INTEGRAL PANEL LIGHTS AND PANEL FLOODLIGHTS

Integral Panel Lights

Individual instruments are internally lighted.

Switch lights generally have one of the segments, the switch position
indicator, illuminated by the panel lighting circuits. (The status/
caution segment of the switch is illuminated by the master dim and
test circuit.) The switch must be engaged (pressed in) and the
appropriate panel light control turned on in order for the position
indicator segment to light. Testing the position indicator bulbs is
usually accomplished during a test of the system associated with the
pushbutton switch rather than during a test of the lighting systems.

Illumination of panel lettering and panel schematics is provided by


lightplates. The lightplate is an acrylic plastic panel overlay, lighted
internally by small incandescent bulbs.

Panel Floodlights

External floodlights are provided for the pilots' main and center
panels (P1, P2, P3), the glareshield panel (P10) and the aisle stand.

LIGHTPLATE ASSEMBLY

The lightplate assembly consists of small incandescent bulbs


soldered to a printed circuit board which is joined to a plastic
faceplate. The faceplate is opaque except for the illuminated
lettering and panel schematics. The lightplate assembly is attached
to the panel by mounting screws. An electrical connector soldered to
the back of the printed circuit board mates with a panel-mounted
receptacle. The location of the electrical connector is identified by a
small cross on the front of the faceplate.

Lightplates are designed such that the failure of several bulbs should
not impair panel lighting. If panel lighting is compromised by the
failure of several bulbs, the lightplate assembly is replaced.

PANEL LIGHT DIMMER UNITS

General

Dimmer units provide variable ac power to the panel lighting circuits.


Input power is 115 volts ac and output power is 0 to 5 volts ac,
depending on the setting of the associated light control.

Maintenance Practices

Several dimmer units are located in the P7 panel. The panel


sections are hinged to open downward for access. Additional
dimmer units are located on either interior side of the P9 aisle stand.
The left or right CDU is removed for access to the dimmer units.
Each CDU is secured by 6 quarter-turn fasteners.

Dimmer units have either one or two secondary protection circuit


breakers. When replacing a faulty dimmer unit, the secondary
protection circuit breakers must be removed from the defective unit
and reinstalled on the replacement unit.

Located under the terminal cover is a replaceable fuse.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE DIMMER UNIT UNDER


NO-LOAD CONDITION; THE TRANSFORMER MAY
BURN OUT

The master dim and test system controls the light levels of indicator
lights (including the status/caution portion of switch lights) and the
aisle stand digital displays. Control components are contained in
M886, master dim and test control module, located behind the flight
deck coat closet.

A three-position (test, bright and dim) switch is located on the right


lighting control module, P5. Placing the switch in the momentary test
position turns on all the indicator lights. Holding the switch in test
position for 10 seconds causes the indicator lights to dim. The bright
and dim positions allow selection of light intensity level.

NOTE: Power for illumination of the engine and APU fire handles
and engine fuel control switches is supplied by the master dim and
test system. However, placing the indicator lights dim and test switch
to the TEST position will not turn those lights on. Placing the switch
to DIM will reduce the intensity of the fuel control switch lights but
not the fire handle lights.

Alternate Action Switches

Alternate action switches are mechanically latched in the last


operated position (in or out). Each succeeding operation selects the
switch to the opposite position. Switch position is indicated by the
absence or presence of a mechanical flag in the switch face. The
switch position display (flag) has a white legend on a black
background in the engaged (in) position and is illuminated,
generally, by the 5 volt ac panel lighting circuit. The legend is hidden
by a mechanical shutter in the relaxed (out) position and the 5 volt
lighting turned off.

Momentary Switches

Pressing the momentary switch transfers the contacts. Releasing the


switch transfers the contacts to the original position. The switch has
no switch position display. The lighted display can indicate the
position of a relay or contactor controlled by the switch or function as
a status/caution indicator.

FLIGHT DECK LIGHTS - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES


33.10.0502A-001

Testing

The flight deck lights, with the exception of switch lights can be
easily tested by activating the light controls in an orderly sequence
and observing the illumination of the associated lights. Brightness of
variable intensity lights should vary smoothly as the control is
rotated. Standby lighting circuits are tested by deactivating the
normal lighting control circuit breaker and observing illumination of
the appropriate standby lights. Operation of the normal lighting
controls should not affect the brightness of the standby lights.

Indicator lights and 28 volt dc portions of switch lights are tested with
the indicator lights dim and test switch. The 5 volt ac portion of
switch lights are normally checked during a test of the system
controlled by the switch. However, these lights may be tested by
engaging the switch light and operating the appropriate panel light
control, provided the system controlled by the switch light has been
deactivated.

Relamping

In order to dispatch the airplane, flight deck lights sufficient to


illuminate all instruments and controls must be provided. Most light
assemblies are readily relampable with standard tools. However,
certain precautions should be taken in the selection of lamps used
and replacements. Lamps of different voltage ratings may have the
same physical characteristics, therefore, size and shape of the lamp
should not be used as the only criteria for selecting replacement
lamps. Spare bulb storage is provided in the flight deck.

CAUTION: CHECK IDENTIFICATION NUMBER BEFORE


INSTALLING LAMP. INSTALLATION OF LAMPS WITH
INCORRECT VOLTAGE RATING FOR APPLICATION
MAY CAUSE CIRCUITRY DAMAGE.

Prior to performing maintenance (including relamping) in lighting


systems, deactivate the circuit by opening the appropriate circuit.

ENTERTAINMENT/SERVICE CONTROLLER

The Entertainment/Service Controller (ESC) is the primary controller


for all passenger entertainment and service functions. The ESC
monitors control panel and switch inputs to control cabin lighting,
attendant call lights, passenger information signs and reading lights.

During normal operation the ESC receives data inputs from the
cabin system modules, cabin configuration test module, and local
area controllers. Discrete inputs are provided by the passenger
information sign control circuit, air/ground relay, decompression
relay and loss of ground service bus relay.

During data loading and distribution the entertainment/service


controller receives configuration data from the CMU and downloads
the appropriate data to the local area controllers. The ESC can be
tested using the ACESS self-test feature. Following replacement, the
new ESC must be programmed to establish the airplane

supply and receives control signals from an overhead electronics
unit.

When the circuit between the ON/OFF control line and RETURN
control line is open, the fluorescent light is on. An open circuit
between the BRIGHT/DIM control line and the RETURN control line
causes the light to be bright; a closed circuit causes the light to be
dim. When the circuit between the ON/OFF control line and
RETURN line is closed, the light is off.

If power is available to the ballast, but not to ACESS components,


the OEU's ballast control switches remain open and the fluorescent
lights illuminate BRIGHT.

Power supplies within the OEUs convert the 115 volt ac power to 12
volts dc and 5 volts dc. The 12 volts dc is supplied to the passenger
reading lights. The 5 volts dc is supplied to attendant row call lights
and lavatory call lights as required.

With the airplane on the ground, R7575 is energized by actuating


the passenger service system OFF switch at a CSM. One of the
contacts of R7575 provides a ground which allows R7576 and
R7577 to energize. The open contacts of those relays remove power
from the OEUs. Actuating the passenger service system ON switch

FORWARD DIRECT CEILING LIGHTS CIRCUIT

The ground service bus supplies 115 volts ac power to the


transformer T146 and the overhead electronics unit (OEU).

The center crossover lights at doors 2 and 3 are powered directly


from the transformer.

The direct ceiling lights located in the left and right life raft
compartments at door 2 are controlled by the ACESS system. The
OEU internal power supplies convert part of the 115 volts ac to 12
volts dc for relay operation. On command from ACESS, the OEU
energizes relays R7522, R7523, R7524 and R7525. With the relays
energized, power from the transformer is supplied to the direct
ceiling lights.

When the ground service bus is deenergized, actuation of one of


three flight deck access switches energizes relay R341. With the
relay energized, 28 volts dc from the ground handling bus is
supplied to a direct ceiling light at door 2 left.

NIGHT ILLUMINATION LIGHTS CIRCUIT

General

An overhead electronics unit (OEU) connected to each night light


installation provides the interface with the ACESS system. Bus 2
supplies 115 volt ac power to the OEUs. Internal power supplies
convert part of the 115 volts ac to 28 volts dc which is supplied to the
lights on command from ACESS.

Operation

Control inputs at the cabin system module are processed by


ACESS. The resulting control logic signals are supplied via data
busses to the OEUs. The control logic signals tell each OEU whether
its associated lights are to be on or off. Circuits within the OEUs
supply 28 volt dc power directly to the lights as required.

Loss of 28 volt ac ground service bus power will deenergize R7036


and provide a ground signal to the entertainment/service controller;
normal control inputs from the cabin system module are overridden
and ACESS illuminates all the night illuminationlights. If 28 volt ac
ground service bus power is restored R7036 will energize causing
the ground signal to be removed from the ESC. Control of the night
illumination lights will return to the cabin system module. The
previous level of cabin illumination will be restored.

LAVATORY CEILING LIGHTS CIRCUIT

Ground Operation

The ground service bus supplies 115 volts ac power through a circuit
breaker to the lavatory light ballast. The ground signal applied to the
entertainment/service controller (ESC) by the air/ground relay
configures ACESS to turn the lavatory lights on bright regardless of
the door position.

Flight Operation

In flight, the ground signal from the air/ground relay is removed from
the ESC. When the lavatory door is open, the circuit from the door to
the OEU is open. OEU switching circuits cause the ballast to turn the
lights on dim. Switch in the door completes the circuit from the 28
volt ground service bus to a lighted LOCK DOOR sign. When the
lavatory door is closed, the circuit from the door switch to the OEU is
closed. OEU switching circuits cause the ballast to turn the lights on
bright. When the door is locked, the LOCK DOOR sign is turned off.

PASSENGER READING LIGHTS

A reading light and control switch is provided for each passenger


seat. The reading lights are installed in the overhead PSU trays and
the control switch is in the digital passenger control unit (DPCU) at
the seat armrest. Normally, individual reading lights are controlled
through ACESS from the DPCU reading light switches.

Reading lights may also be controlled on an area basis from the


cabin system module. Pressing the reading light ON switch will
illuminate all the reading lights for the area selected. The OFF switch
will deactivate all reading lights in the selected area. Pressing
NORMAL will allow control of individual reading lights from the
DPCU reading light switches.

When the airplane is on the ground, pressing the passenger


services system OFF switch will remove power from all of the
reading lights, seat electronics units and digital passenger control
units. The OFF switch illuminates to indicate this condition. This
power is restored by pressing the ON switch. The OFF switch is not
operational in flight.

PASSENGER READING LIGHT INSTALLATION

A reading light assembly is mounted in the PSU tray above each set
of seats in the main passenger cabin and upper deck. Access to the
reading light assembly is by lowering the PSU tray. The tray is
hinged on one side and retained by latches on the other side. The
latches are disengaged by inserting a small tool through the release
hole and pushing upward. The oxygen module must be released
prior to the light module.

With the PSU hinged downward, the lamps may be replaced by


removing the reflector assembly from the light fixture. A wire spring
clip secures the reflector to the light assembly.

The lights are gimbal mounted to allow proper aiming. The entire
assembly pivots to allow fore and aft adjustment; individual lights
pivot to allow lateral adjustment.

PASSENGER READING LIGHTS CIRCUIT

With the passenger services system ON (pushbutton switch


illuminated) the reading light relay R7575 is deenergized. The closed
relay contacts supply 115 volts from bus 1 to the overhead
electronics unit (OEU) reading light power supply. The power supply
furnishes 12 volts dc to the reading light switching circuits.

When a passenger switches the reading light on, the signal from the
reading light switch in the digital passenger control unit (DPCU) is
sent to the seat electronics unit (SEU) for the passenger's seat
group. The SEU passes the information to its local area controller.
The LAC processes the information and addresses a command to
the appropriate OEU. Switching circuits in the overhead electronics
unit supply power to the appropriate reading light.

Reading light switches on the cabin system module allow control of


the reading lights on an area basis for maintenance. When the
airplane is on the ground, power may be removed from the reading
lights, SEUs and DPCUs by operating the passenger services
system OFF switch on the cabin system module.Actuating the the
OFF switch causes the ESC to provide a ground for R7575. The
energized relay removes power from the OEU reading light power
supply.

ATTENDANT CALL LIGHTS - PASSENGER

ACESS controls operation of the attendant call functions. Each


passenger seat is equipped with an attendant call switch and a call
reset switch on the digital passenger control unit (DPCU). Pressing
the call switch illuminates a blue master call light and sounds a
chime at the appropriate attendant station. A row call light in the
PSU tray above the seat group from which the call originated also
illuminates. The row call light is extinguished by pressing any of the
call reset switches for the seat group. The master call light
extinguishes when all of the row call lights in the area have been
reset.

An indicator light on the CSM illuminates to indicate a call


outstanding in the selected area.

Pressing the RESET switch on the cabin system module


extinguishes all call lights for the selected area. The CSM indicator
light also extinguishes.

When the airplane is on the ground, pressing the passenger


services system OFF switch will remove power from the row call
lights and DPCUs. Power is restored by pressing the ON switch. The
OFF switch is not operational in flight.

Row call lights and master call lights are relamped by unscrewing
the lens.

ATTENDANT CALL LIGHTS - LAVATORY

General

Inside each lavatory is an attendant call switch. Pressing the switch


illuminates the amber master call light at the attendant station and
the lavatory call light outside the lavatory. The lavatory call light
(outside the lavatory) also serves as a call reset switch. Pressing the
lighted pushbutton turns off the lavatory call light and master call
light.

Maintenance Practices

The attendant call RESET switch on the cabin system module will
control lavatory call lights in the same manner as described for
passenger call lights. The passenger services system ON and OFF
switches on the cabin system module control power to the lavatory
call lights when the airplane is on the ground.

rapid fault isolation and system status indication.
33.20.0527 -004
- Passenger compartment illumination lights
- Lavatory lights
- Passenger reading lights
- Attendant call lights
- Passenger information signs

Inputs to ACESS from several sources will override normal lighting


control and enable special functions:

- Decompression - activation of the passenger oxygen system will


cause fluorescent lights in the passenger compartment, upper
deck and over door 5 crew rest to illuminate BRIGHT. No
smoking and fasten seatbelt signs will illuminate.

- Power loss - loss of ground service bus power will cause the
night illumination lights in the passenger compartment, upper
deck and over door 5 crew rest to illuminate.

- Air/ground sensing - with the airplane on the ground, lavatory


lights remain on BRIGHT as long as power is supplied. The CSM
passenger services system ON/OFF switches function and the
ACESS test mode may be operated.
