WARNING
Inaccurate
indications
on
the
standby magnetic compass will
occur
while
windshield
heat
and/or air conditioning is being
used.
The standby magnetic compass is located below
the overhead fuel management panel to the right of the
windshield divider. It may be used in the event of failure
of the compass system, or for instrument cross check.
Readings should be taken only during level flight since
errors may be introduced by turning or acceleration. A
compass correction chart indicating deviation is located
on the magnetic compass.
2-85. MISCELLANEOUS INSTRUMENTS.
a.
Annunciator Panels. Three annunciator panels
are installed. One is a warning panel with red fault
identification lights, and the others are caution/ advisory
panels with yellow and green identification lights. the
warning panel is mounted near the center of the
instrument panel below the glareshield (fig. 228) and
one caution/advisory panel is located on the center
subpanel. The mission annunciator panel is located on
the copilot's sidewall. Some normal flight operations
involve indications from the mission control panel,
described in Chapter 4. Illumination of a red warning
light signifies the existence of a hazardous condition
requiring immediate corrective action. A yellow caution
light signifies a condition other than hazardous requiring
pilot attention. A green advisory light indicates a
functional situation. Table 2-6 provides a list of causes
for illumination of the individual annunciator lights. In
frontal view both panels present rows of small, opaque
rectangular indicator lights. Word printing on each
indicator identifies the monitored function, situation, or
fault condition, but cannot be read until the light is
illuminated. The bulbs of all annunciator panel lights
are tested by activating the ANNUNCIATOR TEST
switch, located on the right side of the caution/ advisory
panel. The system is protected by two 5ampere circuit
breakers placarded ANN PWR and ANN IND on the
overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-26). The
annunciator system lights are dimmed when the
MASTER PANEL LIGHTS switch is actuated and the
pilot's flight instrument lights are on. The lights are
automatically reset to maximum brightness if:
(1)
The
main
aircraft
power
(both
DC
generators) are OFF.
(2)
The INST INDIRECT LIGHTS switch is
ON.
(3)
The MASTER PANEL LIGHTS switch is
OFF.
(4)
The MASTER PANEL LIGHTS switch is
ON and the PILOT INST LIGHTS switch if OFF.
b.
Master
Warning
Light
(Red).
MASTER
WARNING light is located on each side of the
glareshield (fig. 2-28). Any time a warning light
illuminates,
the
MASTER
WARNING
light
will
illuminate, and will remain illuminated until pressed. If a
new fault condition occurs, the MASTER WARNING
light will be reactivated, and the applicable annunciator
panel warning light will illuminate.
c.
Master Caution Light (Yellow). A MASTER
CAUTION light is located on each side of the glareshield
(fig. 2-28). Any time a caution light illuminates, the
MASTER CAUTION will illuminate, and will remain
illuminated until pressed. If a new fault condition
occurs, the MASTER CAUTION light will be reactivated,
and the applicable annunciator panel caution light will
illuminate. Annunciator Panels
d.
Pilot's Clock. One manual wind 8-day clock is
mounted in the center of the pilot's control wheel (fig. 2-
16).
e.
Copilot's Clock. A digital quartz chronometer is
mounted in the center of the copilot's control wheel (fig.
2-16). The quartz chronometer is a five function
clock/timer that is controlled by three pushbutton
switches located directly below the six digit liquid crystal
display.
(1)
Mode selection. The MODE button is
pressed to select the desired mode of operation. The
mode annunciator is displayed above the mode
identifiers, and advances to indicate each of the
following modes:
LC Local Time
ZU Zulu or Greenwich Mean Time
FT Trip or Flight Timer
ET Elapsed Time
DC Down counter with Alarm
(2)
Local time mode (LC). Press the MODE
button to advance the annunciator to LC. To set the
hour, press the RST button once, then press and hold
the ADV button until the correct hour is displayed. To
set minutes, press the RST button again, then press and
