control clockwise from OFF turns the lights on and
increases their brilliance.
(3)
Engine instrument lights. Each individual
engine
instrument
contains
internal
lamps
for
illumination. The circuit is protected by a 7 1/2ampere
circuit breaker placarded FLT INST on the overhead
circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-26). Control is provided by
a rheostat switch placarded ENGINE INST LIGHTS OFF
BRT on the overhead control panel (fig. 2-18). Turning
the control clockwise from OFF turns the lights on and
increases their brilliance.
(4)
Flood light. A single overhead flood light
is installed. It provides overall illumination of the entire
cockpit area. The circuit is protected by a 5-ampere
circuit breaker mounted beneath the battery and
connected to the emergency battery bus. Control is
provided by a rheostat switch placarded OVERHEAD
FLOODLIGHT-OFF-BRT on the overhead control panel
(fig. 2-18). Turning the control clockwise from OFF
turns the light on and increases its brilliance.
(5)
Overhead panel lights. Lamps on the
overhead circuit breaker panel, control panel, and fuel
management panel are protected by a 7 1/2ampere
circuit breaker placarded LIGHTS OVHD on the
overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-26). Control is
provided by a rheostat switch placarded OVERHEAD
PANEL LIGHTS-OFF-BRT on the overhead control
panel (fig. 2-18). Turning the control clockwise from off
turns the lights on and increases their brilliance.
(6)
Subpanel and console lights. Lights on
the pilot's and copilot's subpanels, console edge lit
panels and pedestal extension panels are protected by a
7
1/2-ampere
circuit
breaker
placarded
LIGHTS
SUBPANEL & CONSOLE on the overhead circuit
breaker panel (fig. 2-26). Control is provided by two
rheostat switches placarded SUBPANEL or CONSOLE
LIGHTS-OFF-BRT on the overhead control panel (fig.
2-18). Turning the control clockwise from OFF turns the
lights on and increases their brilliance.
(7)
Free air temperature light. Two post lights
are mounted adjacent to the free air temperature gage
on the left cockpit sidewall trim panel. The circuit is
protected by a 7 1/2-ampere circuit breaker placarded
FLT INST on the overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-
26). Control is provided by a push button switch
adjacent to the gage. No intensity control is provided.
b.
Cabin Lighting.
(1)
Interior lights. Three cabin lights are
installed in the overhead trim. The circuit is protected
by a 10-ampere circuit breaker placarded CABIN on the
overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-26). Control is
provided by a switch placarded CABIN LIGHTS-
BRIGHT-DIM-OFF on the subpanel (fig. 2-6).
(2) Threshold and spar cover lights. A spar
cover light is installed on the left side of the sunken aisle
immediately aft of the main spar cover. Both circuits
are protected by a 5-ampere circuit breaker mounted
beneath the battery and connected to the emergency
battery bus. Both lights are controlled by the switch
mounted forward of the airstair door. If the lights are
illuminated, closing the cabin door will automatically
extinguish them.
(3)
Dome light. A dome light is installed in
the baggage area, in the overhead. The circuit is
protected by a 5-ampere circuit breaker mounted
beneath the battery and connected to the emergency
battery bus. Control is provided by a switch mounted
adjacent to the light.
(4)
Cabin utility light. There is a cabin utility
light adjacent to each cabin light. Each utility light is
individually controlled by a rheostat placarded OFF-ON-
BRT on the back of the light. There is a momentary ON
switch in the center of the rheostat. Each light is
capable of producing a red or white spotlight by turning
the selector on the front of the light. To remove the light
from the stationary position, loosen the retaining screw
directly below the light escutcheon and pull down on the
light. The light is connected to the light housing by an
11 inch coiled cord that extends to approximately 50
inches. The CABIN LIGHTS switch must be on for utility
lamps to operate.
2-76. EMERGENCY LIGHTING.
a.
Description. An independent battery operated
lighting system is installed. The system is actuated
automatically by shock, such as a forced landing. It
provides adequate lighting inside and outside the
fuselage to permit the crew to read instruction placards
and locate exits. An inertia switch, when subjected to a
2 3 G shock, will illuminate interior lights in the cockpit,
forward and aft cabin areas, and exterior lights aft of the
emergency exit and aft of the cabin door. The battery
power source is automatically recharged by the aircraft
electrical system.
b.
Operation. An emergency lights override
switch, located on the overhead control panel (fig. 218),
is provided to turn the system off if it is accidentally
actuated. The switch is placarded EMERG LIGHTS
OVRD OFF-RESET-AUTO-TEST. Should the system
accidentally
actuate,
placing
the
switch
in
the
momentary
OFF
RESET
position
will
extinguish
