HOW TO CHOOSE A POWER SUPPLY AND ABOUT COMETFLASHฎ
The power supply needed depends on the application, and the mounting location. Model
HDACF Series is a fuselage mounted power supply that will power two or three lights. Model
A490ATSC Series is designed for installation adjacent to the strobe lighthead and will power
one light assy. Model A490TCF Series is the most economical power supply when adding only
one light. It mounts adjacent to the strobe lighthead assembly (not legal for light output with
red strobe light).
Most other Whelen power supplies are application specific, contact factory
for details. Unless otherwise noted, all power supplies are CometFlashฎ. Whelen Engineering
is proud to have introduced the CometFlash CF, a major advancement in the field of safety
lighting. By pulsing the flash tube four times in rapid succession, the effective on-time of
the strobe is increased from 2/1000 of a second to 4/10 of a second. This increases your airplanes
visibility. The development of the CometFlash reflects Whelens dedication to safety. |

MODEL HDACF SERIES
HDACF series provides simultaneous flashing, alternate flashing or both. It will operate one,
two or three strobe lightheads. Operating the wing tip strobes in the alternating mode will
provide an accumulated 42 joules of power to each light. When in the simultaneous mode, the
accumulated power to each light is 21 joules. In the three light mode, the wing tips will flash
simultaneous at an accumulated 21 joules each, they alternate with a third light operating at
an accumulated 42 joules. On the trigger selector outlet, a switch mounted in place of the
jumper will allow wing tip outlets 2 & 3 to be turned off, while the tail outlet 1 will remain on.
This function is commonly used when the third light is for ground operations. This power
supply will operate from 10 to 30 VDC.
