1INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

 The ADTS 505 is a self-contained flight-line air data test system, enclosed in an ABS case. The

unit provides complete pressure and vacuum measuring and control for on-aircraft sense and leak testing, functional tests of air data instruments, components and systems.

 The ADTS 505 displays and operates in either units of pressure measurement or aeronautical

units. In the control mode, the rate that the pressures change towards new set-points can be controlled in true aeronautical rate units.

 There are two independent pneumatic channels connect to the aircraft or instrument systems,

one for static and one for pitot. They can be operated as measure only channels with leak testing facilities or each can be control channels producing true pressure conditions for altitude and airspeed. Two pneumatic outlet ports, on the front panel and identified as Ps (static) and Pt (pitot) provide connection to the aircraft system or unit under test.

 To protect sensitive instruments and equipment a `ground' facility automatically and safely

controls both channels to atmospheric pressure at the previously entered rates of change and then informs the user when both channels are safely at `ground'.

 Pre-defined sets of limits, stored in the system, prevent excessive pressures and rates

damaging aircraft systems and components. A further five sets of operating limits can be defined by the supervisor or quality assurance engineer. The user can select sets of limits but cannot change the values.

 The user interface is either the key-pad and display on the front panel or one of two types of

optional hand terminal connected to the front panel. The two types of hand terminal are identified as option A and option B.

 The option A hand terminal contains all the facilities of the front panel key-pad and display.

The key-pad contains fixed function keys used to select various parameters, modes and enter numeric values. The display shows various menus, each menu provides selections using six menu-defined function keys.

 The option B advanced hand terminal is a computer-based device that contains all the facilities

of option A on a touch-sensitive, Windows® display, colour screen. It also up-loads and downloads user-defined test programs and displays the resulting test data.

 The integral pumps of the ADTS 505, produce pressure and vacuum supplies for the unit's

controlling requirements. The power supply connection for the unit is located on the front panel.

2.6 Positioning of the ADTS 505

WARNING: IN AN ENCLOSED AREA WITH FUEL VAPOUR PRESENT THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE

PLACED AT LEAST 0.5 METRES ABOVE FLOOR LEVEL. THIS EQUIPMENT CONTAINS A D.C. MOTOR WITH BRUSHES THAT COULD CAUSE A SPARK.

AUTION:TO OPERATE, PLACE THE UNIT ON A HORIZONTAL SURFACE (FRONT PANEL UPPERMOST) OR VERTICALLY

(

POWER SUPPLY CONNECTOR UPPERMOST) THIS ALLOWS THE WATER IN THE WATER FILTER TO VENT.

ATER COULD CONTAMINATE THE CONTROLLER MANIFOLD AND AFFECT CONTROLLER PERFORMANCE.

Note: In control mode, the water drain, located at one end of the unit near the carrying handle, produces

a flow of air and some water. The amount of water depends on the humidity and the operating time in control mode.

AUTION:BEFORE USE, CHECK THE WATER DRAIN PIPE, IT MUST BE FREE OF OBSTRUCTION. WHEN IN CONTROL

MODE CHECK THAT A SMALL FLOW OF AIR COMES OUT OF THE DRAIN PIPE.

Notes:

1 When checking for a small flow of air do not block the drain pipe completely this causes a back-

pressure in the pipe and controller instability.

2 If no air flows from the drain pipe, when in control mode, switch off and start again. If no air

flows after a re-start, switch off and do not use the ADTS 505, return the unit to the repair depot.

AUTION: THE SIDE VENTS MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED, THIS UNIT REQUIRES AN AIRFLOW FOR THE INTERNAL COOLING FANS.

 It is important that the position of the ADTS 505 in relation to the aircraft altitude sensors is

known. An altitude correction must be made to allow for the difference in height between the reference level and the aircraft's altitude sensors (Figures 2-2 and 2-3). The Reference section contains details of altitude correction.

WARNING: OBSERVE THE APPROPRIATE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND TESTING PROCEDURES

DETAILED IN THE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUALS AND COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUALS.
