4.1 GENERAL
The KS 273 Theory of Operation is presented in this section in tuo levels of discussion. The first Level
is a simplified block diagram and should be referenced to Figure 4-l.
Figure 4-1. The second level discusses the
circuitry in.more detail and should be referenced to the schematic found in Section
Section VI VI.

FIGURE 4-1 BLOCK DIAGRAM

4.2 BLOCKDIAGRAMTHEORYOF OPERATION

The KS 273 is used uith the KA 117 Bridge Trim Adapter to drive the motor when in the Autopilot mode. At
this time, the transfer relay has been activated and is passing the amplifier output to the motor. When
in the Manual Trim mode, the variable voltage regulator determines the voltage applied through the
normally closed contacts of the transfer relay to the motor. The servo engage clutch is activated by a
signal from the KC 295. The KS 273 Servo is basically identical to the KS 272, less the Autotrim
Amplifier.

4.3 DETAILEDTHEORYOF OPERATION

4.3.1 MANUAL TRIM REGULATOR

The single most important consideration used in the design of versions of the KS 273 Servo Actuator is
the capstan speed in Manual Trim. Since the Hanual Trim speed necessary for smooth safe trim varies uith
each type aircraft, many measures have been employed to achieve specific capstan speeds for both 14 and
28 volt aircraft. One of the electrical means employed is the Manual Trim Regulator.

The regulator consists of a medium power Darlington Transistor, 0102, whose base is referenced to a
resistor-zener diode network consisting of Rl02 and CRl07. The regulated voltage is sent to pin A on the
KS 273 plug.

In normal installations of the KFC 200 Autopilot, this Manual Trim voltage from pin A is sent to the
common leads of a tuo-pole double throw suitch located at the pilots control wheel. The normally open
contacts of this suitch are connected to the Manual Trim clockuise CCW) and counterclockwise (CCW) inputs
of the KS 273. These lines in turn go through normally closed contacts of the transfer relay in the KS
273 to the motor connections of MlOl. Thus ue see that in Manual Electric Trim, the regulator voltage is
placed directly across the motor windings. Figure 4-2
Figure 4-2 shous these connections.

Capacitors ClOl, C102, Cl03 have been added to the circuitry to keep noise interference from the servo at
0
a minimum.

R103 is a 13 watt resistor uhich is used to reduce the "coasting" effect when the motor is driven by the
varying pulse uidth oscillator signal from the KA 117.

4.3.2 SOLENOID ENGAGEMENT

The engage solenoid in the KS 273 is the identical solenoid used in the KS 270, KS 271 and KS 272 Servo
Actuators. The two coils are series together if the servo flavor is of the 28V variety. The coils are
paralleled if the servo flavor is of the 14V variety. One lead of the solenoid is connected to the main
DC voltage while the Louer side of the solenoid is pulled to ground through QlOl. The base drive through
Rlill is provided during both Manual and Autopilot Trim modes. CR103 shunts the solenoid windings in
either 14V or 28V operation and serves as an arc suppressor during turnoff of the solenoid.

4.3.3 SERVO VARIATIONS

As was mentioned before, the capstan speed is the primary concern when designing the versions of the KS
273. To achieve the different speeds necessary, flavors of the KS 273 uiLL vary in the following
components:

A. CR137 and RIO2 for various manual trim voltages.

0. Voltage values of motor NlOl.

C. Size of the output pinion, either ten tooth or twenty-four tooth.

D. Motor gearheads of Motor MlOl.

Rev. 3, March, 1982

Mi40038-11 page 4-2

Besides the above variations, the servos differ as to their DC power being +14 volts or +28 volts. This
depends on the particular installation. Wiring of the solenoid and part number of the transfer relay are
the only items which change as a result of the input voltage change.

All versions of the KS 273 Trim Actuators have the engage circuitry designed around the use of the King
Autopilot Trim Switch CKPN 200-1902-00). With these type servos, the Manual Trim engage voltage enters
RI01 through pin C and CRlOl. The KS 273 also has a Preflight Test Line uhich enters on pin B and is
used to engage the Auto Trim Transfer relay during the Preflight Test mode. The motor feedback Lines are
connected directly to the motor Leads. CR104 shunts the relay windings and serves as an arc suppressor
during turnoff of the Auto Trim Transfer relay.

A complete List of KS 273 Servo versions can be found in Section VI

Section VI along with those components which
change with each version.

ILLUSTRATED PARTS LIST

The Illustrated Parts List (IPL) is organized basically in the follouing three divisions, Bill of
Waterial (ZOO-XxXx-XX), Parts Layout C300-XxXx-XX), and the Electrical Schematic Diagram (002-XXXX-XX).
The IPL may also contain the Final assembly or sub-assembly drauings.

The Assembly drawings reference their mechanical parts uith a King Part Number CKPN). Electrical parts
are referenced by their circuit designators (i.e. CR402, R908, etc.). Each Assembly parts list is
assembled so that mechanical parts are first, in numerical part number order and electrical parts are
second in circuit designation order.

The following unusual numbers may appear at times on the BON and are for commentary purposes only.

Example 1:

CR401 999-9999-99 DO NOT USE

The component designator CR401 had been previously used on the

assembly and then deleted; therefore, it cannot be reassigned.

Example 2:

CR401 999-9999-98 NOT USED

The component designator CR401 is available for future assignment

and is not presently a part of the PC board/Final assembly.

Example 3:

CR401 999-9999-97 SEE NEXT ASSEMBLY

The component designator CR401 is used as part of the electrical

circuit assembly but because of assembly or testing requirements
may be part of another assembly.

CR401 999-9999-96 RESERVED

The component designator CR401 is reserved for future usage.

UNIT/BOARD VERSIONS

The BOM is arranged to show the Unit or Board version from left to right across the top of the BOM
starting with the version -00.

The -00 through -XX are variants of a particular board assembly. Those parts that are peculiar to that
particular board or assembly are shown in a vertical column directly below the -00 through -XX version.

(Optional -99)

The -99 version is a listing of all the parts that are common to a board or unit assembly C-00 through
-99 versions). See the examples belou.
