SPARE PARTS WARRANTY
ONE YEAR/1,000 HOURS PRORATED
WARRANTY AND REMEDY: Seller warrants each new helicopter part or helicopter part reconditioned by seller to be free from defect in material and workmanship under normal use and service and if installed on Bell model helicopters. Seller’s sole obligation under this warranty is limited to replacement or repair of parts which are determined to Seller’s reasonable satisfaction to have been defective with 1,000 hours of operation or one (1) year after installation, whichever occurs first and reimbursement of reasonable freight charges.
After 200 hours of use, there will be a prorated charge to the Purchaser for replacement parts (prorating the hours of total use against the then applicable part life or 2,000 hours, whichever is the lesser). Defective parts must be reported in writing to the Seller’s Warranty
Administration within 90 days of being found defective. Replacement of parts may be with either new or reconditioned parts, at Seller’s election. Warranty adjustment is contingent upon the Purchaser complying with the Warranty Remedies as described in the
Commercial Warranty Information brochure and the Seller’s Warranty Administration disposition instructions for defective parts. Failure to comply with all of the terms of this paragraph may, at Seller’s sole option, void this warranty.
NOTE: Parts, components and assemblies of all new helicopters may have been restored or reworked due to mars, blemishes, dents or other irregularities during the manufacturing process. Such restoration and/or rework is permitted under Seller’s approved manufacturing and engineering processes and guidelines. The restoration and/or rework so completed does not render such items defective in material or workmanship.
THIS WARRANTY IS GIVEN AND ACCEPTED IN PLACE OF (i) ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANT ABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND (ii) ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, RIGHT, CLAIM OR REMEDY IN CONTRACTOR
IN TORT (DELICT), INCLUDING PRODUCT LIABILITIES BASED UPON STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE, OR IMPLIED
WARRANTY IN LAW.
This warranty is the only warranty made by Seller. The Purchaser’s sole remedy for a breach of this warranty or any defect in a part is the repair or replacement of helicopter parts and reimbursement of reasonable freight charges as provided herein. Seller excludes liability, whether as a result of a breach of contract or warranty, negligence or strict product liability, for incidental or consequential damages, including without limitation, damage to the helicopter or other property, costs and expenses resulting from required changes or modifications to helicopter components and assemblies, changes in retirement lives and overhaul periods, local customs fees and taxes, and costs or expenses for commercial losses or lost profits due to loss of use or grounding of helicopters or otherwise.
Seller makes no warranty and disclaims all liability in contract or in tort (delict), including, without limitation, negligence and strict tort
(delictual) liability, with respect to work performed by third parties at Purchaser’s request and with respect to engines, engine accessories, batteries, radios, and avionics, except Seller assigns each manufacturer’s warranty to Purchaser to the extent such manufacturer’s warranty exists and is assignable.
This warranty shall not apply to any helicopter part which has been repaired or altered outside Seller’s factory in any way so as, in
Seller’s judgment, to affect its stability, safety or reliability, or which has been subject to misuse, negligence or accident, or which has been installed in any aircraft which has been destroyed unless that helicopter has been rebuilt by Bell. A list of destroyed aircraft is obtainable from Bell Product Support. Repairs and alterations which use or incorporate parts and components other than genuine Bell parts or parts approved by Bell for direct acquisition from sources other than Bell itself are not warranted by Bell, and this warranty shall be void to the extent that such repairs and alterations, in Seller’s sole judgment, affect the stability, safety or reliability of the helicopter or any part thereof, or damage genuine Bell or Bell-approved parts. No person, corporation or organization, including Bell Customer
Service Facilities, is authorized by Seller to assume for it any other liability in connection with the sale of its helicopters and parts.
NO STATEMENT, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, MADE BY ANY PERSON, CORPORATION OR ORGANIZATION, INCLUDING
BELL CUSTOMER SERVICE FACILITIES MAY BE TAKEN AS A WARRANTY NOR WILL IT BIND SELLER.
Seller makes no warranty and disclaims all liability with respect to components or parts damaged by, or worn due to, corrosion. Seller makes no warranty and disclaims all liability for consumables (wear items) which are defined as items required for normal and routine maintenance or replaced at scheduled intervals shorter than the warranty period. “Consumables” include but are not limited to engine and hydraulic oil, oil filters, packings and o-rings, anti-corrosion and/or sealing compounds, brush plating material, nuts, bolts, washers, screws, fluids, compounds, and standard aircraft hardware that is readily available to aircraft operators from sources other than Seller.
All legal actions based upon claims or disputes pertaining to or involving this warranty including, but not limited to, Seller’s denial of any claim or portion thereof under this warranty, must be filed in the courts of general jurisdiction of Tarrant County, Texas or in the United

NOTES:
1
Airworthiness limitation for the part number listed applies to all successive dash numbers for that component unless otherwise specified.
2
RIN: Retirement Index Number. Components sensitive to operational events, such as torque events or run-on landings, are assigned a maximum RIN number. This number is based on the fatigue damage that results from normal helicopter lifts and take-offs (torque events) or from run-on landings, whichever applies.
New components will begin with an accumulated RIN of zero, which will increase as the helicopter is subjected to torque events or run-on landings. The operator must record the number of torque events or run-on landings, and increase the accumulated RIN as directed. When a component reaches the maximum RIN or retirement flight hours, whichever occurs first, the component must be retired from service.
3
For every one (1) torque event, you add one (1) RIN to the previous total. A torque event occurs for every takeoff (one takeoff plus the subsequent landing equals one RIN) and every load lift.
A load lift (internal or external) may be defined as a sling load, a rescue hoist load or any load that is added to the helicopter while airborne. For example: if an operator performs one (1) takeoff, picks up and drops ten (10) sling loads, and then lands, he must record eleven (11) torque events.
4
For every one (1) run-on landing, you add one (1) RIN to the previous total. A run-on landing is defined as one where there is forward ground travel of the helicopter greater than three (3) feet with the weight on the skids.
Refer to ASB 407-03-59.
5
This crosstube is modified from crosstube assembly P/N 407-050-202-101 per ASB 407-02-50. Depending on status of part determined per Table 1 of ASB 407-02-50, crosstube may be subject to retirement upon reaching 2500 landings.
6
When the helicopter is used for pilot training operations that include repeated autorotation landings, record
0.4 flight hour for each practice autorotation landing (including hover throttle chops). Autorotation approaches with power recovery to hover do not have to be counted as autorotation landings.
7
The input drive shaft 206-340-300-103 must be removed from service not later than September 30, 1998.
Refer to ASB 407-98-19 and Transport Canada Aviation Airworthiness Directive CF-98-25 Bell.

NOTES
1.
This inspection applies to the tail rotor blade 407-016-001 only.
2.
Do this inspection every 300 hours of component operation.
3.
Remove the tail rotor blade.
4 Inspect the blade roots inboard of blade station 14.50 for signs of damage.
Examine the inside of the blade root pocket (where the tail rotor yoke is inserted) for signs of crazing on the surface of the blade skins. If crazing is detected, remove the blade from service.
Crazing will look like a series of minute cracks on the surface of the skin and will make the surface of the skin look cloudy.
5.
Using a coin or heavy washer, lightly tap the outer surface of the blade in the blade root area to detect delamination in the skin. An area of delamination will sound hollow when gently tapped. If delamination is detected, remove the blade from service.
6.
If no crazing or delamination is detected, return the blade to service.
7.
Install the tail rotor blade.
8.
Balance the tail rotor (Chapter 18).

VERTICAL FIN
53-53. VERTICAL FIN
The vertical fin (3, Figure 53-26 ) is an aerodynamic surface that gives stability to the helicopter while it is in flight. The vertical fin is installed with the leading edge at a 9° angle (with reference to the helicopter longitudinal axis) outboard. This helps unload the tail rotor while the helicopter is in forward flight. The vertical fin is made of an aluminum honeycomb core with aluminum outer skins. The forward and the aft edge caps are made of formed aluminum alloy. The anti-collision light (1) is installed on the top fairing (2) of the vertical fin. The rubber bumper and the tail skid
(9) are installed on the lower edge of the vertical fin.
The tail skid absorbs shocks in a tail low landing.
(Refer to Chapter 32.)
On helicopters S/N 53057 and subsequent, and on helicopters S/N 53000 through 53056 Post TB
407-96-2, a flap is installed along the trailing edge of the vertical fin.

The particles are in granular
NECESSARY PROCEDURE
No procedure is necessary if the quantity is small and you find it at the first inspection after the overhaul or major maintenance.
If you find particles at the subsequent inspection or if the quantity is large, replace the component.
No procedure is necessary if you find it during the first 100 hours of operation, overhaul or at first inspection. If you find it after the first inspection of the first 100 hours and the quantity is large, replace the component.
If the quantity is large, replace the component.
CAUSE
This can be the result from the use of mallets or drifts at assembly. It can also show wear of the oil pump interior surfaces or unusual interference.
This can be result from wear of the silver plated components such as bearing cages and input pinion gear teeth. The quantity can be relatively large until the components fully "break-in".
This can be an indication of too much wear to the oil pump sleeve bearings or the bronze cages.

NOTES
The shaft journal is harder than the bearing inner ring. The inner ring can creep and/or fret and keep excess material on the journal. The material deposit can cause some galling or tearing of the journal surface when the bearing is removed. If there are signs of movement or damage, the dimension is given to make the local rework easier. Remove only the raised material from the surface of the journal. Polish/blend all axial scratches that are galling. Make them smooth with the initial journal surface or to a maximum width of 0.010 inch (0.254
mm), length of 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) and a radius of 0.010 inch (0.254 mm). No more than one rework for each adjacent quadrant in a 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) length of journal or four for each shaft journal is permitted.
In areas where the tooth contact pattern extends to the top edge of the tooth, remove nicks from the top edge of the teeth that extend to a maximum of 0.020 inch (0.508 mm) into the pattern. In areas outside the tooth contact pattern, remove nicks from the top edge of the teeth that extend to a maximum of 0.050 inch
(1.27 mm) onto the face of the tooth. Do the rework with a fine India stone. Finish to be 32 RMS with a
0.1 inch (2.54 mm) radius.
No rework is permitted on the active bearing surface. Nicks or indentations on the race lead in chamfer can be reworked by removal of the raised material. This can show damage to the bearing roller or retainer, it is recommended that you discard the bearing if you find these signs.
Axial scratches to the raised surface edge because of bearing removal and installation is permitted. Blend the scratches with a 400 grit aluminum oxide paper with a minimum diameter of 1.378 inches (35.0 mm).
The tooth pattern that shows pitting, scoring and spalling is cause for rejection. Pitting that causes patchy wear to the contact zone of the tooth can be identified as micropitting and is cause for rejection.
Rework evenly to prevent balance problems. After the rework, fill with primer (C-204), drain and put in a vertical position to dry.
Remove the wear step between the worn and unworn areas of the spline teeth with an India stone. This makes a smooth change.

i. Loosen the three other nuts (1) on the coupling disc pack (4). Torque the nuts (1) in accordance with the torque sequence procedure.
paragraph 65-60 .
j. Loosen the three other nuts (7, Figure 65-25 ) on the coupling disc pack (4). Torque the nuts (7) in accordance with the torque sequence procedure, paragraph 65-60 .
NOTE
Adjustment to the shims of the brackets (19 or 40, Figure 65-15 ) can affect the tail rotor driveshaft segment assembly. If the oil cooler blower shims are changed, do the tail rotor driveshaft segment alignment
( paragraph 65-57 ).
Prior to any adjustment of shims, contact product support engineering. Product support can evaluate the values measured and provide appropriate recommendations.
k. If a measurement is less than the nominal total indicator reading shown in Figure 65-25 and
Figure 65-26 , the angle between the oil cooler blower shaft and the next shaft segment is below average but is acceptable. As the allowable tolerance is dictated by a maximum value only, this nominal value is to be used as a reference only.
NOTE
Prior to any adjustment of shims, contact product support engineering. Product support can evaluate the values measured and provide appropriate recommendations.
l. If a measurement is greater than the maximum total indicator reading shown on
Figure 65-25 and Figure 65-26 , the angle between the oil cooler blower shaft and the next shaft segment is too large. Add shims under the affected bracket, or remove shims from under the bracket on the opposite end.
5.
Following the procedures for the alignment of the oil cooler blower shaft, a final check is required to ensure that end (axial) play still exists:
a. Grasp the blower shaft (51), one hand on each end. Move the shaft fore and aft. An end (axial) play, however slight, must be felt. This indicates that the bearings are not loaded axially.
b. If no end (axial) play exists, follow the procedures in paragraph 65-38 , step 5 . for helicopter
S/N 53000 through 53442 Pre TB 407-02-35 or paragraph 65-38 , step 6 for helicopter S/N 53443 and subsequent or S/N 53000 through 53443 Post TB
407-02-35.
6.
Lockwire the screws (36) and the bolts (38) with lockwire (C-405).
7.
Make sure the oil cooler blower shaft (51) is vertically centered in the oil cooler blower housing inlet covers (26 and 50). The oil cooler blower shaft (51) must not be more than 0.030 in. (0.762 mm) off center
( Figure 65-28 ). If the oil cooler blower shaft is more than 0.030 inch (0.762 mm), peel or replace the shims
(25, Figure 65-15 ). If you replace the shims (25), they must be bonded to the helicopter structure with adhesive (C-317).
a. Tighten the screws (23 and 43)
T

FADEC CONTROL FEATURES
The engine control and monitoring systems provide the following features:
1.
Fault Detection – The ECU monitors the FADEC system for faults and makes appropriate accommodation to continue operation. When the engine is operating, fault codes are stored inside the
ECU in nonvolatile memory.
2.
Automatic Start – The ECU provides for automatic control of fuel flow during engine starts to control the rate of acceleration and limit engine start temperature. The control provides a hot start abort feature that cuts fuel flow off to prevent an overtemperature start.
3.
NDOT Control System – The engine control law is based on a Gas Generator rate of acceleration
(NDOT) system that maximizes engine performance while maintaining safe engine operation.
4.
Electronically Controlled Gas Generator (N
G
)
Governor – Allows engine power control and modulation, from shutoff to maximum power, via the throttle twist grip.
5.
Electronically Controlled Power Turbine (N
P
Governor – Provides constant power turbine speed
) governing.
29 SEP 2008 Rev. 25
76-00-00
Page 5
BHT-407-MM-9
6.
Autorelight – The ECU detects engine flameout and initiates an automatic engine relight sequence.
7.
Overspeed System – The ECU protects against
Gas Generator (N
G
) (FADEC Software Version 5.202) and Power Turbine (N
P
) overspeed. The ECU provides a power up self-test and a pilot initiated test at engine shutdown to verify proper operation.
8.
Failure Annunciation – The operational status of the engine control system is automatically and continually monitored by the ECU. Should a failure be detected it will be annunciated to the pilot. When a control system fault occurs that prevents continued operation of the Auto Mode control, the FADEC FAIL will be annunciated. The FADEC DEGRADE will be annunciated when a fault has occurred that may affect engine performance, or if maintenance action is required following shutdown. The FADEC FAULT will be annunciated when a fault has occurred that does not affect engine performance, but may affect an operating feature such as engine limiting. The
RESTART FAULT will be annunciated when a fault is detected that may affect the ability of the engine to start in the Auto Mode. This failure information will be recorded by the ECU.
9.
Engine Condition Monitoring – The ECU provides an Engine Monitoring System (EMS) to record and log
FADEC system faults and engine overspeed limit exceedances.
10. Exceedance Limiting – Automatic limiting functions accomplished by the FADEC include MGT temperature limiting, N
G
speed limiting and N
P
speed limiting. In the Model 407, the FADEC provides engine
MGT limiting at the engine maximum transient (1661°F
(905°C)).
In regards to MGT limiting, the FADEC system interfaces to the MGT harness to measure engine temperature. When the engine is approaching its maximum transient temperature limit, the FADEC reduces fuel flow to prevent limit exceedance (1661°F
(905°C)). A smooth, controlled transition between governing and temperature limiting is accomplished by the FADEC.
11. Surge Detection and Recovery – The FADEC detects engine surge by comparing the rate of change of N
G
speed to a predetermined boundary rate. If the boundary is exceeded and MGT is increasing, the surge will be detected and recorded by the internal
76-00-00
Page 6 Rev. 25 29 SEP 2008
ECU Engine Monitor System (EMS). The surge will be recorded in the ECU's memory relative to the N
G speed at which it occurred. Without pilot action, the
FADEC will reduce fuel flow during the surge and reduce the maximum acceleration schedule against the current acceleration in order to recover from the surge. The FADEC will then lower the acceleration schedule at the range of N
G
where the surge occurred to avoid subsequent surge. The acceleration schedule is reset to the original schedule at the next FADEC power up.
12. Manual Mode – In manual mode, the pilot's PLA input is tied hydromechanically to the fuel flow metering valve in the HMU. Manual mode is engaged by de-energizing the auto/manual solenoid in the
HMU. This allows the pilot to vary fuel flow to the engine by moving the PLA, via the throttle twist grip.
This manual mode fuel flow is altitude compensated to allow a consistent PLA/horsepower relationship versus altitude. At 100% throttle travel, the manual mode will provide sea level rated takeoff power at sea level. The fuel flow slew rate is mechanically limited to avoid blowout and to provide proper responsiveness for helicopter operation.
13. Maintenance Mode – The ECU provides a maintenance mode function. This function identifies, by a series of flashing lights, the suspect LRU when a
FADEC fault has been indicated. The maintenance mode can also be used to identify recorded overspeed exceedances. This function is only operational on the ground and is a guide to troubleshooting.
76-4.
FADEC SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The Model 407 power plant is made up of a
Rolls-Royce 250-C47B engine with an electronic control system. The control system is based upon a single channel Full Authority Digital Electronic Control
(FADEC) that controls, monitors, and limits engine power while maintaining helicopter rotor speed. There is also a manual mode hydromechanical backup.
The FADEC system has two main components. The airframe mounted Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and the engine mounted Hydromechanical Unit (HMU).
The ECU monitors numerous internal and external inputs to modulate fuel flow and therefore control engine speed, acceleration rate, temperature and other engine parameters. The ECU provides inputs to the HMU to modulate fuel flow based on the
BHT-407-MM-9
continuous monitoring of the following: Measured Gas
Temperature (MGT), Gas Generator speed (N
G
Power Turbine speed (N
P
), Main Rotor speed (N
R
),
),
Engine Torque Meter Oil Pressure (TMOP), Collective
Pitch (CP) and rate, Compressor Inlet Temperature
(CIT), Ambient Pressure (P1), and Power Lever Angle
(PLA)/throttle position ( Figure 76-1 ).
On helicopters with FADEC Software Version 5.356 or
5.358 installed, the engine uses a digital electronic control system based on two electronic governors called primary channel and reversionary governor. The primary channel is a full-authority digital electronic control (FADEC) that controls, monitors, and limits engine power while maintaining helicopter rotor speed.
The reversionary governor can automatically take control over the engine in the event of a primary channel failure. The reversionary governor uses a limited set of inputs and provides basic electronic governing.
To be more specific, the 5.356 and 5.358 FADEC
Reversionary (backup) Governor consists primarily of a backup channel that is contained in the ECU and is isolated from the primary governor by a firewall for
EMI. It provides basic power turbine speed governing
in the event of a hard fault occurring in the primary governor. Failure of the FADEC into reversionary governor mode is indicated by the illumination of the following three lights; FADEC FAULT, FADEC
DEGRADE, and RESTART FAULT. This type of failure causes a degradation in performance and can cause
NR droop or NR lag. Operations should be continued in AUTO mode and helicopter is to be flown smoothly and non-aggressively. Applicable maintenance action will be required prior to next flight ( paragraph 76-38 ).

(HMU) consists of an engine driven fuel pump assembly and a fuel metering unit assembly combined into one unit ( Figure 76-2 ).
The fuel pump assembly of the HMU consists of a side channel liquid ring boost stage and a gear main stage.
The fuel pump assembly contains a high pressure relief valve.
The fuel metering unit assembly of the HMU consists of a stepper motor controlled flat plate metering valve, a metering head regulator valve, a windmill bypass valve, a minimum flow bypass valve, a metering head altitude compensation valve, a pressurizing and shutoff valve, an overspeed solenoid valve, a hot start fuel solenoid valve, an auto/manual changeover solenoid valve, and a manual Wf/P1 servomechanism.
Pump discharge fuel flow passes through the metering valve and, in parallel, through the minimum flow path and out to the fuel nozzle. Excess pump discharge fuel flow is returned back to the pump gear stage inlet by the metering head regulator valve. In the auto mode, the metering valve flow area is set by stepper motor position. In the manual mode, the metering valve flow area is set as a function of PLA/throttle position. In either mode, engine shutdown is accomplished by retarding the PLA/throttle to the cutoff position. This action causes the windmill bypass valve to dump metering valve discharge pressures which, in turn, causes the pressurizing and shutoff valve to close.
Prior to exiting the HMU, fuel must pass through the overspeed solenoid valve. When energized, the overspeed solenoid valve closes, causing fuel flow to go to a minimum flow (sub-idle) condition.

POWER UP MODE AND BUILT IN TEST
The FADEC system incorporates logic and circuitry to perform self-diagnostics. In general, sensors are checked for continuity, rate, and proper range.
Discrete inputs are checked for continuity and output drivers are monitored for current demand to sense failed actuators and open or shorted circuits. A FADEC power up check exercises output drivers and actuators to ensure system functionality and readiness.
The brief appearances of light indications and their respective horn observed immediately after application of power are normal and part of the
FADEC system’s designed initialization process.
If any faults are detected during the self-test, the appropriate FADEC caution panel light will illuminate.
The helicopter 28 VDC bus supplies electrical power to the FADEC ECU until the engine achieves 85% N
P
Above this speed, the FADEC ECU will select between
.
the 28 VDC bus and the engine-driven Permanent
Magnet Alternator (PMA) as its primary power source.
The higher voltage source will be selected. In the event of a primary power source failure, the alternate source will be selected.

START IN AUTO MODE —
DESCRIPTION
The FADEC control system provides automatic start sequencing and engine control during the engine starting cycle. This involves controlling fuel flow until stabilized idle Gas Generator (N
G
) speed is reached.
Starting is initiated by the pilot by placing the power lever in the idle position and momentarily activating the start switch. The automatic start cycle can only be actuated by engaging the helicopter starter within 60 seconds of the PLA being moved to idle. Once the required lightoff (N
G
) speed is achieved, the FADEC introduces fuel to the engine. The engine fuel flow is then regulated to control the (N
G
) turbine rate of acceleration (NDOT) and to maintain a turbine temperature (MGT) within limits while accelerating to idle. Pilot fuel modulation is not required or possible.
Additionally, the control can prevent most overtemperature starts by automatically cutting fuel flow off should MGT reach hot start abort limits during the start.
NOTE
Refer to Chapter 96 for detailed start system information and troubleshooting.
The following paragraphs provide additional information on automatic starts:
1.
To ready the system for an automatic start, the
FADEC MODE switch must be set to AUTO, and the throttle set to the idle position. The start switch is then momentarily positioned to START. Observe START and AUTORELIGHT lights are illuminated before releasing START switch. Throttle modulation of fuel flow is not required.
2.
Although the start sequence is automatic, the pilot is responsible for monitoring the start and taking appropriate action if required. Therefore, it is recommended that both the throttle and start switch are guarded until the start is completed. Do not initiate a start if FADEC related caution panel lights are illuminated unless appropriate maintenance investigation or successful corrective action has been carried out and no “current” faults are shown.
NOTE
After the throttle is set to idle, the momentary contact start switch must be activated within 60 seconds to initiate the start and engage the latching feature. The latching feature of the start will engage when the FADEC ECU senses momentary activation (1 second) of the start switch or upon sensing an N
G
speed of 5%. If a start is attempted following a delay of more than
60 seconds, the FADEC system will not allow the starter to latch following the release of the start switch, and will not introduce fuel if the start switch is held to
START. Therefore, if a delay of more than
60 seconds has occurred, the system must be reset. To reset the system, the throttle must be repositioned to cutoff and then back to idle. In addition, if electrical power is interrupted prior to initiating the start, with the throttle at idle, the throttle must be repositioned to cutoff and then back to idle after power is restored to re-enable the latching feature. A normal automatic start sequence may then commence. To allow for cooler starts and reduce the possibility of reaching hot start abort limits, it is recommended that residual MGT be below
302°F (150°C), when below 10,000 feet Hp or below 149°F (65°C) when above 10,000 feet Hp prior to start. To reduce residual
MGT, a Dry Motoring Run may be performed in accordance with the
BHT-407-FM-1.
3.
Activating the automatic start mode engages the airframe mounted FADEC/start relay, which is then latched by the FADEC ECU until the N
G
speed reaches 50%. The FADEC/start relay places the MGT indicator into the start mode, signals the generator control unit/voltage regulator to inhibit generator output, flashes the shunt field for the duration of the start, and activates the starter relay. The starter relay activates the starter, illuminates the START advisory segment on the caution panel, and activates the igniter relay. The igniter relay activates the engine igniter system and illuminates the AUTO RELIGHT advisory segment of the caution panel. While in start mode, the
MGT indicator is programmed to record start MGT

exceedances, should they occur, which differ from normal operational MGT exceedance limits.
NOTE
The following is applicable if helicopter is configured with FADEC Software Version
5.356 or 5.358 (Reversionary Governor).
4.
Once N
G
speed reaches 10% for ambient temperatures of 80°F (26.6°C) or below, or 12% for ambient temperatures above 80°F (26.6°C) the
FADEC system will introduce fuel, detect the lightoff, and smoothly accelerate the engine to idle while limiting MGT if necessary. At inlet temperatures below
-18°C (0°F), the FADEC will increase start acceleration from 2% to 6% N
G
per second. The increase in the acceleration rate will be noticeable during start and improves start performance at colder temperatures and at higher altitudes.
NOTE
The following is applicable if helicopter is configured with FADEC Software Version
5.202.
Once N
G
speed reaches 10% for ambient temperatures of 20°F (-6.7°C) or below, or 12% for ambient temperatures above 20°F (-6.7°C) the
FADEC system will introduce fuel, detect the lightoff, and smoothly accelerate the engine to idle while limiting MGT if necessary. The ECU increments the start-counter to the next number when lightoff is detected. The start acceleration rate is increased from
2% to 6% N
G
per second for inlet temperatures below
0°F (-18°C). The increase in the acceleration rate will be noticeable during start and improves start performance at colder temperatures and at higher altitudes.
5.
Upon reaching an engine N
G
speed of 50%, the
FADEC ECU unlatches the FADEC/start relay, terminating the start sequence.
6.
Above 50% N
G
(FADEC Software Versions 5.202
and 5.356) or 55% N
G
(FADEC Software Version
5.358), the FADEC ECU carries out a self-test of the auto relight system and continues to energize the igniter relay until 60 ±1% N
G
. During this time the
AUTO RELIGHT light will be illuminated. The engine will continue to accelerate until reaching a stabilized idle of 63 ±1% N
G
.
76-00-00
Page 12 Rev. 25 29 SEP 2008
7.
The FADEC system also incorporates “Hot Start
Abort Logic”, up to 50% N
G
during start. This feature will cut off fuel flow to the engine fuel nozzle if any of the following conditions occur:
a. Start MGT exceeds 1550°F (843°C) (FADEC
Software Versions 5.202 and 5.356) or 1625°F
(885°C) (FADEC Software Version 5.358), at pressure altitudes less than 10,000 feet and if ECU determined residual MGT was less than 180°F (82.2°C) at initiation (5% N
G
) of start.
b. Start MGT exceeds 1675°F (912°C) (FADEC
Software Version 5.202) or 1700°F (927°C) (FADEC
Software Versions 5.356 and 5.358), at pressure altitudes greater than 10,000 feet or if ECU determined residual MGT was greater than 180°F
(82.2°C) at initiation (5% N
G
) of start.
c. Voltage to FADEC ECU drops below 10.3
VDC. As a significant momentary voltage drop occurs at initiation of the start, ensuring a battery voltage of
24 VDC or above prior to start, in conjunction with appropriate battery maintenance, will reduce the possibility of voltage dropping to 10.3 VDC.
8.
If a FADEC aborted start occurs or the pilot manually initiates a start abort by positioning the throttle to cut off, the FADEC is designed to automatically keep the starter engaged for up to 60 seconds from initiation of the start, to reduce MGT to
302°F (150°C). Once 302°F (150°C) MGT is obtained, the starter will disengage.
NOTE
Momentarily positioning the start switch to
DISENG will only deactivate the FADEC/ start relay which in turn disables the starter and igniter circuits. In the event deactivation of the starter and igniter circuits occurs after engine light-off, but below 50% N
G
, the FADEC ECU will either modulate fuel flow to provide a start if N
G speed is sufficient, or cut off fuel flow if
MGT exceeds hot start abort limits due to low N
G
speed. Therefore, positioning the throttle to cutoff is the appropriate method to manually stop the start sequence.
9.
If external power was used to power the start and the battery switch was left in the “OFF” position, it is important to position the battery switch to “ON” prior to removing the external power source (refer to
BHT-407-MM-9
BHT-407-FM-1, Normal Procedures). If all sources of electrical power are removed from the ECU with the engine at idle in AUTO Mode, the start solenoid valve in the HMU will open, causing the engine to decelerate and possibly flame out. If the battery switch is inadvertently left “OFF” and the external power source is removed, do not attempt to reapply power when a decrease in N
G
speed is noted. Throttle should be positioned to cutoff. Reapplication of electrical power could cause an overtemperature condition due to the reduced N
G
speed and reintroduction of fuel by the
FADEC system.
76-7.
START IN AUTO MODE — ALTERNATE
START
For helicopters that operate in approximately 80°F
(26.6°C) and above temperatures, or at high altitudes and experience a hot start abort event, the start procedure listed below is approved and has been demonstrated to overcome this issue in most instances.
For hot and/or high altitude environments, and when prior troubleshooting has not revealed any engine maintenance issues, this procedure can be used to alleviate the possibility of aborted hot starts.
1.
With the collective in the full down position and the throttle in CUTOFF, the pilot can initiate the start by pressing the starter switch. This will energize the starter motor and turn on the ignition exciter (continue to hold starter switch).
2.
Once N
G
has reached approximately 16%, the pilot is to cycle the throttle from CUTOFF to IDLE.
Once throttle is moved to IDLE position, the starter will latch and the starter switch can be released once lightoff is detected. The engine will detect lightoff and smoothly accelerate to ground idle while limiting the
MGT if necessary.
76-8.
START IN MANUAL MODE —
DESCRIPTION
In accordance with the Rolls-Royce 250-C47B
Operation and Maintenance Manual, Publication CSP
21001, Manual Mode starting on the ground is not authorized except for use under emergency conditions or under special permit from the local aviation authority. Refer to the Rolls-Royce 250-C47B
Operation and Maintenance Manual, Publication CSP
21001 to ensure all Manual Mode Operational
Procedures are followed. Automatic hot start abort features are not available in MANUAL mode.
1.
To ready the system for a MANUAL start, the
FADEC MODE switch is set to MAN and the throttle positioned to cutoff. In MANUAL, the FADEC will not latch the FADEC/start relay or control the fuel scheduling during the start. The start switch must be held in the START position until 50% N
G
. When the N
G speed reaches 12 to 15% (refer to Rolls-Royce
250-C47B Operation and Maintenance Manual,
Publication CSP 21001 for appropriate N
G
speed for
OAT), slowly advance the throttle out of cutoff and stop when the engine lights off. Allow the MGT to peak and then increase fuel flow by modulating throttle to maintain MGT within limits. Once the engine has been started, position the throttle to the idle detent and monitor the N
G
speed.
NOTE
The engine idle speed may reduce to the point where the engine out light and horn are activated.
NOTE
If N
G
increases to more than 75% N
G
with throttle positioned in idle detent, maintenance action is required. Refer to the Rolls-Royce 250-C47B Operation and
Maintenance Manual.
Idle detent speed in MANUAL may not stabilize at 63
±1% N
G
.
• If N
G
speed stabilizes below 63 ±1%, adjust throttle to maintain 63 ±1% N
G
.
• If N
G
speed stabilizes between 63 ±1% and
75%, this is acceptable provided N
P
speed does not fall into avoid steady state range of
68.4 to 87.1% N
P
. If this occurs, adjust throttle to avoid 68.4 to 87.1% N
P
.
• If N
G
stabilizes above 75% N
G
, maintenance action is required.
2.
Once a MANUAL mode start has been initiated, it may be terminated at any time by rotating the throttle to cutoff. The pilot should continue motoring the engine until the MGT has stabilized at an acceptable level. Releasing the start switch from the START
29 SEP 2008 Rev. 25
76-00-00
Page 13
BHT-407-MM-9
position will disengage the FADEC/start relay and disable the starter and igniter circuits.
3.
After a successful MANUAL mode start, and idle has been achieved and is stable, perform a momentary switch back to AUTO mode. If engine flameout occurs, subsequent starts/flight are prohibited until the FADEC ECU has been replaced.
4.
Engine acceleration from idle to 100% is achieved by positioning the throttle towards full open.
This is achieved through hydromechanical control of the HMU fuel metering valve.
76-9.
FADEC MANUAL CHECK —
DESCRIPTION
Following start and prior to increasing engine speed and main rotor RPM to 100%, a FADEC MANUAL check is required. The purpose of this check is to ensure the engine responds to throttle movement while in MANUAL mode. Prior to positioning the
FADEC mode switch to MANUAL for the purposes of this check, ensure the throttle is positioned to idle and
N
G
speed is at 63 ±1%.
NOTE
The engine idle speed may reduce to the point where the engine out light and horn are activated.
NOTE
If N
G
increases to more than 75% N
G
with throttle positioned in idle detent, maintenance action is required. Refer to the Rolls-Royce 250-C47B Operation and
Maintenance Manual.
Once the FADEC mode switch is positioned to
MANUAL, the FADEC MANUAL and AUTO RELIGHT lights will illuminate. In addition, the N
G
speed may change from 63 ±1%. An increase or decrease in N
G speed may be noticed. The change in N
G
speed is due to the fact that the FADEC system is not temperature compensated in regard to fuel flow in MANUAL mode.
Engine load and HMU calibration will also play a part in determining if the N
G
speed will change.
Once N
G
is stabilized, slowly increase throttle approximately 5 to 10% N
G
to ensure engine responds and then return throttle to idle position. Position
76-00-00
Page 14 Rev. 25 29 SEP 2008
FADEC Mode switch to AUTO and ensure FADEC
MANUAL and AUTO RELIGHT lights extinguish.
Engine should return to an N
G
speed of 63 ±1%.
76-10. IN-FLIGHT — AUTO MODE
OPERATION
NOTE
To avoid rapid engine acceleration, roll the throttle smoothly and slowly from the idle to the FLY position.
Engine acceleration from idle to 100% N
P
/N
R
in AUTO mode is achieved by smoothly increasing the throttle to full open or to the detented FLY position. As the throttle is positioned from idle (PLA 30° to 40°) to full open, or the detented FLY position, electrical signals are sent to the ECU from the HMU – PLA potentiometer. These signals dictate the amount of authority the ECU has to control maximum fuel flow
(N
G
limiting) based on throttle position, and in turn controls engine N
G
speed. Therefore, as the throttle is increased from idle to the detented FLY position, the fuel flow is electronically increased until 100% N
P is obtained.
/N
R
The ECU has complete control over engine operation to maintain N
R
within Power On limits found in the
BHT-407-FM-1 when the PLA is between 62 and 100°.
The PLA will be approximately 100° when the throttle is positioned to “full open” or approximately 70° PLA when the throttle is positioned to the detented FLY position. Although the FLY position is the appropriate throttle position for flight operations, 100% N
P
/N
R
will be maintained when the PLA is between 62 and 100°.
To maintain the appropriate N
R
speed, the ECU receives engine and airframe inputs, processes them and modulates the HMU stepper motor driven fuel metering valve to achieve desired engine performance.
If required, as may be the case in certain Emergency
Procedures, an alternate means of engine control is also available to the pilot. This can be achieved by manipulating the throttle below 62° PLA. As the throttle is positioned between 40 and 62° PLA, electrical signals are sent to the ECU from the HMU –
PLA potentiometer. These signals dictate the amount of authority the ECU has to control maximum fuel flow
(N
G
limiting), and in turn engine N
G
speed. Therefore, as the throttle is varied between 40 and 62° PLA, the
BHT-407-MM-9
engine N
G
speed can be manipulated to achieve desired engine performance.
To provide additional information on how the FADEC operates, the following paragraphs discuss the NDOT control, Gas Generator (N
G
) governor and Power
Turbine (N
P
) governor.
76-11.
NDOT CONTROL
The basis for this control system is a NDOT controller that regulates the acceleration rate of the gas generator and thereby controls engine power. Each governor and limiter in the control sends a signal to the
NDOT controller requesting that more or less power is output by the engine. These requests, which are in the terms of demand for N
G
acceleration/deceleration, are then compared by the NDOT control.
This comparison consists of examining the current actual rate of acceleration to that demanded by each governor and limiter. Each governor and limiter NDOT is compared to the maximum acceleration schedule and lowest wins to avoid surge. The lowest demanded
NDOT is then selected and a final comparison is done with the engine deceleration limit on a highest wins basis. The winning parameter is then converted into a command to move the fuel flow metering valve causing an increase/decrease in fuel flow and, accordingly, N
G
speed. Fuel flow is limited between a minimum and maximum limit.
This system provides for consistent engine acceleration and deceleration rates regardless of engine condition. The programmed limits are established to avoid compressor stall, turbine overtemperature (1661°F (905°C) in-flight), and combustion blowout.
76-12.
GAS GENERATOR (N
G
) GOVERNOR
In auto mode the pilot's PLA (throttle position) controls the set point for the N
G
governor. This allows the pilot to limit engine power as desired and provides smooth transition from N
G speed N
P
governing at idle to power turbine
governing at 100% rotor speed.
76-13.
POWER TURBINE (N
P
) GOVERNOR
The control governs power turbine speed at 100%.
The control utilizes isochronous speed (constant speed) governing with gains and compensation optimized for the engine installation.
A collective pitch position analog input signal provided by the Collective Pitch Transducer (CPT) provides load anticipation for the N anticipation initiates N
G
P
speed governor. This
acceleration after CPT movement (increase in collective), prior to actual load increase, to reduce rotor droop.
The rotor speed input frequency signal provided to the control by the N
R
monopole pickup enhances autorotation recovery. Using the rotor speed input and collective pitch, the FADEC changes N
G
acceleration/ deceleration to change NP speed to match rotor speed
(N
R
) during the reapplication of rotor load, thus minimizing rotor speed droop/overshoot.
76-14. ENGINE AUTO RELIGHT
76-15.
AUTO MODE — AUTO RELIGHT (N
G
ABOVE 50%)
In AUTO mode, the FADEC is capable of detecting an engine flameout by measuring an N
G
deceleration rate greater than the predetermined flameout boundary rate. If a flameout is detected, the ENGINE OUT warning light and horn will be activated by the FADEC
ECU. Without pilot action, the auto relight sequence is initiated, a fuel flow rate is established, and the ignition system is activated. If a relight is achieved, the FADEC will control the MGT and accelerate the engine back to its commanded speed of operation. The engine out light and warning horn will turn off after a minimum
NDOT (N
G
acceleration speed) or increasing MGT is established.
The automatic auto relight sequence will initiate from detection of flameout until the N
G
50%. Once the N
G
speed decays to
decays below 50% the FADEC will no longer attempt to relight the engine.
76-16.
AUTO MODE — PILOT ASSISTED
IN-FLIGHT RESTART (N
AND 50%)
G
BETWEEN 9.5
In addition to the above mentioned engine relight features, the FADEC system also incorporates specific relight logic, for engine out conditions, when the NG speed is between 9.5 and 50%. Pilot action is required to initiate an in-flight restart at N
G
speeds below 50%.
When appropriate procedures found in the
BHT-407-FM-1 are followed, the in-flight restart logic will introduce fuel scheduling based on the existing N
G speed. Should a relight be achieved, the FADEC will accelerate the engine to an idle speed of 63% N
G
. As
29 SEP 2008 Rev. 25
76-00-00
Page 15
BHT-407-MM-9
the priority of the in-flight relight logic is to help achieve an engine start in an emergency condition, the hot start abort function is disabled.
Therefore, to help reduce the possibility of an overtemperature condition from occurring, procedures found in the BHT-407-FM-1 require that the throttle be initially positioned to the closed position and the start switch be positioned to “START”. Once the starter is assisting to maintain or increase the N
G
speed, the throttle can be positioned to idle and the FADEC will introduce fuel scheduling. Ignition will be provided in conjunction with activation of the starter.
As the in-flight restart logic is designed for N between 9.5 and 50% N
G initiated below 9.5% N
G
G
speeds
, if an in-flight restart is
, normal start logic will be used to introduce fuel based upon 5.202, 5.356, or 5.358
FADEC software parameters ( paragraph 76-6 ). Should a relight occur, the FADEC will accelerate the engine to idle. In addition, hot-start abort logic will be enabled for starts initiated at N
G
speeds below 9.5%.
76-17. MANUAL MODE — RELIGHT
In MANUAL mode, the FADEC controlled auto relight circuit is disabled. In this mode the ignition system has been designed to operate continuously at engine Gas
Generator (N
G
) speeds of 55% or greater to reduce the possibility of flameout.
When the FADEC system is in MANUAL mode, the N
G gauge operates as a trigger device for the engine out horn and light when N
G
drops below 55%. In the event of a power loss to the N
G
indicator while operating in
MANUAL mode, the failure mode will provide
continuous ignition regardless of N
G
speed, but the engine out light and horn will not be activated when
N
G
drops below 55%.
76-18. ENGINE OVERSPEED AND
PROTECTION — DESCRIPTION
N
P
overspeed limiting is available in both the AUTO and MANUAL modes by independent analog circuits integral to the ECU. With FADEC Software Version
5.202, N
G
overspeed limiting is available in the AUTO and MANUAL modes through software control of the independent analog circuits. In the event of a FADEC
FAILURE, it is possible that overspeed protection will not be available. N
G
overspeed protection is not
applicable with FADEC Software Versions 5.356 and
5.358.
76-00-00
Page 16 Rev. 25 29 SEP 2008
The FADEC ECU continuously monitors for N
G
N
P
, N
P
or
versus torque (5.202 FADEC software only) overspeed conditions in both AUTO and MANUAL mode.
The ENGINE OVSPD light will illuminate if the FADEC detects a N
G
overspeed of 110 ±1% (FADEC Software
Version 5.202) or a N
P

If the ENGINE OVSPD light is activated during engine operation, due to an exceedance, it will be recorded by the ECU, and the pilot will be provided with a maintenance advisory on shutdown in the form of a
FADEC DEGRADED light. The FADEC DEGRADED light will illuminate when N
G
speed decays below
9.5%. If the pilot fails to recognize illumination of the
FADEC DEGRADED light on shutdown, it will be illuminated the next time electrical power is applied following the FADEC system self-test. When the
FADEC DEGRADED light is illuminated as a maintenance advisory, maintenance investigation is required prior to further flight. Peak values of exceedances are located on the Engine History Data page of the Maintenance Terminal ( Figure 76-4 ).

Additional information on the N
P follows:
Overspeed System
1.
The overspeed limit control design incorporates four analog speed sensing circuits driven by two N
P speed signals. Two of the sensing circuits are independently capable of sourcing current to the overspeed solenoid valve in the HMU, two are independently capable of providing a ground to the overspeed solenoid valve. False trips are unlikely since a false trip requires that two independent sensing circuits fail. Additionally, the availability of the overspeed protection is high since up to two sensing circuit failures can occur without affecting capability.
The Power Turbine (N
P
) overspeed limiter operates while the ECU is in either the automatic or manual
mode. Functionality of the overspeed system is
evaluated by three methods, power up check, continuous checks, and a pilot-initiated overspeed test at engine shutdown.
2.
The power supply for the power turbine overspeed limiting circuits is redundant to the power supply for the remaining ECU circuits and is sourced by both the helicopter power bus and the engine mounted PMA.
76-20.
POWER UP FUNCTIONAL CHECK
The power up check occurs when the ECU is first turned on. This check ensures electrical continuity of the overspeed circuit and the ability of the ECU to power the overspeed solenoid. This test is performed by turning on each of the overspeed solenoid drivers and measuring the voltage across and current draw through the overspeed solenoid valve. The measured voltage and current are then compared to limits.
76-21.
CONTINUOUS FUNCTIONAL CHECK
Continuous checks occur during normal engine operation. These checks monitor the functionality of
29 SEP 2008 Rev. 25
76-00-00
Page 19
BHT-407-MM-9
the N
P
speed signals that supply the overspeed system. The two N
P
speed signals that supply the overspeed system are continuously compared for differences, and should a difference become larger than a predetermined limit, a fault is declared.
76-22.
OVERSPEED SYSTEM FAILURE
ANNUNCIATION
The operational status of the overspeed system is automatically and continually monitored by the ECU circuits to detect latent failures that could result in false trips or nonoperation should one or more additional failures occur. Should a failure be detected by the automatic test or the continuous checks, a fault will be declared.
76-23.
OVERSPEED SYSTEM SHUTDOWN
CHECK
Functionality of the overspeed system is checked during FADEC power up and thereafter continuously by the ECU. Operation of the overspeed solenoid is check periodically by the pilot through the use of the
OVERSPEED SHUTDOWN test procedure. The
OVERSPEED SHUTDOWN test procedure will shut down the engine only if collective pitch is below 10%, throttle position is at idle, N
G and N
P
is between 60 and 66%
is less than 75%. The OVERSPEED test button must be pressed and held for a minimum of 1.0
second but not more than 10.0 seconds. Once the test button is released, the OVERSPEED test is completed as follows. The FADEC ECU signals the overspeed solenoid valve to close and the ENGINE OVSPD light to come on. Once the FADEC ECU senses an N
G decrease greater than 0.5%, the overspeed solenoid valve is opened, the ENGINE OVSPD light goes off, and the engine is shut down by FADEC ECU activation of the hot start abort feature.
If the overspeed test is unsuccessful, the engine will continue to operate at idle power, the FADEC FAULT caution light will illuminate, and a normal shutdown procedure must be carried out.

When the engine reaches 110 ±1% N
G
, the ENGINE
OVSPD warning light will illuminate and overspeed limiting will occur. The software controlled overspeed limiting feature will activate the overspeed solenoid valve, which reduces fuel to the engine to a minimum flow condition (sub-idle value of 34 to 45 pph). The minimum fuel flow increases the likelihood of the engine remaining running and recovering from the overspeed. Once the N
G
speed drops to 107 ±1%, the overspeed solenoid valve will be deactivated and fuel flow will return to its previously commanded value.
In the event the overspeed cannot be controlled after fuel flow is reintroduced, the overspeed limiting feature will control the overspeed between the activation point of 110 ±1% N

BHT-407-FM-1.
76-25. ENGINE SHUTDOWN
Pilot control of engine speed from 100% N
P
/N
R
to idle in AUTO mode is controlled electrically through throttle movement. As the throttle is positioned from full open to idle, electrical signals are sent to the ECU from the
HMU – PLA potentiometer. These signals dictate the amount of authority the ECU has to control maximum fuel flow (N
G
limiting), and in turn, engine speed.
Therefore, as throttle is decreased, the maximum fuel flow that can be delivered to the engine is electrically reduced by positioning the fuel metering valve to control engine N
G
speed/power.
In the unlikely event that a system fault occurs that does not allow a reduction in engine speed by positioning the throttle to idle, complete the 2-minute cool down at 100% flat pitch. After the 2-minute cool down, the engine is to be shut down by rolling the throttle to CUT–OFF.
Pilot control of engine speed from 100% N

. If this occurs,
with throttle.
BHT-407-MM-9
Following the appropriate cool down period at idle, the engine may be shut down in either the AUTO or
MANUAL mode by positioning the throttle to cutoff.
As applicable to FADEC Software Version 5.202, do not reposition the throttle out of cutoff unless N
G
has decayed to zero. If the throttle is positioned out of cutoff prior to the N
G
speed decreasing through 9.5%, the FADEC “In-flight” restart logic ( paragraph 76-16 ) will introduce fuel and activate the igniter. This can cause a relight and possible overtemperature condition. If relight occurs, the pilot must immediately position the throttle to cutoff and activate the starter.
FADEC Software Versions 5.356 and 5.358 will not introduce fuel or activate the igniter under these conditions unless the start switch is activated.
Additionally, if shutting down in auto mode, the pilot must also allow N
G
speed to decay to 0% prior to positioning the battery switch to off. The reason it is important to wait for the N
G
to decay to zero prior to removing battery power is because of the auto/manual solenoid in the HMU. When you remove electrical power, this solenoid opens and allows fuel to flow to the manual mode pistons. As the HMU fuel pump is very capable of providing high pressure fuel at very low N
G
0% N
speeds, if battery power is removed prior to
G
, the auto/manual solenoid will open and high pressure fuel will flow to the manual pistons and extend them from their parked position. This in turn, will set the open metering valve fault (openMvFlg), and cause the restart fault light to illuminate the next time electrical power is applied. An HMU manual piston parking procedure will then be required per paragraph
76-26 or as described in the Rolls-Royce 250-C47B
Operation and Maintenance Manual, Publication CSP
21001.
76-26.
HMU MANUAL PISTON PARKING
PROCEDURE
Starting with the HMU manual mode pistons in the wrong position may result in a hot start of the engine.
The reason you may get a hot start when the pistons are not parked is because the extended pistons may restrict the movement of the metering valve. Under normal conditions, the metering valve is positioned to a start position of approximately 45 to 50 pph until lightoff occurs. Once lightoff is detected, the system cuts back fuel flow to maintain the required start
acceleration rate. If the metering valve cannot be
positioned to the lower fuel flow after lightoff because the position of the manual pistons is restricting the
ECU's command of the HMU metering valve, a hot start could occur.
When personnel are (i.e., following maintenance) not certain of the position of the pistons or have received a
Maintenance Mode Advisory that the pistons are out of position, the following procedure will assure the pistons are in the correct position (fully retracted) for engine starting.

The FADEC ECU continuously monitors the FADEC system for faults and makes appropriate accommodations to continue operation. Fault codes have been preassigned to those parameters being monitored by the FADEC ECU.
If any failure occurs in the ECU/HMU or in one of the input/output signals that significantly impacts the ECU or control of the HMU, the pilot will be alerted via the
FADEC FAIL warning horn and the FADEC FAIL/
FADEC MANUAL warning lights. With FADEC
Software Version 5.356 or 5.358 installed, the reversionary (backup) governor will be activated under certain fault conditions to eliminate a FADEC FAIL condition. This will allow operations in a degraded mode while remaining in AUTO mode.
If the detected failure does not significantly impair the functioning of the ECU, the pilot will be alerted via a
FADEC DEGRADED, FADEC FAULT, RESTART
FAULT caution light, or combination of, depending on the nature of the fault.
If the fault is minor in nature, it will not be communicated to the cockpit with the engine running.
These faults are identified as maintenance advisory faults and will be displayed during shutdown when the throttle is placed in the cutoff position and N
G
speed decays below 9.5%. This will be in the form of a
FADEC DEGRADED light. The BHT-407-FM-1 provides the appropriate action required by the pilot for each light or light/horn condition.
All FADEC faults have been categorized into five types. The first four relate to in-flight faults and the fifth relates to Maintenance Advisory faults with the engine shut down. Maintenance Advisory faults displayed during shutdown will be discussed under the heading
FADEC SYSTEM FAULTS — ENGINE SHUTDOWN.
76-28.
CATEGORY 1 — FADEC FAILURE
NOTE
The following information is only applicable to Model 407 helicopters S/N 53390 and subsequent and those that have complied with ASB 407-99-31.
With the Direct Reversion to Manual System, faults that require pilot action and transition to the MANUAL mode will be displayed immediately when detected by the ECU. The FADEC FAIL horn (chime tone) will activate in conjunction with the FADEC FAIL and
FADEC MANUAL warning lights.
In addition, with FADEC Software Version 5.356 or
5.358 installed, the RESTART FAULT light will also be displayed with a FADEC FAILURE.
The Direct Reversion to Manual system ensures all
FADEC failures revert directly to manual. Fail Fixed failures do not exist with this system. In addition, the system incorporates a throttle that is detented at the
90% bezel or FLY position.
The main intent of the Direct to Manual system is to simplify pilot procedures in the event of a FADEC failure. This is accomplished by allowing the pilot to keep his hands on the controls during a FADEC failure and enable an increase or decrease in throttle from the detented FLY position as required. The pilot will only have to remove his hand from the collective to press the FADEC MODE switch and silence the horn when firmly established in MANUAL mode.
It is the pilots responsibility to control the helicopter during the transition to MANUAL mode.
In this situation, reversion to MANUAL mode will occur independent of the position of the FADEC MODE switch on the instrument panel. The fuel flow will initially be failed fixed and reversion to the MANUAL mode will begin immediately.
As the FADEC SYSTEM has initiated the transition to
MANUAL mode, the pilot must be aware that an increase or decrease in N
P
/N
R
will most likely occur within 7 seconds following a direct failure to MANUAL.
If this occurs, collective will have to be used to control
RPM.
76-29.
AUTO TO MANUAL MODE TRANSITION
NOTE
The following information is only applicable to Model 407 helicopters S/N 53390 and subsequent and those that have complied with ASB 407-99-31.
The objective of transition to MANUAL mode is to provide the pilot with throttle control of the fuel metering valve and in turn, control engine speed.
MANUAL mode allows the pilot to control N

with coordinated control of the collective and throttle.

The following procedural steps are required:
1.
Throttle – If time permits, the system can be manipulated for a smoother transition from AUTO to
MANUAL mode. This can be accomplished by matching the throttle and bezel to the actual indicated
N
G
speed. This procedure permits the smoother transition to MANUAL. This is due to the fact that the actual N
G
speed and fuel metering valve position prior to switching to MANUAL will be very close to that following the transition to MANUAL mode, resulting in little, if any, RPM change.

P
/N
R
may begin to increase or decrease very rapidly, within 7 seconds following a failure direct to MANUAL. This will require collective inputs to control RPM. The Model 407 rotor system is very responsive to collective inputs and can be controlled by the pilot should a N
P
/N underspeed tendency arise.
R
overspeed/
b. To complete the transition from AUTO to
MANUAL, it will normally take approximately 2 to 7 seconds. The transition will not be completed until the fuel metering valve in the HMU can be manually controlled by the pilot through use of the throttle on the collective. Therefore, use of throttle to control N
R
/N
P will be ineffective until the transition to MANUAL mode is complete.
c. There are two pistons within the HMU, a
Manual Load Piston (slow piston) and a PLA Follower
Piston (fast piston), which must hydromechanically extend to contact opposite sides of the fuel metering valve shaft lever. The two pistons move at different rates toward the fuel metering valve lever. It takes approximately 2.0 seconds for both pistons to make contact with the fuel metering valve lever following a transition from an initial condition of low fuel flow.
Similarly, up to 7 seconds may be required for the two pistons to make contact following a transition from an initial condition of high fuel flow. Refer to Figure 76-6 ,
Figure 76-7 , and Figure 76-8 for additional information on AUTO to MANUAL transitions.

Page 24 Rev. 25 29 SEP 2008
d. An increase in N
P
/N
R
speed may be experienced while in transition to MANUAL from a condition of low to higher fuel flow or high fuel flow to a higher fuel flow. This will be seen if the throttle to bezel selection made by the pilot in step 1 of the procedure is higher than the actual N
G
speed at the time of the
FADEC FAILURE condition. This will occur during the period when the HMU Manual Load Piston (slow piston) engages the fuel metering valve lever and moves it to a more open position until the PLA
Follower Piston (fast piston) is contacted.
e. Inversely, a decrease in N
P
/N
R
speed may be experienced during the transition to MANUAL from a condition of low to lower fuel flow or high fuel flow to a lower fuel flow. This will be seen if the throttle to bezel selection made by the pilot in step 1 of the procedure is lower than the actual N
G
speed at the time of the
FADEC FAILURE condition. This will occur during the period when the PLA Follower Piston (fast piston)
engages the fuel metering valve lever and moves it to
a more closed position as dictated by throttle to bezel position.
f. The approximate time to detect a power change during the transition to MANUAL is summarized in Table 76-1 . In simpler terms, there will be a time delay and possible change in engine power while the system transitions to manual. The length of the delay and degree of power change during the transitions depend on engine power at the time of the transition. As stated previously, the degree of power change can be minimized by matching the throttle and
bezel to the actual indicated N
G
speed in step one of the FADEC FAILURE procedure. This permits the smoother transition to MANUAL due to the fact that the actual N
G
speed and fuel metering valve position prior to switching to MANUAL will be very close to that following the transition to MANUAL mode. This will result in little, if any, power/RPM change.
g. Once both pistons contact the lever on the fuel metering valve shaft, the transition to MANUAL Mode
will be complete. The pilot will have slew rate limited
control of the fuel metering valve via throttle position without any delay.
h. Throttle may now be used, in conjunction with collective, to maintain rotor and engine RPM within 95 to 100%.

NOTES
Auto/manual changeover solenoid valve normally closed (energized) in auto mode.
Auto/manual changeover solenoid valve is opened (de-energized) for transition to and during manual mode operation. With the valve open, fuel pressure is used to position the manual load piston and PLA follower piston.
2
PLA follower piston is controlled by throttle (PLA) position during transition to manual and when in manual mode. PLA follower piston position is regulated by fuel pressure bleed through variable orifice. This provides the means to increase or decrease fuel flow by altering the position of the fuel metering valve. Manual load piston ensures metering valve lever is held against PLA follower piston.
When in automatic mode, both the PLA follower piston and manual load piston are retracted from the metering valve lever. They are held in the retracted position by fuel pressure when the auto/manual changeover solenoid valve is closed (energized).

NOTES
Auto/manual changeover solenoid valve normally closed (energized) in auto mode.
Auto/manual changeover solenoid valve is opened (de-energized) for transition to and during manual mode operation. With the valve open, fuel pressure is used to position the manual load piston and PLA follower piston.
2
PLA follower piston is controlled by throttle (PLA) position during transition to manual and when in manual mode. PLA follower piston position is regulated by fuel pressure bleed through variable orifice. This provides the means to increase or decrease fuel flow by altering the position of the fuel metering valve. Manual load piston ensures metering valve lever is held against PLA follower piston.
When in automatic mode, both the PLA follower piston and manual load piston are retracted from the metering valve lever. They are held in the retracted position by fuel pressure when the auto/manual changeover solenoid valve is closed (energized).

AUTO TO MANUAL TRANSITION AT HIGH FUEL FLOW
INITIAL CONDITION:
Auto mode, high engine fuel flow, throttle at "FLY'' position.
After FADEC mode switch manual selection or initiation of direct reversion to manual:
Auto/manual changeover solenoid valve is de-energized allowing high pressure fuel to manual load piston and PLA follower piston.
Manual load piston "slowly'' extends. Engages metering valve lever in approximately 6 to 7 seconds and begins to drive it to meet PLA follower piston.
Concurrently, PLA follower piston "rapidly'' extends in approximately 0.1 second to a position that is a function of throttle (PLA) position.
close to the actual position of the metering valve at the time of the transition. This will minimize the fuel speed at the time of the transition will produce an increase in fuel flow during the transition. The increase in fuel flow will be caused as the manual load piston engages the metering valve lever and drives it towards the PLA follower piston. Inversely, positioning the throttle to a bezel setting that is lower than decrease in fuel flow will be caused as the PLA follower piston engages the metering valve lever and drives it towards the manual load piston.
After both pistons engage, manual mode is established and no delay exists between throttle (PLA) movement and fuel flow change.
Slew rate limiting is achieved by hydraulic dynamics.

by flight control manipulation and the throttle on the collective. The fuel flow slew rate is hydromechanically limited to provide proper responsiveness for helicopter operation. Fuel flow will be a function of the pilot controlled fuel metering valve orifice size. Maximum Continuous
Power will be available for all ambient conditions.
MANUAL mode fuel flow is altitude compensated to allow a consistent horsepower/altitude relationship without throttle adjustment by the pilot. Fuel flow in the
MANUAL mode, however, is not temperature compensated. Because of this, there may be temperatures at which maximum fuel flow in MANUAL will not be sufficient to produce Takeoff Power.

CATEGORY 2 — FADEC DEGRADED
FADEC DEGRADED faults represent a loss of some feature of the FADEC system that may cause a degradation in performance. This may result in N
R droop, N
R
lag, or reduced maximum power capability.
These faults will be displayed immediately when detected by the ECU. Operations should be continued in AUTO mode and helicopter is to be flown smoothly and nonaggressively. In conjunction with the FADEC
DEGRADED light, the RESTART FAULT light may also activate under certain fault conditions.
With FADEC Software Version 5.356 or 5.358
installed, the reversionary (backup) governor will be activated under certain fault conditions that will also allow operations in a degraded mode.
Applicable maintenance action will be required prior to next flight.
76-31.
CATEGORY 3 — FADEC FAULT
FADEC FAULT indicates that PMA, MGT, N
P
, or N
G automatic limiting circuit(s) may not be functional. In conjunction with activation of the FADEC FAULT light, the RESTART FAULT light may also activate under certain fault conditions. These faults will be displayed immediately when detected by the ECU. Operations should continue in AUTO mode. If both lights (FADEC
FAULT and RESTART FAULT) are illuminated, this indicates the MGT automatic limiting circuit (1661°F
(905°C) in-flight), may not be functional. In addition,
29 SEP 2008 Rev. 25
76-00-00
Page 31
BHT-407-MM-9
with FADEC Software Version 5.358, the FADEC
FAULT light will also be illuminated continuously whenever N
P
has exceeded a maintenance limit
( paragraph 76-18 ). The pilot should follow the appropriate procedures as set out in the
BHT-407-FM-1.
Applicable maintenance action will be required prior to next flight.
76-32.
CATEGORY 4 — RESTART FAULT
RESTART FAULT indicates a subsequent automatic engine start may not be possible. The fault does not require immediate action by the pilot and should not affect performance of the helicopter. It is recommended that the pilot plan the landing site accordingly. These faults will be displayed immediately when detected by the ECU and displayed as
RESTART FAULT. Do not attempt a subsequent start until applicable maintenance action has been completed.
If the engine shutdown procedures are not properly followed, the manual mode pistons may begin to engage during the shutdown. The FADEC may then be unable to prevent a hot start on the next start and will indicate a RESTART FAULT to warn the pilot.
Refer to engine shutdown paragraph 76-25 .
76-33.
CATEGORY 5 — MAINTENANCE
ADVISORY, FADEC SYSTEM FAULTS —
ENGINE SHUTDOWN
Maintenance Advisory Faults are those detected by the ECU that are considered minor in nature and are not communicated to the cockpit with the engine running. The FADEC DEGRADED light serves as the maintenance advisory light. This light will be illuminated if any fault or exceedance has been detected during the last engine run or if a current fault exists. This will indicate that maintenance action is required prior to the next flight. Maintenance advisory faults will display during shutdown when the throttle is placed in the cutoff position and the N
G
speed decays below 9.5%. If the pilot misses the maintenance
advisory on shutdown, it will be reilluminated at the
next application of electrical power.
76-34. FADEC FAULTS/EXCEEDANCES —
RECORDING PROCEDURE
Faults and Exceedances can be recorded under the following conditions:
76-00-00
Page 32 Rev. 25 29 SEP 2008
1.
Engine Operating.
When the engine is operating (i.e., lightoff has been detected), the FADEC will automatically record Faults/
Exceedances as Current, Last Engine Run,
Accumulated, and Time Stamped as they occur. N
G
N
P
, MGT and Torque exceedance values will also be recorded by the FADEC.
,
2.
Engine Not Operating.
When the engine is not operating, but electrical power is applied, the FADEC will only display Current Faults as they occur. Faults will not be recorded.
76-35. FADEC FAULTS/EXCEEDANCES —
CLEARING PROCEDURE
CAUTION
FAULTS/EXCEEDANCES ARE NOT TO
BE ERASED UNLESS APPROPRIATE
MAINTENANCE ACTIONS HAVE BEEN
CARRIED OUT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
CLEAR ANY FAULT OR EXCEEDANCE
WHILE ENGINE IS OPERATING.
1.
Current Faults.
Current faults may be cleared by performing a power reset (battery switch OFF/ON). If fault is no longer detected, associated FADEC DEGRADED light will be extinguished.
NOTE
To erase Last Engine Run and
Accumulated Faults/Exceedances with the
Maintenance Terminal, refer to the
Maintenance Terminal User's Guide for operating instructions.
2.
Last Engine Run Faults/Exceedances.
Last Engine Run faults or exceedances may be cleared by performing a successful engine start or with the use of the Maintenance Terminal.
3.
Accumulated Faults/Exceedances.
Accumulated faults or exceedances may only be cleared with the use of the Maintenance Terminal.
Additionally, N
P
exceedance values may only be cleared from engine history data page with the use of the Maintenance Terminal.
BHT-407-MM-9
76-36. RECORDED EXCEEDANCES/
CONVERSION FACTORS
The FADEC monitors and records N
G
, N
P
, MGT, and
Torque exceedances. The helicopter cockpit gauges monitor and record N
G
, MGT, and Torque exceedances. To determine required maintenance actions following a recorded exceedance, Bell
Helicopter and Rolls-Royce agreed that the helicopter cockpit gauges would be used for N
G
, MGT, and
Torque (Q) exceedances and the FADEC would be used for N
P
overspeed exceedances.
To determine maintenance actions, N
G
, MGT, and
Torque (Q) exceedance limits are to be monitored and recorded by either the helicopter cockpit gauges or the pilot. If a discrepancy between the helicopter cockpit gauges or the pilot is noted, the indication of an exceedance by a serviceable helicopter cockpit gauge/indicating circuit is to be used for determining maintenance action. If cockpit gauge or indicating circuit caused exceedance to be recorded, maintenance action in regards to the exceedance is not required. Refer to Chapter 95 for information to download peak exceedance and duration (time) of cockpit gauge recorded exceedances.
If an operator wishes to determine if the FADEC ECU also recorded a N
G
, MGT, or Torque (Q) exceedance, the Maintenance Terminal may be used ( paragraph
76-37 ).
In regards to N
P
(N
2
) overspeed exceedances, these are monitored and recorded by the FADEC. To determine peak N
P
exceedance information, the ECU must be downloaded with the Maintenance Terminal
(Engine History Data screen). To determine the duration of the N
P
exceedance (time), the ECU must be downloaded using the Windows version of the
Maintenance Terminal.
If the Windows version of the Maintenance Terminal is not available, the following information will help to determine the duration of the overspeed. If the N
P overspeed was recorded by the FADEC as
NpQNppkExLm (Exceedance Limit) (5.202 software),
the duration of the overspeed was less than 15
seconds. If the N
P
overspeed was recorded by the
FADEC as NpQNppkRnLm (Run Limit) (5.202
software), the duration of the overspeed was more than 15 seconds.
When the FADEC or Litton instruments record exceedance values, conversion factors may be required to determine the maintenance actions as specified in the applicable sections of the Bell
Helicopter and Rolls-Royce manuals. This is specifically true when the helicopter cockpit gauge records a Torque (Q) exceedance. Although the recorded exceedance value can be applied directly to determine overtorque maintenance actions in accordance with Chapter 5 of this manual, a conversion to Rolls-Royce % torque and foot-pounds
(ft/lbs) is required to determine maintenance actions in accordance with the Rolls-Royce 250-C47B Operation and Maintenance Manual, Publication CSP 21001.
The following will provide the necessary information:
1.
Convert Bell Helicopter cockpit gauge % torque value to Rolls-Royce FADEC % torque as follows:
• Divide Bell Helicopter cockpit gauge % torque by 1.0535 (100% Bell Helicopter cockpit gauge torque = 94.92% Rolls-Royce FADEC torque. Therefore, 1.0535% Bell Helicopter torque = 1.0% Rolls-Royce FADEC torque).
• Example: 115.3% Bell Helicopter cockpit gauge torque ÷ 1.0535 = 109.44%
Rolls-Royce FADEC torque.
2.
Convert Rolls-Royce FADEC % torque to foot-pounds (ft/lbs) as follows:
• Multiply Rolls-Royce FADEC % torque by 5.9
(100% Rolls-Royce FADEC torque = 590 ft/ lbs. Therefore, 1% Rolls-Royce FADEC torque = 5.9 ft/lbs).
• Example: 109.44% Rolls-Royce FADEC torque X 5.9 = 645.70 ft/lbs.
3.
Convert Rolls-Royce FADEC % torque to Bell
Helicopter cockpit gauge % torque as follows:
• Multiply Rolls-Royce FADEC % torque by
1.0535 (100% Rolls-Royce FADEC torque =
105.35% Bell Helicopter cockpit gauge % torque. Therefore, 1% Rolls-Royce FADEC torque = 1.0535% Bell Helicopter torque).
• Example: 119.3% Rolls-Royce FADEC torque
X 1.0535 = 125.68% Bell Helicopter cockpit gauge torque.

TORQUE (Q) EXCEEDANCES
RECORDED BY FADEC (ECU)
To determine if the FADEC ECU has recorded a N
G
MGT, or Torque (Q) exceedance, the Windows version
, of the Maintenance Terminal may be used.
NOTE
Values recorded by the ECU will be of a higher value and longer duration than the values recorded by the cockpit indicators.
This is normal and is due to the fact that the cockpit indicators are dampened. It is also important to note that the times recorded by the FADEC ECU are cumulative (i.e., times are added from one exceedance to the next until cleared). As stated in paragraph
76-36 , the cockpit indicators are to be used to determine maintenance actions following a N
G
, MGT, or Torque (Q) exceedance.
1.
Install FADEC download cable between computer and FADEC ECU maintenance port on left side of lower console.
2.
Apply electrical power to helicopter and open
Maintenance Terminal program (Mterm version 2.00 or subsequent).
3.
From the Maintenance Terminal menu click File and click Connect to ECU.
4.
Click OK when the Component serial number

76-38. DETERMINATION OF FAULTS/
EXCEEDANCES AND REQUIRED
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
The following information is provided to assist maintenance personnel troubleshooting FADEC system faults. In addition to the steps and information provided below, the Fault Isolation Manual contains detailed information on troubleshooting. The Fault
Isolation Manual is the primary source of FADEC troubleshooting information and may be referenced in
Chapter 73-25-04 of the Rolls-Royce 250-C47B
Operation and Maintenance Manual, Publication CSP
21001. It is recommended that operators familiarize themselves with the Fault Isolation Manual.
Faults detected by the FADEC can be displayed via a
FADEC FAIL, FADEC MANUAL, FADEC DEGRADED,
FADEC FAULT, RESTART FAULT, or by a combination of these lights. Faults are also used to identify exceedances. For additional information on exceedances, refer to paragraph 76-36 .
1.
When a FADEC related light has illuminated in-flight or on the ground, maintenance action is required. Complete step a or step b depending on your download capability.
a. The preferred method to determine FADEC faults or exceedances is with the Maintenance
Terminal. The Maintenance Terminal (Windows version) is capable of providing information on Current
Faults, Last Engine Run Faults, Accumulated Faults,
Time Stamped Faults (Fault History screen) and N
P overspeed exceedance information (Engine History screen). Referring to the applicable Maintenance
Terminal Users Guide for operating instructions, download and note all fault codes (maintenance message codes) and/or exceedance data.
b. If a maintenance terminal is not available, identify faults or exceedances using the Maintenance
Mode feature of the FADEC system. This feature
allows operators to determine faults through a
sequence of flashing light displays on the cockpit caution panel. Refer to paragraph 76-39 for procedures on using the Maintenance Mode feature.
In addition, refer to paragraph 76-40 for procedures to determine if faults are current.
2.
Conduct FADEC system troubleshooting in accordance with Fault Isolation Manual. The Fault
Isolation Manual is the primary source of FADEC troubleshooting information and may be referenced in
Chapter 73-25-04 of the Rolls-Royce 250-C47B
Operation and Maintenance Manual, Publication CSP
21001. As multiple systems interface or may indirectly affect the FADEC, additional troubleshooting information may be found within this chapter and
Chapter 96 of this manual as well as various chapters of the Rolls-Royce 250-C47B Operation and
Maintenance Manual, Publication CSP 21001.
The Fault Isolation Manual may be used as follows:
a. If the Maintenance Terminal was used to determine the FADEC fault(s), refer to the
Maintenance Message Code List for software version
5.202, 5.356, or 5.358 in the Fault Isolation Manual.
The intent of the Maintenance Message Code List is to direct you to the appropriate troubleshooting procedure in the Fault Isolation Manual. This may be accomplished by looking up the maintenance
29 SEP 2008 Rev. 25
76-00-00
Page 35
BHT-407-MM-9
message code(s), determined from step 1 , and referencing the associated “Go To FIM Task”. Locate the referenced FIM Task(s) in the Fault Isolation
Manual and carry out troubleshooting procedures. In addition to troubleshooting, the FIM task will also provide a description of the fault, background information on the fault, possible causes, and verification procedures.
b. If the Maintenance Mode was used to determine the fault(s) through the caution panel flashing display, refer to the Alert/Status Message List in the Fault Isolation Manual for FADEC Software
Version 5.202, 5.356, or 5.358. The Alert/Status
Message List will provide a cross reference between the flashing code(s) displayed and the maintenance message code(s). Once the maintenance message code(s) are determined, refer to the Maintenance
Message Code List in the Fault Isolation Manual. The
intent of the Maintenance Message Code List is to direct you to the appropriate troubleshooting procedure in the Fault Isolation Manual. This may be accomplished by looking up the maintenance message code(s) and referencing the associated “Go
To FIM Task”. Locate the referenced FIM Task(s) in the
Fault Isolation Manual and carry out troubleshooting procedures. In addition to troubleshooting, the FIM task will also provide a description of the fault, background information on the fault, possible causes and verification procedures.
3.
Following corrective action, ensure no Current
Faults are present. In addition, if Maintenance
Terminal is available, erase Exceedances, Last Engine
Run, Accumulated and Time Stamped faults.
Complete step a or step b depending on download capability.
a. If Maintenance Terminal is available, apply electrical power and allow FADEC to complete self-test. Following completion of FADEC self-test, view Maintenance Terminal Fault History and confirm that no Current Faults exist. Erase Exceedances
(Engine History screen), Last Engine Run faults,
Accumulated faults, and Time Stamped faults (Fault
History screen) as required.
b. If a maintenance terminal is not available, confirm Current Faults do not exist. This may be accomplished by positioning battery switch from ON to
OFF to ON (a power reset is required — battery switch
OFF to ON) and allowing FADEC to complete self-test.
76-00-00
Page 36 Rev. 25 29 SEP 2008
Position throttle to the idle position. If a “current” fault(s) exist, it will be displayed on the caution panel via the FADEC Degraded light.
If a maintenance terminal is not available,
Exceedances, Last Engine Run, Accumulated and
Time Stamped faults can not be erased at this time.
Although Last Engine Run faults will be erased by the
FADEC when lightoff is detected on the first start, erasal of Exceedances, Accumulated faults and Time
Stamped faults will require the use of the Maintenance
Terminal. Make arrangements to clear Exceedances and faults at the next available opportunity. If the faults are not erased and subsequent faults are recorded, the previously recorded faults will complicate the troubleshooting of the subsequent faults.
4.
Perform Check Run procedure in accordance with paragraph 76-41 .
76-39. MAINTENANCE MODE —
PROCEDURE FOR VIEWING FADEC
FAULT CODES USING CAUTION
PANEL FLASHING DISPLAY
The caution panel fault display may be operated as follows:
NOTE
Displayed faults may be “Last Engine Run” or “Current” faults. Following this procedure, refer to paragraph 76-40 to determine if faults are “current.”
1.
Engine must be shut down and the FADEC
MODE switch positioned to MANUAL. Place the collective full down (below 10%) and the throttle in the cutoff position.
NOTE
If the throttle or collective is moved during the above procedure or the FADEC MODE switch is positioned to AUTO, the FADEC
ECU will exit the fault code reporting mode.
2.
Depress and release FADEC ECU maintenance button on the left hand side of the lower pedestal to
enter the fault code reporting mode (

FADEC DEGRADED, FADEC FAULT, and the
RESTART FAULT lights will simultaneously flash five times to indicate that the maintenance mode has been entered by the ECU ( Figure 76-5 ).
4.
Depress and release the FADEC ECU maintenance button. If a fault is present, it will be displayed by a specified number of FADEC
DEGRADED caution panel light segment flashes.
5.
Depress and release FADEC/ECU maintenance button to flash the next fault code.
6.
Steady illumination of the FADEC DEGRADED caution panel light segment indicates that no other faults exist for this light.
7.
Continue to depress and release the FADEC/
ECU maintenance button to step through the FADEC
FAULT and RESTART FAULT caution panel light
segments as above, to reveal existing fault codes.
8.
If no fault code exists for display by the selected caution panel segment, the caution light will illuminate continuously when the FADEC/ECU maintenance button is released.
9.
When interrogation is complete, the next push of the FADEC maintenance button will cause the FADEC
DEGRADED, FADEC FAULT, and RESTART FAULT caution light segments to flash simultaneously five times and then extinguish. This indicates that the
FADEC ECU has exited the maintenance mode.

76-40. FADEC FAULT CODES —
PROCEDURE TO DETERMINE LAST
ENGINE RUN FAULTS FROM
“CURRENT” FAULTS
The procedure to determine if the fault codes displayed are “Last Engine Run” faults or “Current” faults may be accomplished by performing the steps in paragraph 76-39 with the throttle in the idle position.
With the throttle positioned to idle, any FADEC fault code that is displayed will be a “current” fault.
In addition, if no FADEC related lights are displayed on the caution, warning, advisory panel with electrical power applied, the FADEC in AUTO mode and the throttle positioned to idle, no “current” faults exist.
76-41. CHECK RUN PROCEDURE
Following completion of any FADEC system maintenance, a successful check run procedure is to be carried out prior to flight. Do the procedures from the BHT-407-FM-1that follow:
NOTE
Following maintenance actions and prior to performing check run procedure, ensure no
“current” faults exist.
1.
Apply electrical power to the helicopter and position FADEC Mode switch to AUTO. Wait for completion of FADEC system self-test and position throttle to idle. If no FADEC related lights are illuminated on the caution, warning, advisory panel with the throttle positioned to idle, no “current” faults exist. If a fault is displayed, refer to paragraph 76-38 .
2.
Do the PREFLIGHT and PRESTART CHECK procedures.
3.
Do the ENGINE START procedure.
4.
Do the FADEC MANUAL CHECK procedure.
5.
Do the ENGINE RUNUP procedure.
6.
Do the ENGINE SHUTDOWN procedure, use the
Overspeed shutdown test.
76-00-00
Page 44
7.
Ensure FADEC DEGRADED light does not illuminate when N
G
speed decays through 9.5%. If a fault is displayed, refer to paragraph 76-38 for a determination of faults/exceedances and required troubleshooting steps.
76-42. FADEC DOWNLOAD INTERVALS
The FADEC system is designed to notify operators of faults and exceedances as they occur or at shutdown/ pre start-up. This is accomplished through light displays on the caution, warning, and advisory panel.
This design is sufficient to advise operators when
FADEC system maintenance actions are required.
Bell Helicopter's recommendation to advise operators to carry out periodic FADEC downloads is solely intended to provide a means for all involved to protect
their interests should a discrepancy arise in regards to
how or when a fault or exceedance was recorded.
Although a specific FADEC download interval is not required in accordance with Chapter 5 of the
BHT-407-MM, Bell Helicopter recommends that operators perform a download with the Maintenance
Terminal under the following conditions:
• Every 300 hours of operation or annually
• Prior to and following completion of training flights (i.e., operation in Manual Mode)
• Prior to operation and following return of the helicopter by a 2nd party (i.e., leasing, rental, etc.)
• Prior to and following completion of maintenance actions by a maintenance facility
The FADEC download should confirm the status of
Current Faults, Last Engine Run Faults, Accumulated
Faults, Time Stamped Faults (fault history), and
Exceedance Data (engine history) ( paragraph 76-38 ).
A download of possible FADEC ECU recorded N
G
MGT, and torque (Q) exceedances is also
, recommended ( paragraph 76-37 ). During the download procedure, a printout of the fault and exceedance data should be taken and kept on file. If faults or exceedances exist, determine if maintenance actions are required.
BHT-407-MM-9
To ensure the FADEC ECU is clear of all faults and exceedances prior to return of the helicopter to service, complete the following steps:
1.
Refer to Engine History Data Screen of the
Maintenance Terminal and write down the Engine Run
Time (EngRnTm) and Number of Engine Start
(NumStrt) values.
2.
Use the Engine History Data "Clear All" command of the Maintenance Terminal. This will clear all faults and exceedances from engine history.
3.
Use Engine History "Edit" feature of the
Maintenance Terminal to enter Engine Run Time
(EngRnTm) and Number of Engine Start (NumStrt) values recorded in step 1 .
4.
Use the Fault History Data "Clear All" command of the Maintenance Terminal. This will clear all faults and exceedances from fault history.
By performing these recommended procedures, operators will be sure that the ECU is free of faults and exceedances.
76-43. ENGINE START —
TROUBLESHOOTING
The following information is provided to assist in troubleshooting engine starting problems. This information should be used in conjunction with
Rolls-Royce CSL-6108.
Lightoff parameters and standard characteristics can be described as follows:
FADEC Software Versions 5.356 and 5.358 — Once
N
G
speed reaches 10% for ambient temperatures of
80°F (26.6°C) or below, or 12% for ambient temperatures above 80°F (26.6°C) the FADEC system will introduce fuel, detect the lightoff, and smoothly accelerate the engine to idle while limiting MGT if necessary.
FADEC Software Version 5.202 — Once N
G
speed reaches 10% for ambient temperatures of 20°F
(-6.7°C) or below, or 12% for ambient temperatures above 20°F (-6.7°C) the FADEC system will introduce fuel, detect the lightoff, and smoothly accelerate the engine to idle while limiting MGT if necessary.
• A normal lightoff can be described as a start attempt that lights off at fuel introduction or 2%
N
G
after fuel introduction.
• A delayed lightoff can be described as a start attempt that does not achieve lightoff until approximately 3 to 6% after fuel introduction.
• A failure to lightoff condition can be described as a start attempt that fails to lightoff regardless of N
G
speed.
The most common factors contributing to starting problems are:
• HMU pressurizing/shutoff valve leakage
• Improper fuel nozzle shimming
• Faulty fuel nozzle
• Fuel leakback into fuel cell
• Faulty igniter circuit
The following troubleshooting may be carried out in any order to isolate the problem.
1.
The HMU pressurizing/shutoff valve may be tested for leakage as follows:
a. Locate the fuel discharge fitting on HMU. This is the long-necked fitting located directly above the
Power Lever Angle (PLA) quadrant on the HMU. The outlet of this HMU fitting faces aft and feeds the lines that lead to the fuel nozzle. Once located, remove the metal line that attaches to the fitting.
b. Ensure the throttle is in cutoff and that the
FADEC mode switch is in AUTO mode.
c. Apply electrical power to the helicopter, turn
ON one or both fuel boost/transfer pump switches, and
OPEN the fuel shutoff valve. Confirm approximately
10 to 15 PSI on the fuel pressure gauge.
NOTE
Starting problems have been identified with pressurizing valves that leak as little as three drops per minute. If the engine experiences a failure to lightoff because of pressurizing/shutoff valve leakage, the
29 SEP 2008 Rev. 25
76-00-00
Page 45
BHT-407-MM-9
second start attempt is usually successful because the system has been purged.
It should also be stated that fuel leakage could also occur back through the thermal relief features of the airframe mounted fuel shutoff valve and fuel pump check valves
( step 4 ). Experience has shown however, that leakage through the HMU pressurizing/ shutoff valve almost always occurs at a much lower pressure than that which is required to crack the thermal relief valves on the airframe side. This is why we use the
10 to 15 PSI output of the boost pumps to check the HMU pressurizing/shutoff valve
(i.e., this pressure is below the cracking pressure of airframe thermal relief valves).
d. Monitor the discharge fitting for leakage
(dripping) over a 5-minute period. If any leakage is detected, the HMU will need to be replaced to resolve the starting problem ( paragraph 76-45 ). If leakage is detected, count the number of drops per minute and provide this information on the removal tag.
2.
Information on fuel nozzle shimming follows:
a. Although most engines will have approximately 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 shims installed under the nozzle, the only way to positively confirm the actual installed depth of the nozzle is to carry out the measurement procedure in Chapter 73-10-03 of the
Rolls-Royce C47B Operation and Maintenance
Manual. Once the installed depth of the nozzle is determined, you can calculate how much additional shimming may be added to move the nozzle further aft.
b. If you are in a position where you don’t have
the tools to measure the installed depth, a general rule
of thumb is to add 1/2 shim or 1 full shim maximum, and give it a try. Regardless of the shimming added, it must be ensured that the nozzle has 3 full threads for engagement.
3.
Information on fuel nozzle replacement follows:
a. If nozzle shimming does not improve lightoff characteristics and no problems are found during any of the tests provided, nozzle replacement should be considered.
b. Prior to replacing the fuel nozzle you may want to carry out the fuel nozzle inspection portion of
76-00-00
Page 46 Rev. 25 29 SEP 2008
Chapter 73-10-03 of the Rolls-Royce C47B Operation and Maintenance Manual. This test allows you to look at the spray pattern of the nozzle.
4.
Information on fuel leakback to the fuel cell follows:
This test will confirm if the check/thermal relief valves in the main fuel cell are allowing fuel to drain back into the fuel cell. This test will require the helicopter to sit for approximately 10 to 12 hours (overnight or the number of hours it takes between shutdown and start to experience your specific starting problem) and may be conducted as follows:
a. Remove the inlet line to the airframe fuel filter
(inboard line) and suspend it so that the opening in the fitting is facing up.
b. Open the fuel shutoff valve.
c. Fill the inlet line to the top of the fitting with fuel and loosely cover the fitting with a plastic bag to prevent contamination (air must be allowed to enter the bag).
d. Allow the helicopter to sit for approximately 10 to 12 hours (overnight) or the number of hours it takes for you to experience your specific starting problem.
e. The next morning, or following the number of hours it takes for you to experience your specific starting problem, inspect the line to see if any fuel has drained back. If fuel has drained back, refill the line with fuel using a syringe to measure the amount of fuel that is required to refill the line. If it only takes a few cc’s to refill the line (due to evaporation or the effects of expansion/contraction), drain back is not an issue and it will confirm that the check/thermal relief valves are not leaking. If the amount of fuel required to refill line is representative of a leak, the check valves should be cleaned, repaired or replaced (Chapter 28).
5.
The following will provide information to test the igniter circuit.
This test may be repeated as required to ensure the auto relight light is illuminating and that the igniter is firing 100% of the time. If this test proves successful, but you feel that the igniter may not be firing during an actual start attempt, it is suggested that someone (or two people) stand by the igniter during start and listen for actual firing. Although this method of testing may
BHT-407-MM-9
not be the most scientific, it is simple and accurate. It should also be stated that the firing of the igniter on the
250-C47B engine is much softer sounding than on
C20, C28, or C30 engines.
NOTE
Prior to checking the ignition system, ensure there is no fuel in the combustion section of the engine. If in doubt, conduct a dry motoring run (BHT-407-FM-1).
Following completion of the ignition system check, ensure the FADEC mode switch is repositioned to AUTO prior to conducting a start.
a. Position the FADEC mode switch into
MANUAL (innermost position) with the battery switch
OFF and external power not applied.
b. Pull the N
G
indicator circuit breaker.
c. Ensure the throttle is positioned to cutoff and the fuel valve is closed.
d. Position the battery switch to ON. Once the instrument check light goes out on the caution panel, the auto relight light will illuminate and the igniter will fire continuously.
e. To deactivate the igniter, position the battery switch to OFF.
f. To make sure the igniter will fire 100% of the time, repeat this test procedure as required. Following testing, ensure the FADEC mode switch is repositioned to AUTO and the N
G closed.
circuit breaker is
g. If the igniter always fires during this test procedure, but you feel that during actual start attempts that the igniter is not firing, it is recommended that the starter relay 1K1 be replaced (Chapter 96).
This is based on the fact that the above test procedure uses the auto relight circuitry to test the system and the normal start circuitry through the starter relay is bypassed.
6.
Information on testing results follow:
a. Based on the results of all the above-mentioned tests, a determination can be made on the possible corrective action or actions. Following any corrective action, monitor subsequent starts very closely to determine if the lightoff characteristics have been improved. Do not make more than one change to the system at any given time, unless you are absolutely sure that multiple problems exist.
b. If all testing fails to identify the problem (starts continue to fail or be delayed), it is recommended that the HMU be replaced. Although this should be accomplished as a last resort only, it is possible that the HMU may have an intermittent internal problem, which is contributing to the start problem.
c. Return helicopter to flyable condition.

PROCEDURE
NOTE
The following information is only applicable to Model 407 Helicopters S/N 53390 and subsequent and those that have complied with ASB 407-99-31.
The throttle positions referred to in the following procedure reflect those stated in the BHT-407-FM-1. The positions are
Closed, Idle, FLY, and Full Open.
1.
Open the access door for the right side of the engine (Chapter 53).
2.
Disconnect the tube assembly (1, Figure 76-11 ) and tube assembly (5) from bellcrank (6).
3.
Install a rigging pin of 0.156 inch (3.96 mm) diameter through the HMU lever (3) into the rig pin hole on the HMU (7). The rig pin hole is located at the
35° power lever angle (PLA) marking on the HMU.
9.
Install tube assembly (1) to bellcrank (6) with attaching hardware (Detail D). To enable installation of tube assembly onto lever (2), position lever as required. Fine adjustments of lever can be made by indexing the serrated washer (8). Install lever with attaching hardware (Detail E). With rig pin installed, torque nut (9)
T
. Install tube assembly to lever with attaching hardware (Detail C).
10. Remove rigging pin and roll throttle to the Full
Open and Closed Positions. Verify contact is made against both upper and lower HMU stops (min stop and max stop). If applicable, this check must also be performed with copilot's throttle.
CAUTION
NOTE
HMU rigging pin must be installed for step 4 through step 9 .
4.
Rotate pilot's throttle grip to the idle position.
5.
Adjust the throttle control cable (4) to dimensions
“D” and “E”.
6.
Adjust tube assembly (5) to dimension “C”. Install tube assembly to bellcrank (6) with attaching hardware
(Detail D).
7.
Measure dimension “A”. Bellcrank (6) position “X”
(throttle in idle position) is to be within ±0.05 inch
(0.127 mm) of dimension “A”. If required, adjust rod end of tube assembly (5) to obtain dimension “A”
±0.05 inch (0.127 mm).
8.
Adjust the tube assembly (1) thread length to dimension “B”.
D O N O T A D J U S T M I N I M U M A N D
MAXIMUM STOPS ON HMU.
11. If adjustment is required to ensure contact at both stops, adjust tube assembly (1) dimension “B”, or rotate lever (2) by indexing the serrated washer (8) between the lever and HMU (7). When an adjustment is made to achieve contact at either HMU stop, the idle position must be reverified using the rigging pin and step 10 must be repeated.
12. If it is not possible to contact both HMU stops, rigging may be accomplished, per step 11 procedure, to achieve a maximum 0.020 inch (0.51 mm) gap at the maximum stop (lower stop). If it is still not possible to contact the minimum stop (upper stop) rigging may be accomplished, per step 11 procedure, to achieve a maximum 0.020 inch (0.51 mm) gap at the minimum stop. The Idle position must be verified with the rigging pin.
13. An additional method to confirm throttle rigging
(Power Lever Angle – PLA) at the Closed, Idle, and
Full Open Positions may be accomplished with the
Maintenance Terminal. Refer to the FADEC
Maintenance Terminal User's Guide, located within the
Rolls-Royce 250-C47B Operation and Maintenance
Manual, for operational information. From the Main
Menu, select Real Time Data. From the Real Time
Data Menu, select Analog Parameters. The Analog

position. With the throttle positioned to Closed, Idle, and Full Open, the corresponding PLA signals must be as indicated in Table 76-4 .
14. Roll the throttle to the Closed position. Ensure the bellcrank (6) and the tube assembly (5) do not lock over their pivot point. Ensure an acute angle of 10° minimum between station 168.78 and the centerline of arm of bellcrank that attaches to tube (1)
( Figure 76-11 ).
15. Once rigged configuration is obtained, confirm proper installation and safteying of all hardware.
Perform throttle linkage clearance checks in engine compartment. Ensure throttle turns smoothly through complete operating range. If required, refer to paragraph 76-48 for Throttle/FLY Detent Friction
Check procedure or to paragraph 76-49 for Throttle/
FLY Detent Friction Adjustment.
NOTE
Throttle/FLY Detent Friction values must be in accordance with paragraph 76-48 prior to proceeding to step 16 .
16. Rig the detented FLY throttle position as follows:

in Auto Mode, with the throttle positioned to FLY. The steps
also configure the system to provide a N
G speed of approximately 90% in Manual
Mode, with the throttle positioned to FLY.
The Maintenance Terminal is necessary to complete the following rigging steps. Refer to the FADEC Maintenance Terminal User's
Guide, located within the Rolls-Royce
250-C47B Operation and Maintenance
Manual, for operational information.
a. Loosen four setscrews (3, Figure 76-12 ).
b. Connect Maintenance Terminal and apply helicopter electrical power. Select Real Time Data –
Analog Parameters.
c. Monitor Power Lever Angle (PLA) on Analog
Parameters screen. Position throttle grip assembly (1) to Full Open and then roll throttle down until a PLA value of 70° is obtained.
d. Maintain the 70° PLA value with throttle position and turn ferrule/bezel (2) until the ball plunger
(6) engages the groove of FLY detent (7).
e. Tighten the four setscrews (3) sufficiently to keep ferrule/bezel (2) in position.
f. Turn the throttle grip assembly (1) from Full
Open until the ball plunger (6) is engaged in the groove of FLY detent (7). Make sure that the PLA value is 69.5 to 70.5°, when the throttle is positioned from Full Open into the FLY detent. If necessary, readjust per step 16 until the 69.5 to 70.5 PLA value is obtained.
g. If repainting of the throttle position line (5) is required, position throttle until ball plunger (6) engages in groove of FLY detent (7). Paint white line 0.06 inch
(1.52 mm) wide by 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) long, aligned with the FLY position of throttle.

COLLECTIVE PITCH TRANSDUCER (CPT)
The Collective Pitch (CP) transducer is installed under the copilot seat. The transducer tells the FADEC system the rate of movement of the collective control stick. The transducer is an electrical potentiometer that is connected to the airframe at one end and connected to a clamp assembly installed on the collective jackshaft. When the collective control stick is
lifted or lowered, the transducer increases or
decreases in length, which changes the resistance output to the FADEC system. The output signal allows the FADEC to provide anticipation logic, which helps to reduce main rotor RPM droop and overshoot.

COMPRESSOR INLET TEMPERATURE
(CIT) SENSOR
1.
The purpose of the Compressor Inlet
Temperature (CIT) sensor is to provide the FADEC with information on compressor air inlet temperature.
The CIT sensor is mounted on the upper left-hand side of the forward engine firewall. When installed, the actual temperature probe of the sensor is located on the forward side of the engine firewall. In this position, the probe of the CIT sensor is protected from foreign object damage and from ice buildup. The sensor has
two temperature sensing coils for redundancy.

RESULT:
• If temperatures are within ±1.8°F (±1°C), proceed to step 6 .
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
• If temperatures are not within ±1.8°F (±1°C), do not immediately assume the CIT sensor is faulty. As the CIT sensor contains two independent coils and the wiring to the ECU is separate for each coil, it is possible that the temperature source that the CIT was being compared to is inaccurate. If the FADEC detects a difference in the rate or range of the temperature signals between the two CIT circuits, a fault will be declared. To further check the CIT circuit, refer to the Fault
Isolation Manual in Chapter 73-25-04 of the
Rolls-Royce 250-C47B Operation and
Maintenance Manual, Publication CSP 21001.
The section “CIT (T1) TEMPERATURE
SENSOR CIRCUIT FAULT” will provide resistance values to check both the CIT sensor and its associated wiring to the ECU.

The life of the battery is estimated to be 10 years. If the battery goes dead, only the date function is affected. The indicator will continue to operate and record exceedances without the date stamp.
95-55. PROPULSION INSTRUMENTS
BUILT-INTEST (BIT) — DESCRIPTION
All of the propulsion instruments have a built-in test
(BIT) capability.
The two possible BIT functions are the power-on BIT and the commanded BIT.
95-56. Power-on BIT
The power-on BIT starts when power is applied to the instrument. The power-on BIT does an integrity check of the electronic components of the indicator. On all indicators during this BIT, except for the dual tachometer, all of the Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) on the analog single bar display come on and show the maximum scale. On the torque, MGT, and NG indicators, the digital display flashes and the letter E comes on. Any failure found during the BIT for these specific indicators is written to their respective non-volatile memory (NVM). Refer to paragraph 95-58 for the procedure to retrieve the failure codes for each indicator. On the dual tachometer indicator, the individual rotor (R) and turbine (T) pointers are driven to indicate their respective upper red line limits, if no faults are detected. If faults are detected, the pointer movement does not occur. The BIT causes these indications for approximately 6 to 8 seconds. After that time, the indicators go back to their normal indication.
95-57. Commanded BIT
The commanded BIT starts when the LCD CHECK switch (1S15) is pushed, and performs a check of all of the LCDs. On all indicators during this BIT, all of the
LCDs on the analog single bar display come on and show the maximum scale. In addition, the rotor (R) and turbine (T) pointers on the dual tachometer are driven to their respective upper limits.
95-58. PROPULSION INSTRUMENTS —
EXCEEDANCE DATA RETRIEVAL/
VIEWING/ERASING/INDICATOR CLOCK
SET
The torque indicator, MGT indicator, and NG indicator are connected to an RS-485 maintenance bus. The
RS-485 maintenance bus gives access to the memory of these instruments to retrieve and erase exceedance data. The RS-485 maintenance bus also gives access to the real time clock of the three instruments, to set the time of the clock.This is done with the use of a laptop computer and software. The laptop computer is connected to the MAINTENANCE PORT -
INSTRUMENTS receptacle of the RS-485 maintenance bus with a special cable assembly.

The input signal from the N1 pickup is supplied to the signal conditioner. The output of the signal conditioner is sent to the analog to digital (A/D) converter where the analog signal is converted to a digital signal. The digital signal is then sent to the processor. The processor controls the operation of the indicator from the operation parameters of the software program in its memory.
The 28 VDC bus supplies the power input to the electronic components of the indicator. The 28 VDC is supplied through the ENGINE INSTR NG (1CB24) circuit breaker on the overhead panel. Three fluorescent green lights are mounted behind the dial face of the NG indicator. The LCDs of the NG indicator do not normally allow the light to pass through them.
With input to the NG indicator, the NG indicator turns each LCD segment clear. This allow the green light to shine through illuminating each segment. The green lights are controlled in intensity depending on the input from the 5 VDC lighting circuit.
When the FADEC/ECU is operating in manual mode, the engine out warning system in the FADEC/ECU is inoperative. When the FADEC/ECU switch is placed in the manual mode, an alternate ground circuit is provided for the engine out warning horn through the
FADEC/ECU switch and the NG indicator. Pin 13 of the
NG indicator is normally closed to ground. This contact will open when the N1 pickup signal is 9818 Hz or above (55% NG or above). Therefore, with the FADEC/
ECU in the manual mode, if the NG indicator drops below 55 %, the engine out horn will operate.
