The electrical box is used to disengage the steering
control system when the aircraft is being towed. In
the disengaged position the handle must be secured by
a pin.
In addition, a light indicates when the PARKING BRAKE
is set to the "ON" position. A LIGHT TEST pushbutton
allows this light to be tested.

The Braking/Steering Control Unit (BSCU) is made up

of two identical sets of three boards which form the
_
systems 1 and 2.
At each energization the system supplied first takes
control.
If there is a disagreement between the
the control and the
monitoring channels, the corresponding system is
disengaged and the system in standby takes over.

TIRE PRESSURE INDICATING SYSTEM PRESENTATION
FUNCTION
The function of the Tire Pressure Indicating System

_
is to supply:
- pressure information, for each tire, to be
displayed on the ECAM,
- warnings when pressure in one or more tires
does not agree with the specified pressure.
The warning functions of the system are as follows:
- to show that the absolute pressure
pressure of any tire
is lower than a given value,
- to tell the flight crew when the pressure
difference between 2 tires installed on the
same wheel axle is above a given value,
The indication becomes amber in case of abnormal
pressure.
DESCRIPTION
The Tire Pressure Indicating System has a sensor and

a transmitter for each wheel, and includes
includes a computer:
the Tire Pressure Indicating Unit (TPIU).
The system includes:
- a sensor which measures the pressure of each
tire,
- a rotating mechanism which transmits the

SPARE SEAL ACTIVATING VALVE

_
DESCRIPTION
Each main landing gear fitting has a spare seal
activating valve. The activating
activating valve is on the barrel
of the main fitting, adjacent to the gland housing
assembly. This valve can isolate the bottom gland seals
if a leak occurs from that position.
OPERATION
Under normal conditions the valve stem of the spare
activating valve is screwed out, with the ball away
from its seat. Fluid pressure in the shock absorber
is felt equally on both sides of the upper seal in the
lower bearing sub-assembly, but only one side of the
lower seal. Therefore, the lower seal is subjected to
pressure differentials.
If a leak occurs at the lower bearing housing,
indicated by the presence of hydraulic fluid on the
sliding tube, the fault may be expected
expected to be from the
lower seal.
The cap screw, an indicator, must be removed and the
valve stem screwed on to seat the ball. This action
isolates the lower seal from hydraulic pressure, which
effectively stops the leak, and transfers the pressure
differential
differential to the upper seal.

REPLENISHMENT
The torque link damper must be fitted in accordance
with AMM 12-12-00, but we will consider the general
outline of the task:
- First remove the cap assembly from the check
valve, and bleed screw from the bleed plug,
then attach a hydraulic charging rig, using a
connector, to the check valve.
- Next fit a plastic tube, which is SKYDROL
compatible, to the bleed plug, this is to
collect expelled fluid, so place the free end
of the plastic tube into a suitable container.
- Using the hydraulic rig, apply a pressure of
2.42 to 2.75 bars (35.1 to 39.9 psi) and open
