CHAPTER 11
MASTER WARNING SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION
The master warning system consists of a warning annunciator panel with red readouts cen-
trally located in the glareshield, a caution-advisory annunciator panel with amber and green readouts
located on the center subpanel, and two flasher lights in front of each pilot on the glareshield (one
labeled MASTER WARNING (red) and the other MASTER CAUTION (amber). Adjacent to the warning
annunciator panel on the glareshield is a PRESS TO TEST switch, which is used to illuminate the
annunciator lights and flashers (Figure 4-1).

GENERAL
The annunciators are word-readout types. When a fault condition covered by the annunciator
system occurs, a signal is generated and the appropriate annunciator is illuminated. This action, in turn,
illuminates either the WARNING or CAUTION flasher. Super King Air 200 airplanes built before 1979
have 12 legends on the warning panel and 30 legends on the caution-advisory panel. Super King Air
200 models built in 1979 and after have 16 warning legends and 36 caution-advisory legends. The
B200 airplanes have 20 legends on the warning panel and 36 legends on the caution-advisory panel.

DIM
The warning annunciators (red), caution annunciators (amber), advisory annunciators (green),
amber MASTER CAUTION flashers and red MASTER WARNING flashers feature both a bright and a
dim mode of illumination intensity. (Prior to BB-1444, except 1439, the MASTER WARNING flasher
does not have a dim mode.) The dim mode will be selected automatically when all the following
conditions are met: a generator is on the line; the MASTER PANEL switch is on; the OVERHEAD
FLOODLIGHTS are off; the PILOT FLIGHT LIGHTS are on; and the ambient light level in the cockpit
(as sensed by a photoelectric cell located in the overhead light control panel) is below a preset value.
Unless all these conditions are met, the bright mode will be selected automatically.

TEST
The lamps in the annunciator system should be tested before every flight, and at any other time
the integrity of a lamp is in question. Depressing the PRESS TO TEST button, located to the right of
the warning annunciator panel in the glareshield, illuminates the annunciator lights, both MASTER
WARNING flashers, and both MASTER CAUTION flashers. (The yellow NO TRANSFER lights on the
fuel panel are not included in this test, since they do not affect flashers when a NO TRANSFER
condition exists.) Any lamp that fails to illuminate when tested should be replaced.

GLARESHIELD FLASHERS

MASTER WARNING FLASHERS

If a fault requires the immediate attention and reaction of the pilot, the appropriate red warning
annunciator in the warning annunciator panel illuminates and both MASTER WARNING flashers begin
flashing (Figure 4-2). Illuminated lenses in the warning annunciator panel will remain on until the fault
is corrected. However, the MASTER WARNING flashers can be extinguished by depressing the face
of either MASTER WARNING flasher, even if the fault is not corrected. In such a case, the MASTER
WARNING flashers will again be activated if an additional warning annunciator illuminates. When a
warning fault is corrected, the affected warning annunciator will extinguish, but the MASTER WARNING
flashers will continue flashing until one of the flashers is depressed to reset the circuit.

MASTER CAUTION FLASHERS

When an annunciator-covered fault occurs that requires the pilot’s attention, the appropriate
amber caution annunciator in the caution-advisory panel illuminates, and both MASTER CAUTION
flashers begin flashing (Figure 4-2). The flashing MASTER CAU- TION lights can be extinguished by
pressing the face of either of the flashing lights to reset the circuit. Subsequently, when any other
caution annunciator illuminates, the MASTER CAUTION flashers will be activated again. Most
illuminated caution annunciators on the caution-advisory annunciator panel will re- main on until the
fault condition is corrected, at which time they will extinguish. The MAS- TER CAUTION flashers will
continue flash- ing until one of the flashers is depressed.

WARNING ANNUNCIATOR PANEL (RED)

GENERAL
If a fault indicated by an illuminated warning annunciator is cleared, the annunciator will
automatically extinguish. Figure 4-3 shows typical 200 airplane warning panels, and Figure 4-4 shows
a typical B200 airplane warning panel. Figure 4-5 shows a typical B200, BB- 1439, 1444 and
subsequent warning panel.

CAUTION-ADVISORY ANNUNCIATOR PANEL (AMBER/GREEN)

GENERAL
If a cautionary fault exists, the appropriate amber light will illuminate. If the fault indicated by an
illuminated caution annunciator is cleared, the annunciator will automatically extinguish.

The caution-advisory annunciator panel also contains green advisory annunciators. There are
no master flashers associated with these annunciators since they are only advisory in nature, indicating
functional situations which do not demand the immediate attention or reaction of the pilot. An advisory
annunciator can be extinguished only by correcting the condition indicated on the illuminated lens.

CAUTION SWITCH (200 MODELS ONLY)

If the fault indicated by an illuminated caution annunciator is not corrected, and pro- vided the
MASTER CAUTION flasher is not flashing, the pilot can still extinguish the annunciator by momentarily
moving the spring-loaded CAUTION toggle switch (if installed) down to the OFF position, then releasing
it to the center position. This action will extinguish all illuminated caution annunciators, and will
illuminate the green CAUT LGND OFF advisory annunciator in the caution advisory panel; this reminds
the pilot that an uncorrected fault condition exists, but that the caution legends have all been
extinguished. The annunciator(s) previously extinguished with the CAUTION switch can again be
illuminated anytime by momentarily moving the switch up to the ON position. This action will also
extinguish the green CAUT LGND OFF annunciator. If an additional fault covered by the caution
annunciators occurs after the caution legends have been extinguished with the CAUTION switch, the
appropriate caution annunciator for the new fault will illuminate, and all previously extinguished
annunciators will again illuminate. This switch is not installed in B200 airplanes.

Figures 4-6, 4-7, 4-8 and 4-9 show typical caution advisory annunciator panels in 200/B200
aircraft.
