1 DESCRIPTION
1.1 Introduction
There are two versions of the ADTS 405, a 19″, 6U high (10½”) rack-mounted unit and a flight line unit.

The ADTS 405 is a rack-mounted system and, with external pressure and vacuum supplies connected, provides measurement and control for leak checks, calibration accuracy
checks and functional tests of air data instruments, components and systems.

The ADTS 405F is a self-contained flight-line air data test system providing complete pressure and vacuum measuring and control for on-aircraft sense and leak testing,
calibration accuracy checks and functional tests of air data instruments, components and
systems. The unit comprises an electronics rack and pump rack enclosed in a high density,
polyethylene case.

The ADTS 405 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

1

systems, one for static and one for pitot. They can be operated as measure only channels

with leak testing facility or each can be control channels producing true pressure

conditions for altitude and airspeed.

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 operator when both channels are safely at `ground’.

The operator interface is either an ATEX certified hand terminal connected to the front panel or the key pad and display on the front panel. Both provide information and control selections for the user through the keys and display. The unit can also be controlled remotely using the IEEE 488 communications interface. The front panel contains the operate switch and a mimic panel with LED indicators showing the operation of the solenoid-operated pneumatic valves.

The pump rack, on the ADTS 405F, produces pressure and vacuum supplies for the electronics rack and for external services. Located on the front panel, the external connectors provide for external pressure and vacuum supplies (EXT PRESSURE and EXT VACUUM) and an auxiliary static (vacuum) output (AUX). The rack is cooled by a fan located under a protective cover on the front panel. The power supply connection for the ADTS 405F is located on the front panel.

Note:

Compressing a gas generates heat. Gas heated or cooled in an enclosed volume causes a pressure change. It is important, especially for leak testing, to allow enough time for the heated gas to cool and the pressure to stabilize. When setting the rate timer consider three factors:
1 The volume of the system to be tested (large volumes take longer to stabilize). 2 The pressure change (the higher the change the greater heat generated). 3 The ambient air temperature.

The system checks all data entered against minimum and maximum limits set for the particular limit set in use. If these limits are exceeded, the data entry is ignored and a warning message displayed showing the minimum and maximum values that can be entered. The system also checks all limits of associated parameters. If these limits are exceeded when a new value is entered, the display shows the name of the associated parameter. e.g., If a Mach limit is exceeded when entering an airspeed value the display shows “Mach” and the equivalent maximum and minimum limits as airspeed values. Similarly, if an ARINC 565 limit is exceeded when entering a value and, ARINC limits are enabled, the display shows `ARINC’.

K114 Issue No. 9

Operation

Using the SETUP function, previously stored sets of limits can be recalled for use. Each set of limits is stored under an aircraft name. Three pre-defined sets of limits
“Standard”, “Civil” and “Max” limits are supplied with the ADTS 405.

Note:

The ADTS 405, when delivered, contains “Standard” and “Civil” limits; to set and store “Max” limits, for the first time, enter configuration. The “Max” limits depend on the range of the pitot channel either 850 or 1000 knots, see section 1.3, operating limits.

To select the limits in use:
Press SETUP. Select [LIMITS]. Use [NEXT] or [PREV] to select the limits required. Each set of limits
is identified by its name, including the pre-defined sets of limits (“Standard”, “Civil” and “Max” see section 1.3, operating limits). Select [SEL] to select the limits. Press QUIT/CLEAR to return to the pressure display.

Using the CONFIGuration function, new sets of limits can be created and existing sets of limits can be edited. In addition, the set of limits in use at power-up can be selected. If
required, this selection can be locked to prevent unauthorised changing of the limits.

Auto recovery facilities
The pressure controllers in the ADTS 405 can “feed” a leak in an aircraft system. When first testing an aircraft system, a leak test must be carried out at low altitude and airspeed.

If, during a leak test, a leak in the system produces a rate of climb greater than the rate set in limits or a rate of change of airspeed greater than the rate set in limits, then the
pressure controllers automatically regain control to minimise damage to the aircraft
system. This AUTO LEAK RECOVERY facility can be disabled.

If a leak causes the system pressures to exceed any limit during a leak test, the pressure controllers automatically regain control. This AUTO LIMIT RECOVERY system
can be disabled.

If negative airspeed (or Qc) occurs in measure mode, the zero value is automatically opened for one second to balance the airspeed. This only applies when the minimum
CAS (or Qc) limit is zero.

Limits cannot be changed with SETUP switched off or Limit Lock enabled.

Operation

Airspeed Switch test The following example shows how an airspeed switch an be functionally checked.

Note: For low airspeed switches (i.e. 130 knots) the Pt Only facility could be used.

Press LEAK MEASURE/CONTROL to enter control mode. Press SPEED/Qc.
If necessary, press RATE and enter a change of airspeed low enough to observe switch operation.

Enter an Aim value below the operating limits of the switch (i.e., airspeed switch operating at 130 knots ±2 knots set 127 knots).

Press ENTER and observe the airspeed changing. Using the nudge facility, set to an appropriate step value, increase the Aim value.

Increase the Aim until the switch operates (contacts close) and record the value.

Change the Aim to above the airspeed operating range (i.e. 133 knots). Repeat the steps, decreasing the Aim value until the airspeed switch operates (contacts open) and
record value.

This procedure can be repeated. If many operations of a switch are required use the oscillating facility detailed in Full Set-up. The above method can be used for the other
parameters:

Examples:

Altitude switch – low altitude warning

– landing gear configuration warning

– height lock

Mach switch

– Speed brake scheduling

– Mach cruise lock

Operation

3.15 Testing Aircraft Systems or UUT
WARNING: OBSERVE THE APPROPRIATE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEDURES DETAILED IN THE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUALS OR COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUALS.
Connect the hoses and appropriate adaptors to the aircraft system or UUT.
To make sure that the connections to the aircraft system or UUT are not leaking carry out a leak test detailed in the appropriate aircraft or component manual.
3.15.1 Go To Ground and Shut-down
On completion of testing and, before disconnecting from the aircraft system or UUT, the pressures in the system must be taken to the local atmospheric pressure (ground) with zero airspeed.
If the display shows “Leak Measure”, press LEAK MEASURE/CONTROL. Press GROUND, F1, [Go To Ground]. Wait for the display to show “Safe At Ground”. It is now safe to
disconnect the aircraft system or UUT.
The pressure in the system changes towards ground. The ground pressure or “Ground” replaces the static or altitude aim value.
If required, new rates of change can be entered while going to ground. To change the ROC or static rate, press ROC/Ps Rate and enter the new value. To change the airspeed or Qc rate, press SPEED/Qc then RATE and enter the new
value.
To change from going to ground, enter a new altitude (static) or airspeed (Qc) set-point. When the airspeed reaches zero and the Ps channel pressure nears ground, the
system re-measures atmospheric pressure to update the recorded ground pressure (QFE). During this period, the display shows the message “Checking Ground”. The ADTS 405 then reconnects to the aircraft system and equalises the system pressures. Commands cannot be entered when these two messages are displayed.
The Ps channel pressure is then taken to the new recorded atmospheric pressure and, at this new pressure, the display shows the message “Safe At Ground”. The ground vent and zero valves remain open to keep the aircraft system vented to atmosphere.
Press CLEAR/QUIT to continue with normal operation. The ground vent and zero valves automatically close.

(7) Check that the Ps, Qc and Pt rates are less than or equal to ±0.5 mbar/min. If the leak rate is not achieved, allow further thermal stabilization time and re-test by pressing RATE TIMER and selecting [WAIT 05:00], [TIME 01:00].

(8) Press CLEAR/QUIT to exit rate display.

Vacuum Leak Check This section verifies that the unit is leak tight under vacuum conditions.

(1) Press LEAK MEASURE/CONTROL to enter control mode. The display shows “Aim” in place of “Leak Measure”.

(2) Enter a Ps aim of 100 mbar by pressing: ALT/Ps, 1, 0, 0, ENTER

(3) Enter a Qc aim of 0 mbar by pressing: SPEED/Qc, 0, ENTER

(4) Wait the required time for temperature stabilization e.g., one minute. Press LEAK MEASURE/CONTROL return to Leak Measure mode.

(5) Press RATE TIMER and select [WAIT 05:00], [TIME 01:00]. Observe that the “Waiting” time is shown on the display as it counts down, followed by the “Timing” time.

(6) At the end of the “Timing” period, press ROC/Ps RATE to display the measured rate of change of Ps (“T” is shown after the value indicating a timed average).

(7) Check that the Ps, Qc and Pt rates are less than or equal to ±0.5 mbar/min. If the leak rate is not achieved, allow further thermal stabilization time and re-test by pressing RATE TIMER and selecting [WAIT 05:00], [TIME 01:00].

(8) Press CLEAR/QUIT to exit special rate time display.

Controller Stability This section verifies the control stability.
(1) Press LEAK MEASURE/CONTROL to turn the pressure controllers on. “Aim” replaces “Leak Measure” on the display.
(2) Enter a Ps aim of 510 mbar with a rate of change of 204 mbar/min. by pressing the following: ALT/Ps, 5, 1, 0, ENTER, Ps RATE, 2, 0, 4, ENTER.
(3) Enter a Qc aim of 0 mbar with a rate of change of 204 mbar/min. by pressing the following: SPEED/Qc, 0, ENTER, RATE, 2, 0, 4, ENTER.
(4) Press Ps and wait for the aim values to be achieved.
(5) If auto-zero is enabled, wait for an auto-zero to take place. During auto zero, the valve state changes on the mimic panel and the display shows “Zero” in place of the airspeed aim value. The time to auto-zero should be less than 1 minute from achieving the aim value.
(6) Wait for a minimum of 20 seconds after auto-zero before proceeding.
(7) Observe the measured values of Ps and Qc on the display for 1 min.
(8) Check that the displayed value of Ps remains within ±0.068 mbar.
(9) Check that the displayed value of Qc remains within ±0.068 mbar.
Note: If a further auto zero takes place, allow the display to stabilize following the auto zero before proceeding.

5.7 Testing an Option Facility
The following tests should only be carried out if the serviceability of an option facility is suspected or when an error occurs.

Testing the IEEE 488 Facility
This IEEE 488 facility requires specialist knowledge of both IEEE 488 communications and test programming for specified, authorized test procedures. Only qualified personnel should use this facility, the test procedure must be authorized by the appropriate engineering authority.

To enable and disable this IEEE 488 facility access the configuration menu. When enabled, this facility will be available from power-up of the ADTS 405 with the settings
held in non-volatile memory.

Configuring and Enabling the IEEE 488 Facility
To enable the IEEE 488, set the ADTS 405 to the SCPI IEEE option and set to Address 1 as follows:

Press and hold down F1 then press SETUP to enter the configuration menu. Release both keys.
If requested, enter PIN details.
Press [MORE], [DISPLAY/OPTIONS], [OPTIONS], [IEEE-488], [SCPI/OPT2].
Check the display shows that SCPI is selected, if the settings are correct, press CLEAR/QUIT until the display shows the main pressure display, run the test program below.
If the display does not show that SCPI is selected, press [SCPI].

Press CLEAR/QUIT, [DEVICE ADDRESS].

Check the address displayed is 1.

Testing and Fault Finding

Programming a Test of the IEEE 488 Facility
There are many different programs and items of equipment for communicating over the IEEE 488 interface. In the following example, the user must be familiar with the IEEE 488 bus controller to be used.

The following example commands can be used to check for correct operation of the IEEE 488 interface.
Initialize the bus controller as follows:

Set Address 1 as the talker listener address.

Make sure that bus time-out periods are set sufficiently high (e.g., 5 seconds).

Set the bus controller to send EOI with last byte and to expect EOI on last byte of

received data.

Send interface clear (IEEE 488 command).

Send “SOURCE:STATE OFF” (one space between STATE and OFF).

Send “SOURCE:STATE?”

Instruct device 1 to TALK and input the response string.

The response string should be “OFF”.

(1) If the above procedure is unsuccessful, check the continuity of the IEEE 488 cable.

(2) If faulty, replace the cable.

(3) If the continuity of the cable is correct, return the ADTS 405 to the repair depot.
