1 System description
The Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) is an integrated recording and monitoring
system. The HUMS provides the AB-139 helicopter with structural and transmission usage
monitoring (TUM), transmission vibration monitoring (TVM), rotor track and balance (RTB), and
engine power assurance (EPA) recording. The HUMS is intended to improve airworthiness,
improve availability, and reduce the cost of ownership of each aircraft by detecting and
diagnosing potential failures, actual failures, monitoring usage, and providing information for
potential maintenance action.
The HUMS consists of an On-Board System (OBS) for monitoring and recording and a HUMS
Ground Station (HGS) for detailed analysis and diagnosis of potential or actual aircraft vibration
and usage-related maintenance actions which may be required. Data collected by HUMS
sensors is transferred between the OBS and HGS through the use of a Data Transfer Device
(DTD). Through the DTD, aircraft specific initialization and configuration data can also be
uploaded into the HUMS. The HUMS provides an operator display for access to aircraft and
usage data as well as initiating built-in test (BIT) of the system and interfacing sensors, and
performing RTB and EPA checks. In addition, when a universal tracking device (UTD) referred
to as a rotor blade tracker (RBT) is fitted to the aircraft, HUMS provides the operator the ability
to perform a variety of rotor tuning measurements.
1.1 Component description
The HUMS Line Replaceable Units (LRU) are listed in paragraph 1.2 and illustrated in figure 1.

1 Data acquisition unit

The Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) (figure 1) is the system’s interface with the Health and Usage
Monitoring System (HUMS) dedicated sensors as well as other aircraft sensors and interfaces.
The DAU performs all of the HUMS on-board monitoring and control functions. The DAU
receives its inputs from the aircraft Modular Avionic Unit (MAU) via an ARINC 429 serial
interface and other dedicated aircraft sensors (accelerometers, tachometers, etc.). The DAU
processes these inputs and performs required analysis based on program execution and
ground station entered configuration data. The DAU provides outputs to the operator via the
Cockpit Display Unit/Data Transfer Unit (CDU/DTU) in the form of visual (CDU) and recorded
information on a Data Transfer Device (DTD) installed in the DTU. The DAU electronics are
housed within an ARINC 404 form factor, one-half Air Transport Rack (ATR) short chassis.
The DAU is comprised of three main functional sub-assemblies:

• Enhanced Data Processing Unit (EDPU)
• Vibration Acquisition Unit (VAU)
• Auxiliary Acquisition and Tracker Power Supply (AATPS)
The EDPU assembly transmits and receives data to and from the aircraft MAU via an ARINC
429 serial interface. The EDPU will process, display, and/or store data as directed by its
internal software and operator selected configuration. The EDPU also receives operator inputs
from and sends display data to the CDU.
The VAU assembly receives and processes vibration frequency information from transmission
and airframe vibration sensors and speed sensors. This information is used in the processing
of HUMS health, usage, and maintenance data. If a Rotor Blade Tracker (RBT) is installed, the
VAU will also receive this information and process this data for rotor tuning operations.
The AATPS assembly processes the data from an aircraft load sensing accelerometer and
provides the power for the RBT if one is installed on the aircraft. CDU/DTU display lighting is
also controlled through the AATPS assembly.

The Cockpit Display Unit/Data Transfer Unit (CDU/DTU) (figure 1) is a dual function unit in a
common housing. The CDU portion provides the Health and Usage Monitoring System
(HUMS) primary control and display functions while the DTU portion provides the means of
transferring data to and from the HUMS to the ground equipment. The CDU/DTU is located in
a cockpit console.
The CDU function consists of a sixteen character, two-line alphanumeric, Night Vision Imaging
System (NVIS) compatible display, a keypad, and signal conversion circuits. The keyboard
consists of special function and cursor keys for data entry and display (figure 2), and system
control. The CDU keypad provides the means of accessing CDU displays and entering various
operation-related data. Table 1 describes the CDU key functions. The CDU communicates
with the Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) via a dedicated bi-directional serial RS-422 bus.
The DTU portion provides the interface between a Personal Computer Memory Card
International Association (PCMCIA) card, also referred to as the Data Transfer Device (DTD),
and HUMS via a dedicated bi-directional serial RS-422 bus. The DTU is used for the loading of
DAU initialization data, configuration parameters and for recording of aircraft HUMS data for
use by the ground station. The CDU/DTU operates on aircraft supplied 28 VDC. The
CDU/DTU also receives aircraft 5 VDC power for pushbutton lighting.

1 General
The Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) employs the use of accelerometers for
vibration monitoring and tachometers for speed monitoring. The following paragraphs provide
a description of each of these types of sensors.
2 Accelerometers
For the purpose of vibration and load sense monitoring, the HUMS utilizes three different types
of accelerometers:
• Transmission vibration monitoring (TVM)
• Rotor track and balance (RTB)
• Load factor
A total of 15 accelerometers are placed at strategic locations throughout the aircraft to monitor
transmission, drive train, and rotor related aircraft vibrations. The accelerometers are used to
acquire vibration data, which is provided to the Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) Vibration
Acquisition Unit (VAU). The raw data acquired from each accelerometer (sine waves in
multiple frequency bands) is interpreted, filtered and manipulated by algorithmic software in the
DAU. The refined data then provides signature frequencies and normal characteristics for each
rotating element (gears, bearing assemblies and shafts) of the aircraft. This signature data is
then used to establish the normal vibration characteristics for each rotating element. With this
data, the HUMS then establishes acceptable limits and tolerances for each rotating element.
Via configurable software, the parameters of acceptable limits and tolerances can be modified
to establish when the system should notify the operator or technician that a limit has been
exceeded or a potential problem exists.
In addition, a separate load factor sensing accelerometer monitors aircraft acceleration in the
vertical direction to measure the aircraft load factor.
The following paragraphs provide a brief description each of the three types of monitoring
accelerometers used in the HUMS. Table 1 lists the accelerometer number, general location,
and a brief general description.

Chapter 1.4
TDM 2128

2.1 Transmission vibration monitoring accelerometer

The HUMS utilizes 11 Transmission Vibration Monitoring (TVM) accelerometers to facilitate
transmission and drivetrain vibration monitoring. These accelerometers have a sensitivity of
10mV/G. The TVM accelerometers are hermetically sealed, piezo-electric, annular shear type
accelerometers with integral electronics. The accelerometer and electronics have an insulated,
double shielded, housing and are electrically isolated from the accelerometer case. The
accelerometer case is a through-hole design with a centre bolt. The accelerometers have side
mounted electrical connections allowing for the accelerometer to be mounted using a single
centre bolt with the cable extended parallel to the mounting surface. Refer to Table 1 for
accelerometer numbers, location, and a basic description.
2.2 Rotor track and balance accelerometer
The Rotor Track and Balance (RTB) accelerometers are used to support rotor track and
balance vibration measurements and rotor tuning operations. The HUMS uses 4 RTB
accelerometers which are mounted near the aircraft main and tail rotors to monitor rotor related
and asynchronous vibration components. These accelerometers are hermetically sealed piezo-
electric accelerometers with integral electronics and have a sensitivity of 25mV/G. The
accelerometer and electronics are electrically isolated from the accelerometer case and are a
stud-mounted package with an integral electrical connector. Refer to table 1 for accelerometer
number, location, and description.
2.3 Load factor accelerometer
The load factor accelerometer is designed to sense aircraft vertical acceleration, which enables
the DAU to calculate the aircraft load factor. The accelerometer is a hermetically sealed
instrument for simultaneous measurement on one vertical axis. The accelerometer consists of
an internal seismic sensor and integral signal conditioning electronics capable of measuring
acceleration in the vertical direction between +6g(up) to -3g(down). The load factor
accelerometer operates on aircraft 28 VDC; and is mounted in the main cabin floor.

3 Tachometers
The HUMS uses speed sensing tachometers to measure rotor and drive train frequencies to
perform component usage and health monitoring. The frequency (speed) data provided by the
tachometers is used to determine component operating speeds and augment accelerometer
data for transmission vibration monitoring (TVM) measurements. Refer to Table 2 for
tachometer details.
3.1 Main rotor tachometer
The HUMS main rotor tachometer is a Variable Reluctance Speed Sensor (VRS) that measures
main rotor speed and provides this information to the HUMS DAU in the form of an analogue
signal. The tachometer is housed in a stainless steel cylinder and attached near the main rotor.
The tachometer is fully self-contained and powered. The tachometer has a coil resistance of
910 to 1200 ohms and is capable of providing a minimum output of 190V peak to peak. The
main rotor tachometer provides a one pulse per revolution output.
3.2 Tail rotor tachometer
The HUMS tail rotor tachometer is also a VRS that is similar in appearance and operation of the
main rotor tachometer described in the previous paragraph. The tail rotor tachometer is
attached near the tail rotor assembly. The tachometer has a coil resistance of 275 to 330 ohms
and is capable of providing a minimum output of 55 V peak to peak. The tail rotor tachometer
provides a one pulse per revolution output.
3.3 Drivetrain tachometer
The drivetrain tachometer installed on the main gearbox provides a multi-pulse (29 pulses/rev)
output of transmission rotation speed. The output is a high frequency sinusoidal signal input to
the DAU.

1 Introduction
The Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) is an aircraft health and usage monitoring
system. The HUMS provides transmission health monitoring, rotor track and balance (RTB),
rotor health monitoring, and aircraft and transmission usage monitoring. Aircraft data is
acquired from the aircraft Modular Avionics Unit (MAU) and dedicated sensors and processed
by the onboard system element of the system to provide health and usage data. This data is
stored on a Data Transfer Device (DTD) for subsequent download to the HUMS Ground
System (HGS). The HGS provides for additional processing and analysis of the HUMS data.
The data acquisition and processing of certain HUMS functions are configurable. The
initialization information is loaded onto the DTD via the HGS for subsequent upload into the On-
Board System (OBS). The DTD is also used as the means to upload new configuration data to
the OBS.
The HUMS theory of operation is divided into the following areas of discussion:
• Equipment Interface
• HUMS Initialization and Startup
• DTD Operations
• HUMS Operations and Regimes
• Data Acquisition and Processing
• Transmission Vibration Monitoring (TVM)
• Usage Monitoring
• Rotor Track and Balance (RTB) Operation
• Engine Power Assurance (EPA)
• Built In Test (BIT)
2 Equipment Interface
The onboard element of HUMS is comprised of the Data Acquisition Unit (DAU), Cockpit
Display Unit/Data Transfer Unit (CDU/DTU), and several accelerometers and tachometers.
The functional interconnect of the airborne system components is shown in Figure 1.
The HUMS acquires aircraft-related data through an ARINC 429 serial interface with the aircraft
Modular Avionics Unit (MAU). Serial data is received from the MAU to HUMS for monitoring,
processing, and storage on the DTD and HUMS status information is transmitted back to the
MAU. Two RS-422 serial data channels are used to communicate with the HUMS CDU/DTU.
One serial channel is used to communicate with the CDU portion to transfer display data to the
CDU and receive keypad data back from the CDU. The other serial channel is used to transfer
data to and from a DTD installed in the DTU portion of the CDU/DTU. HUMS continuously
monitors both the ARINC 429 and RS-422 communication channels to ensure proper
communications are maintained. If any channel becomes inoperative, the user is notified with
an advisory message on the CDU/DTU display.
Accelerometers are installed in various locations on the aircraft transmissions to detect the
vibrations produced by the various transmission-associated components. Accelerometer
outputs are connected directly to the DAU where the analog voltages are converted to digital
and processed for use in vibration monitoring, rotor track and balance, and rotor tuning
calculations. A special type of accelerometer called a vertical load sensing accelerometer is
used to detect vibration levels in the vertical direction. Power is supplied separately to this

Chapter 1.5
2006-2-24 Page 2 of 18
TDM 2128
UNCLASSIFIED
accelerometer from the aircraft +28 Vdc power source. Remaining analog input signals to
HUMS are received by 3 tachometers. The output values from these represent the speed
values for the rotating components they are connected to. The DAU interfaces to one
additional analog speed input from a temporary fit Universal Blade Tracker referred to as Rotor
Blade Tracker (RBT). When an RBT is installed, the DAU provides the +24 Vdc power to the
RBT as well as the power to the RBT lamp if being used at night. Control of both operating
power and lamp power is done through the CDU/DTU via operator selection. The output signal
from the RBT is a pulse train and is used in rotor tuning calculations.
The HUMS DAU and CDU/DTU receive +28 Vdc power from the aircraft through a dedicated
circuit breaker(s). The +5 Vdc lighting power from the pedestal lighting supply is also applied to
both the DAU and CDU/DTU. The +5 Vdc applied to the CDU/DTU is used to control the
brightness level of the pushbutton switches. The +5 Vdc supplied the DAU is used to monitor
the voltage level of the lighting. The DAU converts the voltage to a digital value then supplies a
digital lighting level code to the CDU/DTU over the RS-422 channel where the code is
translated into the correct voltage for the alphanumeric display.

3 HUMS Initialization and Startup

3.1 Initialization
The HUMS requires several configurable parameters for normal operation. Some of these
parameters are preloaded at the factory while others are aircraft specific and must be loaded
prior to using HUMS for the first time. Those parameters loaded at the factory are referred to
as configuration parameters and typically are not changed unless the operational software
within the DAU has been updated by the factory. If configuration parameters do require
updating in the field, HUMS provides the capability to upload new configuration data through
the use of a special configuration DTD.
When a HUMS DAU is first installed into an aircraft, certain aircraft specific values must be
initialized before an operation can begin. These parameters are referred to as initialization
parameters and affect logbook and usage monitoring functions. The initialization values are
generated on the ground station and transferred to a DTD as an initialization file. The operator
performs an initialization upload to load HUMS DAU non-volatile memory with the aircraft
specific data. Once these values are loaded into the DAU for the first time, they only need to
be updated when the HUMS DAU is replaced or new values from the ground station are
desired.
3.2 Startup
Upon power application, HUMS performs a predefined startup sequence controlled by the
Enhanced Digital Processing Unit (EDPU) control program in the DAU. Immediately at power
up, the first task performed is Startup Built-in Test (SBIT). Refer to paragraph 10.1 for a
description of SBIT. SBIT checks all internal functions of the DAU, checks the externally
connected sensors, and checks the CDU/DTU. Following completion of SBIT, the DAU checks
to make sure a correctly configured DTD is installed in the CDU/DTU and the amount of space
left in each of the files on the DTD. The DTD must have been previously formatted and
initialized on the ground station in order for HUMS to record data to it. After completion of all
DTD checks, the DAU checks for communication with the MAU and obtains the aircraft
identification number and the time and date to be used by HUMS. If the time or date received
from the MAU is not received, the operator can enter new values through the CDU/DTU. The
values entered are only used by HUMS and don't affect any other aircraft system values. The
aircraft identification number received from the MAU is compared with the identification number
stored in HUMS non-volatile memory (NVM) to ensure both agree. If the aircraft ID checks
good, HUMS system processing will begin.
3.3 DTD operations
Normal operation of HUMS relies on having a DTD installed upon power application. A DTD
must be present in order for HUMS data to be recorded onto the DTD for later analysis on the
ground station. The DTD provides sufficient capacity to store data for 25 operating hours. If
any of the HUMS vibration data files or engine power assurance (EPA) data files on the DTD
become full, recording is stopped or the data is overwritten on a first in first out basis. To stop
recording or to overwrite the data is configurable on a file-by-file basis. The same DTD can be
used interchangeably on any HUMS-equipped aircraft so long as there is sufficient space left
on the DTD for recording. HUMS will operate without a DTD installed; however, no data can be
stored for later analysis. HUMS will store current operation usage data within its memory
during an operation and if a DTD is subsequently inserted before an operation is completed the
data will be written to the DTD without any loss. If a DTD is inserted after the completion of a
HUMS operation, no data will be written to the DTD.

4 HUMS operations and ground/flight regimes

All HUMS data collections are based on "HUMS operations". HUMS operation start and stop
times are defined by certain aircraft conditions as shown in Table 1.
Table 1. HUMS operation start/stop criteria

Operation Criteria
Start A "HUMS Operation" starts when at least one engine gas generator speed
(NG) is greater than 50%.
Stop Both NG below 10% and the aircraft is in GROUND MODE.
During each HUMS operation the HUMS analyzes aircraft data received over the ARINC 429
serial interface and from dedicated HUMS sensors. This information is used to calculate the
aircraft current ground/flight state and determine the current ground/flight regime used for
usage and vibration data collection. Flight regimes are defined as logical combinations of any
of the measured flight parameters divided up to uniquely cover the entire flight envelope of the
aircraft. At any point in time, the aircraft will normally be in one and only one regime.
HUMS flight regime recognition is divided into two separate regime types based on specific
HUMS operations. The two types of HUMS regime recognition are:
• Vibration Acquisition Unit (VAU) (TVM and rotor health monitoring)
• Usage (Structural Usage Monitoring (SUM)

The HUMS is capable of recognizing up to 256 different aircraft regimes. Of these, 64 are
allocated to VAU (TVM) type regimes and 192 are allocated for usage (SUM) type regimes.
HUMS VAU and Usage regimes are configurable and can be uploaded to the aircraft system
using a configuration DTD.
All usage regimes detected by HUMS are recorded in a time history log on the DTD. This log
contains a regime identifier, the time the regime was detected, and the duration of the regime.
HUMS will also monitor and record any detection of any anomalous flight conditions that cause
erroneous regime recognition.
5 Data acquisition and processing

The HUMS acquires and processes aircraft data from the MAU via an ARINC 429 serial
interface. Refer to table 2 for a list of aircraft parameters received by HUMS for processing.
Aircraft data received is used by the various HUMS functions, detecting when certain events
occur, and for calculating various other aircraft parameters such as rotor torque, roll rate, etc.
Parameters received from the aircraft as well as calculated parameters are recorded to the DTD
continuously during an operation. If an input parameter is determined to be invalid by HUMS it
is no longer used by HUMS in any processing or calculations and also recorded as a failure on
the DTD. Certain calculated parameters and parameters received from the MAU are available
to the operator for display on the CDU. Refer to table 3 for a list of those parameters available
for viewing.

6 Transmission vibration monitoring

The HUMS performs vibration monitoring of the transmission components listed in Table 4. The
HUMS monitors the vibration of these components to verify their overall health. Transmission
Vibration Monitoring (TVM) occurs automatically based on certain configured flight regimes.
TVM consists of a suite of diagnostic techniques comprised of shaft, gear and bearing vibration
analysis. If the HUMS configuration parameters have been set up to allow manual vibration
acquisition an acquisition can be initiated manually whenever engines are running by pressing
the EVNT key on the CDU/DTU. This function is only used by maintenance personnel for
diagnosing possible HUMS malfunctions.
The HUMS vibration monitoring acquisition and processing functions are provided by the DAU
VAU. The HUMS utilizes 11 TVM accelerometers to sense transmission and drivetrain
vibrations. In addition, the VAU receives component speed information from 3 aircraft mounted

Chapter 1.5

UNCLASSIFIED
tachometers. The VAU compares the acquired vibration data against configured internal data
parameters and threshold levels. The calculated and raw vibration and speed data are
transferred to the DAU Enhanced Data Processing Unit (EDPU) for storage onto the DTD. The
data is later transferred via the DTD to the HGS for calculation and analysis.
Table 4 lists the components monitored by the HUMS during transmission health monitoring
and the HUMS sensors involved in these measurements. For information on the location of the
dedicated sensors listed in table 4 refer to Chapter 1.4.

7 Rotor track and balance operations

7.1 Rotor health monitoring
The HUMS monitors the health of the main and tail rotors through the use of Rotor Track and
Balance (RTB) accelerometers and rotor tachometer inputs. To calculate rotor unbalance and
other failures, the HUMS uses four RTB accelerometers, The accelerometers are mounted near
the main and tail rotors. The accelerometers monitor rotor related and asynchronous vibration
components. Rotor health monitoring occurs automatically based on certain configured flight
regimes.
Table 5 lists the components monitored by the HUMS during rotor health monitoring and the
HUMS sensors involved in these measurements. For information on the location of the
dedicated sensors listed in the table below, refer to Chapter 1.4.

7.2 Rotor tuning
When an RBT is fitted to the aircraft, the HUMS has the ability to perform rotor track and
balance tuning operations to minimise rotor induced vibration levels. Using the components
listed in Table 5 and the RBT, the HUMS performs blade tracking lead/lag and balance
measurements, when initiated by the operator at the CDU/DTU. Any one of up to eight different
types of measurements to perform is selectable by the operator. Upon completion of the
acquisition, results are displayed on the CDU/DTU and recorded to the DTD. Values for display
and parameters used for rotor tuning are configurable. If an RBT is not installed, HUMS can
still perform rotor tuning balance operations as described above. However, it just will not be
able to collect rotor track data.
Note:
The RBT is an aircraft temporary fit item and is only used when rotor track and lead/lag
measurements and operations are to be performed.
8 Usage monitoring
HUMS usage monitoring provides the operator with a means of recording aircraft operational
(Logbook data), structural, and transmission usage data. Aircraft data is acquired from the
MAU ARINC 429 serial interface and a dedicated HUMS load factor sensor. The aircraft data is
then processed by the DAU based on a set of configurable software routines and flight regimes.
After processing, HUMS usage data is stored in the DAU non-volatile memory (NVM)
(Logbook) and on the DTD (Logbook, SUM, and TUM). Usage monitoring begins at the start of
an operation. Usage data is recorded to the DTD upon completion of an operation. If any
usage file on the DTD becomes 80% full, HUMS will alert the user with an advisory message
identifying the file. Recording to the DTD will continue until the file is 100% full and then either
stop or overwrite earlier data depending upon how the system is configured.
HUMS usage data is divided into three separate functional areas:
• Logbook functions
• Structural usage monitoring (SUM)
• Transmission usage monitoring (TUM)
8.1 Logbook functions
The logbook functions give the operator the ability to view basic aircraft data that may be
recorded in the aircraft logbook. The logbook data is stored in the DAU's NVM and also, on the
DTD for later viewing on the HGS. Logbook data from the last operation or a summary total of
all logbook data can be displayed on the CDU when requested by the operator. Cumulative
logbook totals determined to be invalid will remain invalid until new values are uploaded via the
DTD. Logbook data is comprised of the following aircraft and HUMS operation data.
8.1.1 Operation time
Operation time is the total operating time for the last HUMS operation or the cumulative total
operating time for all HUMS operations. The start of an operation begins when one engine
enters a ground idle and the end of an operation is when the aircraft is on ground and both
engines are shut down. Although only operating time is displayable, the start, stop, operating
and total operating time are written to the DTD for review on the HGS.
8.1.2 Flight time
Flight time is the total flight time for the last HUMS operation or the cumulative total flight time
for all HUMS operations. Flight time begins at takeoff and ends at landing. Although only flight
time is displayable, the takeoff time, landing time, flight time and total flight time are written to
the DTD for review on the HGS.

Chapter 1.5
Change 1 2006-2-24 Page 10 of 18
TDM 2128
UNCLASSIFIED
8.1.3 Flight time fail time

Flight time fail time is the total time during the last operation that the ground/flight status was
detected as being invalid or the cumulative total flight time fail time for all HUMS operations.
8.1.4 Landing count
Landing count is the total number of landings that occurred during the last HUMS operation or
the cumulative total landings for all HUMS operations.
8.1.5 Rotor starts
Rotor starts is the number of rotor starts during the last HUMS operation or the cumulative total
number of rotor starts for all HUMS operations.
8.1.6 Rotor turning time
Rotor turning time is the total time the main rotor has been turning during the last HUMS
operation or the cumulative total time the rotor has been turning for all HUMS operations.
8.1.7 Rotor speed fail time
Rotor speed fail time is the total time during the last operation that the main rotor speed was
detected as being invalid or the cumulative total time the rotor speed was invalid for all HUMS
operations.
8.1.8 One engine inoperative (OEI) time
One engine inoperative (OEI) time is the total time during the last operation that the torque of
an engine was below 10% while in a flight mode or the cumulative total time that engine torque
was below 10% for all HUMS operations.
8.2 Structural usage monitoring (SUM)
During each HUMS operation the HUMS continuously acquires and calculates aircraft flight
data to calculate aircraft structural usage during certain operational time periods (regimes).
Based on the current detected aircraft regime, HUMS SUM processing calculates a moving
average value of the following parameters over the duration of each regime:
• Roll angle
• Pitch angle
• True airspeed
• Longitudinal acceleration
• Ratioed airspeed
• Load factor
• Engine 1 torque
• Engine 2 torque
• Density altitude
• Radio altitude
As part of the Structural Usage Monitoring (SUM) function, the HUMS will generate a SUM log
for each regime detected during a HUMS operation. The SUM log data is recorded on the DTD
at the end of each HUMS operation and includes the averaged values of the parameters
mentioned above and the following additional data:
• Regime identifier
• Regime Time spent in each regime
• Number of SUM failures during a operation
• Aircraft landing counters
The HUMS SUM function also provides two separate counters, a SUM failure time and landing
counters, for use in tracking and recording additional SUM data.

Chapter 1.5
2006-2-24 Page 11 of 18
TDM 2128
UNCLASSIFIED
A SUM failure time counter is used to record the amount of accumulated SUM failure time that
has occurred during a HUMS operation. SUM failures occur when there is a failure in aircraft
regime detection. Sum failure data will be recorded to the DTD at the end of each HUMS
operation.
Three separate landing counters are also provided for tracking and recording the total number
of aircraft landings for the following three separate landing types:
• Normal
• One engine inoperative (OEI)
• Autorotation
The landing totals for all three types of landings are transferred to the DTD at the end of each
HUMS operation.
8.3 Transmission usage monitoring (TUM)
During each HUMS operation the HUMS continuously acquires aircraft engine and rotor data to
track the usage of transmission components. During Transmission Usage Monitoring (TUM)
the HUMS maintains the following two internal logs of TUM data:
• Time history log
• Event log
8.3.1 TUM time history log
The TUM time history log is used to accumulate the amount of time engine and rotor torque and
speed values are within certain program defined bands. The following aircraft data is used in
the TUM history log:
• Engine 1 and 2 torque
• Main and tail rotor torque
• Main rotor speed
In addition to the TUM history log, HUMS also maintains a failure time counter to track the
amount of time any of the TUM history log values are invalid. At the end of the HUMS
operation, the TUM history log, and the failure time counter data are transferred to the DTD.
8.3.2 TUM event log
The HUMS continuously monitors several aircraft parameters to determine if a parameter has
exceeded a pre-defined, software configurable limit. If a parameter has exceeded this
predefined limit HUMS will record the time the exceedance event occurred, the duration of the
event, and the exceeding parameter. This information is recorded on the DTD for later use by
the HGS. The following aircraft parameters are monitored by HUMS for exceedances and entry
into the TUM event log:
• Engine 1 and 2 speed
• Engine 1 and 2 torque
• Main and Tail rotor torque
• Main rotor speed

by initiating an Engine Power Assurance (EPA) check for either engine. The EPA is initiated by
the operator via the CDU and can only be performed in an in-flight configuration.
Once initiated by the operator, the HUMS will verify that the aircraft Engine Air Particle
Separator (EAPS), heater, and anti-ice systems are off. HUMS will also perform a regime
stability check to verify the aircraft regimes required for the EPA are stable and within tolerance
bands for data acquisition. If either of these conditions is not met, HUMS will terminate the
acquisition and inform the operator via a CDU display. Once initiated, EPA checks require
approximately 30 seconds to complete and the results are automatically displayed on the CDU
and recorded on the DTD.
10 System built in test

The HUMS provides an extensive set of built in test (BIT) functions to verify that the system is
operating correctly. The BIT function provides a means of detecting failures within the HUMS
system and interconnecting sensors as well displaying and recording of the BIT results. BIT
also detects RBT failures if the RBT is fitted to the aircraft and powered up. The DAU records
HUMS BIT results to NVM in a BIT log and to the DTD. BIT test failures recorded are latched in
a BIT status word and will not return to a pass condition, even if BIT subsequently passes. BIT
test failures can only be returned to the pass condition when the operator clears the BIT log.
The only exception to this are those failures related to the DTD. If a DTD error is detected and
the operator takes the appropriate corrective action for the failure, the failure will be cleared
automatically by the system without having to clear the BIT log.
BIT results are displayed in two different ways on the CDU. Detailed BIT status is available
through viewing of the HUMS BIT log and a BIT summary is available for viewing on the CDU
top level display in the system status message area. Detailed BIT status is used by
maintenance personnel for troubleshooting and isolating HUMS failures. Accessing and
clearing of the BIT log is accomplished through menu selection on the CDU. The BIT summary
display is primarily intended for the aircrew as an advisory to indicate the status of HUMS and is
not generally used by maintenance personnel for troubleshooting purposes. If there are any
failures detected by BIT, the top level status display is automatically updated. The highest
priority message is always displayed first. Refer to table 6 for a list of HUMS status messages
and corresponding BIT Log entries.
There are three types of BIT performed on the HUMS. These are Start-up BIT (SBIT), Periodic
BIT (PBIT), and Initiated BIT (IBIT). The following paragraphs describe the details of the three
types of HUMS BIT.
10.1 Start-up BIT

Start-up BIT (SBIT) is initiated any time the HUMS begins a power-up sequence or after power
interruptions of more than 5 minutes. The HUMS assemblies that perform these tests include
the following:
• DAU Enhance Data Processing Unit (EDPU) Assembly
• DAU Vibration Acquisition Unit (VAU) Assembly
• DAU Auxiliary Acquisition and Tracker Power Supply (AATPS) Assembly
• CDU/DTU
Each DAU assembly performs autonomous start-up BIT testing and communicates their
respective results to the EDPU assembly, which acts as the central control and processing

UNCLASSIFIED
entity for the HUMS BIT. SBIT tests also include tests of the DTD (if present) and all dedicated
sensors as well as a communications check of the serial data channel to the MAU. Because
the engines are not running at power up, SBIT cannot completely determine if the tachometers
are producing proper output signals. In this case, if the HUMS configuration parameters have
been set up to allow manual vibration acquisitions, the tachometers can be checked when a
manual vibration acquisition is commanded by the operator once the engines are running. If
the HUMS configuration parameters have not been set up to allow manual acquisitions, then
the tachometers are only checked during flight when the system performs automatic vibration
acquisitions. SBIT requires no operator action to initiate and is automatically scheduled during
the system power-up sequence. SBIT tests take approximately 10 seconds to complete. Any
abnormal results are automatically displayed on the CDU for operator acknowledgement and
also communicated to the MAU over the RS-429 serial bus. Within two minutes of application
of power, the HUMS is fully functional, including all vibration acquisition and processing
functions.
10.2 Periodic BIT
After completing SBIT, the DAU performs Periodic BIT (PBIT) testing at approximately one
minute intervals. PBIT is a set of non-intrusive background tests that continually verify the
operation and ability of the DAU and its ability to communicate with the CDU/DTU, DTD,
sensors, and the MAU.
If an RBT is fitted to the aircraft, PBIT will also perform tests on the unit to verify its operation.
The RBT must be powered up in order for PBIT to be performed. This is accomplished by
enabling the RBT for DAY or NIGHT operation. If using HUMS top-level software P/N 553477-
01-01, and the RBT is enabled before the engines are started, PBIT may cause AATPS 12V
ON, AATPS 24V ON, and AATPS LAMP SW BIT errors to be detected and displayed upon
engine start. This is due to a power drop on the unit during the engine start. No actual damage
or harm to the system or RBT occurs when this happens. If these faults are detected due to
enabling of the tracker before engines are started, the fault should be cleared after the mission
has been accomplished and the engines have been shut down, with no further maintenance
action required. (Note: To determine which top-level software P/N is being used, inspect the
label on the front of the DAU).
Also included as part of PBIT, reasonableness tests are continuously performed on all data
received from the HUMS sensor inputs both during and after an operation, as long as the
engines are running. PBIT failures are automatically displayed on the CDU in the status
message area of the HUMS top-level menu page.
10.3 Initiated BIT
Initiated BIT (IBIT) is almost identical to SBIT. The difference is in the method of initiation and
the performance of some additional tests that are unique to IBIT. In addition to those tests
performed during SBIT, IBIT also performs CDU display pixel tests and keypad pushbutton
tests. These additional tests require the operator to visually verify the proper operation of the
CDU display and manually verify each of the CDU pushbutton keys are operating properly.
IBIT is inhibited after the start, and during the duration, of any HUMS operation. IBIT results
are stored in the HUMS fault log and available for display by the operator. Fault log data
cannot be displayed once a HUMS operation has started.

Once SBIT has confirmed communication between the Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) and the
Data Transfer Unit (DTU), a check is done of the DTD. This check can result in one of the
following displays:

These displays will change to reflect the new status if the DTD is removed and/or installed.
These displays can also be cleared by starting an operation or pressing the “CLR” key.
However, the system will not write data to either a configuration DTD or an invalid DTD. If a
valid DTD is installed, the system will check the allocated space remaining in each file. If a file
reached 80% of its allocated capacity, the CDU will display:
f i l e i d
F I L E X X X % F U L L ↓
where “fileid” is the name of the file exceeding the limit and XXX is the actual percentage of the
allocated capacity used. The user can view all files more than 80% full by depressing the
“PAGE” key. The full list of “fileid”s is the same as in the DTD status menu. If a file reaches
100% of its allocated capacity and is not configured to wrap when full, the CDU displays the
same message where “fileid” is the name of the file exceeding the limit and XXX is the actual
percentage of the allocated capacity used. This list is cleared by pressing the “CLR” key or
starting an operation.
If a valid aircraft (A/C) identification (ID) is not available from the ARINC 429 bus, the system
will then display:
A / C I D
U N A V A I L A B L E
While this message is displayed, the system will continue to monitor the ARINC 429 bus for a
valid A/C ID. This display will clear automatically if a valid A/C ID is received. It can also be
cleared by pressing the “CLR” key or starting an operation. However, either of these actions
will invalidate logbook data.
If the A/C ID received over the ARINC 429 bus does not match the A/C ID stored in nonvolatile
memory (NVM), the following message will be displayed:
A / C I D
M I S M A T C H
While this message is displayed, the system will continue to monitor the ARINC 429 bus for a
new A/C ID. If a new A/C ID is received which matches the A/C ID stored in NVM, this display

5.2.1 Running an Acquisition

Acquisitions are run by selecting the desired engine from the EPA menu. When an acquistion
is run, the system will first verify that all inputs required to calculate EPA are valid. If any EPA
input parameter is invalid, the CDU will display:
I N V A L I D

If all EPA inputs are valid, the system will then verify that the aircraft is in a proper regime for
collecting EPA data. If the aircraft is not in a valid regime, the CDU will display:
I N V A L I D
R E G I M E
“EPA” menu with the cursor on the last attempted acquisition.
If the aircraft is in a valid regime, the system will then verify that the engine is properly
configured for EPA for the regime. If the configuration is not valid, the CDU will display:
I N V A L I D
S E T U P
The above three tests are running continuously throughout the acquisition. For example, if all
required parameters are valid at the outset of an acquisition, but halfway through the acquisition
a required parameter goes invalid, the acquisition will abort and the “INVALID DATA” message
will be displayed.
If all required parameters, and the regime and configuration are valid, the CDU will display:
I N P R O G R E S S
Upon completion of the acquisition, the system performs a stability check of the calculated
margins. If the stability check fails, the CDU will display:

1 Data entry methods and guidelines

Data entry is allowed for certain fields on the HUMS display pages. Some data is entered on a
character-by-character basis while other types of data are entered by entering a complete field.
1.1 Character data entry.
1 Using the two arrow keys (DOWN, RIGHT), the cursor (> or <) is moved adjacent to the
desired field for data entry.
2 Pressing the ENT key causes the first character of the field to begin flashing.
3 With the character flashing, the DOWN arrow key is now used for data entry and the
RIGHT arrow key is used to move right through each enterable character in the data field.
The DOWN arrow key is used to cycle forward through each allowable value for the
character, starting with the current value.
4 After cycling to the desired value, pressing the RIGHT arrow key causes the character to
cease flashing and causes the next character position to begin flashing. Pressing the ENT
key after all characters have been set to the desired values causes the system to accept
the data values entered.
5 Not all character positions have to be updated during data entry in order for the system to
accept the values. If only one character needs to be updated move to that position using
the RIGHT arrow key, cycle through the allowable values using the DOWN arrow key and
then press the ENT key to complete the entry.
1.2 Field data entry
1 Using the two arrow keys (DOWN, RIGHT), the cursor (> or <) is moved adjacent to the
desired field for data entry.
2 Pressing the ENT key causes the entire field to begin flashing.
3 With the field flashing, the DOWN arrow key is now used for data entry. The RIGHT arrow
key has no affect. The DOWN arrow key is used to cycle forward through each allowable
value (DAY, NIGHT, OFF, etc.).
4 After the desired selection has been made, pressing the ENT key causes the system to
accept the value.

Procedure
1 Operational checkout preliminary procedures

1.1 General
The operational checkout chapters contain procedures used to verify proper operation of the
HUMS. Only the procedures contained in Chap 1.10 are required for routine operational
checkout. Routine checkout does not require the engines running. If it is suspected that a
specific HUMS accelerometer or tachometer has malfunctioned, then the checkout procedures
contained in Chapter 1.11 also need to be performed. These checks require the engines to be
running. When an indicated result is not obtained, refer to Chap 1.12 and Chap 1.13 HUMS
symptom index for the proper troubleshooting procedure. Proper operation of HUMS is
dependent upon the MAU. Ensure the MAU is in proper working order before performing the
HUMS operational checkout.
1.2 Preliminary setup

1 Connect external power to the aircraft in accordance with applicable aircraft maintenance
publication procedure.
2 Close all required circuit breakers on the applicable Power Distribution Panel(s) if not
already closed.
3 Ensure the HUMS circuit breaker(s) are closed.
Note
Ensure DTD is installed before applying power to HUMS.
DTD used in the following step is only for test purposes and does not have
to be configured for any specific operation or aircraft. Any DTD will work so
long as it is functional, has been properly initialized on the ground station,
and is not a configuration DTD.
4 Insert initialized DTD into CDU/DTU.

5 Apply power to the aircraft.
6 Adjust display intensity for normal viewing.

1 Troubleshooting introduction
Troubleshooting procedures should be used in conjunction with the operational checkout
procedures of Chap 1.10 and Chap 1.11. Symptoms which may occur during operational
checkout or during flight are listed in the HUMS fault symptom index, Chap 1.13. For each
entry in the symptom index, there is listed either an associated remedy or a reference to an
isolation procedure in Chap 1.14. When a malfunction may be caused by either a faulty LRU or
faulty aircraft wiring, a multimeter should be used to test and isolate faulty aircraft wiring.
Note
Do not swap DAUs between aircraft to troubleshoot system
failures. Swapping DAUs will require reinitialization of HUMS.
The data contained in the DAU memory is platform specific.
The recorded data will be different for each platform and
could invalidate the data.
The highest priority filtered BIT failure message (if any) which occurred during flight is displayed
on the CDU/DTU main menu page. BIT results are shown on the BIT LOG page(s) for use by
maintenance personnel. This information can be used in troubleshooting symptoms which
cannot be recreated during operational checkout. Refer to Chap 1.5 for description of the BIT
LOG page(s). Maintenance personnel should review the BIT log information contained on
these pages and discuss the symptoms with the flight crew to determine the corrective action to
be performed. The HUMS BIT LOG should be cleared after a maintenance corrective action
has been accomplished. After clearing BIT LOG entries, HUMS operational checkout
procedures should be run again to ensure failures have been corrected.
Note
BIT results are cleared immediately following a CLEAR BIT
LOG command and will not be displayed again until PBIT is
performed or until power is cycled (cold power-up) on the
system.

Procedure
1 Blade Tape Installation
1 For Night Tracking the tracker uses an integral light to illuminate retro-reflective tape targets on the
underside of the rotor.
2. Before night tracking it is necessary to prepare the blades by applying a single strip of reflective
tape to the trailing edge of each blade in the span section scanned by the tracker.
3. The scanned span section is identified as having the lower blade black paint finish that runs from
leading edge to trailing edge. This can be found just adjacent to the outer tabs.
4. Blade surface should be clean and free from grease to allow the tape to adhere properly. The
tape should be applied carefully to ensure that it abuts accurately along the trailing edge of the
blade. If the tape is not properly aligned, lead and lag offsets will be introduced into the
measurement.
5. The tape should be smoothed down to expel air bubbles with a clean grease free cloth. Grease
deposits should be removed from the tape as they impair the tape’s reflective qualities.
6. The presence of the tape does not interfere with the tracker operation in day mode.

1 General
The information contained in this chapter is intended as a guide to the sequence of operating
procedures which should be followed by the aircrew when using HUMS. Using HUMS in a
manner outside the guidelines below may result in errors or improper operation or invalid data
acquisition and recording.
2 Checklist information
2.1 Preflight procedures
2.1.1 With Power Off
Before power is applied to HUMS, a DTD should be inserted into the CDU/DTU. The DTD
should have already been properly initialized on the ground station for the particular HUMS
operation to be performed.
If the HUMS operation will be a rotor tuning flight, and track and balance data is to be acquired,
then the aircrew should ensure that a rotor blade tracker has been fitted to the aircraft. Note:
Rotor balance tuning can be performed without a rotor blade tracker fitted.
2.1.2 Before Rotors Turning
Once power has been applied to HUMS and the MAU and HUMS has completed power up BIT,
the status should be checked on the CDU/DTU. HUMS status should indicate no failure
indications and there should be no advisory messages displayed.

Chapter 2
TDM 2128
UNCLASSIFIED
If the correct time and date have not been received from the MAU, the aircrew should enter a
time and date into HUMS.
Note
If using HUMS top-level software P/N 553477-01-01, do not enable the tracker to DAY or
NIGHT mode until both engines have been started. Enabling the tracker prior to engine start
may cause RBT BIT errors to be detected upon engine start. See paragraph 10.2 of Chapter
1.5 for additional information.
If the HUMS operation will be a rotor tuning flight (track and balance) then the Rotor Blade
Tracker should be configured for either day or night operation as applicable. If a rotor tuning
operation is to be performed then follow procedures for performing a rotor track and balance
operation.
2.2 Inflight procedures

The following functions are available while in a HUMS operation during flight:
• Viewing aircraft parameters

• Checking the status of the DTD
• Performing a rotor track and balance acquisition
• Performing an engine power assurance check
2.3 Postflight procedures
