6 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1.1 Introduction This manual covers the OASIS standby instrument system, which includes the Display Unit (DU), Aerosonic Sensor Unit (ASU) and the optional Magnetometer (MSU). NOTE Installation must be made by qualified personnel, in conformance with applicable government regulations. Standard installation practices described in FAA Advisory Circular No B Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices Aircraft Alterations must be followed. The information furnished is for convenience only. 1.2 Scope This manual applies to the installation of the OASIS standby display, remote sensor unit and the optional external magnetometer. 2 INSTALLATION 2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTING Carefully unpack the unit and note any damage to shipping containers or equipment. Visually inspect each component for evidence of damage. Compare the equipment received with that noted on the packing list. Immediately report any missing items or evidence of damage to the carrier making delivery. Every effort should be made to retain the original shipping containers for storage. If the original containers are not available, a separate cardboard container should be prepared that is large enough to accommodate sufficient packing material to prevent movement. 2.2 GENERAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURES NOTES 1. Standard installation practices prescribed in FAA Advisory Circular Number AC B must be followed. 2.3 Electrical Connections 1. The installer must take the following into consideration before installation. All wiring must be in accordance with industry-accepted methods, techniques, and practices. Refer to FAA Advisory Circular AC B, Section 4 and Section 8 for aircraft wiring requirements. The installer is responsible for supplying wires, cables and connectors. All wires should be 22 AWG unless otherwise noted. Use IL-DTL16878 or equivalent wire and M27500 or equivalent for twisted shielded wired for installation. The length and routing of the external cables must be carefully studied and planned before attempting installation of equipment.

7 Wire-marking identification is at the discretion of the installer. The OASIS system should be placed on it s own spare circuit breaker. Use of any cable not meeting specifications voids all warranties. 2. Refer to the appropriate Interconnect Wiring Diagram in Figures #-# and : 3. Wires and cables associated with the OASIS installation shall be fabricated from, Shielded cable shall be in accordance with MIL-C and non-shielded wire shall be in accordance with MIL-W-22759/16. Wires shall be cut to length as required at the time of installation. Wires shall be cut with sufficient length to adhere to the main aircraft wire runs while maintaining specific aircraft installation practices in accordance with the specific aircraft maintenance manual. Reference the specific aircraft maintenance manual as the primary source for wiring identification and installation practices. Wires are installed and terminated in accordance with the system wiring diagrams in figures XX and XX Figure #-# shows specific recommendation for shield termination for the MIL shielded cables for the OASIS system mating connectors. It is recommended that no more than four shield wires be connected to a lug. Solder sleeves shown in illustration are S03-03-R-100 from Allied Electronics/Tyco FIGURE 1 SHIELD TERMINATIONS

8 2.4 DISPLAY UNIT INSTALLATION When locating the OASIS DU in the instrument panel, take the following information into consideration. 1. The OASIS DU should be located in an area where the softkey buttons are within easy reach of the pilot. 2. The OASIS should be accessible for inspection, maintenance, or removal and free from instrument panel structural flexure and excessive vibration or heat. 3. The OASIS wiring cable should not run adjacent to heaters, engine exhaust, heat sources or any high energy electrical sources that may cause electromagnetic interference. 4. Compare the space requirements of the OASIS with the installation area being considered. Refer to Figure 3 for dimensional requirements. FIGURE 2 OASIS DU

14 2.5 AEROSONIC SENSOR UNIT INSTALLATION The Aerosonic Sensor Unit (ASU) is a separate remote mounted LRU that provides power and sensor data to the OASIS DU. The ASU is connected to the aircraft DC buss and powers up to two DU s and a MCU. Sensors within the ASU provide for computation of Indicated Airspeed, Barometric Corrected Altitude, Pressure Altitude and slip/skid. With the remote Magnetometer Heading information is provided to the DU. The ASU can have a internal battery that allows operation for a minimum of 1 hour without aircraft power. The ASU has a STATIC fitting and a PITOT fitting that connect into the aircraft Pitot/Static system For the dimensions of the ASU see Figure FIGURE 9 AEROSONIC SENSOR UNIT

19 2.6 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES FOR THE MSU The SLZ7367 Magnetic Sensing Unit (MSU) can be seen in Figure x. Note that the direction of flight (forward in the aircraft) is away from the cable assembly. Strain reliefs are provided at both the housing and connector. FIGURE 13 MAGNETIC SENSOR UNIT See Figure 14 for the dimensions of the MSU FIGURE 14 MSU DIMENSIONS

20 Note: All mounting hardware must be non-ferrous materials. The MSU is a 3 axis magnetic sensor that is extremely sensitive to magnetic fields; therefore, the use of non-magnetic materials to secure the MSU to the airframe is required. The MSU requires 3 #10-32 socket head screws (i.e. MS or Series 300 Non-Magnetic Stainless Steel) torqued to 31.7 inch lbs. Aluminum or brass screws may also be used provided that they are torqued appropriately. NAS620-C10L Washers (or equivalent non-magnetic washers) may also be used with the screws. The pattern for the mounting holes of the MSU is shown in Figure. The mounting holes are slotted to allow the installer flexibility in aligning the direction of flight axis of the MSU with the aircraft s longitudinal axis. The MSU must be installed in the aircraft such that the forward direction of the MSU box is within ±0.5 of parallel alignment with the aircraft s longitudinal axis. The direction of flight (aircraft forward) is away from the cable assembly. Note that the MSU mounting flange is 0.25 above the bottom of the MSU. An aluminum bracket is recommended with a 3 round hole for the MSU. The MSU should be mounted such that it is within 2 degrees of aircraft level. Refer to Maintenance manual for the aircraft to determine aircraft level. The MSU must be installed in the aircraft in a location where there is minimal magnetic interference from other devices in the aircraft and in such a location where physical excursions resulting from natural oscillations are minimal. To insure this, the MSU must be placed as far away as possible from ferromagnetic metals such as iron, cobalt and permalloy. It should also be placed as far away as possible from wires carrying any significant current. Failure to install the MSU in a magnetically friendly environment will result in heading errors which cannot be removed by field calibration. The following guidelines are recommended for MSU installation: The MSU shall be mounted no closer than 10 ft to electric motor and relays. The MSU shall be mounted no closer than 8 ft to ferromagnetic structures greater than 1 kg. The MSU shall be mounted no closer than 4 ft to ferromagnetic structures less than 1 kg. The MSU shall be mounted no closer than 4 ft to any electrical component/conductor drawing in excess of 100mA. The MSU shall be mounted no closer than 2 ft to any electrical component/conductors drawing less than 100 ma. Typical installation areas are the tail section or wing tips (See Appendix X). In rotor craft, installation is usually below the main cabin or in the tail boom away from any rotating ferromagnetic shafts. Installation of the MSU within 2 feet of the cabin is not recommended due to potential interference that would affect the performance of the device. When mounting the MSU in the wing, it is recommended that the wing tip lights have a dedicated power ground supplied through a twisted pair of wire back into the fuselage as opposed to a ground reference back to airframe ground. This will prevent current flow in the wing skin that may degrade the performance of the MSU.

21 See Figure 15 for the mounting dimensions for the MSU. FIGURE 15 MSU MOUNTING DIMENSIONS The AHR150A-2-A has a cable and six pin connector with a total length of 17.3 ± 0.3. The interconnecting cable should consist of 3 #22 gauge twisted, shielded pairs. The AHR150A-2-A cable connection is given in Error! Reference source not found. The minimum allowable bend radius for the cable is 2.3 (minor axis). NOTE: There is no reverse or short circuit power protection on the AHR150A-2-A. Failure to connect the device as defined in Error! Reference source not found. will result in damage to the AHR150A-2-A, the host AHRU supplying power to the AHR150A-2-A, or both. The shielded cable can be extended to a maximum distance of 100 ft. The mating connector for the AHR150A-2-A cable is D38999/24JB98SN or equivalent, with a M85049/38S11 Strain Relief Clamp. See Figure 16 for the connector face views

29 APPRENDIX D: ELECTRICAL LOAD EFFECTS Electrical Load Effects The aircraft electrical load analysis must be checked to ensure the aircraft electrical system is able to operate safely with the newly installed OASIS sytem. The electrical load analysis must be checked for two conditions- the total aircraft load is less than the current generating capability of the aircraft electrical source equipment (battery, generator, alternator, etc.) and, the load on the bus used to power the OASIS is less than the maximum load approved for that bus. These maximum load capabilities are provided in the aircraft maintenance manuals. Please note that the ASU provides the power for the DU and the MSU. Update the aircraft electrical load analysis using the electrical load effects shown in Table ITEM MANUFACTURE DESCRIPTION PART NO.
