THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL HAS BEEN PREPARATED BY CENTRO DE CAPACITACION MasAir WITH
INFORMATION EXTRACTED FROM AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL IN ORDER TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL TRAINING.
AT MOMENT OF ELABORATION ITS CONSIDERED UPDATED, ALL TECHNICAL DATAS, LIMITS AND TOLERANCES USED ON
THIS MANUAL AND SHOULD BE USED
GENERAL
PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM
THE PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM SCHEDULE CABIN ALTITUDE TO AIRPLANE ALTITUDE DURING VARIETY OF FLIGHT MODES TO
MINIMIZE PASSENGER DISCOMFORT CAUSED BY RAPID CHANGES IN AIR PRESSURE.
SYSTEM CONTROL IS MAINTAINED IN EITHER OF TWO INDEPENDENT AUTOMATIC MODES OR BY A MANUAL MODE.
PRESSURE RELIEF - SO THAT AIRPLANE STRUCTURAL LIMITATIONS ARE NOT EXCEEDED — IS PROVIDED TWO WAYS. POSITIVE
PRESSURE RELIEF IS PROVIDED BY TWO POSITIVE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES. NEGATIVE PRESSURE RELIEF IS PROVIDED BY
FOUR SPRING LOADED VENT DOORS WHICH ARE INTEGRAL COMPONENTS OF THE CARGO DOORS. ON THE -300 /-300 ER
AIRPLANES AN ADDITIONAL NEGATIVE PRESSURE RELIEF DOOR IS LOCATED FORWARD OF THE TWO POSITIVE PRESSURE
RELIEF VALVES.
ALTITUDE WARNING IS PROVIDED BY AN EICAS LEVEL A WARNING FOR EXCESSIVE CABIN ALTITUDE.
A SELECTOR PANEL, TWO AUTOMATIC CONTROLLERS, AN OUTFLOW VALVE, PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES, AND A CABIN
ALTITUDE WARNING SWITCH.
THE COMPONENTS FUNCTION TO PERMIT AIRCRAFT FLIGHT ALTITUDES UP TO NOMINAL 43,000 FEET WITH CABIN PRESSURE
CONTROLLED TO EQUIVALENT ALTITUDES BETWEEN MINUS 1,000 FEET AND 14,000 FEET. THE NOMINAL MAXIMUM PRESSURE
DIFFERENTIAL IS 8.6 PSI.
THE SELECTOR PANEL PROVIDES CONTROL-DISPLAY INTERFACE BETWEEN THE FLIGHT CREW AND THE SYSTEM.
THE TWO CONTROLLERS PROVIDE REDUNDANT AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF THE OUTFLOW VALVE ACTUATOR.
TWO IDENTICAL PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES ARE PROVIDED FOR OVERPRESSURE PROTECTION OF THE PRESSURIZED CABIN.
FIVE NEGATIVE PRESSURE VENT DOORS ARE PROVIDED FOR NEGATIVE PRESSURE PROTECTION.
THE CABIN PRESSURE SELECTOR PANEL CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING CONTROLS AND INDICATORS:
MODE SELECT SWITCH ALLOWS AUTO 1, AUTO 2 OR MANUAL SELECTION. LANDING ALTITUDE SELECTOR ALLOWS
LANDING ALTITUDE SELECTION FROM -1, 000 TO 14,000 FEET. LANDING ALTITUDE COUNTER PROVIDES READOUT OF
LANDING ALTITUDE SELECTED.
RATE LIMIT SELECTOR ALLOWS MINIMUM CABIN RATE LIMIT SELECTION OF 50 FEET PER MINUTE (FPM) CLIMB /30
FPM DESCENT AND MAXIMUM CABIN RATE LIMIT SELECTION OF 2,000 FPM CLIMB/1,200 FPM DESCENT.
THE OUTFLOW VALVE MANUAL SWITCH PROVIDES DIRECTS POSITIONING OF OUTFLOW VALVE BY A SINGLE DC
MOTOR.
OUTFLOW VALVE POSITION INDICATOR PROVIDES INDICATION OF OUTFLOW VALVE POSITION. AUTO INOP LIGHT
ILLUMINATES FOR FAILURE OF BOTH AUTOMATIC CONTROL SYSTEMS, OR IF THE MANUAL MODE IS SELECTED.
TWO IDENTICAL 115 VOLT AC, 400 HZ AC MOTORS ARE USED - ONE FOR EACH AUTO MODE OF CONTROL.
A 28-VOLT DC MOTOR CONTROLS THE VALVE IN THE MANUAL MODE. THE OUTPUT SHAFT IS DRIVEN BY THE AC OR DC MOTORS
THROUGH A COMPOUND PLANETARY GEAR.
ACTUATOR REMOVAL
REMOVE ELECTRICAL POWER.
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS.
REMOVE COTTER PIN, NUT, WASHER AND BOLT SECURING ACTUATOR DRIVE LINK TO DOOR PUSH ROD.
REMOVE SAFETY WIRE, TWO BOLTS, AND TWO WASHERS ATTACHING ACTUATOR TO OUTFLOW VALVE FRAME.
REMOVE ACTUATOR FROM OUTFLOW VALVE FRAME.
AC MOTOR REMOVAL
REMOVE ELECTRICAL POWER.
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR.
LOOSEN THREE CAPTIVE SCREWS ATTACHING AC MOTOR TO ACTUATOR GEARBOX.
REMOVE AC MOTOR FROM GEARBOX.
LOCATION
THE AUTOMATIC PRESSURE CONTROLLERS ARE LOCATED IN TWO PLACES IN THE MAIN EQUIPMENT CENTER:
AUTO 1 CONTROLLER IN THE E1-2 RACK
AUTO 2 CONTROLLER IN THE E2-3 RACK
PURPOSE
THE TWO PRESSURE CONTROLLERS PROVIDE AUTOMATIC, REDUNDANT CONTROL OF THE CABIN OUTFLOW VALVE WITH
MINIMUM CREW INPUT.
INTERCHANGEABILITY
THE CONTROLLERS ARE IDENTICAL AND INTERCHANGEABLE.
CONTROLLER FACE
EACH CONTROLLER FACE CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING:
BITE INSTRUCTIONS
BITE CONTROLS
BITE FAULT AND STATUS INDICATION
CABIN ALTITUDE PRESSURE SENSOR
THE BUILT-IN-TEST ENABLES THE CONTROLLER TO DISPLAY FAULTS AND INFORMATION STORED IN MEMORY. COMPONENT
LIGHTS IDENTIFY FAULTS. STATUS LIGHTS PROVIDE CONTROLLER / SYSTEM INFORMATION. THE PRESSURE SENSOR PROVIDES
CABIN ALTITUDE INPUT.
INSTRUMENTATION
THREE INDEPENDENT PRESSURE INSTRUMENTS; DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE, CABIN ALTITUDE, RATE OF CHANGE AND AN
OUTFLOW VALVE POSITION INDICATOR ARE PROVIDED FOR FLIGHT REFERENCE AND MANUAL MODE OPERATION.
CONTROLLER
PRESSURIZATION SYSTEM INCLUDES TWO CONTROLLERS; ONE OF THESE IS SELECTED AS THE ACTIVE CONTROLLER, WHILE
THE SECOND IS IN A MONITOR STATUS.
THE CONTROLLER GENERATES CABIN PRESSURE AUTO SCHEDULE LIMITED BY LANDING FIELD INPUT AND MAXIMUM
DIFFERENTIAL (CABIN / AIRPLANE ALTITUDE) PRESSURE. ANY ERROR BETWEEN ACTUAL AND COMMANDED CABIN ALTITUDE
DETERMINES THE CABIN PRESSURE RATE OF CHANGE LIMITED BY THE SELECTED RATE.
THE CONTROLLER HAS AN ANEROID SWITCH AS A SAFETY MEASURE. WHEN THE CABIN PRESSURE ALTITUDE CLIMBS TO 11,000
FEET, THE SYSTEM DISCONNECTS POWER FROM THE NORMAL SIGNAL FLOW CHANNEL AND CONNECTS THE VALVE CLOSE
WINDING OF THE MOTOR TO THE 115 VOLT AC POWER SUPPLY.
TACHOMETER
A FEEDBACK SIGNAL TO THE CONTROLLER IMPROVES THE SPEED RESPONSE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE OUTFLOW VALVE AC
MOTOR.
FAULT DETECTION
FAULT DETECTION CIRCUITS IN THE CONTROLLER WILL CAUSE A SWITCHOVER TO THE MONITOR CONTROLLER WHENEVER
CERTAIN FAULT CONDITIONS ARE DETECTED. IN EACH CASE EICAS WILL RECEIVE A STATUS MESSAGE OF CABIN ALT AUTO 1 OR
2 (S. M.).
IF POWER IS REMOVED FROM THE SELECTED CONTROLLER FOR A PERIOD LONGER THAN TWO SECONDS, THE SYSTEM CONTROL
SWITCHES OVER TO THE MONITOR CONTROLLER AFTER PERFORMING CHECKS ON ITSELF. IF POWER IS RESTORED, THE
SELECTED CONTROLLER WILL RESUME CONTROL AGAIN.
ACTUATOR MOTOR, SELECTOR PANEL, AND CONTROLLER FAULTS WILL ALSO CAUSE A SWITCHOVER FROM SELECTED TO
MONITOR CONTROLLER.
LOW INFLOW
WHEN THE OUTFLOW VALVE IS COMPLETELY CLOSED AND THE CABIN PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DECREASE, THE CONTROLLER
WILL STORE A LOW INFLOW INPUT IN MEMORY.
NO SWITCHOVER WILL OCCUR FROM THIS CONDITION.
MANUAL CONTROL
THE 28 VOLT DC STANDBY BUS CONTROLS THE DC MOTOR DIRECTLY VIA MANUAL CONTROL SWITCH.
