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
precautions 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 provision either from the ADTS5XXF delivery kit
or from local stores. The ADTS5XXF is supplied with low temperature red and blue flexible hoses
at 3m length as standard, but longer hoses may be requested to order. A configurable label kit
is provided so that Ps and Pt channel colour coding may be set in line with regional standards.
Both of the standard hoses come with ready fitted AN4 size fittings suitable for the ADTS Ps and
Pt output ports.
The other end of each hose is open to allow users to fit hose extensions or other pressure adap-
tors as required.
