SECTION B: ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS:

A. GENERAL INFORMATION:

CAUTION:
ALWAYS OBEY THE PRECAUTIONS THAT FOLLOW TO KEEP ELECTRICAL
WIRING IN A SATISFACTORY CONDITION (ELECTRICALLY AND
MECHANICALLY SERVICEABLE). WHEN YOU DO MAINTENANCE WORK,
REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS, ALWAYS KEEP ELECTRICAL WIRING,
COMPONENTS AND THE WORK AREA AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. TO DO THIS:

 PUT PROTECTION, SUCH AS PLASTIC SHEETING, CLOTHS, ETC. AS NECESSARY ON WIRING AND
COMPONENTS
 REGULARLY REMOVE ALL SHAVINGS, UNWANTED MATERIAL AND OTHER CONTAMINATION.

THESE PRECAUTIONS WILL DECREASE THE RISK OF CONTAMINATION

AND DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL WIRING INSTALLATION.
IF THERE IS CONTAMINATION, REFER TO ESPM 20-55-00.

WARNING:
PUT WARNING NOTICES IN THE COCKPIT TO TELL PERSONS NOT TO OPERATE THE FLIGHT CONTROLS.
THE MOVEMENT OF THE TRIMMABLE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER (THS) CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS.

B. WORK INSTRUCTION:

1. Energize the aircraft electrical circuits per AMM TASK 24-41-00-861-002. Make sure that FDR is powered and the
unit is free of fault.
NOTES: Portable Interface obtains electrical power from FDR for its operations.
Do not remove the FDR from the mounting tray when performing this EI.

2. Put warning notices in the cockpit in position to tell persons not to operate the flight controls.

3. Put the access platform in position at the access panel 312AR. Open the access panel 312AR and set the light switch
3LJ to the on position.

4. Inspect the Underwater Locator Beacon (ULB) and record the P/N, S/N, and Expiry/Replace Date of the ULB in
Appendix 2.

NOTE: If the P/N, S/N and Expiry/Replace Date are not readable, remove and reinstall the ULB as per AMM
TASK 31-33-55-920-001.

5. Loosen the FDR nameplate nuts and push the nameplate upwards to gain access to the FDR’s GSE Connector.
Refer to Figure 1 for nameplate location.
NOTE: To energize and de-energize the DFDR it is necessary to push the GND/CTR pushbutton on the overhead
panel 21VU
6. Connect the Portable Interface Connector to the FDR’s GSE Connector.

8. If download failed, record information below and perform step 7 again. If problem persist, abort this EI.
(a) Stage of process where download failed.
Ex. Before Progress screen appear, During Progress Screen countdown or After Progress Screen count to
zero.
(b) Confirm progress screen counting as per normal.
(c) Abnormal findings
(d) Record PI error message.
Note: Appropriate error message will appear on the PI screen. The copy error message will persist until the green MENU
