Hangar Flying / Disconnecting sheilding wire from strobe light sytem
« on: August 16, 2005, 11:29:00 AM »
Your thoughts? Recently had to replace the strobe power supply in my Long EZE. In order to install the new one properly, it is imperative to disconnect the strobe shielding wire at both ends. That is the ‘power’ supply side as well as the ‘lighted’ side. It is relatively easy to disconnect the shielding at the power supply. The lighted end represents a bigger challenge.
It appears at the lighted end that the light assembly has an electrical connector that is unshielded. This connector attaches to the shielded portion of the lighting system. It is here that I need to disconnect the shielding for the system to work. Unfortunately, there is no service loop in this section. I cannot access the connector or the shielded wire to service because there is not slack in the wire. How do I obtain access to the connector? Thanks
