1.3 General Theory of Operation

1.3.1 System 40

A heading system is optional. The autopilot system is configured to be compatible with a particular
heading system if one is installed, and to operate at a rated voltage (A+) of either 14 Vdc or 28 Vdc. Two
independent switches, each associated with a dedicated circuit breaker, apply power to the autopilot
system when closed. The Battery Master Switch applies power to the turn coordinator, while the Autopilot
Master Switch applies power to the rest of the system. Such an arrangement preserves the integrity of
the turn coordinator display should the Autopilot Master Switch be opened or its circuit breaker interrupted.
The Autopilot Master Switch is initially set to the ON position. Thereafter, once the rate gyro internal to
the turn coordinator reaches sufficient speed, the RDY lamp becomes illuminated. However, should
the rate gyro fail to reach sufficient speed, then the RDY lamp remains extinguished indefinitely and no
modes can be engaged. Once the RDY lamp becomes illuminated, the STB mode may be engaged by
pressing the ON/OFF mode selector switch. Thereafter, the following modes may be engaged by pressing
the respective mode selector switch:

NAV
APR
REV
Successively pressing the bezel knob alternately engages the HDG mode and STB mode, provided
that a heading system is installed. However, if no heading system is installed, then the HDG mode can
never become engaged. A particular mode is annunciated once engaged. When the STB mode is
engaged, rotating the bezel knob clockwise commands a right turn, whereas rotating it counter-clockwise
commands a left turn. The autopilot system is disconnected by pressing either the ON/OFF mode
selector switch, or the optional remote AP DISC switch located on the control wheel.

1.3.2 System 50

A heading system is optional. The autopilot system is configured to be compatible with a particular
heading system if one is installed, and to operate at a rated voltage (A+) of either 14 Vdc or 28 Vdc. Two
independent switches, each associated with a dedicated circuit breaker, apply power to the autopilot
system when closed. The Battery Master Switch applies power to the turn coordinator, while the Autopilot
Master Switch applies power to the rest of the system. Such an arrangement preserves the integrity of
the turn coordinator display should the Autopilot Master Switch be opened or its circuit breaker interrupted.
The Autopilot Master Switch must initially be set to the TEST position, thereby enabling the programmer/
computer to execute a self test. Upon completion of this self test, the Autopilot Master Switch is set to
the ON position. Thereafter, once the rate gyro internal to the turn coordinator reaches sufficient
speed, the RDY lamp becomes illuminated. However, should either the programmer/computer fail to
pass its self test, or the rate gyro fail to reach sufficient speed, then the RDY lamp remains extinguished
indefinitely and no modes can be engaged. Once the RDY lamp becomes illuminated, the STB mode
may be engaged by pressing the ON/OFF mode selector switch. Thereafter, the following modes may be
engaged by pressing the respective mode selector switch:

NAV
APR
REV
ALT

Successively pressing the bezel knob alternately engages the HDG mode and STB mode, provided
that a heading system is installed. However, if no heading system is installed, then the HDG mode can
never become engaged. A particular mode is annunciated once engaged. When the STB mode is
engaged, rotating the bezel knob clockwise commands a right turn, whereas rotating it counter-clockwise
commands a left turn. When the ALT mode is engaged, the autopilot system senses an out of trim
condition, and responds by illuminating either the TRIM UP lamp or TRIM DN lamp accordingly, thereby
advising the pilot to trim the aircraft in the appropriate direction. The autopilot system is disconnected
by pressing either the ON/OFF mode selector switch, or the optional remote AP DISC switch located on
the control wheel.

5.2 Purpose

The accelerometer should be adjusted on any System 50 Programmer/Computer that does not pass
section 2.3.2(b) or 2.3.2(l).

5.3 Accelerometer Adjustment Procedure

The System 50 Programmer/Computer is hereafter referred to as unit.

1. Configure Bench Test Set as follows:

Set POWER switch to OFF (center) position.

Set TEST switch to OFF (down) position.

Set SENSOR UP/DN switch to OFF (center) position.

Set RDY switch to OFF (center) position.

2. Set ON/OFF/TEST switch on Adapter to ON (center) position.

3. Connect adjustment setup as shown in Fig. 5-1.

4. Set POWER switch on Bench Test Set to either 14V (up) or 28V (down) position, whichever is
appropriate for unit.

5. Turn unit over such that its bottom cover is now on top.

6. Remove four screws securing bottom cover to unit (reference section 3.2.1).

7. Remove bottom cover from unit.

8. Using screwdriver, rotate accelerometer adjustment shown in Fig. 5-2 either clockwise (CW) or
counter-clockwise (CCW), no more than one complete revolution.

Note: The proper direction of rotation (CW or CCW) must be determined experimentally, by completing
the steps that follow.

9. Place bottom cover onto unit, but do not secure it with screws.

10. Turn unit over, such that its bottom cover is now on bottom.

11. Set ON/OFF/TEST switch on Adapter to TEST (up) position.

Verify: The following sequence is concluded within 15 seconds:

TRIM UP lamp and TRIM DN lamp on unit are both initially illuminated.

TRIM UP lamp is extinguished.

TRIM UP lamp is illuminated.

TRIM DN lamp is extinguished, and remains so indefinitely.

Note: If this cannot be verified, set ON/OFF/TEST switch on Adapter to ON (center) position, turn
unit over such that its bottom cover is now on top, and then go back to step 7. Otherwise,
proceed to step 12.
