ECB - Light Wig-Wag function

Post by viper22 »

Trying to understand how to wiring the following:

1. LED Taxi light wired to position 1 on ECB with external switch for on/off
2. LED Landing light wired to position 2 on ECB with external switch for on/off
3. How is Wig-Wag wired then with external switch?

I want to be able to turn on each light individually and also when I want to WIG-WAG just turn on a WIG-WAG switch.
Thanks!

That's not the way this is intended to work.
You switch between lights on, off and wig wag using a connected compatible EFIS system.

I've never quite understood the sequence for my wig-wag function.
On powerup mine works one of the following two ways :
turn switch on and lights go on.
Off and on again and you have the wig-wag.
If you want to repeat this process you have to cycle the switch on/off and then back on to get lights.
OR
Same as above on powerup except you have to cycle the switch on/off and then on to get the lights :roll:
I have never understood this on/off cycle that does nothing
