General Caution and Warning Lights System

The aircraft lighting system has flight compartment lighting, exterior
lighting, emergency lighting, a caution lights panel, a warning lights
panel and an advisory lights system. All lights, except those for the
panel and instrument lighting and emergency lights use 28 volts
DC.
The panel and instrument lights are supplied from variable 5 volts
DC power supplies.
Power for the emergency lighting system is from separate 6 volts
battery power supply units which are charged from the aircraft 28
volts DC supply.
The caution lights panel gives a visual indication to alert the flight
crew that there is a failure in a system. When a failure is detected,
the master caution indicator will flash and put on the system caution
light on the caution lights panel.
The warning lights panel gives a visual indication to alert the flight
crew that there is a failure in a system. When a failure is detected,
the master warning indicator will flash and put on the system warn−
ing light on the warning lights panel.

Three pairs of anti collision white strobe lights and a flashing red
ramp light are installed on the aircraft. One pair of strobe lights is
installed on the left wing tip, one pair on the right wing tip, and one
pair at the lower tip of the tail cone.
Each pair of strobe lights has a primary light and a secondary light.
In normal use the primary (aft) strobe lights on the left and right
wing and the primary (left) strobe light on the tail cone are used.
The secondary strobe light is connected to a dummy connector on
each of the power supplies. If the primary strobe light becomes
unserviceable, the output and dummy connector plugs on the power
supply are exchanged to enable operation of the secondary strobe
light. The red ramp light is installed at the top of the tail fin. All of
the anti collision lights are controlled from a switch (S1) identified
A/COL on the right EXTERIOR LIGHTS panel in the overhead con−
sole. The switch has three positions RED, OFF and WHITE.
The three pairs of strobe lights are connected to three separate
strobe light power supply units. Each power supply unit is installed
close to the light it supplies with power. All of the power supply units
are connected to a common conductor (SYNC) for synchronized
flashing operation of the three lights. Power is supplied from the
28 volts DC right main bus, through the ANTI COLL circuit breaker
on the right dc circuit breaker panel, and through the A/COL switch.
