a. Engine Instruments R .
(1) Interstage Turbine Temperature (ITT)
Indicators. The two ITT gauges on the instrument
panel are calibrated in degrees Celsius (C). Each
gauge is connected to thermocouple probes located in
the hot gases between the turbine wheels. The
gauges
indicate
the
temperature
between
the
compressor turbine and power turbine section for the
corresponding engine. Individual 5-ampere circuit
breakers, placarded ITT LEFT / RIGHT, located on the
left
sidewall
circuit
breaker
panel,
protect
the
interstage turbine temperature gauge circuits.
(2) Engine Torquemeters. Two torquemeters
on the instrument panel indicate torque in percent of
maximum being applied to the propeller shaft of the
respective
engine.
Individual 5-ampere
circuit
breakers, placarded TORQUE LEFT / RIGHT located
on the left sidewall circuit breaker panel, protect the
torquemeter's circuits.
(3) Turbine Tachometers. Two tachometers
on the instrument panel indicate compressor turbine
RPM (N1) for the respective engine as a percentage of
maximum gas generator RPM. Each instrument is
slaved to a tachometer generator attached to the
respective
engine.
Individual 5-ampere
circuit
breakers, placarded TURBINE TACH LEFT / RIGHT,
located on the left sidewall circuit breaker panel,
protect the turbine tachometer circuits.
(4) Fuel Flow Indicators. Two gauges on the
instrument panel indicate the race of flow for
consumed fuel as measured by sensing units coupled
into the fuel supply lines of the respective engines.
The fuel flow indicators are calibrated in increments of
hundreds of pounds per hour. Individual 5-ampere
circuit breakers, placarded FUEL FLOW LEFT /
RIGHT located on the left sidewall circuit breaker
panel, protect fuel flow indicator circuits.
(5) Oil Pressure / Oil Temperature Indicators.
Two gauges on the instrument panel indicate oil
pressure in psi and oil temperature in °C. Oil pressure
is taken from the delivery side of the main oil pressure
pump. A thermal sensor unit that senses the
temperature of the oil as it leaves the delivery side of
the oil pressure pump transmits oil temperature. Each
gauge is connected to pressure and temperature
transmitters
installed
on
the
respective
engine.
Individual 5-ampere circuit breakers, placarded OIL
PRESS LEFT / RIGHT, located on the left sidewall
circuit breaker panel protect the oil pressure circuits.
Individual 5-ampere circuit breakers, placarded OIL
TEMP LEFT / RIGHT, located on the left sidewall
circuit breaker panel, protect the oil temperature
circuits.
b. Engine Instruments T3 .
(1) Two ITT gauges on the instrument panel
are calibrated in C. Each gauge is connected to
thermocouple probes located in the hot gases between
the turbine wheels. The gauges register the
temperature present between the compressor turbine
and power turbine for the corresponding engine. The
indicator display is a 1 alphabetic, 3 1/2 numeric
character digital display and a 41 segment bar graph
display. The bar graph display is nonlinear. The
indicator has a display range of 0 to 1200 C while
displaying current ITT and 0 to 1372 C while
displaying exceedence ITT. The bar graph display
ranges from 0 to 1200 Celsius. The display will
contain dashes (-----) when the measured ITT is
greater than 1200 Celsius. When the EXCEEDENCE
ITT value is displayed the actual measured value, not
the dashes, will be displayed up to 1372 Celsius.
The indicator is equipped with a Built-In Test
(BIT) display that will display all active LCD segments
for 3 seconds on power up. If the BIT test detects a
failed ROM or RAM, the BIT indicator will have a blank
display. If the BIT failure is the input signal, a 0 will be
displayed on both the digital and bar graph displays. If
the failed BIT is caused by the EEPROM, an F will
prefix the display. BIT failures will not be stored in
EEPROM. Once power is reapplied the previous
failures detected will not affect the display.
When a limit is exceeded, an exceedence event
will be stored in the EEPROM memory. All event
records will consist of two words. One word will
contain the peak temperature measured during the
event with a resolution of 1 C. The other word will
contain the event duration in seconds with a resolution
of 1 second. A maximum of 50 events will be
recorded. If more than 50 events are recorded, the
new event will be recorded and the oldest event shall
be discarded. The prefix E will be displayed when an
event is being or has been recorded and not played
back. The digital display will start flashing whenever a
temperature limit has been exceeded. The flashing
will cease and the display prefixed with an E when the
time/temperature combination is exceeded and an
exceedence is being recorded.
NOTE
Pressing
the
EXCEEDENCES
ERASE
switch for 0.2 seconds or longer will cause
all events to be erased from non-volatile
memory in all engine instruments. There is
no provision for erasing individual events
from individual system gauges.
The event display will take precedence over
normal digital display. The bar graph will continue to
