MAINTENANCE MANUAL
GENERAL.

The environmental system will provide ventilation, heating, windshield defrost and cooling to the cabin
interior inflight and on the ground; additionally, the radio stack mounted in the instrument panel is fitted with a
blower fan. System configuration is affected by airframe effectivity and by optional equipment installation.
On Model 601P, 602P and 700P the turbocharger and pneumatic systems are interfaced with the pressur-
ization system. The standard pressurization system provides for a maximum differential pressure of 4.25 psi. Aircraft
equipped with Option 262 (5.5 PSID Pressurization System) have a maximum differential pressure of 5.5 psi.

DESCRIPTION. i

1. Refer to Figure 21-1, for schematics of the environmental systems functional interface.

TROUBLESHOOTING.

Troubles peculiar to the environmental system along with probable causes and suggested remedies are
listed in the Troubleshooting Charts 2101 through 2105.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
PRECAUTIONS.

1. Maintenance personnel should thoroughly familiarize themselves with the airplane's environmen-
tal system prior to performing any checks, tests, or repairs on the system/components.
2. Ensure that all safety precautions by airframe/product manufacturer are adhered to when per-
forming checks, tests, or maintenance on the environmental system.
3. An Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is recommended when electrical power is required. Ensure all
switches and equipment are turned OFF and all autopilot circuit breakers are pulled prior to con-
necting an Auxiliary Power Unit. The Master Battery and alternator switches must be left in the
OFF position until the Auxiliary Power Unit is disconnected to protect the voltage regulators and
system electrical equipment from voltage transients and possible damage.
4. Before disconnecting any electrical/electronic component, ensure electrical power is OFF.
5. Protect all disconnected ports, hoses, lines, tubing and leads as appropriate. Ensure all such
items are free from obstaiction/damage prior to connecting.

PRESSURIZATION. (Refer to Figure 21-1.)

The pressurization system on Model 601P, 602P and 700P will maintain an approximate 11,000 foot
cabin altitude when airplane altitude is 25,000 feet. The cabin pressure-vessel may be pressurized to a maximum
operating differential pressure of 4.25 pounds per square inch (psi) greater than atmosphere pressure. Aircraft
equipped with Option 262 (5.5 PSID Pressurization System) have a maximum operating differential pressure of
5.50 psi. These aircarft can maintain an approximate 8,000 foot cabin altitude when airplane altitude is 25,000
feet.
The bleed air from each engine's induction airbox provides a continuous supply of air for pressurization.
The exhaust driven turbocharger on each engine supplies sufficient air to the induction airboxes to be bled off for
cabin pressurization and ventilation requirements. The bleed air coming into the cabin will develop pressurization
by regulating its air flow from the pressure-vessel on the aft cabin bulkhead (fuselage station 204.00).
The pneumatic system provides a source of dry air to inflate the rubber seals around the cabin door and
emergency exit window to aid in sealing the pressure-vessel during pressurized flight.

COMPONENT MAINTENANCE.

FLOW CONTROL ASSEMBLY (601P). (Refer to Figure 21-2.)

A flow control assembly is located in the wing leading edge at the inboard side of each engine nacelle.
Each assembly consists of an electrically operated two position shut-off valve (bleed air valve) with a mount plate
assembly attached to one end and a sonic nozzle at the other. The mating flanges of the components are sealed
at the factory with sealant to prevent bleed air loss.
The components are non-repairable but a damaged component or malfunctioning shut off valve may be
individually replaced using RTV #102 sealant to reseal at mating flanges.

— NOTE —
Procedures for removal and installation of either left or right flow
control assembles are similar. Reference to left or right assembiy will
only be made when necessary to identify peculiarities.

CHAPTER SECTION SUBJECT 21-13-00 AND 21-14-00 NOT USED.

PNEUMATIC.

The pneumatic system provides dry air to operate the gyros, deice boots, and on the pressurized models,
the cabin door and emergency exit seals.

21-15-00

2C24 Issued: June 1,1995


AEROSTAR AIRCRAFT
600/601/601P/602P/700P
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
DESCRIPTION.

The pneumatic system consists of two engine driven dry air pumps with inlet filters, two pressure regula-
tors or control valves, a manifold with check valves and an in-line filter. On A/C equipped for known icing and all
602P's, an ice shield is mounted in front of each inlet filter. The inlet filter must be protected from contamination
(fluids, etc.) when cleaning the engine.
The pressure regulators (Models 600 and 601 without surface deice) are spring loaded and regulate the
air presisure to the manifold and gyros to 3.5 psi.
The control valves (Model 601P, 602P, 700P and A/C with surface deice) are solenoid operated and reg-
ulate the air pressure to 5.7 psi. When the door seal switch is placed in the "INFLATE" mode the solenoid opens
a bypass in the control valve allowing 12.5 psi to enter the manifold to inflate the cabin door and emergency exit
seals. Refer to Figure 21-5 for the pneumatic system schematics.
The air from the manifold and in-line filter is routed under the cabin floor to an in-line pressure regulator
(601P, 602P, 700P and NC with deice) which is set at 4.75-5.25 in. Hg., then to the gyro pressure gauge, gyros
and overboard. On models 600 and 601 without deice, the air is directed to the gyro pressure gauge, gyros and
then vented inside the cabin. The gyro pressure gauge indicates pressure in inches of mercury (in. Hg.). The
gauge also has L and R red indicators that come into view when the air supply from either the L or R engine dri-
ven pump fails or drops below approximately 2.5 psi. This pressure is taken upstream of the check valves in the
manifold.
On 700P's vacuum is supplied to the outflow valve by means of a vacuum generator in order to reduce
cabin dive on takeoff.
On NC equipped for deice, pneumatic air for the boots is supplied from the manifold through a pressure
relief valve, duplex valve and a pressure switch. Refer to Chapter 30 for deice pneumatic system.
On pressurized models the inflatable door seals are controlled by an "INFLATE-DEFLATE" switch on the
pilot's console, a door seal valve, door seal pressure switch and a pressurization safety switch at the emergency
exit.
The air supply is tapped downstream of the in-line filter and fed into a pilot operated door seal control
valve and subsequently into the inflatable seals. The door seal control valve is comprised of a solenoid shutoff
valve, a check valve (for A/C equipped with surface deice, the check valve is replaced with a solenoid shut-off
valve) and a pressure switch set at 12 ± 0.5 psi. When the seal inflation mode "INFLATE" is selected, the control
valve is energized by the door seal control valve pressure switch and air is pumped into the seals until the control
valve is de-energized by the pressure switch allowing excess pumped air to discharge overboard and system
pressure to return to normal. A microswitch wired in series with the door seal control valve is mounted at the
emergency exit handle. This is to prevent inflation of the door seals in the event the emergency exit handle is not
in the fully closed position. The door seal switch located on the pilot's console will show "DEFLATE" regardless of
modes selected until the emergency exit handle has been properly secured.
Aircraft equipped with Option 253 (Electric-Pneumatic Door Seal System) have a miniture electric pres-
sure pump, filter, and check valve added to the pneumatic system to provide air to the door seals. The air sup-
plied by the electric pump tees into the pneumatic system just ahead of the door seal control valve. The pump is
located on the fonward side of the F.S.I 76.88 bulkhead. A mode switch on the center console can be used to dis-
able the electric pump and use the normal system.

COMPONENT MAINTENANCE.

ENGINE DRIVEN AIR PUMP. (Refer to Figure 21-7.)

VENTILATION FAN BLOWER AND PLENUM BOX A S S E M B L Y .

The ventilation fan blower and plenum box assembly are located on the aft bulkhead of the cabin at fuse-
lage station 204.00. The airplane plenum box assembiy, if air conditioning is installed comes equipped with a fan
blower (24 volt electric motor) and evaporator unit with an access door in the lower front panel (See Figure 21-
10). The airplanes without air conditioning installed, do not have a front access door, evaporator unit, fan blower
or front air ducts on the front panel of the plenum box assembly. Later models do have the front air ducts.
The plenum box assembly (air conditioning installed) has four outlets for venting air to the cabin and
bleed air to the plenum box assembly. (See Figure 21-10). They are located at the lower left hand and right hand
side of the plenum box, and two air ducts on the upper front panel of the plenum box. These two air ducts convey
ventilating air to the overhead air duct located in the cabin from fuselage station 204.00 to fuselage station 90.82.
The left hand and right hand outlets convey bleed air into the plenum box assembly.
The left hand and right hand outlets are equipped with adapters to connect flexible hose to the left hand
and right hand bleed air inlets located at fuselage station 190.00. Two freon lines from the air conditioning unit
located at fuselage station 265.00 pass through the airplane to fuselage station 204.00 and connect midway
through the plenum box assembly on the left hand side to the evaporator unit.
The plenum box assembly (on earlier models without air conditioning) has one outlet for venting air to the
cabin. It is located at the lower right-hand side of the plenum box. Later models have two air ducts oh the upper
front panel of the plenum box. This outlet is equipped with an adapter to connect flexible hose to the right-hand
hot air distribution duct
There is a fixed inlet centered in the upper rear back panel of the plenum box which connects to a fixed
adapter on the aft cabin bulkhead at fuselage station 204.00. The ventilating air from the dorsal fin air scoop and
bleed air pass through this inlet to the plenum box.
The ventilation blower fan and plenum box assembly is designed to operate under the following three
modes:
Mode 1. Unpressurized ventilating.
Mode 2. Pressurized ventilating.
Mode 3. Air conditioning/pressurized and unpressurized ventilating.
Transition of the ventilating system within the ventilating fan blower and plenum box assembly to the
pressurized mode or vice versa, is automatic and does not require a change of environmental controls. A fixed
automatic drain is located at the left hand bottom side of the plenum box assembly (air conditioning installed).

REMOVAL OF PLENUM BOX ASSEMBLY. (Refer to Figure 21-10.)

— NOTE —
Removal procedures for the non-air conditioned plenum box assembly to
the aft bulkhead at fuselage station 204.00 are identical to the air condi-

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MODEL 600. /

A 25,000 BTU, gasoline powered Janitrol heater supplies heat as required for cabin comfort. The heater V?"
is located in the fuselage, aft of the baggage compartment and obtains its fuel supply from the airplane fuel sys-
tem fuselage tanl<. During continuous operation the heater fuel consumption is approximately 0.6 GPH. The
heater air supply comes from the inlet at the base of the dorsal fin and is directed to the floor air outlets.
1. Heater operation.
A. Open adjustable floor outlets (as many as possible, airframe 0213 and Subsequent). Pull
Air Knob fully out (airframe 0001 thru 0455).

— NOTE —
Never operate heater with less than two open outlets and Air Knob full out
(airframe 0001 thru 0455).

B. Heater Fan Switch - ON.


C. Cabin Heat Switch - PRESS ON momentarily.
D. Heater Temp Knob - PULL to desired temperature.
E. Floor Outlets - ADJUST to desired flow.
2. Heater shutdown.
A. Heater Fan Switch - OFF.

— NOTE —
Do not close floor outlets until heater has adequately cooled. For heater
shutdown after landing, allow at least three minutes for heater to cool
before turning off the battery master switch.
/ '

B. For ground operation the master battery switch must be ON or the airplane must be on i
external power. Operating the heater or cabin fan on battery only is not recommended y -
because of high current drain. The cabin FAN switch must be ON for all heater opera-
tion.
3. Heater protection.
A. The heater electrical system is protected by a circuit breaker located on the circuit break-
er panel.
B. A Duct Switch, located within the cabin right side floor duct, controls the temperature
within the ducts as selected by the pilot using the TEMPERATURE" Knob. This switch
has a maximum temperature setting to prevent damage to ducts. Under normal operation
this is the switch that controls the heater.
C. A Cycling Switch, mounted at the heater outlet is preset to cycle the heater off in case
the temperature exceeds the maximum normal heater operation temperature prior to the
duet switch reaching its pilot selected setting. After the temperature drops, the cycling
switch will automatically re-start the heater.
D. A Combustion Air P~rQSSure Switch senses pressure differential between the exhaust
stack and combustion -air inlet tube. The switch will open and de-energize the heater cir-
cuit if the combustion air flow drops below a predetermined sePing.

.. • . MAINTENANCE MANUAL
E. An Overheat Switch mounted on the heater case will turn off the heater if the tempera-
ture exceeds the maximum safe operating temperature. This is usually triggered by a hot
spot caused by low airflow through the heater. When the overheat switch turns off the
heater, a light (annunciator) identified as HEATER FAIL will illuminate.

— NOTE —
The heater fail light and automatic reset feature only apply to airframe 0356
and Subsequent. Earlier models have to be manually reset at the heater
unless they have been modified by the latest revision of Service Letter
SL600-45.

F. HEATER FAIL light will stay on until the temperature drops to a safe limit, at which time
the heater can be restarted by following the normal starting procedure and taking precau-
tions noted below.

— WARNING —
Prior to restarting the heater, ensure the following steps are followed
to prevent a fire hazard.

(1) Air Knob is full out (airframe 0001 thru 0455) and as many passenger floor out-
lets as possible are full open.
(2) The heater Temperature Knob is only out half of its full extension.
(3) Immediately shut off heater if HEATER FAIL annunciator comes on again after
attempting to restart. Do not operate heater again until it has been serviced by a
qualified repair station.
(4) After the heater has restarted, wait approximately 5 minutes and then, if desired,
the temperature knob may be pulled out for a higher temperature selection.
4. Windshield defrosting.
A. The windshield D E F R O S T control is attached to a butterfly valve in the windshield
defrost ducting. Pulling control fully out opens the butterfly valve to allow bleed or ram air
to be directed to the defroster outlet extending along the bottom of the windshield. The
defroster blower switch located next to the defrost control on the instrument panel acti-
vates the blower to provide maximum defrosting and additional cabin heat distribution
capability. Defrost air temperature is controlled by cabin air temp controls.

INSPECTION OF HEATER AND HEATER COMPONENTS.

1. Inspect all fuel lines and fittings for fuel stains, indicating leakage, and replace lines or tighten fit-
tings as necessary.
2. Check heater for loose bolts, screws and wiring.
3. Inspect all electrical connections for corrosion. If corrosion is evident, clean affected compo-
nents, and wipe with a lightly oiled cloth.

DAILY INSPECTION.

1. Inspect the ventilating air inlet scoop, combustion air inlet scoop, exhaust outlet and fuel drain for
possible obstructions. Make sure that all of these openings are clear of any restrictions and that
no damage has occurred to air scoop protrusions.
2. Look in the area of the combustion heater exhaust tube for large or unusual accumulation of soot
on the aircraft skin. Soot accumulations indicate that the heater is operating at a 'luel rich" con-
dition. A "fuel rich" condition may be caused by incorrect fuel pressure to the heater, restriction
in the combustion air iiilet line, loss of performance by the combustion air blower, or partially
clogged fuel nozzle.
3. Perform an operational check as follows:
A. Place the HEATER SWITCH in the ON (or HEAT) position. The ventilating air blower
and combustion air blower should operate and the heater OVER T E M P light should illu-
minate.
B. Operate both the combustion air blower and ventilating air blower and check each for
unusual current draw, noise or vibrations.

— NOTE —
To proceed with the operational check, follow paragraph entitled Heater
System Operational Check. The above procedure should be repeated one
or more times.

ADJUSTMENT/TEST OF SPARK PLUG. (Refer to Figure 21-21.)

1. ' Type I Sparl< Plug:


A. Tfie spark plug can be cfiecked visually for sparking across tfie gap prior to installing the
plug by the following nnethod:
(1) Disconnect the wire from the No. 3 terminal on the heater wiring side of the ter-
minal strip to de-energize the fuel solenoid valve.
(2) Connect the high voltage lead temporarily and lay the spark plug on the heater
jacket.
(3) Energize the heater system and check for spark between the spark plug and
ground electrode.

~ WARNING —
Be sure to plug the spark plug hole In the heater to prevent any possibility
of residual fuel blowing out and igniting.

Do not touch the spark plug while energized tjecause of dangerously high
voltage.

2. Type II Spark Plug:


A. Prior to installation, the spark plug can be checked visually for sparking across the gap
as follows:
(1) Install the spark plug in the special ground electrode fixture as shown in Figure
21-21 a. Screw the plug into the fixture until it is tight. Adjust the rod on the fix-
ture to obtain a gap of .156-.188 inch.
(2) Disconnect the wire from the No. 3 terminal on the heater wiring side of the ter-
minal strip to de-energize the fuel solenoid valve.
(3) Connect the high voltage lead temporarily and lay the spark plug in its special
ground electrode fixture on the heater jacket.
(4) Energize the heater system and check for spark between the spark plug and
ground electrode.
B. There are three methods for checking the spark plug gap for the Type II Plug. Methods I
and 11 are used when the heater is not disassembled. Method III is recommended when
the heater is being overhauled and before installation of the fuel nozzle.
(1) Method I:
(a) With a new gasket installed on the spark plug, measure the distance
between the spark plug seating surface and the end of the spark plug elec-
trode.
(b) Use a depth gauge to measure the distance between the ground electrode
in the heater to the spark plug seating surface in the heater jacket. Check
this measurement against the measurement obtained in the preceding
step. The difference should be between 0.156 to 0.188.
(c) Bend the ground electrode to obtain the required gap.

COOLING.

Tfie air conditioning system consists of two major component installations, i.e., tfie equipment package
and tfie evaporator package.
Tfie equipment package comprises tfie compressor (on electrically driven installations), drive motor, con-
denser fan, coil (condenser), and receiver-dryer. Tfie evaporator package consists of an evaporator coil, blower,
blower drive motor, and expansion valve. On engine driven compressor installations, tfie compressor is located
on tfie rigtit-fiand side of tfie rigfit engine.
Wfien tfie air conditioner is turned off, it is recommended tfiat a minimum of tfiree minutes elapse before
it is turned on again: Tfiis allows tfie compressor head pressure to bleed off and bring the starting load to normal.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. (Refer to Figure 21-26.)

The air conditioning system is a recirculating, independent unit. It filters, dehumidifies and cools the air as
it passes through the evaporator. The unit is operated from controls on the right side of the instrument panel. The
master switch has three positions: A / C , O F F , and FAN. When the A/C position is selected the compressor drive
motor or magnetic clutch operates to drive the compressor through the V-belt, the condenser fan operates, and
power is provided to the blower fan switch. The two-position HI-LO fan switch operates the blower. The blower
may be operated to circulate air without using the air conditioning unit by placing the master switch at FAN and
selecting desired blower speed.
The air conditioning system uses Refrigerant 12 as the refrigerant. The refrigerant enters the compressor
as a vapor. The compressor pressurizes the heat-laden vapor until its pressure and heat reach a point that is
much hotter than the outside air and pumps the vapor to the condenser where it cools and changes to a liquid.
The liquid then passes to the receiver-dryer which functions to filter, remove any moisture, and ensure a steady
flow of liquid refrigerant into the evaporator through the expansion valve. The expansion valve is a temperature
controlled metering valve which regulates the flow of the liquid refrigerant to the evaporator to allow all the liquid
to evaporate and return to the compressor at a reduced pressure. From the evaporator, the refrigerant vapor
returns to the compressor where the process is repeated.
The following precautions must be adhered to when operating the air conditioning system:
1. Do not attempt a battery start of the engines with the air conditioner "ON."
2. When the air conditioner is to be utilized during taxi, both engines must be operated at 1300
RPM to provide sufficient voltage and alternator output to prevent draining of the batteries.
3. After fuming the air conditioning system "OFF," allow a minimum of three minutes for compres-
sor head pressure to "bleed-down" before turning air conditioner "ON."
4. In-flight operation of the air conditioner is limited to DAY-VFR only with both alternators operating
(later systems will not function unless both alternators are on line).
5. In the event of an engine or altemator failure, the air conditioner must be turned off.
6. Run the air conditioner occasionally in the winter to keep the oil moving.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

1. The refrigerant used in the air conditioning system is R-12. This refrigerant is non-explosive, non-
flammable, non-corrosive, has practically no odor, and is heavier than air. Although R-12 is clas-
sified as a safe refrigerant, certain precautions must be observed to protect parts involved and
the person working on the unit.

2. . Uquid R:12, at normal atmospheric pressure and temperature, evaporates so quickly that
to freeze anything that it contacts. Care must be tal<en to prevent any liquid refrigerant from com-
ing in contact with the skin and especially the eyes. R-12 is readily absorised by most types of oil.
Therefore, it is recommended that a bottle of clean mineral oil and weak solution of boric acid be
kept nearby when sen/icing the refrigerant system.

— CAUTION —
Always wear safety goggles when servicing any part of the refrigerant sys-
tem. Should any liquid refrigerant get into the eyes, use a few drops of
mineral oil to wash them out, then use a weak solution of boric acid to
wash eyes, and seek aid from a doctor immediately even though the irrita-
tion has ceased.

3. It is important to keep the system tightly sealed, because the refrigerant system is always under
pressure. Heat applied to any part would cause this pressure to build up excessively.

— WARNING —
To avoid explosion, never weld, use a blow torch, solder, steam clean,
bake airplane finish or use excess amounts of heat on, or in the immediate
area of any part of the air cooling system or refrigerant supply tank, while
they are closed to atmosphere with refrigerant or not Although R-12 gas,
under normal conditions, is nonpoisonous, the discharge of refrigerant
gas near an open flame can produce a very poisonous gas. This gas will
also attack all bright metal surfaces. This poisonous gas is also generated
in small quantities when a flame type leak detector is used.

4. When checking the system for leaks, the system should be allowed to operate from 10 to 15 min-
utes prior to checking.

— CAUTION —
The use of a flame-type leak detector is not recommended for use on air-
planes tjecause of fire hazard.

5. The use of the electronic leak detector H-10 is recommended; however, if the H-10 leak detector
is not available, leak detector solution conforming to N/IIL-L-25567 can be used to check each fit-
ting, hose connection and air conditioning component.

SERVICINGyTESTING.

SPECIAL SERVICING PROCEDURES.

— NOTE —
These procedures apply to all conditions of charging and testing. Follow
> all local, state, and federal procedures regarding the evaluation, charging,
and recycling of air conditioning systems in addition or in lieu of the pro-
cedures listed in this manual as applicable.

, MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. Check all hose and fitting connections to be sure they are tight. This includes all factory or
assennbly line connections, as well as the connections you make.
2. Connect vacuum pump with hoses to both suction and discharge service valve ports. Turn both
compressor sen/ice valves approximately 4 turns clockwise from back seated position.
3. Pull vacuum on system for 20 minutes. Low pressure gauge should read about 20 inches of vac-
uum at 6000 feet altitude or 26 inches of vacuum at sea level within five minutes. For air condi-
tioning systems using a Sankyo compressor, the low pressure gauge should read about 23 inch-
es of vacuum at 6000 ft. altitude or 29 inches of vacuum at sea level within five minutes. If this is
not attained, you should suspect a leak, in which case, shut off vacuum pump, charge enough R-
12 into the system to show 30 psi on both gauges, and check for leak with Sherlock or Halide
Leak Detector.

— CAUTION-
DO not use electronic leak detector at this point.

4. After leaks are repaired, repeat Step 3 above.


5. After vacuum is obtained, shut off both valves on charging manifold. Then shut off vacuum pump.
Next, connect charging line from manifold to R-12 cylinder. Open cylinder valve and bleed charg-
ing line at manifold.
With R-12 cylinder valve open, and line bled, open low pressure (suction) line valve on manifold,
and charge unit until 70 psi is shown on both gauges, or until pressure stops rising.
6. You are now ready to operate and charge the system. Start the system and continue to charge
the unit until sight glass clears.
A. Observe glass carefully, and stop charging immediately as soon as bubbles disappear in
sight glass. This is important as overcharging electrically driven system can result in
damage to the drive motor.
B. Always charge with cylinder in upright position. If cylinder becomes very cold, indicating
too low a pressure to force vapor into system, heat cylinder by placing it in a container of
warm water.
7. When charging is finished, shut system off, and check every connection with Electronic Leak
Detector If any leak is detected, repair completely.

EVACUATION AND CHARGING PROCEDURES.

The evacuation and charging procedures given are factory recommended. If followed, these procedures
will give optimum results.

MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS.

The following equipment must be available to properly service the air conditioning system. •
1. Charging manifold and hoses.
2. Refrigerant can adapter.
3. 'R-12 refrigerant cans or R-12 cylinder
4. Vacuum pump capable of operating at at least 28 to 29 inches hg.
5. 1/4 inch open end wrench.

CHECKING THE SYSTEM FOR LEAKS.

The following instructions should be used in conjunction with the instructions provided by the manufactur-
er of the leak check equipment.

— NOTE —
In cold weather (below AO'F) a fully charged system will show a static-pres-
sure of less than 40 PSI. Therefore all leak checking should be done at
temperatures above SOT.

1. Connect the manifold gauge set to the system. Add a 50 PSI charge to the system. If the gauge
readings with the system shut off is less than 50 PSI, add refrigerant until the minimum charge is
obtained.
2. Conduct the leak check with the system shut off. Pay special attention to fittings, elbows and
hose connections. Because R-12 is heavier than air, pay special attention to the underside of
hoses and fittings.
3. If a stubborn small leak should be encountered, the high side of the system might require leak
testing while the airflow to the condenser is restricted in order to raise the high side pressure
above normal. The low side is checked in the off position with the pressure equalized in both
sides of the system.
4. A small leakage at the compressor shaft seals is normal (about 1 oz. per year). Since many leak
detectors are sensitive enough to show this normal leakage, their sensitivity should be reduced
when checking the compressor shaft seals.
A shaft seal leak may reseal itself through continued running. If a shaft seal should begin leaking,
the system should be recharged and left in service for a few hours to give the seal an opportunity
to reseal itself.
5. If a fitting should show a leak, do not overtighten it. Disassemble the fitting, check for damage
and concentricity, then reassemble it, applying refrigerant oil liberally to all mating surfaces.
6. Rubber-neoprene hoses leak at a fairly high level through the pores in the hose itself. Since the
leakage is spread over the entire surface of the hose itself, it will not be detected by leak detector
equipment This should be kept in mind when checking systems which do not have very much
additional charge over that actually required to provide complete usage of the evaporator and, as
a result of leakage, may require additional charge added at periodic intervals to replace that lost
by normal leakage.
7. Compressor gaskets are made of a fiber-neoprene composition which has a wicking action. Do
not mistake this action for a leak as it is normal and should be expected.

INITIAL CHARGING OF THE SYSTEM.

Following repair of the system, it will be necessary to charge the system with refrigerant. This procedure
must be carefully and completely performed, as incorrect charging could result in poor system performance or
even component damage.
1. Check the compressor oil level. (Refer to Checking Compressor Oil Level.)
2. Remove protective caps from service valve stems.
3. Insure that manifold gauge hand valves are fully closed and that the hoses are tightly connected
to the service fittings on the manifold.

4. Connect the high side gauge hose to the high side service fitting. (Discharge side on compres-
sor.)
5. Connect the low side gauge hose to the low side.service fitting. (Suction side on compressor.)
6. On the.Yorl< compressor, move both isolation valves on the compressor to their "mid-seated"
position.
7. Connect the vacuum pump to the center service hose.
, 8.. - Evacuate the system.
A. Open both hand valves on the gauge set and start the vacuum pump.
B. The low side gauge reading should reach 29" vacuum within a few minutes. Failure to
reach and/or hold this vacuum indicates-a leak. The leak must be repaired before pro-
ceeding.

— NOTE —
Due to the drop in atmospheric pressure with an increase in altitude, the
normal vacuum reading will drop approximately 1" Hg for each 1000 ft. of
altitude above sea level. Example: If field elevation is 5000 ft. above sea
level, the normal gauge reading during evacuation will be 24" Hg vacuum.

C. Continue evacuating the system for at least 15 minutes after the normal vacuum reading
is reached; shut off both hand valves and disconnect the vacuum pump.
9. Purge the system.
A. Connect the R-12 can to the center service hose, open the can valve and purge the hose
of air by loosening the center sen/ice hose fitting at the gauge set for about 5 seconds
B. Open the high side hand valve and allow gaseous Freon (hold can upright) to slowly
flow into the system until the low side gauge reads about 5 PSI. Shut off the hand valve.

— NOTE —
Adding R-12 to the high side provides confirmation that the expansion
valve is not plugged or stuck closed. This is done ONL Y during the initial
charging process with the system shut off.

— CAUTION —
Never open the high side hand valve while the system is operating.

10. Evacuate the system a second time per step 8. This should effectively remove traces of moisture
from the system.
11. Add R-12 to the system by the following method:
A. Connect the center service hose to the refrigerant container and purge air from the hose
as done in step 9.
B. Open the high side valve and allow gaseous Freon (can held upright) to enter the system
until the high and low side pressures equalize within 10 PSI.
C. Close the high side hand valve.

— NOTE —
It may be necessary to heat the R-12 container during the charging
process to maintain adequate pressure in the container for charging. Use
warm (125°F) water only to heat the container and avoid splashing any
onto the charging hose connections.

12. Operate the system (after checking to insure that the high side hand valve is closed).
A. Check for bubbles in the sight glass. After 1-2 minutes of running, the sight glass should
be clear or only show occasional bubbles.
B. If there is a steady stream of bubbles in the sight glass, add gaseous R-12 (can held
: upright) to the low side of the system until the sight glass is clear.
13. Performance test the system. • •

ADDING REFRIGERANT TO A SYSTEM WITH A L O W C H A R G E . . . . . .

A small loss of refrigerant (approx. 1 02. per year) is normal as tfie compressor seals will probably leak
tfiis amount. However tfiis leakage may be increased by several times if the air conditioning.system is not
periodically run in the winter.
A loss of any more than a few ounces of refrigerant a year would indicate a leak which should be
repaired before sen/icing the system. If a large amount of refrigerant has been lost, and/or there are indications of
oil loss from the system, the compressor oil level should be checked.
To add refrigerant to a system with a low charge:
1. Connect the manifold gauge set to the system and refrigerant supply. Purge the air from all three
service hoses. (Refer to step A under Initial Charging of the System.)
2. Stabilize the system by operating it on HIGH fan for 10 minutes.
3. Add R-12 to the system's low pressure side orily:
A. Insure that the service lines have been purged of air and that the refrigerant can is held
upright.
B. Open the low side hand valve.

— NOTE —
As the liquid R-12 in the can vaporizes, there will be less pressure avail-
able for charging the system. If necessary, the can may be heated by
immersing it in hot water (125°F maximum).

Charging with liquid refrigerant to the low side is not recommended.

C. Stop charging as soon as no bubbles are observed in the sight glass.

— CAUTION —
Never open the high side hand valve while the system is operating.

4. Performance test the system.

CHARGING THE SYSTEM WITH A CHARGING STAND.

1. Connect the manifold gauge set to the system.


2. Connect the charging stand to the center port of the manifold gauge set.
3. Insure that the hose from the charging stand to the center port is purged of air.
4. Open the high pressure control valve and close the low pressure control valve.
5. Open the refrigerant control valve on the charging stand and allow as much refrigerant to enter
the high side of the system as possible.
6. After completion of charging, close all valves on the charging stand.
7. On the York compressor, back seat the compressor service valves (fully counterclockwise).
8. Remove the manifold gauge set and hoses from the service valves using caution due to the
small amount of refrigerant remaining in the hoses.
9. Replace all access panels and install the engine cowling.

PERFORMANCE TESTiNG SYSTEM.

A performance test of the system is recommended to verify that it has been properly repaired, sen^iced or
charged. The system should be given this test before initiating repairs, after repairs have been completed or fol-
lowing installation of a new unit. The performance test should be accomplished annually at the beginning of the
cooling season.
1. Visual Inspection.
A. Drive belts for security, condition, proper alignment and tension.
B. Mounting brackets for security and condition.
C. Hoses and wiring for proper routing, chafing, kinks or interference with other parts of the
aircraft.
D. Condenser and evaporator coils for cleanliness and restriction. Bent fins should be
combed straight.
E. Fans and blowers for proper operation at all speeds.
F. , Compressor oil level.

— NOTE —
Leaks can sometimes be visually detected by an oily spot on a hose or fit-
ting as oil is carried out of the system by escaping refrigerant.

G. Louvers and ducts for condition.


H. instrument panel placards and switch labels as specified in the Flight Manual
Supplement and other STC data for placement and legibility.
2. Connect a manifold gauge set to the system.

3. Stabilize the system by operating it on high fan for 10 minutes.
' 4. Check high side and low side pressures. Low side (suction) pressure should be 20-40 PSI while
high side (discharge) pressure will vary from 150-285 PSI depending on ambient temperature.
(See Chart 2109.)

OAT(°F) HIGH PRESSURE READING


80 165-185
90 190-210
100 220-250

Note: Individual systems may vary somewhat from these values.

5. Check sight glass for bubbles.


6. Measure evaporator performance. The air leaving the evaporator outlet should be approximately
20°F cooler than the air entering the evaporator when the fan is running on high. A poor tempera-
ture drop indicates a problem in the system while an excessive temperature drop can be caused
by inadequate airflow through the evaporator coil. Temperature drop will be less on days when
the relative humidity exceeds 70%.
7. Check amperage draw of total system and/or individual components. (Refer to Chart 2110.)

System Component Amps

1.5 HP Compressor Drive Motor 40-45


Condenser Fan 14-16
Evaporator Blower (Dual) 10-12

8. Check relative temperatures of hoses. The high side hose should be uniformly wami along its
entire length. A sudden drop in the temperature of the hose indicates a restriction at that point.
The low side hose should be uniformly cool without frost build-up.
9. Measure condenser air temperature rise on condenser coils. The air flowing through the con-
denser should be wamried by 30-40''F. A higher temperature rise indicates questionable air flow
through the coil.

— NOTE —
Observe all safety precautions and suggestions recommended for the han-
dling of R-12.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Discharging the system is required before replacing most components, except the York compressor
which has isolation valves. A manifold gauge set is.used to control the rate of discharge and minimize the loss of
refrigerant oil.
1. With the system not running, remove the protective caps from the test fittings on both the high
and low sides of the system.
2. Insure that both manifold hand valves, are closed. Then connect the manifold gauge set low and
high side hoses to the low and high side service fittings respectively.
3. Place the free end of the manifold gauge set center hose in a clean container.
4. Slowly open the valve on the low side of the manifold just enough to let the refrigerant flow out of
the center hose without excessive loss of refrigerant oil. Continue until both gauges register 0
PSI.
5. Measure the amount of oil collected in the container and add this amount of new refrigerant oil to
the compressor prior to recharging the system.

FLUSHING A CONTAMINATED SYSTEM.

Because the air conditioning system is a closed system and isolated from the environment, flushing
would be required only under unusual circumstances (such as excessive amounts of corrosion or the use of an
incorrect oil).
To flush the contaminated system:
1. Discharge the system. (Refer to Discharging the System.)
2. . Remove the receiver/dryer and replace with a union.
3. Remove the expansion valve and replace with a union.
4. Disconnect the lines to the compressor.
5. Using an appropriate fitting, connect a container of R-11 to the discharge hose removed from the
compressor.

— NOTE —
Methyl Alcohol can be used to flush the system in lieu of R-11, if desired.

6. Use a pump to circulate the R-11 for at least 15 minutes to ensure thorough cleaning of the lines,
or until clean R-11 flows from the suction hose.
7. Install a new receiver/dryer, expansion valve and compressor in the system.
8. Charge the system; then follow nonnal service procedures.

CHECKING COMPRESSOR OIL LEVEL (YORK COMPRESSOR).

Check the compressor oil level only if a portion of the refrigerant system is being replaced or if there is a
leak in the system and the refrigerant is being replaced.
1. Operate air conditioning system for 15 minutes in temperatures of 60°F or above.
2. Turn off the air conditioner.
3. Discharge the refrigerant system in accordance with Discharge Procedures.
4. Remove either oil filler plug from the compressor, rotate the compressor until the keyway in the
shaft is pointing towards the head of the compressor. This places the throws of the crankshaft
into most favorable position for passage of the dipstick.
5. Insert the dipstick (refer to Figure 21-34) in the oil filler hole until it bottoms. The rod should show
from 7/8 inch to 1-1/8 inch of oil on the rod. The oil charge should be maintained between six
ounces and 10 ounces for best results.
6. If additional oil is needed in the compressor, add Sunisco 5 or Capella E refrigerant compressor
oil, or equivalent
7. Replace oil filler plug, evacuate and charge refrigerant system in accordance with Evacuating
and Charging Procedures:
8. Check compressor filler plug for leaks using the H-10 Leak Detector or Leak Tek MIL-L-25567.

— NOTE —
When inserting the oil fill plug, slip the sealing O-ring over the oil fill plug
threads in such a manner that the O-ring is not twisted.

If the plug should leak, do not attempt to stop the leak by overtightening
the oil check plug. The leak may be caused by dirt under the O-ring or on
the seat, a broken O-ring, or a damaged seat on the oil fill plug or oil fill
opening.

CHECKING COMPRESSOR OIL LEVEL (SANKYO COMPRESSOR).

Whenever a system component has been replaced or there is an obvious leak, use the following proce-
dure to check the compressor oil level (after making necessary repairs):
1. Determine the compressor mounting angle by.positioning an angle protractor across the flat sur-
faces of the two front mounting ears.
— NOTE —
The outboard ears (4) on the engine mounted Sankyo compressor have
been removed. Use the upper inboard ear and the upper outboard ear
boss to determine the mounting angle.

2. Center the bubble and read the mounting angle to the closest degree.
3. ' Discharge the freon from the air conditioning system slowly until the low side gauge reads 0 psi.
(Refer to Connecting the Manifold and Hose and Discharging the System.)
4. Remove the oil filler plug.
5. Look through the oil filler plug hole and rotate the clutch front plate to position the internal parts
as shown in Figure 21-33.
A. If the compressor is mounted to the right (facing the pulley and clutch)(refer to Figure 21 -
35), center the parts as they are moving to the rear of the compressor (discharge stroke).
B. If the compressor is mounted to the left (facing the pulley and clutch)(refer to Figure 21-
35), center the parts as they are moving to the front of the compressor (suction stroke).

— NOTE —
This step is necessary to clear the dipstick of internal parts and to allow its
insertion to full depth.

REPLACEMENT OF DRIVE BELTS.

1. To replace Polyflex belt:


A. For pallet mounted compressor installations, loosen motor mounting stud nuts and swing
motor towards compressor. For engine mounted compressor installations, loosen ten-
sioner bracket and swing compressor towards engine. Do not stretch or twist new belts
when installing on pulleys.
B: Be sure that the pulley grooves are clean and free of residue or foreign materials (such
as belt dressings).

— NOTE —
Do not apply belt dressings to Polyflex belts.

C. Check alignment of drive and driven pulley by placing a straightedge across the face of
both. Use Loctite on the set screw threads (pallet mounted compressor motor). Polyflex
belts cannot tolerate a misalignment of pulleys.
D. If frequent belt failures have been experienced, check pulley runout with a dial indicator.
Radial runout should not exceed .020".
E. Tighten motor mounting studs (pallet mounted compressor installations) or belt tensioner
bracket (engine mounted compressor installations) to maintain a belt tension of 30
pounds (35 pounds for engine mounted compressor installations). Use only AJBS28-1
Polyflex tension meter to check this tension.
F. When installing new belts:
(1) Set belt tension.
(2) After 1/2 hour operation, reset belt tension.
(3) After an additional 1/2 hour, reset belt tension.
(4) After an additional 5 hours of air conditioning operation, reset belt tension.
2. To replace 3/8" single v-belt:
A. For pallet mounted compressor installations, loosen motor mounting stud nuts and swing
motor towards compressor. For engine mounted compressor installations, loosen ten-
sioner bracket and swing compressor towards engine. Do not stretch or twist new belts
when installing them on the pulleys.
B. Be sure that the pulley grooves are clean and free from residue of previous belts or for-
eign material.
C. Check alignment of drive and driven pulley by placing a straightedge across the face of
both.
D. For pallet mounted compressor installations, adjust alignment of pulleys by loosening the
set screw on the motor pulley and sliding it on the motor's shaft. When reinstalling the
pulley, use only a self-locking (Nyloc) set screw or use Loctite on the threads.
E. For engine mounted compressor installations, align the compressor pulley with the aft
alternator pulley by using the (4) AN960-616L washers between the inboard upper com-
pressor ears and the mounting boss on the end of the compressor support bracket.
F. Tighten the motor mounting studs or belt tensioner bracket (on engine mounted com-
pressor installations). To maintain a belt tension of 30-35 pounds using the JBS 28 ten-
sion meter.
G. After one hour of operation, reset tension (for a new belt).

1. Remove the self-locking capscrew and washer from the compressor shaft.
2. Insert a 4/8-11 VNC-2B bolt in the threaded portion of the hub and tighten. The pressure exerted
by the bolt on. the end of the compressor crankshaft will force off the rotor pulley assembly with-
out damage to the clutch or compressor

— CAUTION —
Do not use awheel puller on the outer flange of the pulley. This can dam-
age the pulley grooves or clutch bearings.

3. Remove the four bolts securing the field assembly against the compressor bosses and remove
the bolts, washers and field assembly.

MAGNETIC CLUTCH INSTALLATION (YORK COMPRESSOR).

1. Position the field assembly against the compressor bosses, with the electrical leads to the cylin-
der side of the compressor.
2. Secure the field assembly with four capscrews and Iockwashers, do not torque at this tihie.
3. Connect the electrical lead from the field assembly.

— NOTE —
The compressor shaft must t}e clean and free from burrs.

4. Slide the pulley assembly over the field assembly and onto the crankshaft. Now torque the field
assembly 85 to 120 inch-pounds. Then secure the pulley assembly with a washer and new self-
locking capscrew.

— NOTE —
If the clutch is not engaged while tightening the capscrew, insert a spanner
Into the holes provided in the armature face.

5. Spin the pulley by hand to check for any interference between the field and rotor pulley assem-
blies. A rubbing noise can be heard as the pulley rotates if there is interference. The rotor pulley
assembly must be removed and the mounting of the field assembly adjusted until the interfer-
ence is eliminated. . . , -

COMMUNICATIONS.

The communication system consists primarily of a VHF air-to-air and air-to-ground system. However,
some airplanes are also equipped with HF. The VHF is used mainly for the shorter ranges, while the HF system
is utilized for medium and long range use.

DESCRIPTION.

The VHF system is composed of two identical transceivers, designated COM-1 and COf^-2. Each is con-
nected to its remotely mounted power supply, which furnishes the input voltage to the transceiver. An audio
switching panel is provided for system selection, as well as choice of speal<er or headphone audio. Individual
fuselage mounted antennas complete the VHF installation.
The HF system, in those airplanes so equipped, is comprised of a single, remotely mounted transceiver.
A panel mounted control unit provides all of the functional audio output interfaces with the VHF system at the
audio switching panel where system selection and choice of speaker or headphones can be made. Two different
antenna configurations are provided for the HF system; a fixed antenna, or an electric reel trailing wire type.
The airplane is also equipped with a static-discharging system composed of ESD-3 Static Dischargers.
Use of these devices minimizes receiver noise on the HF, VHF and navigation systems during periods of static
electricity build-up.

PRECAUTIONS.

1. Operating and maintenance personnel should be aware of the potential electrical shock hazard
that exists in the output stage of the HF transceiver. When in the transmitting mode, high RF
potentials are present at the antenna. Personnel should keep a minimum distance of several feet
from exposed portions of the antenna and RF terminals.
2. The Auxiliary Power Unit must be switched "ON" and the voltage allowed to stabilize at 24 to 28
volts DC before installing the external power plug in the tail receptacle. Since power will be auto-
matically supplied to the bus, the more delicate electrical components will be protected from
external power supply voltage spikes by ensuring that the radio master switch is "OFF" as long
as external power is connected.
3. Only authorized personnel should install or remove components or perform maintenance on the
communication system.

SYSTEM TEST.

1. Refer to the section titled Operational Test (VHF).


A. Perfomri Com-1 operational test with tower or station in vicinity.
B. Repeat Step A for Com-2.
2. Refer to one of the following sections (as applicable) for the HF Operational Test: SB-10
Transceiver Operational Check (Fixed Antenna), Trailing Wire Antenna Operational Check, or
Operational Check (Fixed Antenna).
A. Perform HF operational test.

SPEECH COMMUNICATIONS.

VHF COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM (COLLINS).

The VHF system provides air-to-air and air-to-ground voice communications in the frequency range of
118 to 136 MHZ, and is composed of two transceivers, power supplies, and antennas. An audio switching panel
integrates the receiver outlets and system selection, also allowing for choice of speaker or headphone audio.
The two transceivers, Com-1 and Com-2, are centrally located on the radio stack, and contain all of the
controls necessary for operation of the system. See Figure 23-4 for appearance and location of indicators and
controls.
A power converter furnishes the operating voltage for the system. It is composed of two independent volt-
age reducing regulators which provide 13.75 V DC for the transceivers from the airplane's 28 V DC power bus.
The two power converters are located in the nose section and are mounted above the center shelf on the fonward
side of fuselage station 54.25 bulkhead. Each unit is connected by wiring to its respective transceiver
The antennas provided with the system are ANT-251 communication antennas. Each is connected to its
respective transceiver through 50-ohm coaxial transmission line. Com-1 antenna is fuselage mounted above the
aft portion of the cabin, while Com-2 antenna is fuselage mounted above the baggage compartment.

An audio switciiing panel located above the transceivers on the radio stacl< provides .switch selection of
Com-1 and Com-2 VHF, as well as speaker or headphone audio. The audio panel also contains components
which are not specifically used in the communications system, and is therefore dual purpose. See Figure 23-4,
Detail B.
The operating frequency may be recalled from memory by using the recall function of the transceiver, or
a new frequency may be selected. Othenwise, the last frequency in use will be the one the transceiver is tuned to
and will appear at the electronic display on the transceiver front panel.
When the transceiver is in the transmit mode, the RF output can be monitored by observing the "XMIT'
indicator light on the transceiver panel. Light intensity corresponds to microphone audio level, and is therefore a
relative indication of modulation percentage. During periods of transmission, sidetone will be audible in head-
phones as an additional transmission indicator.

HF COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM.

DESCRIPTION.

The HF system provides air-to-air and air-to-ground voice communications in the frequency range of 2.8
to 18 MHz. The HF system makes possible reliable medium and long range communications, depending on the
time of day and various other propagation factors. The HF system consists of a single-sideband (SSB) and com-
patible amplitude modulated (AM) transceiver, control head, and an antenna coupler working into a fixed or trail-
ing wire antenna. An audio switching panel is provided for selection of desired Com system and choice of speak-
er or headphone audio.

SB-10 PANTRONICS HF SYSTEM.

The SB 10 transceiver contains the transmitting and receiving elements of the system, and features 10
crystal controlled channels with temperature control for frequency stability. The transceiver contains an integral
power supply. Either of two operating modes may be used, SSB or compatible AM. In the SSB Mode, only upper
sideband may be selected. Transmitter power output is a nominal 100 watts SSB or 50 watts on AM. A warm-up
time of 10-20 minutes is recommended to allow the crystal controlled circuits to reach operating temperature and
the frequency to stabilize. The SB 10-CH control head is a panel mounted unit where all of the operating controls
and related functions are located for centralized operation of the system, as follows:
1. The microphone amplifier provides impedance matching between the mike and succeeding cir-
cuits, also increasing audio power to required level for the operation of the loudspeakers.
2. The channel selector control is a 10-position rotary switch, enabling remote channel selection.
Any 10 frequencies in the 2.8 to 18 MHz HF range may be chosen.
3. The ON-OFF-VOL control energizes the system by rotating knob clockwise. Increased rotation
sets audio to desired level.
4. The clarifier control is used to improve audio response. Rotating the control causes the received
frequency to shift slightly, thus improving audio voice quality. A range of at least ±150 Hz is pos-
sible by use of this feature.
5. A relative power output meter completes the control head functions. Observing meter during
transmission gives an indication of RF Power output as well as modulation level.
The KMA-20 Audio Panel/Marker Beacon provides integration of the audio system. Since the unit con-
tains components not specifically related to the HF System, it serves a dual purpose. Later airplanes were
equipped with an AMR-350 H Audio Panel instead of the KMA-20. Both types provide similar functions.
The Antenna Load Unit is used to tune the fixed wire antenna in order to achieve maximum power output,
resulting in optimum HF performance. The load unit is made up of variable inductance and capacitance forming a
"Pi" network which is commonly used to properly tune a fixed, mobile antenna. Once the load unit is properly
tuned or matched to a particular antenna, it will not require any other attention during normal operations. The
transceiver RF output is fed through the load unit to the fixed wire antenna which is installed between the right
wing tip and the vertical stabilizer.
After selection of the HF System at the audio switching panel, power is applied to the transceiver at the
control head. The operational mode, SSB or AM, and the desired channel are selected at this time. Allowing 10-
20 minutes for equipment warm-up renders the system operational. After contact with a station is made, transmit-
ter power output can be monitored by observing the relative power meter at the control head. Received informa-
tion is routed to the audio switching panel, thence to either the cabin speakers or headphones.

— NOTE —
Normally It is not practical to attempt transmission while the airplane is on
the ground. This is due to antenna tyeing fully reeled in, therefore transmit-
ter would not be correctly loaded into antenna. In order to perform a nor-
mal operational check a test flight should Ije obtained.

1. After airplane is airborne select HF at audio switcfiing panel and speaker or fieadptione audio.
2. Apply power to SB-10 transceiver and allow 5-10 minute warm-up.
3. Set mode switcfi to AM and select desired channel.
4. Begin extending antenna and key transmitter while observing tuning meter.

5. While antenna is "extending" tuning meter will go towards a "max" reading, transmitter keyed.
6. Going beyond this length will cause meter reading to decrease. Find point of maximum reading
by adjusting antenna length as required. Antenna is now tuned for selected channel. Any other
channel can be tuned similarly.
7. Select transmission mode if other than AM.
8. Contact station and obtain Com check. •
9. Obsen/e that relative power meter shows output with pointer fluctuating on voice peaks, indicat-

11. When test is completed, retract antenna and turn equipment OFF.

ASB-100A HF SYSTEM (SUNAIR).

The ASB-100A Communications Equipment is a lightweight, 10-Channel, single sideband (SSB) and
compatible amplitude modulated (AM) transceiver designed for medium and long range communications in the 2-
18 MHz frequency range.
The system consists of three units; the RE 1000 Receiver/Exciter, the PA-101 OA Power Amplifier/Power
Supply, and the SCU-10 Control Unit.
Operation of the system, power output and antenna requirements are similar to that of the older SB-10
Pantronics System.

DESCRIPTION.

The SCU-10 Control Unit is panel mounted for remote operation of the ASB-100A System. The controls
located in this unit are as follows:
1. The RF Gain control, volume control and ON-OFF switch are all on one knob. The RF gain con-
trol provides the operator with a means for adjusting the receiver sensitivity to the desired level,
while the volume control is used to adjust the audio level. The 2-section on-off switch, operated
by the volume control shaft, controls the on-off power relay located in the Power Amplifier/Power
Supply Unit, while the other switch section is used for the panel lights.
2. A clarifier control provides the operator with a means to obtain natural voice quality audio.
3. The mode selector is used to select the mode of operation desired, upper sideband (USB), lower
sideband (LSB) or compatible Amplitude Modulation (AM). Only upper sideband may be selected
for normal operation.
4. The meter in the Control Unit provides the operator with a means of checking the operation of the
transmitter and fixed antenna system and can also be used as a tuning indicator for a trailing
wire antenna. The meter indicates relative transmitter power output.
RE-1000 Receiver/Exciter - This unit contains the complete receiver section and the exciter portion of the
transmitter Channeling of this unit is controlled by a rotary solenoid remotely controlled by the SCU-10 control
unit. The microphone and headphone jacks and intercabling connectors are located on the front of the unit. The
sidetone potentiometer for adjusting the sidetone output level is accessible from the front of the unit.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
PA-1010A Power Amplifier/Power Supply - This unit contains the amplifier driver, power amplifier and
power supply for the system. Channeling of this unit is accomplished by means of a rotary solenoid that is con-
trolled by the rotary in the receiver/exciter unit. All connections for inter-unit cabling, the 28V fuse and the Hi-Lo
power switch are located on the front of the unit.
CU-110 Antenna Coupler - This unit provides an optimum impedance match between the transmitter
power output stage and the antenna. Pre-tuning to each channel is required, after which the unit will need little or
no attention.
Antenna requirements - The ASB-100A system can be used with either a fixed antenna system or a trail-
ing wire antenna. A fixed antenna installation consists of the antenna, either bare wire or an anti-precipitation
type, with an antenna coupler tuned to the fixed antenna. A trailing wire antenna can be either manually or electri-
cally operated.

TUNING ANTENNA COUPLER AND ASB-100A COIVIPONENTS.

Refer to the latest revisions of Sun Air Operation and maintenance manual P/N 99398 for the ASB-100A

TESTING EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER. ' "

The transmitter operates on the emergency frequencies of 121.5 and 243 IVIHz; both of these frequencies
are monitored by the various FAA installations. Before performing any operational test of the ELT, ttie following
precautions should be observed:

— CAUTION —
Testing of an ELT should be conducted in a screen room or metal enclo-
sure to ensure that electromagnetic energy is not radiated during testing. If
a shielded enclosure is not available, testing may be performed in accor-
dance with the following procedures:

A. Test should be no longer than three audio sweeps.


B. If the antenna is removed, a dummy load should be substituted during the test.
C. Test should be conducted only within the time period made up of the first five minutes
after any hour.
D. If the operational tests must be made at a time not included within the first five minutes
after the hour, the test should be coordinated with the closest FAA tower or flight service
station.
Consult FAA advisory circular AC20-81 for detailed information concerning above caution.
1. Tune the airplane's communications receiver to 121.5 f^Hz and switch the receiver ON; deacti-
vate the squelch, and turn the receiver volume up until a slight background noise is heard.

— WARNING —
Whenever the unit is checked by moving the transmitter ON/OFF/ARM
switch from the arm to the ON position, it must then be moved to the OFF
position before reverting to the ARM position again.

— CAUTION —
Under normal conditions, the transmitter switch must be set to ARM.

2. On the transmitter, set the ON/OFF/ARM switch to the ON position. Keep the switch in this posi-
tion for only a few seconds; then set to the OFF position. Return to the ARM position.

— NOTE —
The test transmission should have been picked up by the airplane commu-
nications receiver. During cold weather, there may lye a slight delay before
transmission occurs.

3. A transmitter which is functioning property should emit a characteristic downward swept tone.
4. When the test is completed, move the transmitter ON/OFF/ARM switch to the OFF position then
to the ARM position.

AUDIO INTEGRATINa SYSTEM. . . . .

The audio integrating system provides a means for centralized control of all receiver audio outputs, both
communications and navigational, for distribution to headphones or cabin speaker. Provision is also made at the
panel for selection of microphone input to either Com-1 or Com-2 transceiver.

DESCRIPTION.

The AMR-350 audio/marker panel provides all of the necessary functions for integrated audio control. It is
composed of two sections, an audio switching section and an integral beacon marker receiver. See Figure 23-14
for detailed appearance and location of controls and indicators.
The audio section of the unit provides switching for seven inputs; two VHF navigational receivers, one
ADF, one DME, and one marker beacon input. Operation of panel toggle switches selects any of these inputs for
speaker or headphone audio monitoring purposes. A three-position rotary switch selects Com-1 or Com-2 trans-
ceiver mike input, with the last position being used for a ramp hailer speaker, if so equipped. The "Auto" position
insures audio follows the selected Com system.
In airplanes having an HF communications system in addition to the above, an extra HF panel position is
required. The AMR-350H audio/marker panel is designed for the extra HF input, and is provided in airplanes so
equipped. Some airplanes having an HF installation were equipped with a KMA-20-04 audio panel, being func-
tionally similar to the AMR-350H.
Both pilot and co-pilot positions are furnished with a mike and headphone jack. These are located on the
lower right and left instrument panels. The microphone must be matched to the transceiver input requiring a stan-
dard 100 ohm impedance microphone (Shure 488-T or equivalent). The headphones are standard 500 ohm
impedance units.
Operator selects Com-1 or Com-2 and speaker or headphone audio as desired. After energizing the
selected transceiver and readying the system for operation, depressing the push-to-talk switch and speaking in
mike results in voice transmission to the selected station. Received information is routed through the audio panel
to speaker or headphones. When operator desires to monitor any of the panel inputs, operation of the proper tog-
gle switch provides the selected audio.

TROUBLESHOOTING.

Refer to Chart 2305 for Audio/Marker Panel troubleshooting procedures.

STATIC DISCHARGING.

A total of 16 ESD-3 discfiarge wicks are installed on tfie airplane; tfiree on eacfi wing, tfiree on eacfi fiori-
zontal stabilizer, tfiree on tfie vertical stabilizer and one on the tail cone.

DESCRIPTION.

As an airplane passes through freezing rain, dust, sand and snow, contact is made with particles, which
after impact, leave a positive or negative charge on the airplane. As the charge builds up, a potential is reached
at which time the accumulated charge begins to leak off the airplane and antennas, thus generating a broadband
radio frequency noise. This noise is received on ADF and HF, as well as on VHF receivers. Noise of this type can
cause navigational errors in flight as well as excessive receiver noise, resulting in unreliable communications. To
minimize these effects, the static discharger wicks bleed off the static charge quietly and effectively.

STATIC WICKS.

REMOVAL OF ESD-3 STATIC DISCHARGE WICKS. (Refer to Figure 23-18.)

1. Remove mounting base/doubler from control surface. Leave static wick in place on the base.
Remove Cherry rivets per Chapter 20.

INSTALLATION OF ESD-3 STATIC DISCHARGE WICKS. (Refer to Figure 23-18.)

1. Attach static discharger to mounting plate at designated locations with two rivets.
2. Attach wick base/doubler to control surface. Ensure a good electrical bond by thoroughly clean-
ing surfaces which will come in contact.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

GENERAL.
The Aerostar is equipped with a 28 volt negative ground electrical system composed of two 12 volt batteries,
two DC alternators, and protective devices such as regulators, over-voltage relays, isolation diodes and circuit
breakers. Provision is made for the connection of external power through a standard three prong receptacle.
Aerostar 700P's and some 600, 601, 601P, and 602P's have one 24 volt battery.

DESCRIPTION.

The>two 12 volt batteries, connected in series, are used to crank the engines and carry the starting load until
the alternators come on the line at 2000 rpm maximum.,The output of the alternators is impressed across the
main power bus. Each alternator is capable of carrying the entire normal electrical load by itself. Once the
alternators come up to speed, charging of the batteries will occur through normal regulator action. A panel
mounted combination volt/ammeter monitors the system voltage and current. Electrical circuits are fed from the
main power bus through circuit breakers while the radio and similar equipment is fed from the avionics bus.

PRECAUTIONS.

The fbllowihg precautions should be observed when installing, testing or servicing the electrical system:
1. Disconnect the battery before connecting or disconnecting test instruments (except voltmeter) or
' before removing or replacing any unit or wiring.
2. The Auxiliary Power Unit must be turned "ON" and the voltage allowed to stabilize at 24 to 28 volts
before installing the external power plug in the tail receptacle. Since power will be automatically
supplied to the bus,.the more delicate electrical components will be protected from external power
- supply voltage spikes by ensuring that the Radio Master Switch is, OFF and the autopilot circuit
breakers are pulled. The battery and alternator switches must be turned " O F F as long as external
power is connected.

SYSTEM TEST.

1. Test.

A. Perform the following system test:

(1) Start engines. (Refer to Flight Manual for starting procedures.) After engines
warm up, set to 1500 rpm.
(2) Set left and right Alternator Switches to OFF.
(3) Establish system load of 25-30 amps approximately.
(4) Turn Battery Switch " O F P and right Alternator Switch "ON".
(5) Ensure right alternator comes on line and check system voltage (27 ± 1 V
approximate).
(6) Turn right Alternator OFF. Turn left Alternator ON and check that it comes on
line. Check system voltage. (27 ± 1 V approximate.)
(7) If both alternators check OK, turn Battery Switch "ON" and both (right and
left) Alternators "ON".
(8) increase system load to 40 amps and check output of both alternators.
(9) If difference in alternator output is greater than 4 amps, perform the following
step. If difference is 4 amps or less, system is normal arid no further
adjusment is required.
(10) Adjust regulators per section titled Voltage Regulator.

ALTERNATOR DRIVE.
The Alternator Drive operates from the starting ring gear which is fitted with a V groove to
accommodate the alternator drive belt. Located at the forward end of the engine, the drive belt runs
over an adjustable idler pulley to complete the loop to the alternator

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

DESCRIPTION.

The 600, 601, 601P, 602P and 700P are fitted with belt driven alternators, one for each engine. The drive
belts are of the V-type, adjustable for proper tension. There is no provision for remote indication of belt function,
other than normal alternator action. Since the drive is fixed, alternator speed is directly proportional to engine
rpm. An alternator warning light will illuminate (A/F 0256 and up) when its respective altemator fails for various
reasons. One of these causes of failure could be a brol<en or slipping drive belt. >tonitoring the altemator output
with the voltammeter will readily determine if an alternator has failed.

TROUBLESHOOTING.

Refer to Troubleshooting Charts 2402 and 2403.

ALTERNATOR BELT SERVICE.

1. Removal/Installation.

A. Removal.
(1) Remove engine cowling.
(2) Remove propeller assembly per Chapter 61.
(3) Remove alternator drive belt.
B. Installation.
(1) Install alternator drive belt. (Refer to AdjustmenfTest.)
(2) Install propeller assembly per Chapter 61
(3) Replace engine cowling.
2. Adjustment/Test.
A. Tension Adjustment.
(1) Loosen idler pulley lock nut (cowling removed).
(2) Rotate idler pulley on its cam mounting to swing down against drive belt.
(3) Using the torque method of checking belt tension, adjust pulley for a belt tension
of 13-15 ft. lbs. for a new belt or 9-11 ft. lbs. for a used belt, (700P, 80 ± 5 lbs
static).
(4) Run engine for 15 minutes at 1200 rpm. Shut down engine and recheck belt tension.
(5) Retention belt as required and tighten pulley lock nut.
(6) Replace cowling.
B. Checking Belt Tension. There are three satisfactory methods of checking altemator belt
tension; however, the first method described will be found more preferable because it is
technically simple and requires little time to accomplish:

(1) Torque f^ethod.


(a) Apply a torque indicating wrench to the alternator pulley nut.
(b) Turn nut in a clockwise director) and obsen/e the torque shown on the
wrench the instant the pulley'slips.

Torque indicated at
Width of Belt Condition Alternator Pulley

3/8 inch New 11 to 13ft.-lbs.


3/8 inch Used 7 to 9 ft. lbs.
1/2 inch New 13to 15ft.-lbs.
(700P, 80 ± 5 lbs. static)
1/2 inch Used 9 to 11 ft.-lbs.

—NOTE—

The higher tension specified for a new belt is to compensate for the initial
stretch that takes place as soon as it is operated. These higher tension values
should not be applied to belts which previously have been used.

(2) Deflection f^ethod.


(a) Attach the hook of a small spring scale to the belt at the approximate
midpoint between the ring gear support and the generator.
(b) Pull on the scale until a reading of 14 pounds (for a new belt) or 10
pounds (for a used belt) is achieved.
(c) Measure the distance the belt has moved with the 10 or 14 pound force
applied. The distance should be 5/16"; if the distance is less than 5/16",
the belt is too tight.
(3) Belt Tension Gauge.
(a) Use a belt tension gauge such as the Burroughs "Deluxe" Model (or
equivalent).
(b) Attach the gauge over the belt per the manufacturer's instnjctions.
(c) Quickly release the handle and reset the tension.
(d) Repeat Steps (b) and (c) several times to eliminate the possibility of an
inaccurate reading.

—NOTE—
Slight variations in readings taken at different locations on the belt are normal.

(e) If a new belt is installed, set the tension about 25% above operating
range to allow for stretch that will occur as soon as the belt has been in
operation.

Tlie electrical power is generated by two self-excited Prestolite alternators,-belt driven by eacfi engine.
Eacfi altemator is capable of providing tfie normal power requirement of tfie airplane ensuring sufficient backup in
tfie event tfiat one alternator fails. Voltage regulation is achieved by the use of regulators arid over voltage relays.
The entire system is protected by fuses and circuit breakers. Two 12-volt batteries connected in series provide
starting power and a reserve in case of total alternator failure. Model 700P's and sdnia-600, 601. 601P, and
602P's, use one 24 volt battery. ',•>' ; •

DESCRIPTION. (See Figure 24-2 for Component Location.)

The 70-amp alternators ~(50-amp on earlier models) are provided with individual switches located on the
instrument panel as a means of checking alternator circuit operaticln, and to permit disconnecting either or both
alternators from the main power bus. Should an alternator faiY, or an engine not be running, the respective
alternator switch should be fumed off. Since the alternators arej self-exciting, turning the adjacent Master Battery
switch "OFF" will not affect alterpator operation. The Prestcjiite alternator, due to its design, has self-limiting
current characteristics and needs rio current limiting unit in ttie regulator. Under nomial operation the system load
is balanced between the two alternators. However, eacfi one.is capable of carrying the entire normal load by
itself. Each alternator is protected by a 70-amp circul?i:'breal(er rnou^ on the equipment circuit breaker panel,
and in addition, an 80-amp fuse located near the Estimator affords additional protection for the output (positive)
side of the altemator. i''

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

The Volt/Ammeter reads the current flow of the entire system. Pushing a button on the left side of the
volt/ammeter enables the meter to read the system voltage. A three-position selector switch selects the circuit to
be read on the meter. Total system current flow or individual alternator current flow can be selected.

—NOTE-
TO read individual alternators, it is necessary that the left alternator switch
be OFF to check the right alternator and conversely the right alternator
switch be OFF to read the left alternator. Tliis is because both alternators
feed a common bus.

Voltage regulation is accomplished by use of solid-state vpltage regulators. These regulators, one for
each alternator, have no moving parts and are adjustable for alternator output. A balanced load between the two
alternatprS'is thus possible.
the alternator system is protected from excessive voltage output by incorporating over-voltage relays.
These relays sense an over-voltage condition, interrupting their respective altemator field when the oven/oltage
condition occurs. To put the alternator back on the line, the relay must be reset manually by setting the alternator
switch to " O F F then to "ON".
Each 70-amp alternator output line is protected by an isolation diode mounted on a finned heat sink.
These diodes provide the following functions:
1. Prevent a fault in the altemator or ailtemator power cable from affecting the remaining power
sources.

2. Allow each voltage regulator to sense individual alternator output for correct regulation.

3. To allow each over-voltage relay to sense individual altemator output, thus avoiding dual altemator
disengagement in the event of a single alternator over-voltage condition.

—NOTE—
A transient over-voltage condition of sufficient magnitude may penetrate
tfie isolation diode to trip both over-voltage relays. In this case the faulty
alternator must be identified by trial and error and turned off.

Power circuit breakers are provided for alternator protection against excessive current demand as
follows: on airplanes fitted with 50-amp alternators (unless retro-fitted per SB600-24), individual 50-amp remote
circuit breaker (re-set by a 5-amp panel mounted circuit breaker) protects each alternator, and a 73-amp remote
circuit breaker (re-set by a 5-amp panel mounted circuit breaker) protects the entire electrical system. On
airplanes modified per SB600-24, the three remote circuit breaker relays and the three 5-amp panel mounted
circuit breakers are replaced by three 70-amp panel mounted circuit breakers which protect the individual
alternator and battery power cables. On airplanes equipped with 70-amp alternators there will be either a
separate 73-amp remote circuit breaker (re-set by a 5-amp panel mounted circuit breaker) protecting each
alternator and the battery power input cable, or three 70-amp panel mounted circuit breakers which protect the
individual alternator and battery power input cables. All airplanes from A/F 0190 and subsequent employ the
latter method.
Vent lines are provided in order to exhaust battery fumes and fluid from the battery compartment, located
just forward of the tail cone or just aft of the baggage compartment.
The alternator annuciator lights give an indication when one or both alternators fail. When the Master
Battery switch is on and the engines are not running, both the left and right alternator lights will illuminate to show
the indicating system is functional. After engine start-up and the alternators come on the line, a voltage sensor
activates to extinguish the lights. In the event of alternator failure, lack of voltage output would cause the sensor
to turn on the affected indicator light. The Altemator Waming lights are located on the upper left copilot's panel or
annunciator panel (if installed). The Push-to-Test switch on the annunciator panel illuminates all of the lamps at
once, but does not test the alternator indicating system.

PRECAUTIONS.

Precautions to be observed when installing, testing or servicing the alternator system:

1 Disconnect the battery before connecting or disconnecting test instruments (except voltmeter)
and before removing or replacing any unit or wiring. Accidental grounding or shorting at the
regulator, alternator, ammeter or accessories will cause severe damage to the units and/or
wiring.

.0 To avoid damage to the transistorized regulators, do not at any time connect battery directly to
the regulator or alternator field terminal (except as specified in the alternator flash starting
procedure, Adjustment/Test).

The field circuit must never be grounded on this system at the alternator or regulator Grounding
of the field terminal at either the alternator or regulator will damage the regulator.

4. Do not ground the adjusting tool to the regulator base when adjusting the voltage regulator, or
the regulator will be damaged. The adjusting tool should be non-conducting or insulated with a
plastic sleeve to avoid grounding.
5. The alternator must not be operated on open circuit with the rotor winding energized.
6. Do no attempt to polarize the alternator; it is not required. Any attempt to do so may result in
damage to the alternator, regulator or circuits. (Refer to Alternator Flash Starting Procedures,
Adjustment/Test.)
7. Reversed battery connections may damage the diodes, airplane wiring or other components of
the alternator system. Observe battery polarity for a negative ground.

(a) Tum "OFF" the left altemator field switches.
(b) Turn "ON" the right alternator field switches.
(c) Start the right engine and idle for a period of 5 -10 minutes with an electrical load
, of 15-30 amps (by activating normal airplane loads and monitoring volt/am-
meter for total current) and an engine rpm of 1200.
(d) As required, carefully adjust the right regulator for 28.5 volts DC, using a
voltmeter (of at least 20 K ohm/volt sensitivity) connected to the regulator bus
terminal (at an rpm of 1200). A digital electronic voltmeter is recommended.

-NOTE-
Several operations of connecting and disconnecting the PAR circuit are
required by the following steps. (For convenience a temporary switch may
be installed to accomplish this requirement)

(e) Shut down the right engine and connect the voltmeter between the field termi-
nals of the left and right voltage regulators in addition to the system wires
already connected to these terminals. The positive (red) lead of the test meter
shall be connected to the right engine voltage regulator (Use a 30 or 50 V meter
scale initially).
(f) Again, start the right engine and alternator system as in Step (c). (Do not
operate left engine at this time.)
(g) Turn "ON" the left engine alternator switch and slowly rotate the left regulator
voltage adjustment while observing the voltmeter between the field tenninals.

-NOTE-
tfa reverse (down scale) reading is obtained, turning the adjustment coun-
terclockwise will bring the meter upscale.

(h) Slowly set the left regulator adjustment to a point where the voltmeter reads a
low (minimum) value. Any reading from 0 to 8 volts is acceptable. A stable read-
ing should not be expected. A low meter range such as the 10V scale may be
used for this adjustment.
(i) Reconnect the wire to join the "PAR" terminals of the two regulators and verify
that the meter drops to a very low value (0.2 to 0.5 volts) and is stable. Continue
operation in this manner for 5 -10 minutes.
(t) Make final touch-up of adjustment of the balance by briefly opening the "PAR"
circuit between the right and left regulators and tweaking the left regulator adjust-
ment for a minimum reading of the meter between the regulator field temriinals.
Again, any reading from 0 to 8 volts is acceptable with the "PAR" lead discon-
nected.
(k) Restore all wiring to normal, replace "Royalite" panel. Adjustment is complete.
(I) As a final check, with both engines operating, verify that the right and left alterna-
tors are sharing the electrical load by obsen/ing left and right altemator output
on the volt/ammeter. There should be no more than 4 - 5 amps difference (maxi-
mum allowable), although a difference of 2 amps or less can be expected.
(m) Shut down engines. Turn fvlaster Battery, and Altemator switches OFF.

EXTERNAL POWER.

External Auxiliary Power can be connected to the airplane's electrical system by means of a tail-mounted
power socket and the Battery/APU relay.

DESCRIPTION.

The airplane is equipped with a polarized power receptacle for connection of auxiliary power located in
the lower aft end of the fuselage at fuselage station 370.00. A relay operated by the Master Battery switch selects
airplane battery or the externally connected auxiliary unit. Setting the Master Battery switch to ON operates the
Bat/APU relay to connect the batteries to the electrical system. When the Master Battery switch is in the O F F
position, the relay will de-energize and connect the APU socket terminals to the electrical system.

TROUBLESHOOTING.

Refer to Troubleshooting Chart 2401.

PRECAUTIONS.

The Auxiliary Power Unit must be switched ON and the voltage allowed to stabilize at 24 - 28 volts before
installing the external power plug in the tail receptacle. Since power will be automatically supplied to the bus, the
more delicate electrical components will be protected from external power supply voltage spikes by ensuring the
Master Radio switch is OFF and the auto pilot circuit breakers are pulled. The battery and altemator switches
must be oft as long as external power is connected.

ELECTRICAL LOAD DISTRIBUTION.

The airplane's electrical load distribution is affected by applying the battery or alternator power to a main
bus from which all of the electrical systems are fed through appropriate circuit breakers. A secondary bus
connected to the main bus by a relay or an auxiliary switch feeds all of the avionics equipment, also through
individual circuit breakers.

DESCRIPTION.

The circuit breaker panel, located in the lower right side of the instrument panel, contains all of the circuit
breakers for the airplane's electrical systems. Each of the push-to-reset type circuit breakers will "pop-out" when
excessive current flows through its circuit. After allowing 1 - 3 minutes for cooling, may be reset by pushing it in
until it clicks. Should a breaker pop out a second time, it should be left out until the cause has been corrected as
a malfunction is indicated. Effective with A/F 0190 and subsequent, the circuit breakers are not only push-to-reset
but are also of the pull-to-disable type, except for the altemator and battery breakers.
The Avionics bus is fed from the main bus by means of the Avionics bus relay which is energized to the
closed position by setting the Radio Master switch to ON. This relay is located under, and forward of the copilot's
panel. A 30-amp fuse located on the relay assembly is provided as protection for the Avionics bus. Since this fuse
is inaccessible in flight. Avionics power can be regained by closing the Auxiliary Radio switch, providing the
normal amount of power to the Avionics bus as an emergency measure, not to exceed 25 amps.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
GENERAL.

The equipment and furnishings covered in this chapter consist of the seats and seat hardware, table,
glare shield, shoulder harness inertia reels, carpeting, super soundproofing, interior trim panels, and sun visors in
the flight/passenger compartment; and the carpeting, trim panels and overhead light in the baggage
compartment. The accessory compartment in the nose section requires no maintenance other than that
necessary to maintain the water tight integrity of the door. Refer to Chapter 52 for door maintenance.
The equipment and furnishings in all 600, 601, 601P, 602P and 700P's are designed for ease of
maintenance, and conform to standard aircraft practice. Changes of minor mechanical significance have been
made at year/model changes, and trim material and design will vary with year of manufacture and customer
preference

DESCRIPTION.

The standard interior seat configuration for the 600, 601, 601P, 602P and 700P is shown in Figure 25-1.
Two seats have forward folding baclts; the pilot seat, to allow for ease of entry by copilot and passengers, and the
right side center seat, to allow access to the emergency exit. All seats can be moved forward and aft and all seats
except the pilot seat are equipped with a three position recline mechanism. The positioning and recline levers are
installed on the aisle side of the seats, as is the buckle portion of the seat belt. The seat positioning handle for the
pilot and copilot seats (A/F 0861 and up) is located under the forward edge of the seat. Only the left center and
left rear seats are interchangeable. Although any seat assembly will fit into any Aerostar airplane, several
mechanical changes have been incorporated in the seats making it imperative that the airplane serial number,
seat manufacturer, and assembly number from the data tag on the seat frame be included when ordering
replacement parts.
The executive interior is shown in Figure 25-2. The pilot and copilot seats are identical to those in the
standard interior. The right center seat has a forward folding back, as in the standard interior, and also swivels.
The swivel mechanism is a separiate unit that bolts into the seat frame. In place of the standard three position
recline mechanism, the swivel seat has a Hydrolok mechanism which allows infinite stop positions. The Hydrolok
mechanism is not serviceable in the field and must be returned to the manufacturer for repairs.
Removal/Installation of the swivel seat is the same as for a standard seat.
In the executive interior, the left center seat is replaced with a table which folds away when not in use. A
bracket in each corner of the table assembly is attached to the fuselage structure by means of a screw and
nutplate in the upper fonward bracket, and screws and rivets in the remaining brackets. Refer to Figure 25-10.
The bench seat assembly consists of a standard right center seat and a left rear seat connected together
with appropriate hardware to provide a foldable center armrest. The right side seat back reclines and also folds
forward. Seat back recline levers are located on the outboard sides of the seat. The forward and aft positioning
mechanisms of the two seats are "ganged" together with a single control lever in the center, beneath the seat.
Removal/Installation of the bench seat is basically the same as for a standard seat, the only difference being that
two seats are being removed or installed simultaneously.
The glare shield above the instrument panel is fitted under the defroster diffuser and attached with angle
brackets in the aft comers. The instrument panel trim is held in place with double sided tape.
The carpeting on the cabin floor is held in place by being tucked under the seat tracks. Carpeting on the
heater ducts and other vertical surfaces is attached with 1357 Scotch Grip contact cement.
The Super Soundproofing material is installed under and held in place by the interior trim panels. The
trim above the armrest panels, around the windows, and overhead is held in place by aluminum extrusion
channels riveted to the airframe. Four of these extaision channels also serve as guides for the curtains. Window
moldings on the cabin door and emergency exit are attached with contact cement and double sided tape.
Optional sliding window shades are available on the 700P. These shades are installed on the five
passenger windows and the emergency exit window.

SEATS.

OPERATION OF SEATS.

Seat Guide Lugs (refer to Figure 25-3) at eacfi comer of seat frame are adjusted to retain lower end of
lug midway between upper and lower inside surface of track slot. (Refer to Figure 25-3.) Whien adjusted properly,
tfie lug will not be riding on eittier tfie upper or lower surface during seat position movement. Tfie roller-spacer
(refer to Figure 25-3) that is located at upper part of lug contacts the side surfaces of track slot to provide lateral
stability to seat. All movement of seat should be on rollers, which contact top surface of track. Thus, the roller
spacer retains the seat in the proper position laterally along the track, and the lower lug portion will retain the seat
vertically by contacting the upper slot surface when accelerated in that plane. Adjustment of the lugs is normally
done at the factory before seat installation.
The only other adjustment required for proper seat operation is the position of the seat-stops, or plunger
(refer to Figure 25-3). These consist of a cylindrical projection riding above each track during seat position
adjustment. The plungers should be free to fall into the stop-hole when the spring loaded retracting handle is
released. If one or the other plunger is riding on an edge of the track and is not centered, it will not be able to fall
freely into the top hole, allowing seat to slide past desired position.
The track slots should be clean and free of dirt and debris that might interfere with the proper operation of
the guide lugs and plungers. Waxing the track will also insure smooth, easy movement of seats.

REMOVAL OF SEATS. (Refer to Figure 25-3.)

1. Loosen top nuts on retaining lugs.


2. Align aft guide lugs with holes in seat tracks and lift rear of seat clear of tracks.
. 3. . Align retaining lugs with holes in seat tracks and lift rear of seat until retaining lugs clear seat
tracks.

4. Align rear guide lugs with holes in seat tracks and lift seat from tracks.

INSTALLATION OF SEATS.

1. Lower forward guide lugs into holes in seat tracks.


2. Slide seat forward and lower retaining lugs into holes in seat tracks.
3. Slide seat forward and lower rear guide lugs into seat tracks.
4. Tighten top nuts on retaining lugs.
ADJUSTMENT.

1. Guide lugs. (Refer to Figure 25-3.)


A. Assemble guide lug to seat frame, leaving nuts (4) loose.
B. Set lug (2) approximately in center space of track by estimating vertical distance that lug
penetrates into track. Position of lug is controlled by adjusting nuts (4) as required.
C. When lug position is correct, secure by tightening top locking nut.

2. Plungers. (Refer to Figure 25-3.) . . .
A. With seat installed per Chapter 25, lift retracting handle to release seat, and move seat to
full fonward position.
B. Release handle, push seat aft. Plungers should fall freely into first stop hole.
C. If seat skips over stop and continues moving aft, lateral adjustment of seat frame is
required.
D. Moving seat along track, view position of plungers with respect to stop hole. One or both
may be slightly off-center.
- E. When it is, determined which direction the seat frame(s) must be moved to recenter the
plunger(s), strike the frame at plunger location with a hammer to bend frame a slight
amount in required direction. One blow of hammer is usually sufficient, but more may be
necessary.
F. If trouble is still encountered after performing Step E, it may be necessary to ream stop
hole slightly for plunger to fall freely.
G. • Insure plungers fall freely into each stop position, or repeat steps E and F until proper
operation of plungers is obtained.

—NOTE—
Usually, correcting plunger position at one stop will bring plunger into
alignment with track enabling proper operation at all stop positions.

COVERS.

REMOVAL O F SEAT "ROYALITE" COVERS.

1. Remove seat.
2. Remove roll pins from seat positioning and recline levers and remove levers. Refer

RECLINE MECHANISMS.

Due to differences between left and rigfit side seat frame designs, two. types of recline mecfianisms are
used in the seats. The left center and left rear seats have the type shown in Figure 25-4. This type has an arm
extending from the recline mechanism toward the center of the seat. The seat back return spring connects
between this arm and the seat positioning lever rod. Spring tension on the arm ip some cases, causes the'reclirie
mechanism to tilt outward at the lower edge resulting in binding. Adjustment of the recline mechanism in the left
center and left rear seats is included in this chapter.
The right side seats have the recline mechanism shown in Figure 25-5. This type mechanism has no
spring arm. The seat back return spring connects directly to the recline mechanism, pulling straight downward,
alleviating binding.

REMOVAL OF RECLINE MECHANISM (Left Center and Left Rear Seats). (Refer to Figure 25-4.)

1. Remove seat.
2. Remove "Royalite" covers.
3. Disconnect recline mechanism clevis from seat back frame.
4. Disconnect seat back return spring from spring arm.
5. Remove bolt and bushing attaching recline mechanism to seat frame, and remove recline mech-
anism.
