POWER SUPPLY
Master Caution Logic Circuits
Power for the Master Caution logic circuits on the P5 modules is either from the
system power source or from a DIM & TEST circuit breaker on P6−3 load con-
trol center. Two MASTER CAUTION ANNUNCIATOR circuit breakers labeled
No. 1 and BAT provide a 28V DC dual power source for the Master Caution
lights and system Master Caution annunciators. Three additional Battery Bus
circuit breakers labeled AIR COND, FUEL and ANTI−ICE, under MASTER
CAUTION on P6−3 load control center, provide power for the Master Caution
logic circuits in the P5 modules.
Master Dim and Test Circuits

Power for the lights in the Master Dim and Test circuits is from three 28V DC
circuit breakers labeled INDICATOR MASTER DIM: BUS NO. 1 DC, BUS
NO. 2 DC and BAT. The power sources are cross−fed to the lights (through
diodes) to ensure power is still available in case one of the buses is de−energi-
zed. The three power lines are then connected through the Master Dim relay
to six section circuit breakers where power is distributed to the various system
indicator lights within the control cabin. A DIM & TEST circuit breaker provides
28V DC to the Dim and Test relays and to certain system indicator lights as
well as the Master Caution circuits. All circuit breakers are on P6−3 load control
center.

OPERATION
Master Caution Lights
The Master Caution Lights inform the pilots that a system fault indicator light
has illuminated on a pilot’s instrument panel. The System Master Caution An-
nunciator informs the pilots which system has a fault. Pressing either the pilot’s
or copilot’s Master Caution light extinguishes the Master Caution lights and the
system Master Caution annunciators; however, the system faulty indicator light
on the instrument panel remains illuminated until the fault is corrected. The pi-
lots may recall faulted system indications on the system master caution an-
nunciators by resetting either annunciator. All annunciator lights will illuminate
while the annunciator is pressed. When released, only those systems with illu-
minated fault indicators will cause the corresponding System Master Caution
Annunciator to remain illuminated.
The P5 overhead panel modules with the system indicator lights and the P8−1
fire protection module are connected to the Master Caution. Each module is
also connected to one of the System Master Caution Annunciators. The Master
Caution triggering and reset circuits are part of each system module . Two ty-
pes of system indicator lights are used on the modules:
a Ground Seeking Type
a Power Seeking Type
In a typical ground seeking indicator light circuit, when a system fault is detec-
ted, a ground is applied to illuminate the system indicator light and the Master
Caution lights. Power for the fault light is either from a system circuit breaker
or from a DIM & TEST circuit breaker. A fault causes the input to G1 to go low.
G1 output then goes high, causing a pulser to trigger the SCR and bias transi-
stor S1 on. A ground is then completed to turn on the System Master Caution
Annunciator and Master Caution Light. Momentarily pressing the Master Cau-
tion light removes power from the SCR causing it to go off to extinguish the
Master Caution lights and annunciators. Resetting the System Master Caution
Annunciator (push and release) completes a ground to G1 causing the pulser
to operate again and retrigger the SCR. The SCR again turns on the system
Master Caution Annunciator if the system fault is still present.

Caution Annunciators from the Master Caution Lights and provide diodes for
various systems indicator light circuits. Cards A1 and A2 contain transistor cir-
cuits with zener diodes which cause certain system indicator lights to dim when
the Master Dim and Test switch is operated. A separate transistor circuit and
zener diode is connected to the Master Caution lights and causes the Master
Caution lights and System Master Caution annunciator to dim.
Master Dim Module
The Master Dim Module consists of a printed circuit card with a relay, diodes
and a transistor circuit. The card is installed in a card rack in P6 load control
center. The relay connects zener diodes and resistors in the light dimming cir-
cuits to the P5−4 AC Systems Generator and APU Module and to the P5−10
Air Conditioning Module. The diodes provide isolation between dual power
sources for the Master Dim and Test circuits. The transistor circuit is not used.
Operation
The system annunciator lights in the control cabin are dimmed or tested with
the Master Dim and Test Switch. Switching the switch to the TEST position ap-
plies a ground to master test relay R33. The master test relay then applies ei-
ther a ground or DIM & TEST 28 Volts DC to the system indicator lights. The
lights then illuminate.
Power for system annunciator lights is from circuit breakers on 28V DC Bus
No.1, 28V DC Bus No. 2 and the 28V DC Battery Bus . A diode network in
Master Dim Module M564 provides a dual power circuit to each distribution
line. Zener diodes are used for decreasing the voltage and dimming system
lights. Secondary circuit breakers distribute power for the majority of the sy-
stem lights. Some lights use system power for their operation, in which case
either a transistor and zener diode circuit in annunciation and dimming module
M469, is used to dim the light, or a ground and zener diode is applied directly
to the light by master dim relay R34 or the dim relay in the Master Dim Module.
Auxiliary master dim relay R87 applies either DIM & TEST 28 Volts DC or a

General Night Lights
Passenger Compartment Lighting comes from these sources: The night lights give dim lighting to the passenger compartment from above.
Ceiling Lights There is a Night Light installed on an end of some Ceiling Lights. The 28 Volts
AC of electrical power for the Night Lights comes from the P18 panel.

the electronic equipment compartment.
Ceiling Lights
The ceiling lights give general lighting to the passenger compartment from
above. These lights are installed on the outboard edges of the sculptured
ceiling panels. The 115 Volts AC of electrical power for these lights comes from
the P18.
Ballast Units supply the electrical power to the lamps in the ceiling lights.
Some Ceiling Lights do not have a Ballast Unit. Each of these lights operate
from the Ballast Unit in an adjacent Ceiling Light.
The Ceiling Lights are controlled by a switch on the attendant’s panel.
When the switch is set to the DIM position, a transformer increases the
115 Volts AC to 280 Volts AC. This electrical power is supplied to each bal-
last to make the ceiling lights come on dimly. When the switch is set to the
BRIGHT position, 115 Volts AC more electrical power is supplied to each
ballast. This makes the ceiling lights come on brightly.
The Ground Service switch on the forward attendant’s panel controls a relay
to change the source of the 115 Volts AC of electrical power. The electrical
power can come from the AC Transfer Bus or from the Ground Service Bus.
NOTE: Airplanes with the Ceiling Lights connected to the Oxygen Deploy-
ment Relay:
− If the air pressure in the passenger compartment decreases to less
than the air pressure at 14,000 feet, the Ceiling Lights will come on
brightly automatically.

Window Reveal (Sidewall) Lights
The Window Reveal Lights are also referred to as the Sidewall Lights. These
lights give general lighting to the passenger compartment from each side. The
115 Volts AC of electrical power for the Sidewall Lights comes from the P18
panel. Ballast Units supply the electrical power to the lamps in the Sidewall
Lights. Some sidewall lights do not have a Ballast Unit. Each of these lights
operate from the Ballast Unit in an adjacent Window Reveal Light. The Sidewall
Lights are controlled with a switch on the attendant’s panel.

− Each light is behind the sculptured panel immediately above the window.
When the switch is set to the DIM position, a transformer increases the
115 Volts AC to 280 Volts AC. This electrical power is supplied to the
Ballast Units to make the sidewall lights come on dimly. When the switch
is set to the BRIGHT position, 115 Volts AC more electrical power is sup-
plied to the Ballast Units. This makes the Sidewall Lights come on
brightly.
Airplanes with lights above the sidewall
− Each light is in the air conditioning extrusion outboard of the Passenger
Service Unit (PSU). When the switch is set to the DIM position, each
Ballast Unit supplies some of the current from the 115 Volts AC electrical
power source. This makes the Sidewall Lights come on dimly. When the
switch is set to the Bright position, all of the current from the 115 Volts
AC electrical power source is supplied. This makes the Sidewall Lights
come on brightly.

Inboard Landing Lights

Two Inboard Landing Lights are in the wing leading edges near the fuselage.
The lamps shine forward and down to the ground ahead of the airplanes.
Power is supplied from the 115 Volt AC Buses No.1 and 2 through step−down
transformers. Step−down transformers T43 and T44 provide an output of
28 Volts AC for the operation of the lights.
Outboard Landing Lights

A retractable landing light is on each outboard flap track fairing. The lamps
shine forward parallel to the centerline of the airplane.
The Outboard Landing Lights get electrical power from the same source as the
Inboard Landing Lights.
The Outboard Landing Lights are controlled by a three position switch on the
pilots’ P5 overhead panel. The switch positions are RETRACT, EXTEND and
ON. The switch design eliminates the possibility of the lights being turned on
while in the RETRACT position. The switch must be moved from RETRACT to
the EXTEND position before the lights can be turned on.
Runway Turnoff Lights

Two Runway Turnoff Lights are adjacent to and inboard of the inboard fixed
landing lights.The lamps shine outward approximately 30 degrees, and have a NOSE GEAR
beam width of 50 degrees. TAXI LIGHT
Power to the runway turnoff lights is supplied from the 28 Volt AC Buses No.1

STEADY POSITION (NAV.) LIGHTS

General
Steady Position Lights show the direction and attitude of the airplane.
These 28 Volt lights are installed in each wingtip. One light on each wingtip
points aft and is white. The other lights point outboard and are red on the left
wingtip and green on the right wingtip.
A three−position toggle switch labeled POSITON (ON, OFF and ON BAT) com-
pletes 28 Volts to the lights. In the ON position , the lights are connected to the
28 V AC Transfer Bus No. 2. In the ON BAT position, the lights are connected
to the 28 Volt DC Battery Bus. Circuit breakers labeled POSITION NORMAL
and POSITION (BAT) are located on the P18−3 circuit breaker panel.
White Steady Position Lights

The wing trailing edge mounted white lights provide a horizontal beam parallel
with the centerline of the airplane to 140 degrees outboard with 180−degree
vertical coverage. Each tail light assembly is installed in a short boom on the
wingtip trailing edge.
Red and Green Steady Position Lights
The wingtip colored lights provide a horizontal beam parallel with the centerline
of the airplane to 110 degrees outboard with 180−degree vertical coverage.
The light assembly is installed on a mounting bracket within the window hou-
sing on the wingtip assembly.
Maintenance Practices
The base is held in place with two captive screws and aligned with an index pin
which fits through a hole in the lens. The lens is held in place on the bracket
with a single screw which is lockwired to prevent unnecessary removal of the
lens. Relamping is accomplished by loosening only the two screws holding the
base, thereby exposing the lamp. The lens remains installed on the bracket.
The incandescent lamp is silvered on one side and must be installed with the
silvered side facing aft. A pressure nut retains the lamp in the socket. Two
screw−held wiring terminals are on the rear of the assembly.

the airplane fuselage aft of the wing leading edge. The ANTI COLLISION light
switch on the P5 overhead panel provides control.
Upper Anticollision Light

The light is mounted through a cutout in the top of the fuselage. The light instal-
lation consists of three basic components. These are the mounting plate that is
permanently attached to the airplane structure; the lens, gasket, and retaining
ring which are installed from the topside of the airplane; and the light assembly
that is installed from the inside of the airplane.
The light assembly consists of a xenon arc flashtube (lamp) encircling a pa-
rabolic reflector. The reflector and lamp are mounted to a transistorized unit
containing a timing circuit and a power supply. The timing circuit controls the
flash rate at approximately one flash per second.
The 115V AC Transfer Bus No. 1 supplies electrical power for light operation
through the UPPER ANTICOLLISION circuit breaker on the P18−3 circuit brea-
ker panel.
The light assembly is removed from the inside of the airplane for relamping or
replacement by lowering a ceiling panel under the light, pushing inboard on the
folded part of the Air Conditioning Duct, loosening four retaining nuts, pulling
the light assembly and disconnecting the electrical wiring.
Lower Anticollision Light

The lower light installation is similiar to the upper light. The light is mounted
through a cutout in the bottom of the fuselage. A pan inside the fuselage provi-
des a receiving area for the light assembly and fuel vapor isolation.
The function of the Lower Anticollision Light is the same as the upper one.
The 115V AC Transfer Bus No. 2 supplies electrical power through the
LOWER ANTICOLLISION circuit breaker on the P18−3 circuit breaker panel .
The light assembly can be removed from the Air−Conditioning Bay between the
forward bottoms of the two Air−Conditioning compartments. The light assembly

STROBE POSITION LIGHTS

General
A Strobe Position Light is installed on each wingtip and on the fuselage tail
cone.
These white lights flash approximately 60 times each minute to show the loca-
tion of the airplane.
The 115 Volts AC of electrical power for the lights comes from the No. 1 Trans-
fer Bus. The electrical power goes through a circuit breaker on the P18 panel.
The Strobe Position Lights are controlled by a switch on the pilot’s overhead
panel P5.
The name of this lighting switch is STROBE.
− In the ON position, the lights are on.
− In the AUTO position, the lights are controlled by the ground sensing re-
lay, R320.
The lights come on automatically when the airplane is in the air.
The lights go off automatically when the airplane is on the ground.
− In the OFF position, the lights are off.
Wingtip Strobe Position Lights
One Wingtip Strobe Position Light is installed behind the window on each wing-
tip.
Each Strobe Light contains a bright intensity lamp.
A power supply is a part of the strobe light assembly. The power supply
contains a transistorized timing circuit and a power conversion circuit.
Tail Strobe Lights

The Tail Strobe Position Light is installed in a tube in the fuselage tail cone.
A power supply is a part of the strobe light assembly. The power supply
contains a transistorized timing circuit and a power conversion circuit.

Photoluminescent (non−electrical) FPM − System
The Photoluminescent System based upon aluminiumoxyd, which is capable of
absorbing high energy radiation ( U.V., X−Rays, cathode rays etc. ) as well as
natural daylight and emits variable light of longer wavelenght. The capability of
storing absorbed energy and emitting this energy more gradually in the form of
visible light is called Potoluminescence.
To charge the aisle light, cabin lighting in full bright is sufficient. When the aisle
light is completely discharged, a charge time of at least 10 minutes is neces-
sary. The aisle light will supply sufficient light for 8 hours in a completely dark
area when it is completely charged.

OPERATION
General
The Power Supplies provide illumination power automatically when 28 Volt DC
Bus No. 1 fails and the EMERGENCY EXIT LIGHTS switch on P5 panel is in
the ARMED position. In this switch position the NOT ARMED light on P5 does
not illuminate.
The switch on the Fwd Attendant’s Panel can turn ON the lights redardless of
pilots switch position.
Description
The Power Supplies switches the lights ON automatically whenever the pilots
switch is ARMED (pin 4 open) and DC Bus No. 1 power (pin 2) drops below 12
Volt. The Power Supplies turn lights automatically OFF during operation when
the output voltage drops below 4,8 Volts. This provides illumination for approxi-
mately 15 minutes but prevents a total battery discharge if the the system inad-
vertently left on.
Each Power Supply charges the respective battery pack when DC Bus No.1 is
powered (charging current ca. 0,35 A).
There is a test switch on each Power Supply. When the test switch has been
pressed, the Emergency Lights of the respective Power Unit illuminate for one
minute and then go off.
NOTE: If all power is removed from the airplane, the EMER EXIT LIGHTS
switch in the cockpit must be positioned to OFF and the attendant’s switch
capped to NORM. This prevents the Emergency Lights from illuminating and
discharging the battery packs.
