reported to Precise Flight, Inc. and evaluated for cause, extent and as to what corrective action
should be taken to correct the problem. The aircraft may not be flown after discrepancies are
found unless the Pulselite system is disconnected at the aircraft bus until such time as the
problems have been corrected and the aircraft has successfully passed the ground portion of this
test. Only then may the aircraft be flown to complete this test.
A record of this test must be recorded in the aircraft logbook. The entry should include date,
aircraft time, and results including any discrepancies note. The ground test results shall be
recorded in the permanent aircraft records by the installing mechanic or a mechanic with the
proper ratings. A copy of the following pages with the test results is recommended to be kept as
