1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
 The ADTS 505 is a self-contained flight-line air data test system, enclosed in an ABS case. The
unit provides complete pressure and vacuum measuring and control for on-aircraft sense
and leak testing, functional tests of air data instruments, components and systems.

 The ADTS 505 displays and operates in either units of pressure measurement or aeronautical
units. In the control mode, the rate that the pressures change towards new set-points can
be controlled in true aeronautical rate units.

 There are two independent pneumatic channels connect to the aircraft or instrument systems,
one for static and one for pitot. They can be operated as measure only channels with leak
testing facilities or each can be control channels producing true pressure conditions for altitude
and airspeed. Two pneumatic outlet ports, on the front panel and identified as Ps (static) and
Pt (pitot) provide connection to the aircraft system or unit under test.

 To protect sensitive instruments and equipment a `ground' facility automatically and safely
controls both channels to atmospheric pressure at the previously entered rates of change
and then informs the user when both channels are safely at `ground'.

 Pre-defined sets of limits, stored in the system, prevent excessive pressures and rates
damaging aircraft systems and components. A further five sets of operating limits can be
defined by the supervisor or quality assurance engineer. The user can select sets of limits but 1
cannot change the values.

 The user interface is either the key-pad and display on the front panel or one of two types of
optional hand terminal connected to the front panel. The two types of hand terminal are
identified as option A and option B.

 The option A hand terminal contains all the facilities of the front panel key-pad and display.
The key-pad contains fixed function keys used to select various parameters, modes and enter
numeric values. The display shows various menus, each menu provides selections using six
menu-defined function keys.

 The option B advanced hand terminal is ATEX certified for use in zone 2 hazardous areas. This
computer-based hand terminal up-loads and down-loads user-defined test programs
displaying all test data on a touch-sensitive, Windows® display, colour screen.

 The integral pumps of the ADTS 505, produce pressure and vacuum supplies for the unit's
controlling requirements. The power supply connection for the unit is located on the front
panel.

2.6 Positioning of the ADTS 505

WARNING: IN AN ENCLOSED AREA WITH FUEL VAPOUR PRESENT THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE
PLACED AT LEAST 0.5 METRES ABOVE FLOOR LEVEL. THIS EQUIPMENT CONTAINS A
D.C. MOTOR WITH BRUSHES THAT COULD CAUSE A SPARK.
CAUTION: TO OPERATE, PLACE THE UNIT ON A HORIZONTAL SURFACE (FRONT PANEL UPPERMOST) OR VERTICALLY
(POWER SUPPLY CONNECTOR UPPERMOST) THIS ALLOWS THE WATER IN THE WATER FILTER TO VENT. WATER
COULD CONTAMINATE THE CONTROLLER MANIFOLD AND AFFECT CONTROLLER PERFORMANCE.

Note: In control mode, the water drain, located at one end of the unit near the carrying handle, produces
a flow of air and some water. The amount of water depends on the humidity and the operating
time in control mode.
CAUTION: BEFORE USE, CHECK THE WATER DRAIN PIPE, IT MUST BE FREE OF OBSTRUCTION. WHEN IN CONTROL
MODE CHECK THAT A SMALL FLOW OF AIR COMES OUT OF THE DRAIN PIPE.

Notes:
1 When checking for a small flow of air do not block the drain pipe completely this causes a back-
pressure in the pipe and controller instability.
2 If no air flows from the drain pipe, when in control mode, switch off and start again. If no air
flows after a re-start, switch off and do not use the ADTS 505, return the unit to the repair depot.
CAUTION: THE SIDE VENTS MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED, THIS UNIT REQUIRES AN AIRFLOW FOR THE INTERNAL COOLING
FANS.

 It is important that the position of the ADTS 505 in relation to the aircraft altitude sensors is
known. An altitude correction must be made to allow for the difference in height between the
reference level and the aircraft's altitude sensors (Figures 2-2 and 2-3). The Reference section
contains details of altitude correction.

3.6 Tests Before Use

Note: It is recommended that the following test is carried out, before use, at least once per day.
1. Switch the unit ON. After the power-up routine, fit the blanking caps to the outlet ports.
2. Carry out the standard serviceability test in section 5.
Note: It is recommended that, for protection, the blanking caps remain fitted to the outlet ports
until required for connection to the Pitot-Static systems.
3.6.1 Aircraft System Protection
 The ADTS 505 protects the aircraft system against user error and leaks in the aircraft system. The
system protection operates:
• Limit checking of all aim values entered.

• Automatically regains control if the leak rate is greater than the parameter rate (RtPt, ROC)
during leak testing.

 The pressure controllers within the ADTS 505 have the ability to feed a leak within an aircraft system.
When first testing an aircraft system, carry out a leak test in accordance with the aircraft
maintenance manuals.

 If, during a leak test, a leak in the system produces a rate of climb greater than ±3000 ft/min or a
rate of change of airspeed greater than ±300 knots/min, then the pressure controllers automatically
regain control to minimise damage to the aircraft system. This AUTO LEAK RECOVERY facility can
be disabled.

3.7.7 Engine Pressure Ratio
 The ADTS 505 may be used to check EPR sensors and indicators. Use Ps (static) for INLET pressure
and Pt (Pitot) for OUTLET pressure.

 To carry out an EPR check, the display must be showing units of pressure measurement e.g., mbar,
inHg, psi.
Note: Altitude correction applies to EPR values make sure this correction does not adversely affect
accuracy. The difference in height between the ADTS 505 and the EPR sensor may be different
to the altitude correction previously set for the aircraft instruments.
 To change units:
• Press F2 [Units].
• Select required pressure units, the pressure units are selected in set-up.

5 TESTING AND FAULT FINDING

5.1 Introduction
 The ADTS 505 contains a built-in, self-test and diagnostic system. The system continuously
monitors the performance of the unit and at power-up carries out a self-test. Warning and
error messages are displayed during normal operation if out of range values are entered or if
faults occur.

 This section details the standard serviceability test and the possible error messages and
codes that can be displayed. A fault diagnosis flow chart and table provide the probable
cause and procedures to rectify specific symptoms.

Error messages
 When the display shows a message indicating entry of incorrect data or values, pressing
CLEAR/QUIT clears the message and allows the correct entry to be made.
