3.0 UNIT INSTALLATION
3.1 LOCATION
The Model F1000 flight recorder system should be installed in the aircraft fuselage location,
provided by the airframe manufacturer, as far aft as practicable. The recommended orientation
is that it be mounted in an upright position (vertical as viewed from the front). The Model
F1000 is certified for hard mount installations of aircraft environments within the limits of the J’
or C’ curves of DO–160C (except for helicopter enviroments). A mounting tray, L-3 P/N:
17–S194, is available for this configuration (refer to Figure 3).
For those environments exceeding this envelope (helicopter installations, for example), the
flight recorder system requires a vibration mount, L-3 P/N: 17–A194 (refer to Figure 4) or
equivalent.
On aircraft with an existing FDR vibration mount, such as L-3 P/N: 17–A194 or equivalent, it is
not necessary to retrofit this mount with a hard–mounted tray. In fact, for better, long–term
reliability, it is recommended that the recorder be mounted on a vibration mount in a
pressurized area.
3.2 MOUNTING CONFIGURATIONS
The following list describes the various Mounting configurations that may be used with the
F1000 Recorders:
Table 3. F1000 Mounting Tray Configurations
PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION
17S194 Mounting Tray with Solder Connection
17S194-01 Mounting Tray with Crimp Connection
17S194-02 Mounting Tray with No Connection
17A194 Vibration Mount with Solder Connection
17A194-01 Vibration Mount with Crimp Connection
17A194-02 Vibration Mount with No Connection
3.3 POWER REQUIREMENTS
Unless impractical, the flight data recorder should be powered from a bus other than that
providing power to the Cockpit Voice Recorder. Each bus will need to meet the supply
reliability requirements appropriate to the recorders.
The recorder operates on 400 Hz, 115 Vac or 28 Vdc input. The F1000 recorder draws a
maximum of 19 Watts, AC or DC. Electrical connector is DPX2MA–57P–57P–34–2201 on the
recorder which mates with a DPX2–57S–57S–33–0001 in the mounting tray which connects to
the aircraft wiring harness.

July 01/01 Page 9
3.4 UNIT INTERFACE WIRING
The Model SSFDR S703–1000–00 is designed to accept a variety of input signals. There are
12 independent synchro signal inputs for conventional synchro signals 11.6 V with 26 Vac
excitation. These 12 inputs can alternately receive signals as:
1. DC 3 wire of 0 to 18 volts in which case its excitation input –12 Vdc has to be connected to
program pin 49 (J1A). Labeled PROG.DC3. Excitation low of this input has to go to
ground.
2. DC 2 wire (absolute value) of 0 to 12 volts, in this case its excitation +12 Vdc is connected
to pin 48 (J1A). Labeled PROG.DC2.
3.5 CESSATION OF RECORDING
Federal Air Regulation 25.1459 a (5) specifies that there must be “an automatic means to
simultaneously stop a recorder that has data erasure feature and prevent each erasure from
functioning within 10 minutes after crash impact.” The installer must demonstrate this function.
Since the F1000 SSFDR can be powered by either 115 Vac, 400 Hz or 28 Vdc, the following
method is acceptable to ensure recording is automatically stopped.
IMPACT SWITCH – Interrupts FDR power upon exposure to a predetermined level of g–force.
In order to restart FDR operation, a reset switch is usually depressed on the impact switch.
Such switches have limitations, but are effective in high g–force accidents. This item is not
available through L-3 Aviation Recorders. (See Appendix A and B for manufacturer’s
specifications for models available).

which will disable the recording function after a period of 8 to 10 minutes, upon the condition
that powered flight is no longer possible. Examples of typical Aircraft–to–SSFDR shutdown
interface is shown in Figure 24, sheets 1 and 2, which may apply to the following:
A. Absence of oil pressure on all engines.
B. Absence of engine driven vacuum source.
There are two delayed shutdown option’s available with the SSFDR. Delayed Shutdown A
(J1A–44) activates the shutdown circuitry within the SSFDR when 28 Vdc is applied. Delayed
Shutdown B (J1A–47) activates the shutdown circuitry within the SSFDR when ground is
applied. Where wiring the Delayed Shutdown feature, wire either Delayed Shutdown A or
Delayed Shutdown B. Do not wire both options.
NOTE: The Automatic SSFDR feature can be used with either +28 Vdc or 115 Vac, 400 Hz
primary input power.

4.0 TESTING
4.1 BITE (Built In Test Equipment)

The Model F1000 contains an internal self–test circuitry known as BITE. This internal self–test
functions as follows: After applying power to the flight recorder, the “FLIGHT RECORDER
OFF” indicator, or the “FLIGHT RECORDER FAULT” indicator light should go out within 5
seconds and remain out. Observation for a time of at least 60 seconds is recommended for
the –00 and –01 units. The self–test circuitry (BITE) checks the recorder thoroughly and in
addition for ARINC 573 units, analyzes the data input coming from the Flight Data Acquisition
Unit (FDAU). Should the light remain on for over 5 seconds a systems fault is indicated. In the
–00 and –01 units if the light comes on within 60 seconds, this means that the internal self–test
circuitry has found a possible defect within the recorder or the absence of a data input signal(s)
from the FDAU. The –02 unit provides a test of the presence of the FDAU within 5 seconds.
The amount of time elapsed before the indicator lights indicates the source of the problem.
Refer to Table 1 for the BITE indications chart. The SSFDR Component Maintenance Manual
31–30–02 contains additional information regarding the BITE internal self–test circuitry.

4.2 FUNCTIONAL VERIFICATION

Using the Portable Analysis Unit (PAU), L-3 P/N: 17TES0010 (refer to Figure 7), real–time data
or previously recorded data can be extracted for complete verification of recorder functions in
the installation. Plugged into the front ATE connector of the F1000, the PAU can display and
print data without removing the SSFDR from the aircraft. Data can be printed out on an
accessory printer, P/N 17TES0020. Selection of aircraft parameters can be varied, and the
PAU can display data in raw form (octal, decimal, hexadecimal), or engineering units. The PAU
can retrieve and store all or a portion of the flight data from the F1000 in less than 15 minutes.
Figure 7.

5.0 OPERATION
5.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

There are no controls or switches associated with the Model F1000 FDR, and its operation is
completely automatic upon power–up. When the recorder is installed and wired in accordance
with Section 3 of this document, the recorder is ready for operation.
To operate, first disengage the aircraft circuit breaker for the flight recorder while the rest of the
aircraft electrical system is on; the Recorder Fault light should turn on. Next, engage the circuit
breaker to apply proper aircraft power to the flight recorder. The recorder fault light should turn

Page 16 July 01/01
off in approximately five seconds. Should the recorder fault light come on after seven seconds,
the recorder may not be functioning properly (See Section 4.0) or the input data to the recorder
is incorrect. Should any parameter expected by the recorder (ARINC 542 mode) be missing,
the recorder fault light will turn on. If no tested input parameter to the recorder is missing and
the self test BITE circuitry does not find a defect within the FDR, the recorder will operate
automatically until power is removed. The recorder will convert analog data into digital data
per ARINC 542 and 542A, and record the information in its memory. The recorder
continuously records and retains flight data as presented to it thus meeting the requirements of
FAR 121.343.
5.2 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

The Model F1000 does not require scheduled maintenance. The battery within the
Underwater Locator Beacon must be replaced every six years. At this interval, the F1000
should be inspected in accordance with the Component Maintenance Manual 31–30–02.
6.0 ACCELEROMETER
6.1 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
There are two DC types of accelerometers that may be used with the F1000 Flight Data
Recorder. Refer to Figure 8 for outline and dimension drawings for the tri–axial accelerometer
and to Figure 9 for the block diagram. The remote accelerometer’s center of gravity is located,
for all practical purposes, at the center of the transducer. In ARINC 542 and 542A
installations, the remote accelerometer is wired directly to the FDR.
6.2 ACCELEROMETER
Part Number Description Mounting Footprint

17A471–03 Triaxial, DC ARINC 542
6.3 MOUNTING
The accelerometer is rigidly mounted by the airframe manufacturer in a position located

longitudinally either within the approved center of gravity limits of the airplane or at a distance
fore or aft of this limit that does not exceed 25% of the airplane’s mean aerodynamic chord
(FAR 25.1459 (a) (2)). The airframe manufacturer will provide a suitable base for mounting.
The orientation of the accelerometer is such that the mounting flange must be horizontial and
at the bottom in all cases. This is the +1g position. Sufficient room must be provided at the
top of the unit for proper connection and ease of removal for servicing.
6.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical connection is made through a connector located at the top of the accelerometer.
Electrical power is provided by the recorder. Wiring is in accordance with ARINC 542 & ARINC
542A.

7.0 UNDERWATER LOCATOR BEACON

The Model F1000 may use either the Benthos Model ELP–362D or the Dukane Model DK120
beacons. Each beacon has a 6-year battery service life. The beacon is located on the front
panel for ease of reading the battery replacement date and for quick removal and replacement
of the beacon. The beacon should be positioned in the cradle assembly on the F1000 front
panel so that the water switch is facing downward.
8.0 AUTOMATIC TEST EQUIPMENT (ATE) CONNECTOR

A front mounted ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) connector is provided on the F1000. This
connector serves a dual purpose: (1) for use with automatic or bench test equipment for final
recorder checkout and for checkout of the recorder on the aircraft during calibration checks,
and (2) for use in transferring data into a Portable Analysis Unit (PAU) or a Data Retrieval Unit
(DRU) while on the aircraft or, as shown in Figure 10, to a Read–Out Center/2 (ROC/2) on the
bench.

Figure 11. ARINC-542A Input Wiring (J1A/J1B) Notes:

1. Binaries on J1A-41, 45 & 46 are shunt type inputs (short to GND is active).
2. All SSFDR synchro inputs are designated for 3-Leg 11.8 Vrms signals, but can accommodate a
“DC Synchro” or a “DC Signal with DC Reference and Common” (Up to approx. 18 Vdc).
3. 2-Wire or 3-Wire DC Volt synchro input requirements are as follows: “X” is GND, “Z” is Reference,
“Y” is Signal, “C” is GND, “H” is from J1A-48 (+12 Vdc) or J1A-49 (–12 Vdc).
4. All SSFDR DC inputs are LLDC (0 to 5 Vdc).
5. Ground J1A-6 & J1B-6 within 12” of connector.
6. DC 2-Wire and DC 3-Wire synchro inputs can be used at all synchro inputs except for Heading.
7. See Figure 12 for 573/717/747 mode of operation wiring diagram for S903-2000-00 and
S903-3000-00 configurations. Synchro-0 & Synchro-1 inputs at J1A-11 – J1A-18 may also used
for optional ARINC 747 AC_ID inputs. These lines have a +6.2 Vdc level present on them. Pin 18
is used to ID 64wps = Open or 128wps = Ground operation in S903-3000-00 boxes.
1 If Lateral acceleration is not used, DC7 should be used with an external reference of 5 Vdc –
Pre Mod-Dot 3, FSB011; Post Mod-Dot 3 does not require external 5 Vdc reference.
2 Frequency Mode, Alternate Input is Frequency (Engine RPM).

10.0 Procedures for Downloading a Model F1000 Recorder, using a

DRU Memory Card (Flash Card)
Select this source option to dump data from the DRU memory card (either a 4ĆMB or 10ĆMB
flash card) inserted in the PCMCIA port of the Recorder Interface (RI). The DRU Memory cards
are used to import Flight data from an F1000 solidĆstate recorder into the ROSE system. This
data is retrieved from the F1000 in a packed (compressed) file format with a 16Ćbit word
structure. This file transfer method converts the GS/2 type data into a 12Ćbit word format ROSE
can used to decompress the file.
Note: L3 DRU cards contain a proprietary header file which can only be added
at the factory. Do not erase the DRU card using Windows OS while it is
in the pc; this will remove the special header file used to allow the DRU
card to interface with the DRU test unit. Only erase the DRU cards using
the DRU test unit. If a DRU card is corrupted (the header file is removed)
return it to L3 for reinstallation of the header file. Do not attempt to use
a commercial off–the–shelf flash memory card in place of the L3 DRU
card; they will not work since they do not contain the DRU header file.
Once the conversion is complete, the data file is saved in the ROSE directory with a .DMP file
name. Flight data which extends over multiple DRU disks must be fully converted and saved to
the ROSE directory before the decompression process is started. Each of the DRU disk files
will be numbered in the sequence retrieved.
Note: If downloading from more than one DRU Memory Card, the copy pro-
cess will prompt the user for the proper number and sequence of
PCMCIA cards to insert.
After the DRU files are copied into the ROSE directory, the user will be prompted to continue
the decompression process. At this point the ROSE system will then send the file to the RI
function of ROSE to begin the decompression process. This process may take up to 5
minutes. Once the decompression process has completed the DRU data file has been fully
converted into a ROSE Raw Frame type that can be view using the ROSE system.
During the decompression process there may be errors which occur. If an error does
occur the ROSE system will return an error code, refer to the ROSE Software Manual
for details.
1. Click the Import/Export Flight Data button from the ROSE Main menu .
2. Click the Import New Data button on the Flight Data File Control menu.
3. Enter a file name for the flight data file to be created on the local disk.
4. Optionally enter a file description for the flight data file to be created on the local disk.
5. Select the file type, either ROSE Raw Frame type or Comma Delimited (raw data) or Binary
Raw Data or Packed Raw Data for the flight data file to be created on the local disk.
6. Select DRU Memory Card as the Source of Data.

July 01/01 Page 41
Note: Binary flight data on a memory card will first be copied to the local disk
into a format which can be recognized by ROSE and Windows 95/98.
7. Select either Dump All Flight Data or Dump Flight Data From Last _ Hrs _ Mins.
8. Click the OK button.
9. When prompted the DRU memory card or cards should be loaded into the PC card
sockets. The DRU memory card should be read/write enabled.
Informational messages and prompts for multiple card files will be displayed as the
data is transferred from the memory cards.
10. Following copy of the DRU memory card to the local disk a window will appear to request
the data type and words per frame for decompression of the flight data. Select the Input
File Type and Words Per Frame on the Set Data Type menu.
11. Click OK on the Set Data Type menu.
12. Verify a processing status window is displayed while data is decompressed.
10.1 DRU–to–F1000 Operating Procedures
The following steps provide the necessary instructions for retrieving aircraft data from a F1000
Solid State Flight Data Recorder.
1. At the DRU, insert a cleared flash memory card. Refer to Section 10.2 for flash memory
card clearing instructions.
2. At the SSFDR, while observing the DRU front panel LED indicators, connect the DRU
connector to the front panel connector of the recorder.
Note: If the SSFDR has power applied, the DRU LED indicators will light for approxi-
mately one second and then go out, with the exception of the “POWER” LED
which should remain on.
3. At the DRU, either press the RETRIEVE ALL DATA or RETRIEVE NEW DATA ONLY
pushbutton.
Note: The “BUSY” LED will light continuously if the “RETRIEVE ALL” option is se-
lected and will flash if the “RETRIEVE NEW DATA ONLY” option is selected.
4. After approximately 7-1/2 minutes, the BUSY LED will begin flashing and the CHANGE
MEMORY CARD LED will light continuously.
