Example Basic Aircraft Test Operation Using The Adts542F - GE ADTS 542 Instruction Manual

Example Basic Aircraft Test Operation using the
ADTS542F
Preparation for Testing
If unfamiliar with the features and functions of the ADTS5XXF then it is important for operators to read
and understand the following documents before use:
• Safety and Installation Guide K0554.
• User Manual K0553 (this document).
If the ADTS542F proposed for use has just been delivered, been stored for an extended period or the
operability is unknown for any reason, then perform a standard serviceability test of the ADTS before
use on aircraft. Details of this test can be found in section Standard Serviceability Test.
Familiarise yourself with all aircraft specific test requirement s, personal and aircraft safety precau-
tions from the manufacturer's Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM).
Aircraft Connections
Firstly, consider where to place the ADTS base unit such that it can be safely accessed by the operator
but also has practical routes for piping to the aircraft ports that will not get knocked or damaged
during test operations. This may be either on the hangar/apron floor or a cockpit level gantry.
Any difference in height between the ADTS front panel and the aircraft ports must be configured on
the ADTS as an altitude correction (see section Positioning the ADTS). If working on the aircraft
outdoors, the signal strength of the radio data link to the ADTS Touch will be optimised if the ADTS is
placed with line of sight to the cockpit windows.
Assess the hose lengths that will be required and procure either from Druck or local stores. The
ADTS5XXF can be supplied with low temperature red and blue flexible hoses if requested when
procuring your ADTS. Hose lengths are customizable to a preferred length. A configurable label kit is
provided so that Ps and Pt channel colour coding may be set in line with regional standards. The hoses
do not come fitted with standard pressure fittings as these should be specified at the time of
purchase.
The direct connections to the aircraft Pitot and Static ports should be made using the adaptor set
approved in the AMM, or using equivalents supplied by a specialist port adaptor manufacturer.
