WARNING SUMMARY
Personnel performing operations, procedures, and practices which are included or implied in this technical manual shall
observe the following warnings. To disregard these warnings and precautionary information can cause serious injury,
death, or an aborted mission.
WARNING
FIRST AID - refer to FM 4-25-11.
AC POWER - before applying ac power to the helicopter, make sure that the area around the stabilator is clear of
personnel and equipment. Should the stabilator be in any position other than trailing edge fully down, it may reposition
automatically to fully down when ac power is applied.
CARBON MONOXIDE - during cold weather operations when preheating is necessary, all personnel shall become
acquainted with the various types of heaters and where they are to be used. Be careful of accumulations of carbon
monoxide and damage to heat-sensitive equipment.
CONSUMABLE MATERIALS - observe all cautions and warnings on the containers when using consumables. When
applicable wear necessary protective gear during handling and use. If a consumable is flammable or explosive, MAKE
SURE consumable and its vapors are kept away from heat, spark, and flame. MAKE SURE helicopter is properly
grounded and firefighting equipment is readily available for use.
SAFETY PINS - make sure all safety pins are installed in ejector racks prior to performing any maintenance. To
disregard this warning can cause serious injury, death, or an aborted mission.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING OF THE HELICOPTER - army regulations require the grounding of the helicopter when
doing all fueling and defueling operations. Do not operate helicopter electrical switches, except those essential for servic-
ing during fueling and defueling. Do not smoke or use flame during fueling and defueling operations.
HIGH VOLTAGE - there are dangerous voltages in the helicopter. Use extreme care when working with equipment hav-
ing these voltages.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS - there are dangerous high hydraulic system pressures in the helicopter. Use extreme care
when working on systems having this pressure.
USE OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER - when fire extinguishers are used in a confined area, ventilate immediately. Serious
injury or death could result if the area is not ventilated or the user does not use a self-contained breathing device.
MAIN ROTOR PYLON SLIDING COVER - when opening and closing main pylon sliding cover, keep hands away
from sharp edges near track, mating end, and especially ventilation blower inlet hole.
TECHNICAL ACETONE - technical Acetone is flammable and toxic to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Wear protective
gloves and goggles/face shield. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact. Use only in well-ventilated areas (or use approved
respirator). Keep away from open flames, sparks, hot surfaces or other sources of ignition.
ALKALINE AQUEOUS CLEANER - alkaline cleaner is harmful to skin and eyes. Use adequate ventilation. Operators
should wear protective gloves, aprons, and goggles. Upon contact with cleaning compound, wash affected area for at least
20 minutes with clean water. Seek medical attention.
CLEANING COMPOUND SOLVENT - cleaning Compound Solvent is combustible and toxic to eyes, skin, and respira-
tory tract. Wear protective gloves and goggles/face shield. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact. Use only in well-
ventilated areas (or use approved respirator). Keep away from open flames or other sources of ignition.
ELECTRON - use electron in well ventilated area only. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors. Avoid bodily contact. The
use of chemical gloves and chemical splash goggles are required. Do not use near heat, spark or flame. This solvent is
reactive with acids and oxidizers; do not mix or cross-apply with other chemicals. Organic vapor respirator with dust and
mist filter is recommended when solvent is spray applied. Keep containers closed between applications.
a
TM 1-1520-237-1
Provide mechanical ventilation if used in confined spaces. Coordinate the use of this material with your supporting
industrial hygiene and safety offices. Ensure you read and understand the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for electron
prior to use.
ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL - isopropyl alcohol is a volatile and flammable liquid which must be kept away from flame
and other ignition sources. It must be used only in well ventilated area. Personnel must wear protective gloves and eye
protection. Excessive inhalation of vapors or contact with skin must be avoided. If contact occurs with eyes or skin, flush
area thoroughly with water. If ingestion occurs, induce vomiting and call a doctor. Remove to fresh air if overexposed to
vapor.
DS-108 - use in well ventilated area. Avoid breathing vapors. Organic vapor respirator with dust and mist filter is recom-
mended. May be harmful by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption. Avoid bodily contact. Chemical safety glasses/
goggles and chemical resistant gloves are required. Combustible, keep away from heat, spark, or flame. Vapors are
heavier than air and may travel over a distance to an ignition source and then flash back. Do not mix or cross apply with
other chemicals.
LOCKWIRE - in critical applications use lockwire instead of safety cable which is specifically prohibited from use in
critical applications. The use of safety cable is restricted in these specific applications with a warning.
PURPOSE OF A WARNING - alerts personal to operation, procedure, practice, etc., which if not strictly observed,
could result in personal injury or loss of life.
CAUTION
USING BATTERY POWER DURING MAINTENANCE - use battery power as little as possible when maintaining the
helicopter. If the battery charge gets too low the APU will not start when only the battery electrical power is available. To
prevent running down the battery:
Make sure BATT switch is ON when ac power (either external power applied, or APU or main generator operating) is
supplied to the helicopter. This allows the battery to charge if necessary.
Make sure BATT switch is OFF when ac power is not applied to the helicopter and the battery is not being used.
If a BATT LOW CHARGE caution indication is obtained while using battery power, immediately set BATT switch to
OFF.
COLD WEATHER - BATTERY MAINTENANCE - to prevent damage to the battery, refer to TM 11-6140-203-23.
ROTOR SYSTEM - Do not operate the rotor system while the main rotor pylon sliding cover is in the open position.
Main rotor blades could contact the main rotor pylon sliding cover. If rotor system operation is required when the main
rotor pylon sliding cover is open, remove main rotor pylon sliding cover.
ROTOR SERVO PISTON RODS - Damage to main rotor servo piston rods seal will occur if piston rods come in
contact with contaminates during maintenance procedures. Contaminated main rotor servo piston rods will cause seal
damage during use causing excessive leakage past seals. Cover up main rotor servos prior to maintenance work to keep
area clean.
SAFETY CABLE - extreme caution should be exercised when using safety cable on or around movable aircraft flight
controls components. It is critical that the ferrule does not interfere with or wear against any movable flight control
component.
PURPOSE OF A CAUTION - alerts personnel to operation, procedure, practice, etc., which, if not strictly observed,
could result in damage to or destruction of equipment.

INTRODUCTION
NOTE
In case of conflict with other technical documentation, this manual has precedence.
This manual is one of a set of 18 separate chapters that cover maintenance, inspection, and troubleshooting instructions
for the models UH-60A, UH-60L, EH-60A, UH-60Q, and HH-60L helicopters. The helicopters are manufactured by
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, 6900 Main Street, Post Office Box 9729, Stratford, Connecticut 06615-9129. The other 4
manuals are:
The following manuals are managed by CECOM. These manuals contain maintenance inspection and troubleshooting data
for Aviation Unit Maintenance (AVUM) and Aviation Intermediate Maintenance (AVIM) support levels. They do not have
depot level maintenance instructions.

This Aviation Unit and Intermediate Maintenance Manual includes the purpose, function, physical characteristics, location,
access, and theory of operation, servicing, information for the maintenance specialist to do specific maintenance tasks, and
wire data information for all helicopter systems and major components. This manual is arranged in the same general se-
quence as the Maintenance Allocation Chart. Refer to Army Requlations and Operator’s Manual for personnel require-
ments and procedures for ground run and flight checking the helicopter.
Description of Chapter 1
Chapter 1 contains general information, equipment description and data, and theory of operation related to the system’s
components. Simplified block diagrams are used in describing some electrical, hydraulic, and fuel systems.
Description of Chapters 2 through 4
Chapters 2 through 4 contains data to troubleshoot the helicopter’s mechanical, fuel, pneudraulic, flight instrument, and
electrical systems. There are two major breakdowns of these work packages, operational/troubleshooting procedures and
fault isolation procedures. Schematic diagrams are included for point-to-point troubleshooting. Location diagram illustra-
tions are also provided. The wiring data is also useful for troubleshooting (, WP 1725 00 through , WP 1767 00). If a
wire number is known and the connectors are not, refer to the WIRE DATA LIST BY WIRE NUMBER sections. If the
connector number is known and the wire number is not, refer to WIRE DATA LIST BY REFERENCE DESIGNATOR
sections. For further information on proper usage of the wiring data list, refer to the General Information (, WP 1725 00).

TM 1-1520-237-23-1
Operational/troubleshooting procedures contain step-by-step instructions to isolate a reported discrepancy or ensure the
system is fully functional. These procedures may be subdivided into smaller procedures which focus on specific functions
of the system. Operational checks reduce maintenance time by providing simultaneous troubleshooting, eliminating
circuitry which could cause a reported discrepancy. The procedures direct the user to a specific fault isolation procedure
or describe corrective action when the discrepancy is confirmed. Fault isolation procedures provide additional
troubleshooting which will correct most reported discrepancies. Fault isolation procedures do not stand alone in their
troubleshooting approach. The operational/troubleshooting procedures must be performed before using the fault isolation
procedures.
Description of Chapters 5 through 17
Chapters 5 through 17 contains on aircraft inspections including detailed inspections as specified by the daily inspection
and 40 hour inspection checklist, AVUM maintenance and repair procedures, AVIM maintenance and repair procedures,
structural repair information such as paint touch up, metal structure repair limits, water integrity sealing, extrusion charts,
and composite structure repair, and wire data lists.
Description of Chapter 18
Chapter 18 contains reference material, Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC), expendable and durable items list, and lo-

AIRCRAFT GENERAL
AIRCRAFT DESCRIPTION
Helicopters are twin turboshaft engine aircraft (Figure 1, Sheet 1 and Figure 1, Sheet 2). Their primary mission is the
transportation of troops, litter patients, and equipment. UH60A EH60A UH60Q Helicopters are powered by two T700-GE-
700 engines, mounted above the mid-fuselage. UH60L HH-60L Helicopters are powered by two T700-GE-701C
engines, mounted above the mid-fuselage. The main rotor group consists of a four bladed, fully articulated, elastomeric
rotor. The tail rotor group consists of a canted crossbeam tail rotor with two continuous composite spars running from
blade tip to blade tip, crossing each other at the hub to form the four tail rotor blades. Forward, rear, lateral, and vertical
flight is done by the main rotor system, while the tail rotor system counteracts torque from the main rotor and provides
directional control. Power to drive the main rotor is supplied from engine torque transmitted by drive shafting to the input
module of the main transmission. The tail rotor is driven by drive shafting extending from the main module of the main
transmission through the intermediate gear box to the tail gear box. Three separate hydraulic systems are used in the
helicopter. The No. 1 and No. 2 hydraulic systems provide power for the main rotor servos and the pilot-assist servos.
The No. 3 or backup hydraulic system provides backup power for the No. 1 and No. 2 hydraulic systems and recharges
the APU start subsystem. The backup hydraulic system also provides power for ground checks without operation of the
main transmission. Basic electrical power is supplied by two ac generators mounted on the accessory module. Ac power
is converted to dc power for operation of certain systems.
EH60A Helicopter similar to the UH60A described except its primary mission is electronic surveillance of selected
targets using sophisticated intercept and direction-finding (DF) equipment, the AN/ALQ-151(V)2 system (TM 32-5865-
012-10). In addition to a pilot and copilot, the crew includes an electronic countermeasures (ECM) equipment operator
and a DF equipment operator. The mission equipment, AN/ALQ-151(V)2, and its operators are housed in the aircraft
cabin replacing troop seats or other mission flexibility kits. An Environmental Control System (ECS) replaces the standard
heater/ventilator system. Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) includes Hover Infrared Suppression System (HIRSS).
UH-60Q HH-60L Helicopter similar to the UH60A described except its primary mission is MEDEVAC. Secondary mis-
sions include transport of medical teams, deliver medical supplies, and provide support for combat search and rescue mis-
sions. Kit installations for helicopter consist of range extension tanks, rescue hoist, medical evacuation, infrared suppres-
sion, blade anti-icing, and blackout devices. The medical interior contains space for seating of three medical attendants,
two independent medical stations are designed to transport three littered patients or three ambulatory (seated) patients or
crew members. Litter platforms can also be moved up, out of way to transport cargo. Restraint of cargo is by tiedown
rings installed on floor. A medical cabinet provides storage for carry on equipment. Provisions for securing carry on medi-
cal equipment and supporting intravenous fluid bags are mounted through out cabin.
EMEP Electrical wiring and components are hardened for electromagnetic environment protection (EME) for eliminating
abnormal responses to external electromagnetic radiation. Electrical wiring for selected systems and components of EME
helicopters are equipped with pin filtered adapters, connectors, and receptacles where necessary. Components susceptible
to electromagnetic radiation are internally modified with filters and gaskets. The instrument panel and other mounting
surfaces for EME components are metal with a chemical conversion coating conforming to MIL-C-5541, Class 3, or use
bonding straps to provide low resistance to airframe ground. The following list identifies those components having pin
filtered adapters and pin filtered connectors:

UNIT LEVEL
AIRFRAME
This section contains descriptions of the airframe and associated equipment. The helicopter airframe is divided into six
sections (Figure 1):
1. Cockpit (Nose Section)
2. Cabin
3. Transition Section
4. Tail Cone
The primary structure is aluminum alloy. Some titanium and steel are used for firewalls and various fittings. Nonstructural
members are primarily made of reinforced plastic. The fuselage is semi-monocoque construction with horizontal anti-
plough beams extending through the tub from the cockpit to the transition section. Structural arrangement of each section
of the helicopter is shown in Figure 1 through Figure 7.
COCKPIT
The cockpit, consisting of an avionics compartment, accommodates the pilot and copilot and associated systems
components. The cockpit is entered through hinged jettisonable cockpit doors on each side of the nose canopy. The avion-
ics compartment is entered through a hinged nose door (Figures 1 and 8).
Nose Door
A reinforced plastic avionics compartment nose door, on the nose section, opens to the front nose section interior systems
and components (Figure 8). The door, which is hinged at the top, is opened by pulling out the two latches on the bottom,
disengaging latch mechanisms from lockpins. The door is held in the open position by a support strut. A watertight seal is
installed on the door.
Windshield and Windows
The cockpit windshield and windows consist of left and right upper windows, left and right lower windows, pilot and
copilot outboard windshields, and a center windshield (Figure 8). The pilot and copilot shatter-resistant windshields are
made of electropane panels containing braid lead-in and resistance wiring, used for anti-icing purposes. HCW The center
windshield is equipped with anti-ice heater elements. All other windows and center windshield are made of stretched
Plexiglass. Foam seal tape, installed between all mating surfaces, has the addition of sealant for watertightness.
Cockpit Doors
Cockpit doors, on each side of the cockpit for the pilot and copilot, are hinged at the front edge (Figure 8). Each door
contains either a fixed, slide-open, or jettisonable window made of stretched Plexiglass. A single-action release mechanism
in each door allows the door to be jettisoned in an emergency. A watertight seal is installed on each door.
Pilot’s and Copilot’s Seats
These seats are in the cockpit and are interchangeable with each other. Individual seats, however, are made by different
vendors and differ in construction and operational details (Figures 9 and 10). Each seat has a vertical height adjustment
and a horizontal seat adjustment. Two tracks on the cockpit floor allow the seat to slide to front or rear. The seat can be

locked into position at 1/2-inch spaces. Pilot or copilot restraint is by a shoulder harness, lap belt, and crotch strap. A
shoulder harness inertia reel is on the rear center of each seat. The reel allows about 12 to 18 inches of travel. It
automatically locks when subjected to a sudden force. Each seat has a rear tilt feature which allows the seat to be disen-
gaged from its tracks and tilted back into the troop compartment. This is done by pulling the emergency vertical release
handle (Figure 9) to the right, or by pushing down on the foot operated vertical release pedal (Figure 10). This will al-
low the seat to drop to its lowest position. On seat shown in Figure 9, the tilt back release handles must be pushed in
toward center. On seat shown in Figure 10, the handles must be pushed outboard. Seats must be in their lowest position
prior to tilting. Do not operate emergency vertical release mechanisms unless seat is occupied.
Miscellaneous Furnishings
These consist of two portable fire extinguishers, three first aid kits, two ashtrays, and a map data case (Figure 11 and
Figure 12).

adjacent to the observer’s seat. The mission interface panel provides power and signal connections between aircraft
systems and mission equipment. The cabin is entered through aft-sliding cabin doors on each side of the helicopter
(Figure 13).
Troop/Cargo Doors
These rear sliding doors, on each side of the helicopter cabin, open to the troop/cargo compartment (Figure 13). Each
door has two Plexiglass windows. A single-action release mechanism incorporated in each door allows both windows to
be jettisoned in an emergency.
Cabin Floors
There are three removal panels in the midsection of the floor (Figure 14). They are made of fiberglass bottom skin,
honeycomb core, and a reinforced plastic (fiberglass) top skin covering. It also has 27 multipurpose fittings for cargo
tiedown, troop/litter installations. The cargo hook is reached through the cargo hook access panel in the floor. Floor panel
installation is not required for towing, jacking, tiedown, or mooring. In flight or transport, the floor panels are not
required provided that no unrestrained equipment is stored in the cabin area which would normally be secured to the
floor. Sidewall interior panels that secure to the floor will require another method of retention or removal during flight or
transport operations. Flight or transport of the helicopter is not allowed with personnel or equipment in the cabin without
the floor panels installed.
Two front sliding Plexiglass windows on each side of the helicopter, rear of the cockpit and front of the troop/cargo
doors, provide a split hatch covering over each gunner station opening. When opened fully, the windows allow the crew

The tail cone has two covers on the top exterior. They are made of Kevlar and can be opened to reach the tail drive
shafts. Each cover is piano hinged at the right edge. Five quick-release fasteners on the left edge secure the cover closed
(Figure 18).
The tail pylon is a foldable section at the rear end of the helicopter. The tail pylon is supported by and hinged to the tail
cone section. The pylon supports the stabilizers, the intermediate and tail gear boxes and connecting drive shaft, the tail
rotor assembly, and part of the flight controls. When the stabilator is removed, the tail pylon can be folded along the right
side of the tail cone. Removable fairings on the pylon open to the intermediate and tail gear boxes, tail drive shafts, and
tail rotor flight controls (Figure 19).
This cover, on the pylon leading edge, opens to the tail drive shafts. The cover consists of nonmetallic honeycomb core
sandwiched between reinforced plastic skins, four hinges, and nine quick-release fasteners. The cover is removed from the
pylon by separating the hinge-halves (Figure 19). The drive shaft cover also serves as a VHF/FM antenna.
Stabilator
A controllable stabilator is on the tail pylon (Figure 19). The stabilator provides longitudinal stability in forward flight.
During hover and low speed forward flight, the stabilator swings down to eliminate nose up attitudes caused by tail rotor
down wash hitting the flat stabilator surface. For a complete description of the stabilator control system, refer to
TM 11-1520-237-23.

The position transmitter/limit switch assembly provides a signal to the stabilator indicators that visually indicates the sta-
bilator position relative to the centerline of the helicopter. The switch assembly also limits stabilator 11-1520-237-23
movement to 8° up and 40° down. The position transmitter, which provides the signal to the stabilator indicators, requires
26 vac excitation. Four limit switches, two up-limit and two down-limit, limit stabilator movement. The limit switches
require 28 vdc operating power (Figure 20).
The main rotor pylon attached to the upper cabin and rear fuselage is a protective aerodynamic covering that also gives
smooth airflow induction for cooling aircraft major subsystem components. Hinged fiber glass/honeycomb-sandwiched
panels and covers open to the internal pylon areas and helicopter component subsystems (Figure 21).

LANDING GEAR
The landing gear system consists of two fixed main landing gears, one mounted on each side of the helicopter fuselage
midsection, a tail landing gear mounted on lower rear section of tail cone, a wheel and self adjusting brake assembly on
each main landing gear, and the landing gear brake system. The landing gear system enables the helicopter to maneuver
during ground operations, absorbs landing loads, and insulates the airframe and occupants from shock (Figure 1, Sheet 1
Detail A).
A fixed main landing gear, mounted rear of the crew chief/gunner’s window on each side of the helicopter fuselage mid-
section, supports the helicopter while it is on the ground (Figure 1 Detail A). Each main landing gear consists of a shock
strut assembly, drag beam and axle assembly, wheel and tire, and hydraulic brake. The shock strut supports the helicopter
during ground operations and absorbs impact loads when landing. It consists of two floating pistons, one in the upper
cylinder and one in the lower cylinder, which separate nitrogen from hydraulic fluid, and a servicing valve for each float-
ing piston cylinder. The lower cylinder absorbs the normal landing loads. During a hard landing (rate of descent above
600 feet per minute), the upper and lower cylinders work together to absorb the shock, preventing damage to the
helicopter. The drag beam and axle is a cylinder attached to the airframe at one end and to the shock strut at the other,
which transmits landing loads to the airframe and shock strut, and to which the wheel is attached. Each wheel consists of
a 26 x 10.0-11 tubeless tire, a two section wheel rim, bearings, and self-adjusting disc-type brake assembly.
BRAKE SYSTEM
This system consists of two brake controls on each pilot’s and copilot’s directional control pedals, four master cylinders,
two slave mixer valves, a parking brake handle, and two wheel brakes (Figure 2). When the pilot’s or copilot’s brake
pedals are pressed, hydraulic pressure builds up in the master cylinder attached to the pedal. The pressurized hydraulic
fluid flows from the master cylinder through the slave mixer valves and the parking brake valve below the cockpit floor,
to each brake at each main landing gear wheel.
The parking brake valve is actuated by a parking brake tee handle on the pilot’s side of center console. The valve then
traps fluid pressure to the brakes and closes a microswitch, lighting the PARKING BRAKE ON advisory light on the
caution/advisory panel. Pressing the brake pedals produces pressure in the master cylinder to actuate the parking brake
valve release mechanism and release the parking brake. Thermal compensation is provided in the parking brake valve
when the brakes are at PARK, and in the master cylinders when the brakes are OFF.
Wheel Brakes
Both main wheels have a self-adjusting, double disc, three-cavity brake assembly, which includes a visual brake lining
wear indicator (Figure 3). The brake consists of two steel rotating discs, brake linings, and a housing that contains the
pistons. The discs are key-slotted to engage the drive keys of the main wheel. The disc turns through the throat between
the brake housing. Brake linings are fitted into recesses in the housing and pistons. The pistons produce braking action by
clamping the discs between the brake linings.
The slave mixer valve isolates the pilot and copilot brake line circuits from each other. The valve contains a piston and
spring-loaded pin. A bleed plug on the valve allows air to be bled from the brake lines.

There are four identical master brake cylinders. Each consists of a cylinder containing a large capacity reservoir. There
are also two pistons operating manually in series and in two separate stages. Reservoir and pistons function from the
same fluid connection in either flow direction. The first stage operating pressure is 75 psi. The second stage operating
pressure is 800 psi. Maximum operating pressure is 1020 psi.
A fixed tail landing gear, secured to structural attachment fittings in the rear tail cone structure, provides rear support of
the helicopter (Figure 1, Sheet 1, Detail B). The tail landing gear consists of shock strut, fork assembly, tailwheel lock
and actuator, yoke assembly, and wheel and tire. The shock strut supports the helicopter rear structure during ground
operations and cushions impact loads when landing. The shock strut is a two-stage air-oil type with two floating pistons
separating air from hydraulic fluid, with a servicing valve for each stage. The fork assembly, secured to the yoke as-
sembly, is the attachment point for the tailwheel and allows the wheel to swivel through 360° for ground control. The
wheel lock and electrically operated actuator, secured to the yoke assembly, secures the tailwheel in the trailing position
when the helicopter is parked or in flight. Two tailwheel lock switches are installed near the tailwheel lockpin. When the
pin is locked or unlocked, one of the switches is actuated, giving a cockpit indication as to position of pin. The unlock
switch is relocated above the lock switch. The yoke assembly, attached to the tail cone structure and the shock strut,
transmits landing loads to the helicopter airframe and shock strut. The wheel, installed in the fork assembly, consists of a
15 x 6.00-6 tube type tire, a 600-6 tube, and a two piece wheel rim and bearings.

POWERPLANT SYSTEM
The powerplant system consists of two demountable power packages containing the engines, the engine control system,
engine starting system, engine anti-ice system, engine overspeed protection system, engine speed trim system, and indicat-
ing systems.
Two demountable power packages are installed, one on each side of the main transmission. Each power package consists
of an engine, a pneumatic (air) starter, drive shaft assembly, fuel and lubrication lines, and a wiring harness. A drive shaft
assembly and forward support tube connect the engine to the input gear box module of the main transmission. A power
turbine shaft extending through the engine drives the input gear box module. Each power package allows a quick change
of engines with all components installed, for ease of maintenance and handling. The demountable power packages, less
starters, may be ordered already built up as quick engine change kits, or assembled and disassembled on a buildup stand.
The demountable power packages are then installed or removed as complete units (Figure 1).

LOAD-DEMAND SYSTEM
The load-demand system supplies a collective pitch signal to the load-demand spindle on the engine hydromechanical fuel
control through a push-pull control. The load-demand spindle automatically adjusts the engine gas generator (Ng) speed to
a level about equal to the rotor load, thereby reducing transient droop (Figure 1).
UH60L HH-60L The T700-GE-701C engine provides additional transient droop improvement within the digital electronic
control (DEC). A load demand signal from a potentiometer in the collective mixer and rotor speed signal from a magnetic
pickup in the input module are both fed to the engine DEC where they are processed to provide better anticipation of
load demand, thereby reducing transient rotor droop.
The power control system for each engine operates through a engine power control levers on the control quadrant. These
levers permit starting and start-aborting. Each lever has four positions OFF, IDLE, FLY and LOCKOUT. The power
control lever is connected through a push-pull control to the power-available spindle on the engine fuel control. The
spindle can either mechanically stopcock fuel or set permissible gas generator (Ng) speeds for operating between IDLE
and FLY. Movement of the power control lever to LOCKOUT mechanically locks out the electrical control unit (ECU) or
DEC input into the hydromechanical unit and gives manual control over gas generator (Ng) speed, using the power
control lever as a throttle.
The engine speed control system operates through a motor-driven potentiometer system and the ECU or DEC. When the
ENG RPM switch on EH-60A UH-60A UH-60L the collective stick or UH-60Q HH-60L upper console is moved
to INC or DECR, an electrical signal goes through a potentiometer to the ECU or DEC on the engine. This signal, in
turn, electrically adjusts the HMU on each engine increasing or decreasing engine power turbine speed Np (% RPM 1 or
2) and thereby increasing main rotor speed Nr (% RPM RTR) to between 96% and 100%.
UH60L HH-60L A Nr sensor is added to the left accessory module. The Nr sensor senses main rotor RPM. This signal is
sent to both engine’s DECs, for engine speed control, and to both SDCs, for instrument displays.
The controls quadrant, centered on the upper console, permits either the pilot or copilot to select engine speed, stopcock
fuel, start engine, abort start, and control engine fire extinguisher. Four normally open switches mounted in the quadrant
actuate as levers are moved or the start button is pressed. Two lamps are in each fire extinguishing T-handle. The ENG
POWER CONT lever positions are marked NUMBER 1 ENGINE and NUMBER 2 ENGINE, and identify the OFF,
IDLE, FLY and LOCKOUT positions. They are connected mechanically to each engine’s HMU and are used to govern
engine speeds. The HMU starts to open whenever the power control level is advanced more than 2° from OFF and
increases proportionately with engine speed to FLY. The engine start switch button is in the power control lever handle.
The starter and starter override switches are actuated when the start button is pressed. The abort switch, mounted on the
power control lever, is opened when the lever is pulled straight down. Each power control lever also includes a secondary
stop, which prevents the inadvertent stop-cock of the engine when retarding the levers. The fire extinguishing arming
switch is actuated when the fire extinguishing T-handle is pulled to the armed position. Lamps in the fire extinguishing
T-handle go on when a fire is detected in the No. 1 or No. 2 engines. The fuel selector levers marked NO 1 ENG FUEL
SYS and NO 2 ENG FUEL SYS allow pilot or copilot to select OFF, DIR (direct), or XFD (crossfeed) position for

ENGINE SYSTEM
The engine start and ignition system contains an electrically controlled pneumatic start system and an electrical
capacitive-discharge ignition system. The pneumatics uses compressed air ducted to air turbine starters for engine starting.
Compressed air is obtained either from: (1) the APU, (2) engine crossbleed, or (3) an external air supply. The APU has a
check valve to control APU bleed-air flow to the starter of either engine. The engine crossbleed has a bleed-air manifold
and a combination crossbleed shutoff and check valve for each engine to permit starting the opposite engine. The external
air source supplies air through a combination external connector and check valve to either engine. Electrical power for the
No. 1 engine start system is obtained from the dc essential bus circuit breaker panel. Electrical power for the No. 2
engine start system is obtained from the No. 2 dc primary bus through the No. 2 ENG START CONTR circuit breaker on
the pilot’s circuit breaker panel. An ENGINE IGNITION switch, marked ON and OFF, is at the center of the main instru-
ment panel. When it is ON, and when an engine start button is pressed, the capacitor discharge engine ignition system
operates. The ignition system is a noncontinuous ac powered, low-voltage system. Ignition is automatically shut off when
Ng reaches 52% to 65%. The system consists of an ignition exciter, two igniter plugs, ignition leads, switches, and relays.
Electrical power for the ignition system is obtained from the engine-mounted alternator.
ENGINE STARTING
APU. The APU is started, and the AIR SOURCE HEAT/START switch on the upper console is placed to APU. When the
starter switch is pressed, the start control valve is opened and its relay is energized. Activation of the start control valve
relay also opens the engine prime shutoff valve, closes the APU start bypass valve, and lights the ENGINE STARTER
capsule. Opening the start control valve releases compressed air from the APU to the engine start motor. The engine fuel
system is primed when the prime shutoff valve is opened. As engine speed increases, the speed sensor pickup produces a
signal that activates the starter speed switch, holding the engine start relay in the energized position. When the engine
reaches 52% to 65% Ng, the starter speed switch deactivates, closing the engine start control valve, which then closes the
prime shutoff valve and turns off the ENGINE STARTER LIGHT capsule.
ENGINE CROSSBLEED. (ONE ENGINE OPERATING). When the AIR SOURCE HEAT/START switch on upper
console is placed to ENG, the engine crossbleed valve of the engine operating opens. The crossbleed valve of the engine
not operating stays closed to prevent bleed-air from entering and turning the engine compressor in the opposite direction
of start. With the ENG POWER CONT lever of the stopped engine at OFF, and the start button on that engine pressed,
the start control valve of the engine being started opens. This releases between 27 and 31 psig bleed-air to the engine
starter of the stopped engine. Activation of the start control valve opens the engine prime shutoff valve, priming the
engine. The ENGINE STARTER capsule on the caution/advisory panel also goes on. As the engine accelerates to between
52% and 65% Ng, the start control valve closes, cutting off bleed-air to the starter. At this point ignition stops, the bleed-
air shutoff valve opens, and the ENGINE STARTER capsule goes off. When the start control valve closes, the prime
boost pump motor is turned off, the PRIME BOOST PUMP ON light on the caution/advisory panel goes off, and the
engine prime shutoff valve closes. Placing the AIR SOURCE HEAT/START switch OFF closes both bleed-air shutoff
valves.
EXTERNAL AIR SUPPLY. With the AIR SOURCE HEAT/START switch on the upper console OFF, and an external air
supply connected to the helicopter, the engine start and ignition system operates the same as when starting using the APU.
Pressing the starter switch will also automatically turn on the prime boost pump motor, light the PRIME BOOST PUMP
ON capsule on the caution/advisory panel, and open the prime shutoff valve on that engine. When the engine starter
speed switch stops the ignition sequence, it also closes the prime shutoff valve, turns off the prime boost pump motor, and
the PRIME BOOST PUMP ON capsule. Automatic fuel prime to engine will happen no matter what position APU
BOOST/FUEL PRIME switch is in.

ENGINE SYSTEM
EH-60A UH-60A UH-60L The engine speed trim system consists of two speed trim switches, a pair of potentiometers,
and a dc electric motor. The engine speed trim switches on each collective stick grip are used to increase or decrease
engine power turbine speed Np (% RPM 1 and 2), thereby increasing main rotor speed Nr (% RPM RTR) to between
96% and 100%. The switches are spring loaded to the center position and marked ENG RPM, with positions INC and
DECR. Electrical power for the system is obtained for the No. 2 dc primary bus through the SPEED TRIM circuit
breaker on the pilot’s circuit breaker panel. The speed trim switches supply power to the dc motor through a gear to two
potentiometers (one for each engine). These transmit a signal to each engine’s electrical control unit (ECU) or digital
electronic control (DEC) that automatically increases or decreases each engine’s Np equally and simultaneously. The pilot
can override copilot authority any time (Figure 1). UH-60Q HH-60L The engine speed trim system consists of one
speed trim switch, a pair of potentiometers, and a dc electric motor. The engine speed trim switch, on the upper console,
is used to increase or decrease engine power turbine speed Np (% RPM 1 and 2), thereby increasing main rotor speed Nr
(% RPM RTR) to between 96% and 100%. The switch is marked ENG RPM, with positions INC and DECR. Electrical
power for the system is obtained for the No. 2 dc primary bus through the SPEED TRIM circuit breaker on the pilot’s
circuit breaker panel. The speed trim switch supplies power to the dc motor through a gear to two potentiometers (one for
each engine). These transmit a signal to each engine’s ECU or DEC that automatically increases or decreases each
engine’s Np equally and simultaneously (Figure 1).
The engine overspeed protection system prevents destructive overspeed of the power turbine. The system is controlled by
the engine-mounted ECU or DEC. Two identical electrical pickups mounted on the turbine section of the engine sense
power turbine speed and torque. One pickup senses basic power turbine speed control and cockpit speed indication. The
other pickup senses power turbine torque and provides a speed signal to the Np overspeed limiter in the ECU or DEC.
When the Np overspeed limiter senses an overspeed signal, the overspeed solenoid in the sequence valve is activated,
thereby cutting back on fuel flow. UH60L HH-60L The system is set to operate at 120% Np (% RPM 1 or 2) and result
in a fuel flow shutoff, by the overspeed protection relay, causing engine flameout. When % RPM is reduced, fuel flow is
returned to the engine and engine ignition will remain on for an additional 5 seconds to allow for engine restart. The
overspeed protection system is also used as a hot start prevention system. The DEC senses the hot start condition and
sends a signal to the engine overspeed protection relay setting that system in operation. UH60A EH60A UH-60Q The
system is set to operate at 106% Np (% RPM 1 or 2) and will result in an initial reduction and eventual cycling of both
Ng and Np until the cause of the overspeed is removed.
The engine overspeed test buttons on the upper console marked TEST A and TEST B, under the headings NO. 1 ENG
OVSP and NO. 2 ENG OVSP, permit checkout of overspeed circuits to verify correct operation. The overspeed checkout
system permits circuits A and B to be checked, thereby avoiding in-flight overspeed signals. UH60L HH-60L The over-
speed test buttons, when pressed individually, also suppress/redisplay DEC diagnostic codes on the PDU, and override the
automatic hot start prevention system.
The engines are at 100% Np. When test switch B is actuated, and if test circuit A is working correctly, no change in
either Np or Ng will result. Similarly with test circuit B. UH60L HH-60L When both switches A and B are closed
simultaneously, an overspeed condition is sensed by the DEC and a signal is sent to the engine overspeed relays causing a
shutoff of fuel flow to the engine. When the switches are released, the engine will restart and climb back to 100% Np
(Figure 2, Sheet 1). UH60A EH60A UH-60Q When both switches A and B are closed simultaneously, the overspeed

reference signal is reduced from the normal 106% Np to 100% Np. Since the engine has been set at 100% Np, the result
is an overspeed signal to the overspeed solenoid in the sequence valve. The engine will then experience Np and Ng
cycling with 2% Np and 1% Ng variations. Power for the engine overspeed protection system is normally supplied by the
engine alternator. Redundant power for the No. 1 engine overspeed protection system is supplied by the No. 1 primary ac
bus through the NO. 1 ENG OVSP circuit breaker on the copilot’s circuit breaker panel. Redundant power for No. 2
engine overspeed protection system is supplied by the No. 2 primary ac bus through the NO. 2 ENG OVSP circuit
breaker on the pilot’s circuit breaker panel (Figure 2, Sheet 2).
UH60L HH-60L A collective stick position sensor is added, located on the mixer assembly. The collective stick sensor
converts collective stick position to a corresponding electrical signal, which is sent to the engine’s DEC for engine speed
trim adjustments (positive droop control).

The hover infrared suppressor system (HIRSS) provides improved helicopter survivability from heat seeking missiles dur-
ing hover and cruise flight. The HIRSS kit contains a three-stage core and inner baffle which reduces exhaust gas radia-
tion and prevent line-of-sight viewing of hot engine surfaces. The HIRSS channels hot exhaust gasses through its three-
stage core and inner baffle by inducing the flow of cooling air from the engine bay and inlet scoop. The three-stage core
and inner baffle cold surfaces are coated with low-reflectance material. Additional cooling is provided by ducting hot
exhaust gasses outboard and then forcing the exhaust gasses downward with downwash from the main rotor. An exhaust
extender is attached to the HIRSS module to reduce fuselage surface temperature in the transition section and to allow
operation of the aircraft with cargo doors open. Installation of each HIRSS module requires removal of standard engine
exhaust modules and cargo door track fairings. HIRSS modules are installed on the basic airframe, with two additional
mounts, and one angle. The rear fairings are installed using existing mounting points and hardware. While operating in a
nonhostile environment, the inner baffle can be removed to enhance engine performance.
UNIT LEVEL
ROTOR SYSTEM
Four main rotor blades are installed on the main rotor head (Figure 1). The main rotor blade has a pressurized titanium
spar, Nomex honeycomb core, fiberglass skin, nickel and titanium abrasion strips, a removable swept-back tip fairing, and
a resistive heating mat used when the blade deice system is activated. A wire mesh is bonded to the surface of the blade,
to protect the blade from lightning. The spar of the main rotor blade is pressurized with nitrogen through a servicing
valve at the inboard end of the blade. A BIM® (Blade Indication Method) pressure indicator visually indicates that the
spar pressure has not dropped below minimum. The nickel and titanium abrasion strips, bonded to the leading edge of the
blade, prevent damage that could occur from erosion. Each blade is statically and dynamically balanced to permit replace-
ment of individual blades. Balance strips painted around the blade locate the hoisting point. A titanium cuff and expand-
able pins attach the blade to the rotor head (Figure 2). With the use of a blade fold set, each blade can be folded manu-
ally.
The BIM® indicator is installed in the back wall of the spar at the root of the blade (Figure 1, Detail A). A color
indicates if the blade becomes unserviceable. The indicator compares a reference pressure built into the indicator with the
pressure in the blade spar. When the pressure in the blade spar is within the required service limits, indicating the blade is
serviceable, three yellow stripes show. If the pressure in the blade spar drops below the minimum permissible service
pressure, the indicator will show three red stripes (Figure 1, Detail B).
The main rotor head transmits the movements of the flight controls to the four main rotor blades (Figures 3 and 4). The
main rotor head turns in a counterclockwise direction. The head is supported by the main rotor shaft extension. The shaft
extension is splined to the main transmission main shaft, which drives the head. The lower pressure plate and cones, in
conjunction with the main shaft nut, secure the shaft extension to the main shaft. The lower pressure plate also provides
attachment for the rotating scissors. The principal components of the main rotor head are the main rotor hub (including
the spindle modules), the droop stops, the bifilar vibration absorber, pitch control rods, dampers, antiflap assemblies and
swashplate.
The hub consists of titanium spindle modules, hydraulic dampers, pitch control rods, antiflapping assemblies, and a
titanium housing (Figure 5). Each blade is hinged through elastomeric bearings (rubber and steel laminates) in the spindle
modules. The elastomeric bearings allow the blades to flap, lead, and lag. The bearing also permits the blade to move
about its axis for pitch changes. The spindle module titanium endplate contains the lugs for blade attachment.
Antiflapping Assemblies
An antiflapping assembly is installed on each of the four main rotor spindle modules, next to the hub (Figures 3 and 5).
These are spring loaded locks that prevent the main rotor blades from flapping when the main rotor head is slowing down
or stopped. When the main rotor is rotating at above 35%, centrifugal force pulls the antiflapping assemblies outward and
holds them in their locked positions to permit flapping and coning of the blades.
Droop Stops
The droop stops, on the spindle module next to the hub, limit droop of the blades when the main rotor head is slowing
down or stopped (Figure 3). When the main rotor head is rotating between 70% to 75% Nr, centrifugal force throws the
droop stops out and permits increased vertical movement of the blade.

Four pitch control rods extend from the rotating swashplate to the blade pitch horn on the spindle (Figure 4). The pitch
control rods transmit all movement of the flight controls from the swashplate to the main rotor blades. Each rod is adjust-
able. Rotation of the rod changes main rotor blade angle 2 minutes per notch. This allows for tracking adjustment.
Dampers
Dampers are installed between each of the main rotor hub and spindle modules to restrain hunting (lead and lag motions)
of the blades during rotation and to absorb rotor head engagement loads (Figure 4). Each damper is filled with hydraulic
fluid. An indicator mounted on the side of the damper monitors hydraulic fluid quantity. When the damper is fully
serviced the indicator will show full gold.

to a smoother ride for the crew and passengers (Figure 4). The bifilar vibration support is a cross-shaped aluminum forg-
ing. A tungsten weight pivots on two points at the end of each arm. The bifilar is bolted to the main rotor hub.
Swashplate
The swashplate has stationary and rotating discs joined by a bearing (Figure 4). It transmits flight control movement to
the main rotor head through the four pitch control rods. The swashplate is permitted to slide on the main rotor shaft and
tilt in any direction following the motion of the flight controls.

ROTOR SYSTEM
The canted tail rotor head is driven by the tail gear box (Figure 1). A pitch change beam on the pitch control shaft
changes the angle of the tail rotor blades through pitch change links. Because of it’s canted design, the tail rotor provides
about 400 pounds of lift and more clearance for ground personnel.
Pitch Beam
A four-armed pitch beam is bolted to the end of the pitch change shaft. The pitch beam increases or decreases the pitch
of all blades simultaneously through pitch links connected to the blades.
The tail rotor blades are built around two graphite composite spars running from tip-to-tip and crossing each other at the
center to form the four blades (Figure 2). The two spars are interchangeable and may be replaced individually. The blade
spars are covered with crossply fiber glass to form the airfoil shape. Polyurethane and nickel abrasion strips are bonded to
the leading edge of the blades. Blade pitch changes are made by twisting the spar.

DRIVE SYSTEM
TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS
The transmission system carries engine torque to the main rotor and tail rotor (Figure 1). It consists of a main transmis-
sion with oil cooler, intermediate gear box, tail gear box, and drive shafts. The transmission system has oil pressure and
oil temperature indicating systems, hot oil and low oil pressure warning systems, and a chip detector system. The main
transmission drives the main rotor, tail rotor, main transmission oil cooler fan, No. 1 and No. 2 hydraulic pump modules,
and No. 1 and No. 2 generators.
The helicopter’s power to the transmission begins at the front end of the engines. The engine input drive shaft, turning at
20,900 RPM (100% Nr) provides the power to the input module, which then drives the main module and accessory
modules (Figure 2). The input module reduces engine input RPM to 5750 RPM and also allows the drive angle to be
changed from the engine to the main module. The main module then provides reduction for the main rotor head down to
258 RPM and a reduction for the tail drive and oil cooler to 4110 RPM. The intermediate gear box receiving the tail
drive shaft RPM then provides a reduction to 3319 RPM plus changes the angle of drive about 58°. The tail gear box
provides the remaining gear reduction for the tail rotor to 1190 RPM and a 105° change in drive direction. During opera-
tion of the main transmission, the hydraulic pump modules are driven at 7188 RPM and the generators at 11,809 RPM.
MAIN TRANSMISSION
The main transmission is mounted on the main fuselage with a built in 3° forward tilt. It consists of five modules: a main
module, two input modules, and two accessory modules (Figure 3). It mounts and drives the main rotor head, changes the
angle of drive from the engines, reduces engine RPM, and drives the tail rotor drive shaft along with the accessory
modules. Both input modules and both accessory modules are interchangeable with one another and are replaceable
without removing any other major components.
Main Module
The main module is mounted on top to the cabin fuselage. The main module supports and drives the main rotor head. It
also drives the tail rotor system.
Input Module
The two input modules are mounted on the left and right front side of the main module (Figure 3). They connect the
main module to the engines by shafting and gears. Each input module is identical and directly interchangeable. Over run-
ning clutches (free-wheeling units) disengage a nonoperating engine from the transmission, but not the accessory module.
Accessory Module
An accessory module is mounted on the front of each input module (Figure 3). The accessory module drives the electri-
cal generators and hydraulic pump modules. A rotor speed sensor is mounted on the right accessory module and an oil
pressure switch is mounted in the left accessory module. UH60L HH-60L An additional rotor speed sensor is mounted on
the left accessory module. Each basic module is identical and directly interchangeable.
The intermediate gear box is mounted at the base of the pylon (Figure 4 and Figure 5). The intermediate gear box carries
main transmission torque to the tail gear box and changes the angles of the drive about 58°. The intermediate gear box
also reduces tail drive shaft input speed of 4110 RPM to 3319 RPM pylon shaft output speed. The gear box is divided
into three sections, the input housing and gear, the center housing, and the output housing and gear.

The tail gear box, mounted at the top of the pylon, holds the tail rotor head and changes the direction of drive 105°
(Figure 6). The tail gear box is divided into three sections: input housing and gear, center housing, and output housing
and gear. The tail gear box includes an input linkage, bearing, and pitch control shaft, for tail rotor pitch controls. The tail
rotor servo mounts on and in the tail gear box. The tail rotor blade deice slip ring can be installed on the tail gear box
assembly.
GUST LOCK
A manually operated gust lock, at the tail takeoff flange, permits the main rotor and tail rotor to be locked when the
helicopter is parked or stored. The gust lock is operated by pressing the handle release button, in the cabin, and moving

between the handle and lock lever, turns the GUST LOCK light on. The light is on the caution/advisory panel (Figure 7).
The tail rotor drive shaft runs from the tail takeoff flange on the rear of the main transmission, to the intermediate gear
box. It then runs up from the intermediate gear box to the tail gear box (Figure 8). The drive shaft carries engine torque
to the tail rotor and drives the oil cooler blower. The aluminum tail drive shaft is made up of four sections containing
seven shafts. Each shaft is dynamically balanced. The sections are joined together by flexible couplings. The first three
sections of shafting, from the rear of the oil cooler, are directly interchangeable. The rear end of these three shafts are
held by special shock absorbing bearings. After replacement of any or all sections of drive shaft, alignment is not neces-
sary.

DRIVE SYSTEM
The main transmission is a wet sump lubrication system that cools and filters the oil to all the gears and bearings
(Figure 1). The No. 1 and No. 2 generators also receive oil for cooling by way of internal lubrication lines. The oil is
pumped through internally cored oil lines, except for the oil cooler inlet and outlet lines. The main transmission has an oil
capacity of about 7 gallons. A dipstick is used for checking oil quantity. When the oil level reaches the ADD mark the
system is 2 quarts low. The system includes two pressure and scavenge, vane-type lubricating pumps that have pressure
regulating and bypass valves, a two-stage oil filter, an oil cooler and blower, and warning and indicating systems.
Lubrication Pumps
The main transmission lubrication pumps are combination pressure and scavenge vane-type operating in parallel. The
pressure side of the pumps supplies oil at 15 gpm at a pressure between 50-55 psi. UH60L The scavenge side returns oil
at a rate of 14 gpm at a pressure between 50-55 psi to the sump. UH60A EH60A The scavenge side returns oil at a
rate of 7 gpm at a pressure between 50-55 psi to the sump. The pressure side is regulated by an adjustable pressure
regulating valve. As pressure exceeds 55 psi, the bypass valve starts to open and extra oil is bypassed back to the inlet
side of the pump.
The two-stage oil filter , at the right rear section of the sump, protects the lubrication system by removing lubricant
contaminants. Filter elements are paper, throw-away types. Three-micron filter elements are not interchangeable between
the UH60A EH60A UH60L UH60A EH60A UH60L UH60A EH60A . Also, neither three-micron filter can be installed in
place of the 46-micron filter in the field. UH60L Filter, 70351-38801-101, has two separate elements, a 3-micron first
stage filter element and a 75-micron second stage filter element. When primary filter begins to clog and pressure drops
between 9 and 15 psi, a red button extends 3/16 inch from bottom of filter bowl. It cannot be reset unless filter elements
are replaced. A thermal lockout prevents the indicator from extending when the temperature goes below 125°F to 155°F.
The first stage filter will protect the system up to a differential pressure of 16 to 24 psi. At this point the flow is bypassed
to the second stage filter element, which will protect the system up to 30 to 40 psi differential pressure.
UH60A EH60A Filter, 70351-08134-101, has two separate elements, a 46-micron first stage filter element and a 75-
micron second stage filter element. When primary filter begins to clog and pressure drops between 9 and 15 psi, a red
button extends 3/16 inch from bottom of filter bowl. It cannot be reset unless filter elements are replaced. A thermal
lockout prevents the indicator from extending when the temperature goes below 60°F to 100°F. The first stage filter will
protect the system up to a differential pressure of 16 to 24 psi. At this point the flow is bypassed to the second stage filter
element, which will protect the system up to 30 to 40 psi differential pressure.
UH60A EH60A Main Module (70351-08100-073/074) Filter, 70351-08134-104, has two separate elements, a 3-micron
first stage filter element and a 75-micron second stage filter element. When primary filter begins to clog and pressure
drops between 11 and 15 psi, a red button extends 3/16 inch from bottom of filter bowl. It cannot be reset unless filter
elements are replaced. A thermal lockout prevents the indicator from extending when the temperature goes below 125°F
to 155°F. The first stage filter will protect the system up to a differential pressure of 16 to 24 psi. At this point the flow is
bypassed to the second stage filter element, which will protect the system up to 30 to 40 psi differential pressure.

The oil cooler and fan, in the rear of the main rotor pylon, consists of a radiator, duct, fan and shafting. The fan, driven
by the tail rotor drive shaft, forces air through the radiator. Hot oil from the main module sump is pumped into the radia-
tor. A thermostatic control valve within the radiator allows cold oil (less than 70°C) to bypass the radiator. Also, if the
radiator becomes clogged, the oil will bypass. Oil is routed from the oil cooler to the main module manifold to be divided
between the lubrication jets in the main module and the oil passages to the input modules, accessory modules, and
generators.
Spline wear indicators are installed on the viscous damper at station 531. The viscous damper has a scribed line on the
tail rotor drive shaft which is lined up with an indicator mounted on the viscous damper. On helicopters with oil cooler
fan, 70361-03005-103 through 70361-03005-106, installed, the oil cooler fan has a scribed mark on the fan blade which is
compared to a wear indicator on fan housing. On helicopters with oil cooler fan, 70361-03005-107, installed, spline wear
inspection is not required.

MAIN TRANSMISSION OIL TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE WARNING INDICATING SYSTEM
When the temperature of the oil entering the manifold is over 112° to 121°C the sensor lights the MAIN XMSN OIL
TEMP light in the caution/advisory panel UH-60Q HH-60L MFD/caution/advisory panel (Figure 1). The oil pres-
sure warning system has an oil pressure switch in the left accessory module connected to the MAIN XMSN OIL PRESS
light in the caution/advisory panel UH-60Q HH-60L MFD/caution/advisory panel . When the oil pressure in the left
accessory module falls below 14 psi, the switch turns on the MAIN XMSN OIL PRESS light.
The oil pressure indicating system has an oil pressure sensor and MAIN XMSN OIL PRESS indicator in the central dis-
play unit. The MAIN XMSN OIL PRESS indicator gives main transmission oil pressure in psi. Indicator ranges are
shown in Table 2.

One chip detector, mounted on the sump assembly, constantly monitors lubricating oil for possible metal contamination
(Figure 1). Any metal chips that accumulate within the chip detector gaps close an electrical circuit that lights the CHIP
MAIN MDL SUMP capsule on the caution/advisory panel UH-60Q HH-60L MFD/caution/advisory panel . The chip
detector has a fuzz suppressing feature that prevents minute metal particles (fuzz) from activating the chip capsule by
burning them off. Refer to , WP 0026 00 for information on latching and time-delay circuits.
Two chip detectors, one mounted on each accessory module, constantly monitor lubricating oil for possible metal
contamination (Figure 1). Any metal chips that accumulate within chip detector gaps close an electrical circuit that lights
either CHIP ACCESS MDL - LH or CHIP ACCESS MDL - RH capsule on the caution/advisory panel
UH-60Q HH-60L MFD/caution/advisory panel . Each chip detector has a fuzz suppressing feature that prevents minute
metal particles (fuzz) from activating the chip capsule by burning them off. For information on latching circuits, refer to ,

One chip detector in the gear box monitors possible metal contamination. Any metal chips that accumulate on the chip
detector plug close an electrical circuit and light the CHIP INT XMSN light. The chip detector has a burn-off circuit that
burns off minute metal particles (fuzz) to prevent unnecessary lighting of the caution light. The chip detector also contains
a normally open bimetal temperature switch. When gear box oil temperature reaches 140°C (284°F), the switch closes and
causes the fuzz burn capacitor to discharge. This prevents arcing within the gear box when gear box oil is hot. When the
temperature switch closes, the INT XMSN OIL TEMP light on the caution advisory panel
UH-60Q HH-60L MFD/caution/advisory panel goes on. The magnetic capability of the chip detector is retained. The
chip detector is self-sealing to permit removal for inspection without loss of oil.

burn circuits and master caution reset circuits.
The chip detector with built-in-test (BIT) circuitry is a self-test used to check each chip detector and its wiring. The BIT
feature operates upon the power up of aircraft. The BIT circuitry, inside the pod of each chip detector, simulates fine me-
tal particles, chips, and fuzz, which turns on the appropiate warning capsule on the caution/advisory panel. The appropri-
ate warning capsule on the the caution/advisory panel remains illuminated for approximately 45 to 75 seconds except for
the main module sump warning capsule. The CHIP MAIN MDL SUMP capsule shall go on after a 30-second time delay
and remain on for an additional 30 seconds.

PNEUDRAULIC SYSTEM
The hydraulic systems provide between 3000 to 3100 ± 50 psi of hydraulic pressure to operate the primary servos, tail
rotor servos, pilot assist servos, and APU start motor. There are three hydraulic systems:
The major components of these systems are three hydraulic pump modules, two transfer modules, a utility module, a
pilot-assist module, three primary servos, a tail rotor servo, four pilot-assist servos, an APU accumulator, an APU hand-
pump, and a refill handpump. Most of these components are grouped together on the upperdeck in front of the main
transmission. These servos are connected to the hydraulic modules through manifolds and self-sealing couplings.
The three hydraulic systems have pressure switches which illuminate appropriate capsules on the caution/advisory panel
UH-60Q HH-60L MFD/caution/advisory panel when pressure loss is detected (Figure 1). A leak detection/isolation
feature is built into the hydraulic system using pressure switches on the pump modules, check valves and shutoff valves
in the transfer modules, and electronic logic modules. When a pressure switch senses a pressure loss in a system, the
logic module will shut off the required valve or valves to isolate the leak and turn on the backup pump.
No. 1 Hydraulic System
The No. 1 hydraulic system supplies hydraulic pressure from the No. 1 pump module to the No. 1 transfer module. From
the transfer module, pressure is supplied to the first stage of the primary servos (lateral, forward and aft), and the first
stage of the tail rotor servo.
No. 2 Hydraulic System
The No. 2 system supplies pressure from the No. 2 pump module to the No. 2 transfer module. From the transfer module,
pressure is supplied to the second stage of the primary servos (lateral, forward, and aft) and the pilot-assist module. From
the pilot-assist module, pressure is supplied to the pilot-assist servos (collective boost, yaw boost, yaw SAS actuator, roll
SAS actuator, pitch SAS actuator, pitch/trim). The pitch/trim servo is supplied pressure at a reduced rate of 1000 psi by
means of a pressure regulating valve.
Backup Hydraulic System
The backup hydraulic system supplies hydraulic pressure for ground checks, acts as a backup for first and second stage
hydraulic pressure, supplies pressure to the second stage of the tail rotor servo if first stage pressure is lost, and recharges
the APU accumulator. The BACK-UP HYD PUMP switch on the upper console is marked OFF, ON, and AUTO. During
ground checks (APU running) the switch is at AUTO. If the APU is running and hydraulic pressure is not needed, the
switch is placed OFF. For flight, the switch should be at AUTO. If hydraulic pressure drops below 2000 psi in the first
and/or second stage system, the backup system automatically picks up the load regardless of switch position during flight
or on the ground. After the APU has started, the backup pump recharges the APU accumulator regardless of switch posi-
tion. The BACK-UP PUMP ON capsule on caution/advisory panel UH-60Q HH-60L MFD/caution/advisory panel
goes on any time the pump is running.
The hydraulic pump modules are combination hydraulic pumps and reservoirs (Figure 2). The No. 1, No. 2, and backup
pump modules are identical and interchangeable with each other. The No. 1 pump module is mounted on and driven by
0018 00-1
TM 1-1520-237-23 0018 00
the left accessory transmission module. The No. 2 pump module is mounted on and driven by the right accessory trans-
mission module. The backup pump module is mounted on and driven by an ac electric motor.
The reservoir part of each pump module has a fluid level indicator window marked EMPTY, REFILL, and FULL. The
position of the piston indicator stripe viewed through the sight glass of the pump module compared to the fluid ident and
level indicator plate indicates amount of hydraulic fluid in the pumps reservoir. The pressure relief valve and bleed valve
protect the pump from high pressure in the return system.
The pump has two valves: a high pressure relief valve and a bleed relief valve; two filters: a pressure filter and return
filter. A red indicator button on each filter housing will pop out when differential pressure across the filter reaches 60 to
80 psid. The indicator button can only be reset from inside the filter housing when filter element is replaced. The return
filter has a bypass valve that opens when return pressure reaches between 90 and 110 psid. The pressure filter has no
bypass.
Each pump has three check valves: one at the external ground coupling, one at the pressure side, and one at the return
side.
A low level switch, mounted on top of each pump module, senses reservoir fluid quantity for that system. When the
piston in the pump module reaches the REFILL mark, the piston closes the low level switch which lights the #1, #2, or
BACKUP RSVR LOW caution capsule in the caution/advisory panel UH-60Q HH-60L MFD/caution/advisory panel .
In the 1st and 2nd stage systems activation of the low level switch will also signal the leak detection isolation system of a
leak.
A depressurization valve in the backup pump module allows the motor to get up to rated speed before a load is applied.
When the backup pump motor is turned on, the depressurization valve in the backup pump module destrokes the output
pressure of the pump to 700 psi. This valve is held open by the logic module in the right relay panel for 4 seconds when
either the APU generator or external power is supplying power, or for 1/2 second when the helicopter generators are sup-
plying power. After the pump motor is started, the valve closes, allowing the pump to develop between 3000 and 3100 psi
output pressure.
These switches, on the pilot’s and copilot’s collective stick grips, are marked SVO OFF - 1ST STG and 2ND STG. If
either stage of any primary servo jams or if pressure is lost, that stage may be shut off. The #1 and #2 PRI SERVO
PRESS capsules on the caution/advisory panel UH-60Q HH-60L MFD/caution/advisory panel show which stage has
jammed or lost pressure. The systems are electrically interlocked through the opposite system’s servo pressure switch to
prevent both systems from being shut off at the same time. As an example, when the SERVO switch is placed to 1ST
STG, second stage pressure must be above 2350 psig before the first stage shutoff valve closes, and the #1 PRI SERVO
PRESS capsule goes on. The tail rotor servo is not affected. With the switch in 2ND STG off, only the #2 PRI SERVO
PRESS capsule goes on. The pilot-assist servos are not affected.
The HYD LEAK TEST switch, on the upper console panel, checks out the leak detection isolation feature of the
hydraulic systems (Figure 3, Sheets 1 and 2). Electrical power for the switch comes from the No. 2 SERVO CONTR and
No. 1 SERVO CONTR circuit breakers. When the switch is placed to TEST (with at least one engine operating at IDLE
speed) the first stage tail rotor shutoff valve and the pilot-assist shutoff valves are closed. When the first stage tail rotor
servo shutoff valve closes, the #1 TAIL RTR SERVO caution capsule goes on, causing the backup pump to operate. Then
the second stage tail rotor shutoff valve opens, causing the #2 TAIL RTR SERVO ON advisory capsule to go on. After
the test, the switch is placed to RESET, to set the hydraulic system back to its normal state.

APU ACCUMULATOR
The accumulator supplies between 3000 to 3100 ± 50 psig hydraulic charge to the APU start motor (Figure 4 and
Figure 5). Hydraulic fluid in the accumulator compresses a charge of nitrogen. If the back-up pump fails to recharge the
accumulator, it may be manually charged pumping the APU handpump. The handpump is on the rear cabin ceiling. A tape
indicator assembly on the accumulator shows the percent of the pressure charge in the accumulator. A pressure gage
shows the pressure of the nitrogen precharge. The tape will indicate zero (0) when the hydraulic charge has been released.
However, the pressure gage will indicate the nitrogen precharge pressure which at 70°F shall be 1450 psig.
The hydraulic refill handpump on the upper deck, in front of the No. 2 ac generator, is used to refill the pump module
reservoirs (Figure 2). The refill pump has a total capacity of 1.3 quarts of hydraulic fluid, a replaceable 15-micron filter,

and a selector valve. A bull’s-eye window on the side of the pump shows fluid level. When the fluid level is even with
the line through the window, a 1-quart can of fluid can be added to the pump. The selector valve has four numbered posi-
tions. Port 1 for the No. 1 pump reservoir. Port 2 for the No. 2 pump reservoir. Port 3 for the backup pump reservoir.
Port 4 is plugged and used for the stowed position when not in use. To refill, open can of fluid, using can opener on lid
of pump; pour fluid into reservoir; turn selector valve handle to desired port; hold handle down and crank pump handle.
Continue to crank pump until indicator on reservoir indicates FULL.

TRANSFER MODULES
The No. 1 and No. 2 transfer modules connect hydraulic pressure from the pump modules to the flight control servos.
Each module is an integrated assembly of shutoff valves, pressure switches, check valves, shuttle valves, and restrictor.
This module has a transfer valve, a pressure switch, a first stage primary shutoff valve, a first stage tail rotor shutoff
valve, a restrictor, and check valves. The transfer valve is spring loaded to the open or normal position. If first stage
hydraulic pressure is lost, the valve automatically transfers backup pump pressure to the first stage system. The first stage
primary shutoff valve lets the pilot or copilot, by use of the SERVO switch on the collective sticks, shut off first stage
pressure to the primary servos. The pressure switch lights the #1 HYD PUMP light on the caution/advisory panel
UH-60Q HH-60L MFD/caution/advisory panel when pressure drops to 2000 psi and also sends a signal to a logic
module that pressure is lost in the first stage hydraulic system. The restrictor allows fluid to circulate for cooling under
no-flow conditions. If a fluid leak develops past the transfer module, the check valves prevent fluid loss on the return side
of the transfer module.
UTILITY MODULE
The utility module connects hydraulic pressure from the backup pump to the No. 1 and No. 2 transfer modules, the
second stage of the tail rotor servo, and the APU accumulator. A pressure switch on the module senses the backup pump
operating and turns on the BACK-UP PUMP ON advisory light on the caution/advisory panel
UH-60Q HH-60L MFD/caution/advisory panel . If the flow rate through the module to the APU accumulator goes over
1-1/2 gpm, a velocity fuse shuts off flow.
PRIMARY SERVOS
There are three interchangeable primary servos: the forward servo, aft servo, and lateral servo (Figure 1). The servos
provide a power boost to the main rotor flight controls. They also reduce feedback forces from the main rotor head. Each
servo has two independent stages (first stage and second stage). Each stage has an independent piston, valve housing, and
hydraulic supply. The input linkage is common. The servos are interchangeable. The primary servo manifold connects the
servos to the No. 1 and No. 2 transfer modules. Each stage of the servo has a jam simulation button. When pressed, the
jam simulation button displaces the spool valve sleeve, causing the # 1 or # 2 PRI SERVO PRESS caution light on the
caution/advisory panel UH-60Q HH-60L MFD/caution/advisory panel to go on. Each stage of a primary servo has a
ballistic tolerant feature built in so that if a projectile should damage one stage, that stage will be inoperative, but will not
stop the other stage from operating properly.
The pilot assist servo assemblies reduce pilot work load by providing control boost, stick trimming, stability augmenta-
tion, and control inputs from the AFCS.

The collective boost servo reduces stick and flight control friction (Figure 2). The servo is controlled by a button marked

causes the BOOST SERVO OFF capsule or legend on the caution/advisory panel

The yaw boost servo reduces stick and flight control friction (Figure 3). The yaw boost servo is the same as the collec-
tive boost except for the addition of a SAS actuator, which provides rate damping. The servo is controlled by a button
marked BOOST, on the STABILATOR CONTROLS/AUTO FLIGHT CONTROL panel.

The roll SAS actuator is a dynamic rate stabilization system that gives rate dampening for the helicopter in the roll axis
(Figure 4). When engaged, the helicopter cockpit controls do not move. The actuator is controlled by SAS 1 and 2 but-
tons on the STABILATOR CONTROLS/AUTO FLIGHT CONTROL panel.
The pitch/trim actuator assembly controls the longitudinal axis and the attitude of the helicopter (Figure 5). The actuator
is controlled by the SAS1, SAS2, TRIM and FPS buttons on the STABILATOR CONTROLS/AUTO FLIGHT
CONTROL panel. Trim maintains a position of the cyclic stick in the longitudinal axis.
PILOT-ASSIST MODULE
The pilot-assist module consists of a thermal relief valve, a pressure reducer, a SAS shutoff valve, a boost shutoff valve, a
pitch/trim turn-on valve, a pressure switch, and self-sealing quick-disconnect couplings. The thermal relief valve protects
the module from damage due to thermal expansion of hydraulic fluid kept in the module during storage. The thermal
relief valve has no function when the module is installed on the helicopter. The pressure reducer reduces system hydraulic
pressure from 3000 to 1000 psi for pitch/trim servo operation. It has a relief valve built into it to protect the pitch/trim
servo from adverse system pressure. If the pressure reducer fails, the relief valve goes into bypass, and a visual indicator,
on the pressure reducer, pops. The indicator will remain visible until manually reset. The SAS shutoff valve turns off
system pressure to the SAS actuators. The boost shutoff valve turns off system pressure to the collective and yaw boost

servos. The pitch/trim turn-on valve turns on system pressure to the pitch/trim servo. The pressure switch on the module
turns on the SAS OFF light on the caution/advisory panel UH-60Q HH-60L MFD/caution/advisory panel when pres-
sure drops below limits. The module also has self-sealing, quick-disconnect couplings on all input and output ports, for
ease of maintenance.
The tail rotor servo is located on the tail gear box. It furnishes a power boost to the tail rotor flight controls (Figure 6).
The servo has two independent stages, first and second. The stages of the servo are controlled by the TAIL SERVO
switch located on the miscellaneous switch panel on the lower console. A cooling restrictor is installed for the No. 1
pump module. Normally only the first stage of the servo is pressurized.
LOGIC MODULES
Two logic modules, one in the left relay panel and the other in the right relay panel, are used to control the operation of
the hydraulic systems. The logic modules continually monitor the operation of the hydraulic systems by inputs received
from pressure switches, fluid level switches on the pump modules, and inputs received from control switches in the
hydraulic system. The outputs of the logic modules will turn on capsules or legends on the caution/advisory panel
UH-60Q HH-60L MFD/caution/advisory panel notifying the pilot of a failure, turn off a valve due to a system
malfunction, or command the backup pump to operate.

INSTRUMENT SYSTEMS
The flight instruments provide the pilot with information necessary for correct flight (Figure 1, Sheets 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6,
Detail A). The flight instruments include the barometric altimeters, airspeed indicators, vertical speed indicators, associ-
ated Pitot-Static system, radar altimeters, horizontal situation indicators (HSI), vertical situation indicators (VSI), stabilator
position indicator, and standby compass.
BAROMETRIC ALTIMETERS
Two indicators, one on each side of the instrument panel, indicate altitude above or below sea level under standard condi-
tions of temperature and atmospheric pressure (Figure 1, Sheets 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, Detail A). The range of the altimeter
is between -1000 to 50,000 feet as indicated by three drum indicators and a pointer. The numeral on the 100-foot drum
represents hundreds of feet. The pointer is a vernier indication of the hundreds drum as well as being an indication of
trend information. Each digit on the 1,000-foot drum represents 1,000-foot intervals while each digit of the 10,000-foot
drum represents 10,000-foot levels. In the space corresponding to zero, the 10,000-foot drum has striped lines. The
combined readings of the three drums indicate the altitude of the helicopter. The barometric pressure zero set knob in the
lower left corner is adjusted to compensate for varying barometric pressures. A small barometric scale, showing through a
cutout in the dial between 3 and 4 markings, indicates the adjusted barometric pressure setting. The range of this scale is
28.1 to 31.0 inches of mercury. Each altimeter has two connectors on the back side, one static and one electrical. The
electrical connector provides a 28 vdc input to an internal vibrator that decreases the friction in the mechanism. Lighting
for both the pilot’s and copilot’s barometric altimeter is provided by a lighted bezel. The pilot’s altimeter integral lighting
is controlled by the INSTR LT PILOT FLT control, on the upper console. The copilot’s altimeter integral lighting is
controlled by the CPLT FLT INST LTS control, on the upper console. The pilot’s altimeter encoder provides a digital
output of pressure altitude to the transponder set (AN/APX-100). EH60A The copilot’s altimeter encoder provides a
digital output of pressure altitude to the control display unit. The copilot’s altimeter receives 28 vdc from the No. 1 dc
primary bus through the CPLT ALTM circuit breaker on the copilot’s circuit breaker panel. The pilot’s altimeter encoder
receives 28 vdc from the No. 2 dc primary bus, through the PILOT ALTM circuit breaker on the pilot’s circuit breaker
panel. In the event of power failure, a CODE OFF warning flag will appear from a recess behind the dial.
AIRSPEED INDICATORS
Two airspeed indicators, one on each side of the instrument panel, indicate helicopter speed in knots (Figure 1, Sheets 1,
2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, Detail A). The range is between 0 to 250 knots, marked in 5 knot units. The indicators are differential
pressure instruments, measuring the difference between impact pressure and static pressure. The two pressures are equal
when the helicopter is stationary. As ram air pressure in the Pitot tube becomes greater than pressure in the static line, the
diaphragm connected to the pressure line will expand, moving the airspeed needle upscale and indicating airspeed in
knots. System installation error is noted on two placards (one each for the pilot and copilot) located on the sides of the
lower console.
Two vertical speed indicators, one on each side of the instrument panel, indicate helicopter rate of ascent or descent in
feet per minute (Figure 1, Sheets 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, Detail A). Range markings begin at level flight and are in units of
100 fpm up to 1000 fpm. From 1000 fpm units are in 500 fpm. Maximum indicated vertical speed is 6000 fpm. Indicator
operation is controlled by pressure differential between two chambers. UH60A 77-22714 - 82-23747 A diaphragm-type
chamber is connected to the static line. UH60A 82-23748 - SUBQ UH60L EH60A MWO 50-42 UH-60Q HH-60L The
vertical speed indicator is vented to cockpit atmosphere. The other chamber is the instrument case itself, connected by an
air-restricting tube to the internal connection of the diaphragm supply line. The pointer may be zeroed externally by the
adjusting screw in the lower left corner of the indicator.

The Pitot-Static system provides pressure for operation of the differential pressure instruments, which are the altimeters,
airspeed and vertical speed indicators (Figure 3, Sheets 1 and 2). Differential pressure used to actuate these instruments is
created either by impact (Pitot) and static, or by static and trapped air pressures. The Pitot-Static system supplies both
Pitot and static pressures to the instruments.
Pitot pressure is supplied through Pitot lines from two Pitot-Static tubes to the airspeed indicators, airspeed and air data
transducers, and to Pitot drain caps (Figure 3, Sheets 1 and 2). Static air pressure from the atmosphere is supplied through
static lines from the Pitot-Static tube to the altimeters, airspeed indicators, and static drain caps. The Pitot-Static tubes are
mounted on top of each side of the cockpit and provide Pitot and/or static pressure to instrument lines. The lines from the
Pitot-Static tubes are routed down the sides of the cockpit and are connected to the applicable instruments mounted on the
instrument panel. UH60A 82-23748 - SUBQ UH60L EH60A MWO 50-42 UH-60Q HH-60L A filtered restrictor assembly
and balance chamber installed in each Pitot line provide improved airspeed indicator damping. The restrictor filters
(screens) provide protection from possible restrictor blockage caused by contaminants and airborne particles. The
Pitot-Static system has screw-capped drain ports, PITOT DRAIN and STATIC DRAIN, to release water vapor that has
condensed to the lines. Two PITOT and two STATIC DRAIN ports are on the bottom of the helicopter under the front
cabin.
The Pitot-Static head assembly consists of a baseplate with a strut and probe tube. The base plate contains the Pitot tube
fitting, two static tube fittings (S1 and S2) and an electrical connector wired to two deicing heaters in the tube. The probe
tube contains these pressure sensing ports; Pitot, static 1, and static 2. Pitot pressure is sensed at the opening of the front
end of the tube. Static 1 and static 2 pressure is sensed at the contoured midsection of the tube.
UH60A 82-23748 - SUBQ UH60L EH60A MWO 50-42 UH-60Q HH-60L The Pitot-Static head assembly is attached to a
tapered mounting block assembly surrounded by an aerodynamic fairing that alleviates potential ice buildup at the head
assembly/airframe interface.

and a heading warning flag (HDG). The compass card is 360° rotating scale that displays heading data obtained from the
compass control, and is read at the upper lubber line. Bearing pointer No. 1 is read against the compass card and displays
relative bearing to a target selected on the doppler computer display. Bearing pointer No. 2 is read against the compass
card and displays the relative heading to the selected VOR or ADF station. The course deviation bar indicates lateral
deviation from a selected VOR/LOC or doppler course. Deviation from the selected course is measured by the position of
the bar with respect to the fixed aircraft symbol. When the helicopter is on the selected course, the course bar will be
lined up with a course pointer and will be centered on a fixed aircraft symbol. The doppler range readout (KM) displays
distance to a selected target. A shutter covers the display when doppler is not used. The heading knob turns the heading
marker to the magnetic heading desired. The heading marker rides with the azimuth ring as the helicopter heading
changes. Heading error is indicated by the displacement of the heading marker with respect to the lubber line. The course
set (CRS) knob that drives the course counter and course pointer allows the pilots to select any of 360 courses. Once set,
the course pointer will turn the compass card and will be centered on the upper lubber line when flying the selected
course. A reciprocal course pointer is used to read the back course. The course set counter, that displays numbers 000
through 359, is a digital readout of the course selected by the CRS knob. Heading and course data outputs are supplied
for use in the CIS and the civil navigation system.
A to-from pointer indicates that the helicopter is flying toward or away from the selected VOR or ILS station only if the
heading is the same as that selected. When the helicopter is in the cone of silence (above the selected station), the point-
ers will be removed from view. A navigation warning flag (NAV) indicates the reliability of navigational signals. When a
reliable navigation signal is applied to the HSI, the NAV flag will retract from view. A heading warning flag (HDG) is
visible when the HSI magnetic compass circuits are not operating properly. For a complete description of HSI mode
selection and display functions, refer to VSI/HSI mode select system in TM 11-1520-237-23.
The roll bar is displayed during CIS HDG (heading) and NAV (navigation) modes to indicate steering information to a
desired VOR/ILS radial, a selected course, or a VHF/FM station. The pitch bar is displayed during the CIS NAV mode to
indicate airspeed hold and deceleration information. When a command bar or pointer is not used in a particular CIS func-
tion, it is biased out of view by the CIS processor. Should a malfunction occur in the processor or input sensor, the CMD
(command) flag is displayed and the respective bar or pointer is biased out of view.
A glide slope warning flag is on the right face of the indicator. The flag marked GS will be out of view when the receiver
is operating and reliable signals are received. A navigation flag, marked NAV is on the lower left side of the indicator.
The flag will be out of view when the navigation receiver is operating and reliable signals are received. The course devia-
tion pointer indicates to the pilot the helicopter’s position with respect to the course selected on the horizontal situation
indicator. The course deviation scale represents right or left off-course position measured in dots from center (on course).
Each dot from center indicates a course deviation of 1.25° for ILS, 5° VOR and FM. The glide slope deviation pointer,
on the right side of the indicator, represents the helicopter’s position with respect to the glide slope. Each dot from the
center glide slope line indicates a deviation of 0.25° above or below glide slope. The fixed horizon bar provides a refer-
ence to artificial horizon. Bank angle scale, with markings at right and left at 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 60° and 90°, provides
bank angle indications. The rate of turn indicator is read against a fixed scale which gives rate gyro information. The
artificial horizon gives a reference of the helicopter’s attitude with reference to the horizon. The PITCH trim knob adjusts
the artificial horizon line up or down. The ROLL trim knob adjusts the artificial horizon right or left. Three advisory
lamps and one spare are mounted on removable panels across the upper face of the indicator. The GA lamp indicates
when the CIS Go-Around function has been selected. The DH lamp indicates when the decision height (minimum radar
altitude) has been reached during CIS altitude operation. The MB lamp indicates when an outer, middle, or airways
0020 00-13
TM 1-1520-237-23 0020 00
marker beacon signal is received by the civil navigation system. The lamps may be checked by setting the caution/
advisory panel BRT/DIM-TEST switch to TEST. For a complete description of VSI mode selection and display functions,
refer to VSI/HSI mode select system in TM 11-1520-237-23.
For location and description of major components, refer to the data in this work package.
EQUIPMENT DATA
If applicable, refer to WP 1624 00 and WP 1706 00 for equipment data information.
0020 00-14
TM 1-1520-237-23 0021 00
UNIT LEVEL
INSTRUMENT SYSTEMS
Two stabilator position indicators, one on each side of the instrument panel provide the pilot and copilot with an indica-
tion of stabilator position (Refer to WP 0020 00). The indicator range is marked from 45° DN to 10° UP. When power is
lost or removed the OFF flag will come into view and the pointer will disappear behind the mask.
Two stabilator position placards, one on each side of the instrument panel next to the stabilator position indicators (Refer
to WP 0020 00) indicate the maximum allowable indicated airspeed in knots for a given stabilator position. This permits
the pilot to keep forward airspeed within safe limits when flying in the manual mode, or when the stabilator malfunctions
and locks up in a position other than 0°.
STANDBY COMPASS
The standby compass on the top of the instrument panel, housed in a filled sealed case, indicates heading relative to the
magnetic north pole (Figure 1). It has a lubber line, a compass card, and a permanent magnet compensating system. The
lubber line is constructed so the parallax will be reduced to a minimum when reading the compass card. The compass
card is nonmagnetic and is marked in 5° units. Cardinal headings are shown in enlarged letters: N for north at zero de-
grees, E for east at 90°, S for south at 180°, and W for west at 270°. The enlarged numerals 3, 6, 12, 15, 21, 30, and 33

UNIT LEVEL
INSTRUMENT SYSTEMS
The instrument display system (IDS), used in conjunction with engine and subsystem sensors (temperature, pressure,
torque, fuel and RPM), provides the pilots with engine and subsystem monitoring. The IDS gives continuous indications
of the parameters on vertical scales, digital readouts, and status lights. The IDS consists of a pilot’s display unit (PDU),
copilot’s display unit (CPDU), and central display unit (CDU), on the instrument panel, No. 1 signal data converter (No.
1 SDC) and No. 2 signal data converter (No. 2 SDC), on the shelf front of the instrument panel, and a rotor overspeed
reset switch, in the avionics compartment. Since the PDU and CPDU are identical and the No. 1 and No. 2 SDCs are
identical, the IDS consists of three basic units: PDUs, SDCs, and the CDU.
POWER DISTRIBUTION
System electrical power of 28 vdc is supplied by the No. 1 dc primary bus through the NO. 1 DC INST circuit breaker,
and by the No. 2 dc primary bus through the NO. 2 DC INST circuit breaker (Figure 1, Sheets 1, 2, and 3). System
electrical power of 115 vac is supplied by the No. 1 ac primary bus through the NO. 1 AC INST circuit breaker and by
the No. 2 ac primary bus through the NO. 2 AC INST circuit breaker. The NO. 1 DC INST and NO. 1 AC INST circuit
breakers, on the copilot’s circuit breaker panel, provide power to the No. 1 SDC. The NO. 2 DC INST and NO. 2 AC
INST circuit breakers, on the pilot’s circuit breaker panel, provide power to the No. 2 SDC. Each SDC contains a logic
power supply, that feeds IDS digital and analog processing circuitry. Each SDC also contains a lamp supply that feeds
IDS lamp display circuitry.
FACEPLATE LIGHTING
Faceplate lighting for the CDU and PDU is controlled by the INSTR LT NON FLT, INSTR LT PILOT FLT, and CPLT
FLT INST LTS controls on the upper console. CDU faceplate lighting voltage, between 0 to 5 vac, is applied from the
INSTR LT NON FLT control through the No. 1 SDC, to the CDU. Copilot’s PDU faceplate lighting voltage is applied
from the CPLT FLT INST LTS control to the copilot’s flight instrument lights 5V/115V transformer. The output voltage
from the transformer is routed through the No. 1 SDC to the copilot’s PDU. PDU faceplate lighting voltage is applied
from the INSTR LT PILOT FLT control to the pilot’s flight instrument lights 5V/115V transformer. The output voltage
from the transformer is routed through the No. 2 SDC to the pilot’s PDU.
All engine and subsystem sensor signals monitored by the IDS are applied to the No. 1 or No. 2 SDC. The No. 1 SDC
receives all No. 1 engine sensor signals (oil pressure, oil temperature, turbine gas temperature, gas generator tachometer,
torque, power turbine tachometer), No. 1 fuel quantity sensor signal, main rotor speed sensor signal, No. 2 engine power
turbine tachometer signal, and No. 2 engine torque sensor signal. The No. 2 SDC receives all No. 2 engine sensor signals
(oil pressure, oil temperature, turbine gas temperature, gas generator tachometer, torque, power turbine tachometer), No. 2
fuel quantity sensor signal, main rotor speed sensor signal, No. 1 engine power turbine tachometer signal, No. 1 engine
torque sensor signal, main transmission oil temperature sensor signal, and main transmission oil pressure sensor signal.
Within each SDC the associated sensor signals, except for No. 1 and No. 2 fuel quantity, main transmission oil tempera-
ture, and main transmission oil pressure are conditioned to a common digital format for multiplexing. The fuel quantity
and main transmission sensor signals are conditioned and multiplexed within the CDU. After the sensor signals have been
conditioned and multiplexed, the sensor data is routed to latching circuits in the CDU, pilot’s PDU and copilot’s PDU.
The latching circuits retain the last signal data until it is time to update. During update (twice per second), the latches
activate lamp drivers that energize miniature lamps on the edge of the display modules. Light from the lamps is carried to
the display panel face by fiber optic strips, giving visual analog and digital displays corresponding to the level of the
sensed parameter.

Each SDC contains a lamp power supply that limits the light intensity of the IDS displays. The No. 1 SDC lamp power
supply provides voltage to all copilot’s PDU displays, alternate lamps on the CDU analog displays, and No. 1 engine and
total fuel CDU digital displays. The No. 2 SDC lamp power supply provides voltage to all PDU displays and alternate
lamps on the CDU analog display; and No. 2 engine CDU digital displays. The output voltages of the lamp power sup-
plies are determined by three photocell outputs and the DIM control. The three photocells, one on each display unit, sense
the surrounding light level. The photocell sensing the highest level of light controls the input to the lamp power supply.
The DIM control, on the CDU, is a gain adjustment for the lamp power supply and sets the display lighting contrast level
to be maintained by the photocells. Turning the DIM control clockwise, past the detent, sets the display lighting to a fixed
preset level and disables the three photocells. The control loops of both lamp power supplies are tied together so both
lamp supplies provide the same output voltage.
Main transmission oil pressure, No. 1 engine oil pressure, No. 2 engine oil pressure, No. 1 fuel quantity, No. 2 fuel
quantity, and engine and rotor speed analog displays have low scale segments colored red and/or amber to indicate
undesirable operating ranges. When the scale reading is above this low range, the IDS automatic bottom segment turn-off
circuitry causes the bottom segment lamps to go off. If the display reading drops back into the undesirable operating
range, the bottom segment lamps go on again.
SYSTEM INTERFACE
The IDS provides control voltages for these helicopter status capsules:
1. #1 ENG OUT
2. #2 ENG OUT
The #1 ENG OUT, #2 ENG OUT, and LOW ROTOR RPM capsules are on the pilot’s and copilots master warning
panels, on the instrument panel. The remaining capsules are on the caution/advisory panel UH-60Q HH-60L or MFD/
caution/advisory panel, also on the instrument panel. The #1 ENG OUT capsules will be on whenever the No. 1
engine gas generator tachometer (No. 1 Ng SPEED) is less than 55%. The #2 ENG OUT capsules will be on whenever
the No. 2 engine gas generator tachometer (No. 2 Ng SPEED) is less than 55%. The LOW ROTOR RPM capsule will be
on whenever the main rotor speed (RTR) is less than 96%. The #1 ENGINE OIL PRESS capsule will be on whenever the
No. 1 engine oil pressure (1 ENG OIL PRESS) is less than 25 psi. The #1 ENGINE OIL TEMP capsule will be on
whenever the No. 1 engine oil temperature (1 ENG OIL TEMP) is more than 150°C. The #2 ENGINE OIL PRESS
capsule will be on whenever the No. 2 engine oil pressure (2 ENG OIL PRESS) is less than 25 psi. The #2 ENGINE OIL
TEMP capsule will be on whenever the No. 2 engine oil temperature (2 ENG OIL TEMP) is more than 150°C.
The control voltages provided by the IDS to the LOW ROTOR RPM and #1 and #2 ENG OUT capsules also control low
rotor RPM and engine-out audible warning signals. The IDS signals energize a relay in the left relay panel that controls
an audible warning circuit. For a further description of the audible warning circuit, refer to caution/advisory warning
system (WP 0026 00) UH-60Q HH-60L or multifunction display/caution/advisory warning system (WP 0027 00) .

INSTRUMENT SYSTEMS
The signal data converter (SDC) processes a variety of helicopter sensor signals and provides proportional digital signals
in a multiplexed format to the central display unit (CDU) and the pilot’s display unit (PDU) (Figure 1). The CDU and
PDU provide visual indications of the processed sensor signals. The SDC operates on helicopter 115 vac, 400 Hz and 28
vdc power. The SDC contains the circuitry to process the following helicopter sensor signals: engine oil pressure, engine
oil temperature, No. 1 and No. 2 engine torque, engine turbine gas temperature (TGT), No. 1 and No. 2 engine power
turbine tachometer (% RPM), engine gas generator tachometer (Ng), and rotor RPM. The SDC updates this data twice per
second. The fuel quantity, main transmission oil temperature and main transmission oil pressure signals are routed through
the SDC and processed in the CDU. The more important signals are processed through redundant circuits for reliability.
Monitoring circuits are used to ensure the validity of the displayed data. The SDC also provides output voltages to the
helicopter caution/advisory warning system when any of the following conditions exists: low engine oil pressure, high
engine oil temperature, low engine gas generator tachometer (Ng), and low rotor speed. There are three external electrical
connectors on the SDC: J1 which provides input/output interface with helicopter power and sensors, J2 which provides
signal and power input/output interface with the PDU, and J3 which provides signal and power input/output interface with
CDU. The SDC contains the following modules:
1. Lamp power supply (A2)
The lamp power supply A2 is a high current low voltage unit (Figure 1). External power of 28 vdc and unregulated 15.5
vdc and -15.5 vdc are provided to the lamp power supply. The lamp supply control voltage is provided from the voltage
regulator module. The output of the lamp power supply can be varied between 200 millivolts and 6 vdc determined by
the control voltage input.
LOGIC POWER SUPPLY (A3)
The logic power supply receives 115 vac, 400 Hz power from the helicopter power system (Figure 1). The power supply
uses a step-down multi-secondary winding transformer and conventional diode rectifiers to generate various dc voltages
and ac excitation for the engine and main transmission oil pressure sensors.
The interface No. 4 module A4 contains engine oil pressure interface circuitry with its -5 vdc reference voltage regulator,
a floating 5 vdc regulator for the temperature compensating unit, and turbine gas temperature interface circuitry. A 10 vac,

400 Hz reference voltage from the logic power supply is used with the engine oil pressure sensor signal (400 Hz) to
generate a dc analog signal proportional to the pressure. The dc analog voltage is applied to the A/T converter which
produces the engine oil pressure update signal when enabled by the multiplexer signal from the analog processor. The
analog reset signal generated by the analog processor resets the A/T converter. The update signal is applied to the engine
oil pressure lamp driver module in the CDU. A floating 8 vdc is supplied to the interface No. 4 module from the logic
power supply. This input is applied to a voltage regulator that generates 5 vdc output to the temperature compensating
unit. The output of the thermocouple probes which sense the turbine gas temperature (TGT) is applied to the interface
circuitry through a temperature compensating unit. A 5 vdc regulator supplies a floating output to the temperature
compensating unit which compensates for ambient temperature changes. The conditioned thermocouple signal is applied
to the analog and digital A/T converters which supply TGT analog and digital update signals to the CDU. The TGT
circuitry also receives analog reset and multiplex signals generated by the analog processor and digital reset and multiplex
signals generated by the digital processor. The interface No. 4 module receives -10 vdc, 10 vdc, and 5 vdc operating volt-
age from the voltage regulator module.
The interface No. 3 module A5 contains voltage regulators that provide 11 vdc, -11 vdc, and -5 vdc, and interface
circuitry for No. 1 and No. 2 engine torque signals. The 11 vdc and -11 vdc regulators operate from the 14.5 vdc and
-14.5 vdc floating input, from the logic power supply. The ground isolated -5 vdc regulator operates from the -11 vdc
regulator. The -5 vdc is used as a reference voltage for the A/T converters. Since the engine control unit (ECU) is float-
ing, all reference voltages must also be isolated. The torque sensor signals are conditioned by the ECU, and applied to
buffer amplifiers. The outputs of the buffers are applied to differential amplifiers. The differential amplifiers provide
signals to the A/T analog and digital converters which produce analog and digital update No. 1 and No. 2 engine torque
signals to both PDUs. The No. 1 and No. 2 engine torque circuits receive reset and multiplex signals generated by the
analog and digital processors. The interface No. 3 module receives -10 vdc, 10 vdc, and 5 vdc from the voltage regulator
module.
Interface No. 2 module contains interface circuitry for the engine oil temperature, No. 1 engine power turbine tachometer
signal (% RPM 1) and No. 2 engine power turbine tachometer signal (% RPM 2). The oil temperature sensor provides a
variable resistance input. This resistance forms part of the feedback loop of an operational amplifier. The dc voltage
output is proportional to the oil temperature and is applied to the A/T converter which produces an update engine oil tem-
perature signal for the CDU. The engine oil temperature circuits receive analog reset and multiplex signals generated by
the analog processor. The 1.28 MHz reference frequency is used to convert both No. 1 and No. 2 power turbine
tachometer signals to a dc analog voltage proportional to the sensor input frequency. There are identical circuits for the
engine No. 1 and engine No. 2 sensors. The dc analog signals are fed to the A/T converters which produce update %
RPM 1 and % RPM 2 signals to the PDU. The engine No. 1 and No. 2 circuits receive reset and multiplex signals gener-
ated by the analog processor. The interface No. 2 module receives -10 vdc, and 10 vdc, and 5 vdc operating power from
the voltage regulator module.
The interface No. 1 module A7 contains interface circuitry for the main rotor speed and gas generator tachometer (Ng)
signal inputs. The 1.28 MHz reference voltage from the digital processor module is used with the main rotor speed signal
to generate a dc analog signal proportional to the input frequency. The dc analog signal is fed to the A/T converter which
produces an update rotor speed signal to both the PDU. The rotor speed circuits receive an analog reset pulse and rotor
speed multiplex signal generated by the analog processor. The 1.28 MHz reference frequency is also used to convert the
gas generator tachometer signal (Ng SPEED) to a dc analog voltage proportional to the sensor input frequency. The dc
analog signal is fed to the A/T analog converter and the A/T digital converter. The A/T analog converter receives an
analog reset signal and Ng SPEED analog multiplex signal generated by the analog processor and sends an Ng SPEED
analog update signal to the CDU for the analog display. The A/T digital converter receives a digital reset signal and Ng
0023 00-3
TM 1-1520-237-23 0023 00
SPEED multiplex signal generated by the digital processor and sends an Ng SPEED digital update signal to the CDU for
the digital display. The interface No. 1 module receives -10 vdc, 10 vdc, and 5 vdc operating power from the voltage
regulator module.
The analog processor No. 2 module A8 contains the last stages of the A and B shift registers, overflow counters, circuitry
to generate reset pulses, decoding circuitry to generate multiplex frame pulses, and failure warning detectors. The No. 2
module receives the 12.8 kHz clock signal and the output of the last stage of the A and B registers from the analog
processor No. 1 module. The A and B monitor signals from the analog processor No. 1 module are combined with the
monitor signals in the analog processor No. 2 module to generate the analog A or analog B select signal. The select gates
are inhibited when a failure warning signal is received from the digital processor. Shift register reset pulses are produced
and sent to the No. 1 analog processor. In addition, the analog reset pulse is produced which resets the A/T converters
after amplification by the voltage regulator. Decoding circuits decode the output of a counter to produce the analog
multiplex signal that controls the sequence in which the various analog signals are enabled for updating in the interface
circuitry.
The analog processor No. 1 module A9 contains two shift registers, an A register and a B register. It also contains the
AND/OR select gates which connect either the A or the B register to the output for the analog data word to the PDU and
the CDU. The output of the last stage of the shift registers is connected to the No. 2 analog processor module. The shift
registers are clocked by a 128 KHz signal from the digital processor. The output of the last stage is also fed to a monitor
circuit for each register. The output of the monitors is fed to the analog processor No. 2 module. The A or B shift register
select signal is received from the analog processor No. 2 module. The analog processor No. 1 module receives 5 vdc
operating power from the voltage regulator module.
The digital processor module A10 generates clock signals for both digital and analog processors and digital multiplexing
signals. In addition, it provides binary coded decimal (BCD) information for use on the digital displays in the CDU and
PDU. Two crystal controlled oscillators generate 1.28 MHz frequencies in a redundant configuration. The 1.28 MHz is
used in the No. 1 and No. 2 interface modules. The 1.28 MHz signal is divided down to provide the analog and digital
clock signals. Redundant decade counters A and B produce BCD data from the 128 kHz clock signal. The last stages of
the counter are used to generate a reset pulse, multiplex sequencing pulses, digital test frequency, and a monitor input
signal. The output of the monitor provides the digital select A or digital select B signal. The digital reset pulse is fed to
the voltage regulator for amplification. Analog clock inhibit signals are received from the PDU are connected through
circuitry to the No. 1 analog processor. Digital clock inhibit signals are received from the CDU and PDU for use in the
digital processor. These signals stop the clock pulses during update. This prevents any clock inputs to either the analog or
digital processors from being processed during transfer of data into the displays.
The voltage regulator module contains three regulators. These are -10 volt, 10 volt, and 5 volt. In addition there are buffer
amplifiers for the analog and digital reset signals and the error amplifier of the lamp power supply control. The 10 vdc
regulator operates on 15.5 vdc input power. The 15.5 vdc is also fed out to the lamp power supply. The -10 vdc regulator
operates on -15.5 vdc input power. The -15.5 vdc is also fed out to the lamp power supply. The 5 vdc regulator operates
on 8 vdc power. The 8 vdc is also sent to the PDU. The analog reset is a narrow positive pulse generated on the analog
processor No. 2 module. This pulse is used to reset all the A/T converters synchronously with the resetting of the analog
processor. The voltage regulator module amplifies this pulse for use in the SDC and the CDU. A similar circuit does the
same for the digital reset signal from the digital processor. The lamp power supply error amplifier receives a control
signal from the auto dim circuit in the CDU and the lamp power supply output. Operational amplifiers compare the two
signals and produce a lamp supply control signal for the lamp power supply.

TM 1-1520-237-23 0023 00
All the lamp driver modules operate in basically the same way. The only difference is some modules (No. 1 and No. 2
fuel quantity, No. 1 and No. 2 engine oil pressure and main transmission oil pressure modules) have automatic bottom
segment turnoff. This feature automatically turns off the low scale red and/or amber segments when the scale reading
reaches the green segment. The low scale segments are automatically turned on when the scale reading drops below the
green segment. Analog data is fed to the lamp drivers from the analog processor shift registers in the SDCs. The analog
processors also supply the update pulses and test frequency. The analog update initiates the transfer of the data into the
parallel-in/parallel-out shift registers. The output of the registers is applied to transistor lamp drivers to light the appropri-
ate lamps. Light from the lamps is carried to the display panel faceplate by fiber optic strips, giving visual displays cor-
responding to the level of the sensed parameter. Power for the lamps is supplied by lamp supply voltages from SDC No.
1 and SDC No. 2. The No. 1 SDC supplies lamp voltage to all even numbered lamps while the No. 2 SDC supplies lamp
voltage to all the odd numbered lamps on the vertical scale. A fault detection circuit monitors the test frequency and
update pulse. In the absence of the test frequency or an update pulse, the fault detection circuit produces a failure warning
signal and a reset pulse which resets the shift register, turning off all module display lamps on that module. When the
CDU PUSH TO TEST switch is pressed, a lamp test voltage is applied to the driver module causing all its lamps to go
on.
The voltage regulator receives both power and selective multiplexed analog data/update pulses from both the No. 1 and
No. 2 SDCs. The voltage regulator provides over current protection (in conjunction with Q1) and regulated -10 vdc, 10
vdc, and 5 vdc operating voltages for the CDU. In addition, the voltage regulator provides output signals when any
specific helicopter parameter high/low warning condition is detected. The regulator provides three rotor overspeed warn-
ing voltages to both pilot’s display units (PDU) and also provides output voltages through the appropriate CDU fuse and
the SDCs to the helicopter caution/advisory warning system when any of the following conditions exists: No. 1 or No. 2
low engine oil pressure, No. 1 or No. 2 high engine oil temperature, No. 1 or No. 2 low engine gas generator tachometer
(Ng), or low rotor speed. When any of the rotor overspeed conditions (127%, 137%, or 142%) are detected, a relay on
the voltage regulator is energized (latched) and connects the lamp power supply voltage to the respective overspeed lamps
on both PDUs, causing the lamps to go on. The PDU lamps will now remain on and the regulator relay will remain
latched even when the overspeed condition no longer exists (safe RPM). An external reset signal from the helicopter
system to the voltage regulator module is required to reset the latching relay and cause the PDU overspeed lamps to go
off. The remaining warning detection circuits on the voltage regulator will reset whenever the warning (unsafe) condition
no longer exists.
The interface No. 2 module contains the signal conditioning circuitry for transmission oil temperature and the No. 1 and
No. 2 fuel quantity signals. It also contains the transmission oil temperature A/T converter for the analog scale, the No. 1
and No. 2 A/T converters for the fuel quantity analog scales and the digital A/T converter for total fuel. The output from
0023 00-5
TM 1-1520-237-23 0023 00
the No. 1 and No. 2 fuel quantity sensors are fed to a fuel quantity conditioning circuit where they are converted to a dc
voltage. The outputs are applied to the No. 1 and No. 2 fuel quantity A/T converters. They are summed by the A/T
converter for the digital display for total fuel. The interface No. 2 module also receives analog reset and multiplex signals
from the analog processor in the SDC and generates the fuel 1 and fuel 2 update signals to the respective lamp driver
modules. The digital reset and total fuel multiplex signal are provided by the digital processor in the SDC and the total
fuel update signal is applied to the digital readout module. The transmission oil temperature sensor, a variable resistance,
is fed to a conditioning circuit where it is converted to a dc voltage proportional to the oil temperature. The proportional
dc voltage is then applied to the transmission oil temperature A/T converter. The analog reset signal and the transmission
oil temperature multiplex signal from the SDC are used by the A/T converter to generate the transmission oil temperature
update signal which is applied to the transmission oil temperature lamp driver module.
The digital readout module provides digital readouts for total fuel, No. 1 and No. 2 engine gas generator tachometer (Ng
SPEED 1 and 2) and No. 1 and No. 2 engine turbine gas temperature sensor signals (TGT TEMP 1 and 2). The digital
readout module receives digital data from both SDCs. The digital data is fed to latching circuits on the digital module.
When a parameter update signal is received, the incoming digital data is coupled through the latching circuitry to the
seven-segment decoder drivers which light the appropriate lamps. Digital data as well as the appropriate update,
multiplexing, test frequency, and lamp power supply voltages for total fuel, No. 1 engine gas generator tachometer (Ng 1)
and No. 1 engine turbine gas temperature (TGT TEMP 1) are provided by the No. 1 SDC. The equivalent voltages for
No. 2 engine gas generator tachometer (Ng 2) and No. 2 engine turbine gas temperature (TGT TEMP 2) display are
provided by the No. 2 SDC. Each update pulse and the test frequency are applied to a monitor circuit on the digital
readout module. In the absence of an update pulse or test frequency pulse, the monitor circuit produces a failure warning
signal which lights the appropriate CHAN 1 or CHAN 2 warning light. In addition, the warning signal turns off the fault
detected digital readout. All digital readouts can be blanked by placing the DIGITS switch to OFF. When the CDU PUSH
TO TEST switch is engaged, all digital segments will light and be displayed in the digital readout.
The torque digital readout module provides digital readouts for percentage of No. 1 and No. 2 engine torque. The module
receives digital data from the SDC and stores the data in a latching circuit when an update pulse is present. The data is
fed to two decoder drivers which light the seven-segment units and tens displays, and to two transistors that drive
separate lamps for the 9hundreds9 display (numeral 1 only). Each update pulse and a test frequency are applied to a moni-
tor circuit that checks for the presence of update pulses. If the update pulses fail to correspond with the test frequency,
the monitor circuit turns off the digital readout and applies a failure warning signal to the CDU. When the TEST switch
is pressed, all digital segments will go on.

The central display unit (CDU), in the center of the instrument panel, receives signal and power inputs from both the No.
1 and No. 2 signal data converters (SDC) (Figure 1, Detail A).The CDU contains twelve analog displays, five digital
displays, and two failure lights. The CDU receives the following multiplexed data signals from the SDCs. No. 1 and No.
2 engine oil temperature, No. 1 and No. 2 engine oil pressure, No. 1 and No. 2 engine turbine gas temperature (TGT),
and No. 1 and No. 2 engine gas generator tachometer (Ng). These parameters are displayed on the CDU analog scales.
The No. 1 and No. 2 engine turbine gas temperature and No. 1 and No. 2 engine gas generator tachometer information
are also displayed on CDU digital readouts. The No. 1 and No. 2 fuel quantity signals from the No. 1 SDC and No. 2
SDC, respectively, and main transmission oil temperature and pressure signals from the No. 2 SDC are conditioned and
multiplexed by the CDU for analog display. Total fuel quantity is displayed on a digital readout. Additional information
on CDU analog displays is given in the following tabular data. The CDU failure lights, CHAN 1 and CHAN 2, are part
of the IDS fault detection circuit. A failure of any SDC or CDU processing circuit, CDU or PDU display driver module,
or SDC logic power supply will cause the associated display channel to turn off or switch to backup processor, and will
light the associated CHAN failure light. Failure of lamp power supply within an SDC will cause every second display
light on the CDU to go off. The CDU also contains: a PUSH TO TEST switch that, when pressed, causes all CDU verti-
cal scale lamps, digital readouts, and CHAN 1 and CHAN 2 failure lights and the PDU and CPDU RTR OVERSPEED

The caution/advisory warning system gives visual capsule indications for up to 82 helicopter subsystem conditions, and
aural indications for three of these conditions (Figure 1, Detail A). Each indicator capsule has a colored legend that is
visible when the capsule lights, to indicate the condition monitored. Green advisory capsules indicate actuation and
normal operation of helicopter equipment. Yellow caution capsules indicate unsafe flight conditions and system failures.
Red warning capsules indicate unsafe flight conditions requiring immediate action. When an advisory, caution, or warning
condition exists, the related capsule goes on and remains on until the condition is removed or the trouble is corrected. On
helicopters equipped with caution/advisory panel, 70550-01107-102, there are seven latching caution capsules that remain
on, once turned on, and do not go off until reset. On helicopters with caution/advisory panel, 70550-01107-103, these
capsules do not latch. When a caution capsule goes on, two MASTER CAUTION PRESS TO RESET capsules also go on
to attract the attention of the pilot and copilot to the caution condition. The MASTER CAUTION PRESS TO RESET
capsules will remain on until the trouble is corrected or until either capsule is pressed to reset both capsules for another
caution condition. The system provides aural warnings to the pilot’s and copilot’s ICS stations in addition to the visual
warnings for low rotor RPM, engine out, and stabilator shutdown conditions. A steady tone is provided for either low ro-
tor RPM or engine out conditions, and a beeping tone is provided for stabilator shutdown. The system also gives indicator
light test and dimming control signals to other helicopter systems. The caution/advisory warning system consists of a
caution/advisory panel on the center of the instrument panel, two master warning panels; one on each side of the instru-
ment panel glare shield, an audible warning unit on the canted bulkhead on the left side of the avionics compartment, and
two dimming controls on the left side of the instrument panel.
The caution/advisory panel gives visual indications, on aviation yellow or green color-coded capsules, that show the status
of as many as 82 helicopter subsystem conditions (Figure 1). Each capsule has a legend that becomes visible when a
capsule lights. Sixty four capsules are yellow, while eighteen are green. The 64 yellow capsules are caution capsules that
indicate unsafe flight condition system failures. The 18 green capsules are advisory capsules that indicate actuation or
normal operation of various helicopter subsystems. With the exception of two caution capsules, 1 and 62, all of the cau-
tion and advisory capsules light steady. Capsules 1 and 62 flash when activated. Whenever a fault signal is applied to one
of the 64 caution capsules, a 28 vdc output from the caution/advisory panel is also produced. In the helicopter installation,
this output is used to power external lights on two master warning panels. The external master caution signal may be
reset by unlatching a circuit in the caution/advisory panel with an external reset command voltage. The capsules are ar-
ranged on the front of the caution/advisory panel in 4 horizontal rows, with 19 capsules in the extreme left vertical row
and 21 capsules in each of the remaining 3 rows. The upper portion displays 64 caution indications. The lower portion
displays 18 advisory indications. On panel, 70550-01107-102, there are seven latching capsules (13, 14, 21, 33, 42, 74,
and 75). Once they are turned on, they remain on until a reset is applied. All the latching capsules are identical in opera-
tion except 33, which has a 30-second time delay before turn-on. The caution/advisory panel also consists of a three posi-
tion momentary-type contact toggle switch, with panel markings of BRT/DIM and TEST; a frame assembly; two side cov-
ers; four circuit channel cards and one control card, which plug into mating connectors within the frame; two input/output
signal and power connectors and chassis mounted electronic components. Refer to Table 1.

The caution/advisory warning system gets dc electrical power from the upper console circuit breaker panel and from the
copilot’s circuit breaker panel (Figure 2, Sheets 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7). Electrical power of 28 vdc is supplied by the dc
essential bus and routed through the CAUT/ADVSY PNL circuit breaker to the caution/advisory panel, the master warn-
ing panels, and the left relay panel. The 28 vdc is also applied to the INSTR LT PILOT FLT control. When the control is
turned from OFF, 28 vdc is applied to the caution/advisory panel for lamp dimming control. Electrical power of 28 vdc is
supplied by the No. 1 dc primary bus and routed through the LIGHTS CAUT ADVSY circuit breaker for lamp test
power. Electrical power of 28 vdc is applied to the PNL LTS switches on the pilot’s and copilot’s cyclic stick grips from

the LIGHTS ADVSY circuit breaker. UH60A 79-23302 - SUBQ UH60L EH60A When the switches are pressed to turn
off panel lights, the 28 vdc is applied to the caution/advisory panel for night vision goggle dimming control.
The caution/advisory panel receives 28 vdc and ground signals from helicopter systems to light the caution and advisory
capsules listed in Table 2. For most of the caution capsules and all of the advisory capsules, a 28 vdc signal from the
monitored system is applied directly to the capsule circuit to light the capsule. These capsules will remain on until the
input signal is removed. For chip detection and generator bearing failure monitoring, 28 vdc caution capsule power is ap-
plied to ground sensing circuits in the caution/advisory panel. When a chip is detected or a generator bearing fails, a
ground is applied to the ground sensing circuit. The sensing circuit then applies the 28 vdc power to the caution capsule
circuit to light the capsule. UH60A 77-22714 - 78-22986 Five transmission chip and two generator bearing failure
capsules latch when turned on and remain latched until reset. When the fault is removed, a latched capsule can be turned
off by applying either a master or special reset signal. A master reset occurs when power is removed from the caution/
advisory warning system for longer than 200 msec. When a master reset is applied, all latched capsules reset so that when
power is reapplied, all capsules will be off. A special reset signal is generated when power is removed from the particular
system being monitored. With a special reset applied only the associated capsule resets. When power is removed from the
chip detector system, a special reset is generated and these capsules reset, if latched: CHIP INPUT MDL-LH, CHIP AC-
CESS MDL-LH, CHIP MAIN MDL-SUMP, CHIP INPUT MDL-RH and CHIP ACCESS MDL-RH. When ac electrical
system No. 1 generator warning power is removed, a special reset pulse will reset the #1 GEN BRG capsule, if latched.
When ac electrical system No. 2 generator warning power is removed, a special reset pulse will reset the #2 GEN BRG
capsule. With the exception of the #1 and #2 FUEL LOW capsules, all caution and advisory capsules light steady. The
#1 and #2 FUEL LOW capsules flash at a rate of about four flashes per second when activated by a low fuel caution
input.

preventing reset of the master warning caution circuits when the MASTER CAUTION PRESS TO RESET is pressed and
released. UH60A 83-23895 - SUBQ UH60L EH60A The chip detector resistor unit has been removed. A diode has
been installed in the caution/advisory panel to achieve the same function.
The pilot’s and copilot’s master warning panels receive 28 vdc signals from the instrument display system (IDS) and the
fire detection system to light the warning capsules listed in Table 2. The IDS provides warning signals for low engine gas
turbine speed (engine-out) and low rotor RPM. The #1 and #2 ENG OUT capsules light steady when activated. The LOW
ROTOR RPM capsules flash at 3 to 5 flashes per second when activated. The fire detection system generates a fire warn-
ing signal when a fire is detected in the No. 1 engine, No. 2 engine, or APU area. The 28 vdc warning signal is routed
through a fire detection circuit in the left relay panel to the pilot’s and copilot’s master warning panels to light the FIRE
capsules.
The audible warning function is controlled by the left relay panel. Warning signals from the IDS (low rotor RPM and No.
1 or No. 2 engine out) and the stabilator system are routed through the left relay panel to activate the audible warning
unit, which generates both beeping and steady warning tones. The warning tones are applied to the left relay panel which
selects either one for application to the intercommunication system. The stabilator system warning signal is given priority
over both IDS warning signals. With a stabilator warning condition present, the 28 vdc stabilator warning signal is ap-
plied through the normally closed contacts of relay K49 to the audible warning unit and to the solenoid of relay K44.
Relay K44 energizes, selecting the beeping warning tone output from the audible warning unit. The warning tone is fed
from the left relay panel through the junction box assembly to the pilot’s and copilot’s intercommunication system sta-
tions. With a No. 1 or No. 2 engine-out warning condition present, the 28 vdc signals are applied through the normally
closed contacts of relay K48 to the audible warning unit. The steady warning tone is selected by the deenergized contacts
of relay K44 and routed to the pilot’s and copilot’s stations. With a low rotor RPM warning condition present during
flight, the 28 vdc signal is applied through energized contacts of relay K46 to the audible warning unit. The steady warn-
ing signal is applied to the pilot’s and copilot’s stations as described for engine-out warning condition. The low rotor
RPM warning is disabled with weight on wheels. The audible warnings for stabilator shutdown and engine-out conditions
may be cleared by pressing one of the MASTER CAUTION PRESS TO RESET capsules. Pressing a capsule applies 28
vdc to the left relay panel audio reset circuit consisting of relays K48 and K49. Relay K48 energizes to disable an engine-
out warning and relay K49 energizes to disable a stabilator shutdown warning.
The caution/advisory panel contains a BRT/DIM TEST switch that enables testing and changing the light intensity of all
caution, advisory, and warning capsules. The switch is momentary in both the BRT/DIM and TEST positions. Placing the
switch to TEST applies 28 vdc to all caution and advisory capsule circuits to light all capsules. A 28 vdc test signal is
also applied to the master warning panels to light all warning capsules. As in normal operation, the #1 and #2 FUEL
LOW caution capsules and the LOW ROTOR RPM warning capsules flash when activated by the test signal. With the
switch placed to TEST, a 28 vdc test signal is also applied to the pilot’s and copilot’s VSI/HSI mode select panels. The
panels provide ground signals to light the mode select switch lights, the VSI advisory lights and the CIS mode select
panel switch light. The BRT/DIM position of the caution/advisory panel BRT/DIM-TEST switch permits changing the
light intensities of all caution, advisory, and warning capsules. When the INSTR LT PILOT FLT control is turned from
OFF, 28 vdc is applied to the caution/advisory panel to enable the light dimming circuit. When the BRT/DIM-TEST
switch is placed to BRT/ DIM, 28 vdc is applied to a dimming logic circuit. The dimming logic circuit applies a ground
to the caution and advisory light dimming circuits to dim all caution/advisory panel capsules. A ground is also applied to
the master caution and master warning light dimming circuits in the caution/advisory panel. These circuits apply ground
outputs to the master warning panel capsules to dim them. A dim control ground is also applied from the caution/advisory
panel to the indicator light dimming and the T-handle light dimming circuits in the LH relay panel and to the flight
control panel and the range extension kit to enable dimming of other helicopter lights. When the BRT/DIM-TEST switch
is placed to BRT/DIM again, or if the 28 vdc input to the switch is removed, the ground output from the dimming logic
circuit is removed, and all caution/advisory panel, master warning panel, and all other helicopter lights that were dimmed
now go on bright. Further dimming of the caution/advisory and master warning panel capsules is provided when night
vision goggles (NVG) are used. When the pilot’s or copilot’s PNL LTS switch is pressed, the following panel indicating
lights are disabled: UH60A UH60L CARGO HOOK EMERG REL, EH60A chaff dispenser control panel ARM light

copilot’s VSIs. The No. 1 engine, No. 2 engine, and APU fire control T-handles may also go to the dim operating mode,
depending on the lighting loads selected when the PNL LTS switch was pressed. Also, when the pilot’s or copilot’s PNL
LTS switch is pressed, a 28 vdc signal is applied to the caution/advisory panel dimming logic circuit to enable the
caution/advisory and master warning dimming circuits. The CAUT/ADVSY NVG use. The MA WRN NVG DIMMING
control, on the instrument panel, can be used to dim the master warning capsules to night vision goggle intensity.
The panel light dimming system will enter an out of synchronization condition if the PNL LTS switch was pressed to
establish NVG conditions and left in that position when the helicopter is shut down. When electrical power is restored to
the helicopter, the caution/advisory panel lights will be bright, while the lower console warning lights will be off. To
restore synchronization, the PNL LTS switch must be pressed and released, followed by removing and then restoring
helicopter electrical power.
The control circuits for distributing input and output signals within the caution/advisory panel are on four channel cards
and one control card. These are designated cards A1 through A5.
Channel Card A1
Channel card A1 contains positive input seeking circuitry that control 27 caution capsules. When a fault is detected by
any of those associated helicopter systems, 28 vdc input is applied to channel card A1. Channel card A1 then supplies a
voltage to the corresponding capsule, causing the capsule lamps to go on. Whenever a caution capsule goes on, an output
from the channel card is also applied (through channel card A4) to light external master caution lights. Master caution
lights remain on until either master caution capsule is reset (pressed) or until the fault that caused the capsule to light is
no longer present. Pressing either master caution capsule provides a reset signal to channel card A4, turning off the master
caution capsules while the caution capsule on the caution/advisory panel will remain on until the fault that caused the
capsule to light is no longer present.
Channel Card A2
Channel card A2 contains positive input seeking circuitry that controls 22 caution capsules and 3 advisory capsule. The
operation of the caution capsule circuitry is identical to channel card A1 caution capsule circuitry. Refer to, CHANNEL
CARD A1, in this work package. The operation of all the advisory capsules (whether controlled by channel cards A2, A3,
or A4) is the same. The advisory capsule will be on whenever the corresponding positive input is present and will
automatically go/be off when the positive input is removed/not present.
Channel Card A3
Channel card A3 contains seven negative (50 ohms or less) input seeking circuits that control seven caution capsules and
13 positive input seeking circuits that control 13 advisory capsules. The operation of caution capsules (5 and 66) is identi-
cal to channel card A1 caution circuitry except that these capsules require a negative (50 ohms or less) input. The opera-
tion of the five remaining caution capsules (21, 33, 42, 74, and 75) is identical to channel card A1 caution circuitry
except that these capsules require a negative (50 ohms or less) input. When the fault is removed, a latched capsule can be
turned off by applying either a master or special reset signal. A master reset occurs when operational power is removed
from the caution/advisory panel for longer than 200 msec. When a master reset is applied, all latched capsules will be off.
A special reset signal is generated when power is removed from the particular system being monitored. With a special
reset applied only the associated capsule resets. One special reset input, resets capsules 33, 74, and 75, from channel card
0026 00-18
TM 1-1520-237-23 0026 00
A3, and capsules 13 and 14, from channel card A4. A second special reset signal only resets capsule 21, while another
special reset signal only resets capsule 42. Caution capsule 33 control circuitry also requires that the negative input be
present for at least 30 seconds before capsule 33 is turned on. The operation of the 13 advisory capsules is identical to
channel card A2 advisory capsule circuitry. Refer to, CHANNEL CARD A2, in this work package.
Channel Card A4
Channel card A4 contains, the four negative input seeking circuits that control four caution capsules (29, 32, 50 and 53),
two negative input seeking circuits (latching type) that control two caution capsules (13 and 14) a flasher circuit and two
positive input seeking circuits that control two caution capsules (1 and 62), and two positive input seeking circuits that
control two advisory capsules (81 and 82) except that these capsules require a negative (50 ohms or less) input. The
operation of caution capsules (13 and 14) is identical to channel card A1 caution circuitry except that these capsules
require a negative (50 ohms or less) input. On panel, 70550-01107-102, caution capsules 13 and 14 also have latching
circuits that remain on, once turned on, and do not go off until reset. Refer to, CHANNEL CARD A1, in this work pack-
age. The operation of caution capsules (1 and 62) is identical to channel A1 caution circuitry except that these capsules
are driven by a flashing circuit, causing the capsules and master warning capsules to flash. The advisory capsules (81 and
82) will be on whenever the corresponding positive input is present and will automatically go/be off when the positive
input is removed/not present.
Card A5 contains the circuits which permit changing the intensity of the capsules on the caution/advisory panel (and on
the external master warning panels) from bright to dim. Two levels of dim intensity are provided. Card A5 contains three
voltage regulators, with a Darlington-pair transistor circuit at the output of each regulator. One half of each Darlington
circuit is on card A5; the other half is chassis mounted. Chassis mounted Q1 is in the return to ground path of the light-
ing circuit for all capsules in the external master warning panel; Q2 is in the return path for all 18 advisory capsules on
the caution/advisory panel; Q3 is in the return path for all 64 caution capsules. In the absence of a dimming enable
signal, each of the three Darlington-pairs conduct full on and provide a low impedance return path to ground for all lamps
in all panels. Therefore, all lamps light at full brightness. When a dimming enable signal is externally applied and the
BRT/DIM - TEST switch S1 is placed to BRT/ DIM, circuit conditions change. Switch S1 applies the enabling signal to
channel card A4 to energize a logic circuit. A ground is then applied to the three voltage regulators on card A5. The
output of the regulations biases the Darlington-pair transistors so that current flow is reduced. With increased resistance in
the lamp return circuits, all capsules light at reduced intensity. To restore their intensity to full brightness, press and
release the BRT/DIM switch. This deenergizes the logic circuit on card A4, removing the ground input signal to the three
voltage regulators. Pressing the BRT/DIM switch energizes the relays, reapplies the ground to the voltage regulations
which control current flow in the Darlington-pair transistors; causing all lights to dim. Card A5 also contains two addi-
tional voltage regulators and three relays for night vision goggle (NVG) lighting. The NVG circuit logic will activate
NVG if a 28 vdc enable is present upon initial power application and is removed. The NVG circuit logic will activate
NVG if a 0 vdc enable is present upon initial power application, and 28 vdc is applied. One voltage regulator controls
current flow in Darlington-pair Q1, which is in the ground return lighting circuit for all capsules in the external master
warning panels. Current flow in Q1 is held to a low level; therefore, lamps on this external panel have a high impedance
in their return path and light at lowest intensity. Variation of the input voltage to the lamps is provided by an external
control. The second voltage regulator on card A5 is used to control current flow in Darlington-pairs Q2 and Q3. With this
circuit arrangement, the lamps in both the advisory and caution capsules of the caution/advisory panel operate at the
identical low intensity. A separate external control is provided to vary the intensity of all 82 lamps on this panel.
For location and description of major components, refer to the data in this work package.

DATA ENTRY
The data for displays are generated external to the MFD. Refer to external sources of display for information on data
entry.
DATA DISPLAY
There are three types of screen displays: IBIT, C/A grid, and main screen. A pulsing asterisk appears in the lower left
corner of all screen displays, to indicate the MFD is operating.
The IBIT screen presents various Initiated Built-in Test (IBIT) displays to test operation of the MFD. The C/A grid screen
presents caution and/or advisory (C/A) notices and a LAND ASAP alert. Table 2 lists the caution and advisory notices.
Also, Table 2 indicates the caution requirements for the LAND ASAP abort. The main screen presents data to operate the
0027 00-25
TM 1-1520-237-23 0027 00
aircraft. These data are flight plan and flight data, attitude, hover, communication, navigation, and forward-looking
infrared (FLIR) displays. The main screen (Figure 1) is divided into header, flight, central, and popup areas.
The header area is used to display communication and navigation data, selected respectively by the COMM and NAV
switches. The flight area is used to display flight data, selected by the FLT switch. The central area is used to display at-
titude, hover, flight plan, and forward-looking infrared data, selected respectively by the ATT, HOV, FP, and FLIR
switches. The Slipup area provides a quick-alert area for display of caution and advisory notices.

DISPLAY ORGANIZATION
The displays are organized for switch selection at the MFD and response to external signals. Table 3 indicates the
relationships of switches to displays. For example in Table 3, when the ON-OFF switch is first set to ON, the C/A Grid
(Figure 4) is displayed without part number. Then, if switch T2 is pressed, the part number is displayed. When the C/A
switch is pressed, the C/A Grid is displayed with caution and advisory indications (Figure 4).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
This section contains general information for the ac electrical systems, interior and exterior lighting systems, windshield
anti-ice system, fire detection system, flight instruments, engine instruments, miscellaneous instruments and
EH60A mission electrical interface. Each description contains the function of the system and system theory of opera-
tion. Operating controls for the systems described are on the upper console (Figure 1, Sheets 1, 2, and 3). Circuit break-
ers for these systems are located on the various circuit breakers panels.
The ac electrical system consists of primary ac power, auxiliary ac power, and external ac power (Figure 2). Primary ac
power is provided by two independent generating systems, each consisting of a brushless generator, generator control unit,
current transformer, and generator control switch. Auxiliary ac power is provided by a single generating system consisting
of a brushless generator, generator control unit, current transformer, and generator control switch. External ac power is
supplied to the helicopter through an external power receptacle. It is controlled by an external power monitor panel, and
external power switch. AC power is distributed to the helicopter buses from the generating systems and external ac source
through a series of contactors and relays. The system interfaces with the caution/advisory warning system where caution
and advisory capsules monitor the electrical systems operation and status.
When the generator three-phase output rises above 124 to 126 vac, the over voltage protection circuit senses this and,
after a marginal time delay period to prevent nuisance trips, disables and disconnects the generator from ac loads. The
length of time the over voltage condition is permitted to exist is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the over volt-
age condition.
When any single-phase voltage drops below 95 to 105 vac, the under-voltage protection circuit senses this and initially
provides a marginal time delay period to prevent nuisance trips. If the voltage remains low for 5 to 7 seconds, the protec-
tion circuit disables and disconnects the generator from the ac loads.
If the amount of current flow in the generator feeder lines differs from that in the generator main windings as monitored
by two sets of current transformers, the difference probably results from a leakage path to ground. The feeder fault
protection circuit senses this differential current and immediately disables and disconnects the affected generator from the
ac loads.
During ground operations, if the frequency of phase C of the permanent magnet generator drops below 1110 to 1130 Hz
(equivalent to 370 to 380 Hz from main generator), the under-frequency protection circuit senses this and initially
provides a marginal time delay to prevent nuisance trips. If the under-frequency condition is sustained for a period of 1 to
3 seconds, the protection circuit disables and disconnects the generator from the ac loads. Should the frequency rise to the
acceptable level and 12 Hz (4 Hz from main generator) above the dropout frequency, the generator is automatically

reenergized and reconnected to the ac loads. During flight operations, the under-frequency protection circuits in the No. 1
and No. 2 generator control units are intentionally disabled through action of the landing gear drag beam switch.
W/O ESSS The left drag beam switch provides under-frequency disable signal. ESSS The right drag beam switch
provides the under-frequency disable signal.
Generator outputs are connected to their associated generator control units and the ac primary bus contactors by the three-
position control switches on the upper console (GENERATORS No. 1, No. 2, and APU). The ON position energizes the
associated GCU relay circuitry and the associated ac contactor to connect the generator main output to the primary buses.
The TEST position disconnects the main output from the buses, but allows the GCU to control the generator output so
that output can be monitored at the test connector. OFF/RESET either deenergizes the generator or permits generator
recycling if the generator is disabled and disconnected from its loads. The control switch is manually positioned to
RESET and then back to ON.

tactor, APU/external power contactor, current transformer, test receptacle, ac current limiters CL1, CL2, and CL3, K12
blade deice on relay, and diodes CR22 and CR23.
Generator Contactors
The No. 1 and No. 2 generator contactors, on the No. 1 and No. 2 junction boxes, respectively, provide connections from
the No. 1 and No. 2 generator three-phase feeder lines to the No. 1 and No. 2 ac primary buses for distribution of ac
power. With the generator control switches placed ON, dc voltage from the generator control units is applied through the
control switches to energize the generator contactor solenoids. Energized auxiliary contacts of No. 1 or No. 2 generator
contactors complete the voltage path to the No. 2 hydraulic logic module when backup pump operation is required. Two
sets of normally open contacts provide dual generators on voltages to the blade deicing system. EH60A Dual generators
on voltage is also applied to the environmental control system and to the ac secondary bus contactor.
When de-energized, auxiliary contacts of the contactors complete the dc voltage path to energize the ac bus tie contactor.
This applies APU generator ac power or external ac power, through the de-energized main contacts of the generator con-
tactors to the ac primary buses. The de-energized main contacts also provide a path to transfer power from a working
generator to the ac primary bus of a failed generator. Deenergized power, through the de-energized main contacts of the
generator contactors to the ac primary buses. The de-energized main contacts also provide a path to transfer power from a

complete the dc voltage paths to the caution/advisory #1 GEN and #2 GEN capsules . UH-60Q HH-60L De-energized
auxiliary contacts complete the dc voltage paths to the pilot’s and copilot’s MFDs #1 GEN and #2 GEN legends.
Another set of normally closed contacts provide a dual generators off voltage to the blade de-icing system.

With external ac power connected to the helicopter and the EXT PWR switch placed ON, the ac bus tie contactor
solenoid is energized. If receives dc voltage from the external power monitor panel through the deenergized auxiliary
contacts of the No. 1 and No. 2 generator contactors. The energized main contacts of the ac bus tie contactor provide a
connection from the external ac power receptacle to the ac primary buses.
Auxiliary energized contacts of the ac bus tie contactor complete the voltage path to the No. 2 hydraulic logic module
when backup pump operation is required. Additional sets of normally open and normally closed contacts provide addi-
tional logic to the hydraulic system and the blade deicing system. EH60A Another set of energized auxiliary contacts
provides a path to energize the secondary bus contactor when auxiliary power is required.
In normal system operation the backup pump is off and the back-up pump interlock relay K80 is deenergized. Normally
closed contacts provide a path to energize the ac secondary bus contactor during ground operation or with the APU off.
When deenergized, normally closed contacts of the generators on relay provide a path to energize the ac secondary bus
contactor when auxiliary power is required.
When the helicopter weight is on wheels and the secondary bus ground power control relay is deenergized, normally
closed contacts provide a path to energize the ac secondary bus contactor for ground testing and troubleshooting. Another
set of normally closed contacts provide logic for the environmental control system.

energize relay K12. If the blade deice system is being operated, power is routed through the deice control panel
POWER-ON switch, through diode CR22 on the No. 2 junction box, to energize relay K12.
Relay K12 is deenergized with the deice control panel POWER switch placed OFF. Normally closed contacts of deener-
gized relay K12 provide a path to energize the ac secondary bus contactor when auxiliary power is required.
The ac secondary bus contactor, on the No. 1 junction box, supplies three phase ac primary, external, or auxiliary electri-
cal power to the ac secondary bus. The ac secondary bus contactor contains two normally open sets of contacts, each
energized separately. Solenoid X1, through its associated contactors, provides a connection between the No. 1 primary bus
and the ac secondary bus. Solenoid Y1, through its associated contactors, provides a connection between the APU genera-
tor and the ac secondary bus.
AC secondary bus contactor solenoid X1 is energized with both No. 1 and No. 2 generators on. Twenty-eight vdc from
the SEC MON BUS CONTR circuit breaker, on the No. 2 dc primary bus, is applied through energized contacts of No. 1
and No. 2 generator contactors and blocking diode CR17 to energize solenoid X1. If one generator is turned off, solenoid
X1 is energized if the backup pump is off. Twenty-eight vdc from the SEC MON BUS CONTR circuit breaker is applied
through blocking diode CR18 and normally closed contacts of deenergized backup pump interlock relay to energize
solenoid X1.
With both No. 1 and No. 2 generators off and the helicopter weight-on-wheels switch engaged, ac secondary bus contac-
tor solenoid X1 is energized with external power applied or with the APU on, if the backup pump is off. With external
power applied, dc voltage to energize solenoid X1 is supplied by the external power monitor panel, through the upper
console EXT PWR switch, and a blocking diode in the right relay panel. With the APU generator operating, dc voltage to
energize solenoid X1 is supplied by the APU generator control unit, through the upper console GENERATOR APU
switch, and a blocking diode in the right relay panel. From the right relay panel, voltage to energize solenoid X1 follows
a common path for ground operation. From the right relay panel, voltage is routed through normally closed contacts of
deenergized No. 1 and No. 2 generator contactors, secondary bus ground power control relay, and backup pump interlock
relay, to energize solenoid X1.
AC secondary bus contactor solenoid Y1 is energized with either, but not both, No. 1 and No. 2 generators on, the APU
generator on, the hydraulic backup pump on, and blade deice off. From the SEC MON BUS CONTR circuit breaker, dc
voltage is routed through contacts of deenergized ac bus tie contactor, contacts of energized APU/external power contac-
tor, contacts of deenergized generators on relay, contacts of energized backup pump interlock relay, and contacts of deen-
ergized blade deice on relay, to energize solenoid Y1 and provide auxiliary power to the ac secondary bus.
Current Transformers
Three current transformers, one on the No. 1 junction box and two on the No. 2 junction box, are installed in the output
legs of each generator to monitor generator output current and to detect feeder faults. Each current transformer consists of
three individual windings, one winding on each of the generator feeder lines. The current transformers are connected in
series with current limit sense circuits within each generator. As the output current of the generator increases during
transient load conditions, the increased current through the transformer is sensed by the generator control unit. This
decreases the generator exciter control field and the generator output current. When a feeder fault (short circuit to ground)
occurs between the generator and the generator contactor, a differential current develops between the current transformer
windings and the current limit sense circuit in the generator. This current difference is sensed by the generator control unit
and disables and disconnects the generator from its loads.
Current Limiters
Current limiters CL1 through CL3, on the No. 2 junction box, and CL4 through CL6, on the No. 1 junction box, are 60
ampere fuses protecting the operating generator from excessive overloading during transfer operations. The current limit-
ers are affected when one generator is used to carry both ac primary buses, permitting the loss of one or more phases of
ac while the remaining phase or phases remain on-line. Current limiters CL1 through CL3 carry three-phase ac power
0028 00-11
TM 1-1520-237-23 0028 00
from the No. 2 generator to the No. 1 ac primary bus in case of a No. 1 generator failure. Current limiters CL4 through
CL6 carry three-phase ac power from the No. 1 generator to the No. 2 ac primary bus in case of a No. 2 generator
failure.
EH60A Three 20-ampere secondary bus current limiters, CL16, CL17, and CL18, carry 115 vac power to the interface
panel from the ac secondary bus contactor. Secondary bus current limiters CL16 through CL18 are in the No. 1 junction
box.
Test Receptacles
The No. 1 generator test receptacle, on the No. 1 junction box, and the No. 2 and APU generator test receptacles, on the
No. 2 junction box, are provided for monitoring generator three-phase ac output. The generator three-phase ac output is
applied to the test receptacle when the generator control switch is placed to ON or TEST.
UH60A UH-60L UH-60Q HH-60L The AC essential bus XFR relay, on the pilot’s circuit breaker panel provides connec-
tion of 115 vac, B phase power to the ac essential bus. EH60A The ac essential bus circuit breaker panel provides
connection of 115 vac, B phase power to the ac essential bus. The relay solenoid is energized by 115 vac, B phase
power from No. 1 ac primary bus. When energized, the relay applies 115 vac, B phase power from the No. 1 ac primary
bus to the ac essential bus. If there is a loss of B phase power on the No. 1 ac primary bus, the ac essential bus relay is
deenergized, and 115 vac, B phase power from the No. 2 ac primary bus is applied through the deenergized contacts to
the ac essential bus.
UH60A UH-60L UH-60Q HH-60L The ac essential bus fail relay, on the pilot’s circuit breaker panel is energized
whenever there is power on the ac essential bus. EH60A The ac essential bus circuit breaker panel is energized
whenever there is power on the ac essential bus. If this power is lost, the relay is deenergized and its deenergized
contacts complete the dc voltage path from the battery bus to light the caution/advisory panel AC ESS BUS OFF capsule.
The external power receptacle, on the front right-hand cabin, permits three-phase ac power from an external power cart to
be applied to the helicopter electrical system during ground operations. The receptacle contains four pins for the applica-
tion of power and two additional pins which are jumpered in the external power cart plug, forming an interlock when the
external power cart is connected. The jumpered pins complete the path for applying battery bus voltage to light the
EH-60A UH-60A UH-60L caution/advisory panel EXT PWR CONNECTED capsule UH-60Q HH-60L pilot’s and
copilot’s MFDs EXT PWR CONNECTED legend.
The external power monitor panel, on the upper right-hand cabin, monitors the external ac input for under-voltage, over
voltage, under-frequency, over frequency, and correct phase rotation conditions. During external power application, if the
monitor panel requirements are not met, external power is disconnected from the helicopter distribution system. It remains
disconnected until the EXT PWR switch is positioned to RESET.
When external power drops below 100 to 105 vac, the power monitor panel under-voltage protection circuit senses this
and initially provides a marginal time delay to prevent nuisance trips. If the voltage remains low for 0.85 to 2.55 seconds,
the protection circuit opens the monitor panel output circuit. With the output circuit open, dc voltage to the ac bus tie
contactor is removed and external power cannot be used.
0028 00-12
TM 1-1520-237-23 0028 00
When external power rises above 125 to 130 vac, the over voltage protection circuit senses this. After a marginal time
delay of 0.75 and 1.25 seconds, to prevent nuisance trips, it disconnects external power as in the under-voltage condition.
The length of time the over voltage condition is permitted to exist is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the over
voltage condition.
When external power frequency drops below 370 to 375 Hz, the under-frequency protection circuit senses this and
provides a time delay to prevent nuisance trips. If the frequency remains low for 0.75 to 1.25 seconds, the protection
circuit disconnects external power as in the under-voltage condition.
When external power frequency rises above 425 to 430 Hz, the over frequency sensing circuit senses this and provides a
time delay to prevent nuisance trips. If the frequency remains high for 0.75 to 1.25 seconds, the protection circuit discon-
nects external power as in the under-voltage condition.
When external power phase rotation (normal A-B-C) is incorrect, the phase rotation sensing circuit senses this and does
not close the monitor panel output circuit. With the output circuit open, dc voltage is not applied to the ac bus tie contac-
tor, and external power usage is not possible.
The external power control switch, on the upper console, is a three-position switch used to apply external power to the
helicopter ac buses. The ON position completes the dc voltage path to energize the ac bus tie contactor to apply ac
external power to the ac buses. The RESET position closes the external power monitor panel output circuit to reconnect
external power to the ac buses if it had been disconnected as a result of an under-voltage, over voltage, under-frequency,
or over frequency condition. The OFF position opens the dc voltage path to deenergize the ac bus tie contactor and
remove external power from the ac buses.
The interface panel contains a three-phase ac power jack marked J511 AC PWR which supplies 115 vac. Another power
jack, marked J958R ASN132, supplies single-phase, 26 vac power.
The ECM antenna system is composed of both aircraft and mission equipment. Power to operate the system is provided
from the No. 1 DC PRI BUS through the Q/F EQUIP PWR circuit breaker to connector J510 on the mission interface
panel. Operator control of the system is provided by the ECM ANTENNA switch located on the center section of the
instrument panel. It is a three-position, spring-loaded to OFF, toggle switch. The switch is momentarily placed in the
RETRACT or EXTEND position to either fully retract or fully extend the ECM antenna. The retract or extend signal
(ground) routes through mission interface connector J970R to the mission equipment relay assembly. Relay contacts in the
mission relay assembly and limit switch contacts in the aircraft ECM antenna actuator assembly control mechanical
movement of the antenna and provide system status signals.
The linear actuator assembly, a component of the ECM antenna actuator assembly, converts electrical energy to mechani-
cal motion. It operates a clevis pivot in the ECM antenna actuator assembly to position the ECM antenna in the retracted
or extended position.
The instrument panel caution/advisory panel ANTENNA RETRACTED capsule is turned on when the ECM antenna is in
the fully retracted position. The ANTENNA EXTENDED capsule is controlled by relay and switch contacts that monitor
inputs from the copilot’s radar altimeter. The capsule is turned on if the ECM antenna is not fully retracted and the
altimeter is not installed, has lost power, or is not turned on. It also lights if the antenna is not fully retracted and the
helicopter descends below the altimeter’s LO bug setting. It does not light during normal operation. An ANTENNA
EXTENDED lamp on the mission operators ECM indicator panel does light when the antenna is fully extended during
normal operations. The mission equipment relay assembly and ECM antenna actuator assembly limit switches also
provide an enable signal to the turnable coupler when the ECM antenna is fully extended.
0028 00-13
TM 1-1520-237-23 0028 00
The lower IFF antenna (avionics equipment) is installed on the bottom of the ECM antenna actuator assembly. Its cable is
routed through the ECM antenna actuator assembly to an interface connector at the top of the assembly. The IFF antenna
is functionally unrelated to the ECM antenna system.
Mission equipment three-phase, 115 vac power is supplied to mission interface panel connector J511 and 26 vac power is
supplied to the mission interface panel connector J958R from either the No. 1 generator, No. 2 generator, APU generator,
or from an external source. Circuits within the helicopter ac system connect the 115 and 26 vac power source to the mis-
sion interface panel according to a predetermined priority. EH60A Refer to the ac electrical system description paragraph
1.10. for a description of power source priority. In addition to power source priority, loads on the ac electrical system
determine the conditions under which ac power is applied to the mission interface panel. Power is applied under these
conditions:
Power is removed from the mission interface panel when the blade deicing system and hydraulic backup pump are on and
both No. 1 and No. 2 generators are not on.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Primary ac power is supplied by the No. 1 and No. 2 ac generators (Figures 1, 2, and 3). Under normal operating condi-
tions, with both generators operating and their outputs acceptable, the No. 1 generator supplies the No. 1 ac primary bus
and the No. 2 generator supplies the No. 2 ac primary bus. Both generators are protected from overload by 60 amp cur-
rent limiters. EH60A UH-60A UH-60L If the No. 2 generator output is not acceptable, or if the generator is off, or if the
associated contactor is not working, the #2 GEN capsule on the caution/advisory panel will light and both ac primary
buses (No. 1 and No. 2) will be supplied from the No. 1 generator. Similarly, if the No. 1 generator output is not accept-
able, or if the associated contactor is not working, generator is off, or if the associated contactor is not working, the #1
GEN capsule on the caution/advisory panel will light and both ac primary buses (No. 1 and No. 2) will be supplied from
the No. 2 generator. UH-60Q HH-60L If the No. 2 generator output is not acceptable, or if the generator is off, or if
the associated contactor is not working, the #2 GEN legend on the pilot’s and copilot’s MFDs legend will light and both
ac primary buses (No. 1 and No. 2) will be supplied from the No. 1 generator. Similarly, if the No. 1 generator output is
not acceptable, or if the generator is off, or if the associated contactor is not working, the #1 GEN legend on the pilot and
copilot MFDs will light and both ac primary buses (No. 1 and No. 2) will be supplied from the No. 2 generator. The
ac essential bus is normally supplied with B phase power from the No. 1 ac primary bus. If No. 1 ac primary bus B
phase power is not available, the ac essential bus is supplied from B phase of the No. 2 ac primary bus.
UH-60Q UH-60A UH-60L If no power is present on the ac essential bus, the AC ESS BUS OFF capsule on the caution/
advisory panel will light. UH-60Q HH-60L If no power is present on the ac essential bus, the AC ESS BUS OFF
legend on the pilot and copilot MFDs will light. UH60A UH60L The No. 1 ac primary bus also supplies power to a
60 Hz converter (provisional) for two power receptacles. UH-60Q HH-60L The No. 1 ac primary bus also supplies
power to a 60 Hz converter for one power receptacle.
With the No. 1 and No. 2 generators operating and their outputs at rated value, the No. 1 and No. 2 generator contactors
K1 and K2 are energized. The No. 1 and No. 2 generator outputs are applied through the main contacts of K1 and K2 to
supply the No. 1 and No. 2 ac primary buses, respectively. The No. 1 ac primary bus supplies 115 vac, B phase power
through the AC ESNTL BUS SPLY circuit breaker to energize K8 AC ESNTL BUS XFR relay K8. With K8 energized,
115 vac, B phase power from the No. 1 ac primary bus is applied through the energized contacts of K8 to supply the ac
essential bus.
If one generator fails due to overvoltage, undervoltage, or feeder fault, the generator is disabled and the associated ac
generator contactor deenergizes to disconnect the generator from its loads. When this occurs, the operating generator will
supply both ac primary buses. If the No. 1 generator fails, the No. 2 generator supplies the No. 1 ac primary bus through
current limiters and the normally closed main contacts of No. 1 generator contactor K1. If the No. 2 generator fails, the
No. 1 generator supplies the No. 2 ac primary bus through current limiters and the normally closed main contacts of ac
bus tie contactor K4 and No. 2 generator contactor K2. The 60 amp current limiters protect the operating generator from
too much overloading as a result of a feeder fault that may have disabled the failed generator. If there is a loss of B phase
power on the No. 1 ac primary bus, K8 AC ESNTL BUS XFR relay K8 will deenergize. When this occurs, 115 vac, B
phase power from the No. 2 ac primary bus will be applied through the AC ESNTL BUS SPLY circuit breaker and the
normally closed contacts of relay K8, to supply the ac essential bus. If no power is available on the ac essential bus, K13
AC ESNTL BUS FAIL relay K13 will deenergize. This closes the path between the battery bus and the caution/advisory
panel AC ESS BUS OFF capsule, and the capsule will go on.
EH60A With No. 1 and No. 2 generators operating and their outputs at rated value, three-phase ac primary power is ap-
plied to the interface panel ac secondary bus (J511 ac power connector) from the No. 1 ac primary bus. Power is supplied

to the ac secondary bus through contacts of energized No. 1 generator contactor, contacts of energized ac secondary bus
contactor K11, and secondary bus current limiters. If either generator fails, the operating generator supplies three-phase
primary power to the ac secondary bus if emergency hydraulic backup pump operation is not selected. Power is applied
through contacts of the energized operating generator contactor, contacts of the deenergized failed generator contactor,
contacts of energized ac secondary bus contactor K11, and secondary bus current limiters, to the interface panel.
POWER GENERATION
Operation of the No. 1, No. 2, and APU generating systems is identical. With the generators driven at rated speed, the
permanent magnet generator (PMG) section of each generator supplies ac voltage to the PMG rectifier of the associated
generator control unit (GCU). The ac voltage is rectified and used as supply voltage for the GCU circuitry. When the No.
1, No. 2, or APU GENERATORS switch is placed ON, the voltage regulator section of the GCU controls the current flow
to the exciter field of the generator, and the generator main output builds up. This output is monitored by the GCU and
when it reaches at least 95 vac at a frequency of between 370 and 380 Hz, power-ready sensing circuitry connects it to its
loads. For each generator system, the main AC output and the primary DC bus output can be monitored at a test connec-
tor located on the associated junction box. With the generator switch at TEST, the generator main output is disconnected
from the ac primary bus. EH60A UH-60A UH-60L With all generators running, the #1 and #2 GEN capsules go off, and
the APU GEN ON capsule goes on . UH-60Q HH-60L With all generators running, the #1 and #2 GEN legends go
off, and the APU GEN ON legend goes on.
The No. 1 and No. 2 oil-cooled, brushless generators, mounted on the left and right accessory modules of the main gear
box, are driven whenever the main rotor head is turning. Each generator, rated at 30/45 KVA at 115/200 volts, is con-
nected for a 4-wire output, with grounded neutral, furnishing three-phase alternating current. The generator drive shaft is
normally driven at about 12,000 RPM to maintain an output frequency of 400 Hz. The generator output voltage is
regulated by a voltage regulator within the generator control unit, which varies the exciter control field.
The No. 1 and No. 2 generators, driven by the left and right accessory gear box modules, respectively, are oil-spray
cooled brushless generators rated at 30/45 KVA at 115/200 vac, three-phase. The APU generator, driven by the APU
turbine engine, is an air-cooled brushless generator rated at 20/30 KVA at 115/200 vac, three-phase. Each generator output
is controlled by its generator control unit (GCU). The GCU contains sensing circuits to disconnect the generator from its
respective loads when an overvoltage, undervoltage, underfrequency, or feeder-fault condition occurs.
With the left and right accessory gear box modules driving the generators at rated speed, each generator’s 12-pole
permanent magnet generator (PMG) applies three-phase ac voltage to the PMG rectifier in the generator control unit
(GCU). The PMG rectifier rectifies and filters the ac voltage and applies a dc voltage to the No. 1 and No. 2 GENERA-
TORS switches and to a regulated dc power supply that supplies the GCU sensing circuits. When the generator control
switch is placed ON, the dc voltage from the PMG rectifier is routed through AND gates 13 and 3. With no inhibit signal
from OR gate 1, gate 3 is enabled, energizing generator control relay (GCR) K1. Energizing the GCR routes PMG power
from the PMG rectifier to the voltage regulator, and also energizes the generator exciter control field. The exciter is
rotated in the magnetic field produced by the exciter control field, thereby producing three-phase ac voltages that are ap-
plied to diode rectifiers. A flywheel diode across the exciter control field input in the GCU allows the field to collapse
rapidly, increasing response from the voltage regulator. The positive half cycle of each phase of the exciter voltage
activates one of the diodes and causes a continuous flow of current in the rotating field. This moving field causes a volt-
age to be induced in the main generator winding, which supplies a three-phase ac output voltage.
The same dc voltage that is applied to GCU AND gates 13 and 3 through the ON position of the generator control switch
is also applied to AND gates 7 and 8. AND gate 7 receives a second inhibiting input from OR gate 6, which senses an
underfrequency or overvoltage condition from the respective sensing circuits. The voltage sensing circuit monitors the
main generator’s three-phase output for deviations in voltage from specified limits. The frequency sensing circuit monitors
0029 00-8
TM 1-1520-237-23 0029 00
one of the three PMG voltages for frequency deviations. With no underfrequency, undervoltage, or overvoltage condition
present, no inhibit signal is passed through OR gate 6. As a result, gate 7 is enabled and senses a power ready condition.
With gate 7 satisfied, a signal through OR gate 9 satisfies one half of AND gate 11. With no signal from OR gate 2 or
TD3 through OR gate 12, gate 11 is satisfied and the contactor control relay (CCR) K2 energizes. With the CCR
energized, the logic 0 is removed from AND gates 8 and 4 and dc voltage from the PMG rectifier is applied through the
contacts of No. 2 and No. 1 GENERATORS switches to energize No. 2 and No. 1 generator contactors K2 and K1,
respectively. EH60A UH-60A UH-60L Energizing the CCR also opens the path between the No. 2 dc primary bus and the
caution/advisory panel #2 GEN capsule, and between the No. 1 dc primary bus and the caution/advisory panel #1 GEN
capsule. The capsules then go off. UH-60Q HH-60L Energizing the CCR also opens the path between the No. 2 dc
primary bus and the pilot’s and copilot’s MFDs #2 GEN legends, and between the No. 1 dc primary bus and the MFD #1
GEN legend. The legends then go off.
The main generator is protected from transient current overloads and feeder faults. The current monitoring circuit consists
of a current transformer, on the generator’s feeder lines to the generator contactor, and an internal generator current
limiter circuit. Current limiting is performed by the current transformer, connected in series with the current limit circuit
within the generator, to regulate the output voltage. As the load causes the current from the main generator to increase,
the induced voltage in the current transformer windings increases proportionately to the load current. The GCU monitors
this induced voltage and regulates the field current of the main generator. When the current from the current transformer
winding is at the preset value, the GCU reduces the current in the exciter control field, thereby causing less voltage to be
generated by the exciter. This action reduces the dc current through the rotating field, thereby lowering the induced volt-
age in the main generator. Less output results in a reduction of current in the field of the main generator, thereby return-
ing the output current to the preset value. Under normal operation, the current flowing through the two current
transformer windings around the main generator output are equal and out-of-phase, resulting in zero differential current. If
a feeder fault (short circuit to ground) should occur, an unbalance condition is developed, producing a differential current
in the current transformer loop. This differential current is sensed by the GCU feeder fault sensing circuit, which applies a
signal directly to OR gate 2. The signal is routed through OR gate 2, through OR gate 1, to AND gate 3, inhibiting AND
gate 3. With AND gate 3 inhibited, CGR relay K1 trips, and the generator is deenergized. The same signal from OR gate
2 inhibits gate 11 through gate 12, to immediately open CCR relay K2. EH60A UH-60A UH-60L The generator’s load is
disconnected and the caution/advisory panel #1 GEN or #2 GEN capsule goes on. </applic> UH-60Q HH-60L The
generator’s load is disconnected and the pilot’s and copilot’s MFDs #1 GEN or #2 GEN legend goes on. The output
of OR gate 2 is also applied to AND gate 13, through TD5, back into OR gate 2, causing OR gate 2 output to be continu-
ous. The GCR and CCR relays cannot release until the signal to AND gate 13 is removed by placing the generator
control switch to OFF/RESET.
If an overvoltage condition is sensed, a trip signal is developed through inverse time delay TD1; the greater the overvolt-
age, the shorter the time delay. This trip signal is applied to OR gate 2 and the GCR and CCR relays open as described
above.
If an undervoltage condition is sensed, a GCR trip signal is developed through fixed time delay TD2 to OR gate 2, caus-
ing the GCR and CCR relays to open. At the same time an undervoltage is sensed, gate 7 is inhibited through gate 6.
Thus, if you cycle the generator control switch from OFF/RESET to ON, the generator is energized, but the CCR relay is
not allowed to close and apply the underfrequency, undervoltage or overvoltage condition onto the load bus. The CCR
relay closes only when the frequency and voltage become acceptable again.
If an underfrequency condition is sensed (during ground operation), it produces a trip signal through fixed time delay TD3
to OR gate 1. The signal from OR gate 1 inhibits gate 3, opening the GCR relay, thereby deenergizing the generator. The
signal from TD3 also causes the CCR relay to open by inhibiting AND gate 11 via OR gate 12. When the CCR relay
opens, a logic 0 inhibit signal is applied to AND gate 4. When the frequency is again within limits, the inhibit at gate 3 is
removed and the GCR relay closes again. The input to AND gate 11 is not satisfied until the underfrequency inhibit signal
at gate 7 through gate 6 disappears. This occurs when the power ready signal has been restored. When the frequency is
0029 00-9
TM 1-1520-237-23 0029 00
within limits, the CCR relay again closes, energizing the bus load. During flight, with the helicopter’s weight-off-wheels,
the landing gear drag beam switch is closed. This applies a ground to the underfrequency sensing circuit, disabling it.
W/O ESSS The left drag beam switch provides the underfrequency disable signal. ESSS The right drag beam
switch provides the underfrequency disable signal. Thus, the generator will not be deenergized and disconnected from its
load during an autorotative flare, when generator frequency decreases.

caution/advisory panel indication is given. UH-60Q HH-60L Too much wear of the generator main bearing is detected
during generator operation and a pilot’s and copilot’s MFDs indication is given. When the main bearing is worn a
predetermined amount, a detector ring with a sensing lead contacts the outer race of the generator auxiliary bearing,
grounding the sensing lead. EH60A UH-60A UH-60L The ground is applied from the generator to the caution/advisory

The No. 1 ac primary bus supplies 115 vac. B phase power, through the AC ESNTL BUS SPLY circuit breaker, to the
coil and contacts of ac essential bus XFR relay K8. With relay K8 energized, the 115 vac, B phase power is supplied to
the ac essential bus. The ac essential bus applies 115 vac, B phase power to an autotransformer that supplies 26 vac to
navigation instrument loads. When the generator control switch is placed to TEST, system operation is the same as for the
ON position, except that generator contactors K1 and K2 remain de-energized and GCU test relay K3 is energized. With

The APU air-cooled, brushless generator, mounted on the APU, is driven whenever the APU is operating. The generator,
rated at 20/30 KVA at 115/200 volts, is connected for a 4-wire Wye output, with grounded neutral, furnishing three-phase
alternating current. The generator drive shaft is normally driven at about 12,000 RPM to maintain an output frequency of
400 Hz. The generator output voltage is regulated by a voltage regulator within the generator control unit which varies
the exciter control field. The generator is cooled by drawing air in at the front end and exhausting it at the drive end.
The No. 1 and No. 2 generators, driven by the left and right accessory gear box modules, respectively, are oil-spray
cooled brushless generators rated at 30/45 KVA at 115/200 vac, three-phase. The APU generator, driven by the APU
turbine engine, is an air-cooled brushless generator rated at 20/30 KVA at 115/200 vac, three-phase. Each generator output
is controlled by its generator control unit (GCU). The GCU contains sensing circuits to disconnect the generator from its
respective loads when an overvoltage, undervoltage, underfrequency, or feeder-fault condition occurs.
Auxiliary ac power is supplied by the APU generator. When the No. 1 and No. 2 ac generators are off and the APU
generator output is acceptable, the APU generator supplies the No. 1 and No. 2 ac primary buses.

With the No. 1, No. 2, and APU generators off, a source of external ac power can be connected to supply the helicopter
buses. When a source of 115 vac, three-phase power is connected to the ac external power receptacle and the battery is
installed in the helicopter, dc voltage from the battery bus is applied through the power receptacle and jumpered pins in
the external power cart plug. EH60A UH-60A UH-60L This lights the caution/advisory panel EXT PWR CONNECTED
capsule. UH-60Q HH-60L This lights the pilot’s and copilot’s MFDs EXT PWR CONNECTED legends. The
external power is monitored for proper phase rotation, voltage, and frequency by the external power monitor panel. When
external power is acceptable, the monitor panel provides a dc output voltage. When you place the EXT PWR switch ON,
the monitor panel dc voltage is applied through the switch. It goes through a blocking diode and the normally closed

No. 1 ac primary bus is supplied through current limiters and the normally closed main contacts of contactor K1. If an
overvoltage, undervoltage, overfrequency, or underfrequency fault occurs, the external power monitor panel dc output
circuit opens; the ac bus tie contactor K4 will be deenergized; and the external ac power will be disconnected from the
helicopter buses. When the fault is corrected, external power can be reconnected to the buses if you place the EXT PWR

rectifier is applied through the TEST position of the switch to light the caution/advisory panel APU GEN ON capsule.
EH60A With both the No. 1 and No. 2 generators off and the APU generator on, the APU generator supplies auxiliary

EH60A With either the No. 1 or No. 2 generators on, the APU generators on, and the backup pump on, the APU sup-
plies auxiliary power to the ac secondary bus if blade deice is not on. Under these conditions, ac electrical power is sup-

EXTERNAL POWER OPERATION
With the No. 1, No. 2, and APU generators OFF, an external power source can be connected to supply all ac buses. A

its associated caution/advisory capsules. UH-60Q HH-60L The battery system consists of a lead acid battery, battery
relay, battery switch, and its associated MFD/caution/advisory legends. DC power is distributed to the helicopter buses
through a series of contactors and relays. The primary dc system supplies electrical power to the No. 1 and No. 2 dc
primary buses, the dc essential bus, and the battery bus. EH60A Primary dc electrical power is also supplied to the dc

normally supplied by the No. 1 dc primary bus. If there is no power on the No. 1 dc primary bus, the dc essential bus is
supplied by the No. 2 dc primary bus. With the dc essential bus supplied from either the No. 1 or No. 2 dc primary bus,
the battery bus is supplied from the dc essential bus. UH60A UH60L The No. 1 and No. 2 primary bus also supplies
power to a cabin utility receptacle and a command console power receptacle.
EH60A Provide additional dc outputs to power associated quick fix equipment. Power for the dc monitor bus is sup-
plied by the No. 2 dc primary bus. The dc monitor bus supplies power to a cabin utility receptacle. The mission interface
panel has two dc power output jacks. J510 receives dc power from the No. 1 dc primary bus. J512 receives dc power
from the No. 2 dc primary bus through current limiter CL10. Contactors associated with the dc monitor bus and connec-
tor J512 remove power if a converter fails.
77-27714-96-26722 The battery is connected directly to and always supplies the battery utility bus. When both convert-
ers are off and the battery switch is ON, the battery also supplies the battery bus and the battery bus supplies the dc es-
sential bus. Battery temperature and percent of charge are continuously monitored by the battery analyzer/conditioner. If a
battery over temperature or overcharge condition occurs, the BATTERY FAULT capsule on the caution/advisory panel
will light. If the battery is less than 40% charged, the BATT LOW CHARGE capsule will light. If the battery charge
drops below 35%, the dc essential bus will be dropped and the DC ESS BUS OFF capsule will light.

light.
UH-60Q HH-60L The battery is connected directly to and always supplies the battery utility bus. When both converters
are off and the battery switch is ON, the battery also supplies the battery bus and the battery bus supplies the dc essential

light. The battery charging is done via relay K200 when either converter is on line and the battery switch is on.
CONVERTERS
The No. 1 converter, on the upper left-hand cabin, and the No. 2 converter, on the upper right-hand cabin, provide dc
power for helicopter equipment. The converters operate from 115/200 vac, three-phase, 400 Hz power and provide outputs
of 31 vdc at no load to 25 vdc at 200 amperes. The converters are cooled by internal fans.
JUNCTION BOXES
The No. 1 junction box, on the upper left-hand cabin, and the No. 2 junction box, on the upper right-hand cabin, provide
mounting space for dc power system components. The No. 1 junction box contains the No. 1 dc primary bus contactor,
the dc bus tie contactor, and a current limiter. The No. 2 junction box contains the No. 2 dc primary bus contactor.
EH60A The No. 2 junction box also contains the dc monitor bus contactor, the quick fix power contactor, and a current
limiter CL10 (Figures 1,2,3 or 4).
The No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary bus contactors, on the No. 1 and No. 2 junction boxes, respectively, provide connections
from the No. 1 and No. 2 converters to the No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary buses. With the converters operating, their dc
outputs energize the contactor solenoids and supply the dc primary buses. When energized, one set of contactor auxiliary
contacts open the path to the battery relay to prevent the battery from supplying power to the dc buses.
EH60A UH-60A UH-60L If either converter fails, deenergizing its primary bus contactor, a set of auxiliary contacts
closes, energizing the dc bus tie contactor, and another set of contacts closes, lighting the caution/advisory panel #1 or #2
CONV capsule. UH-60Q HH-60L If either converter fails, deenergizing its primary bus contactor, a set of auxiliary
contacts closes, energizing the dc bus tie contactor, and another set of contacts closes, lighting the pilot’s and copilot’s
MFDs #1 or #2 CONV legend. When both converters are off, normally closed contacts of both contactors provide
paths for energizing the battery relay and the No. 2 dc essential bus supply relay to allow the battery to supply dc buses.
The dc bus tie contactor, on the No. 1 junction box, provides a connection between the No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary
buses. If one converter fails, the path is closed from the primary bus of the operating converter to energize the solenoid
of the dc bus tie contactor. The energized contactor connects the primary bus of the operating converter to the primary
bus of the failed converter. EH60A The dc bus tie contactor also provides a path to energize the dc monitor bus supply
contactor and quick fix power contactor through an auxiliary set of normally closed contacts.
The dc monitor bus supply relay, on the No. 2 junction box, provides a connection from the No. 2 dc primary bus to the
dc monitor bus. With both No. 1 and No. 2 converters operating, power to energize the dc monitor bus supply relay
solenoid is routed from the No. 2 dc primary bus BUS TIE CNTOR circuit breaker through the normally closed contacts
of the dc bus tie contactor. If a converter failure occurs that energizes the dc bus tie contactor, power to energize the dc
monitor bus supply contactor is removed, thus disabling the dc monitor bus.

The quick fix power contactor, on the No. 2 junction box, provides a connection from the No. 2 dc primary bus to the
mission interface panel. With both No. 1 and No. 2 converters operating and the quick fix power switch on, power to
energize the quick fix power contactor solenoid is routed from the No. 2 dc primary bus BUS TIE CNTOR circuit breaker
through the switch and the normally closed contacts of the dc bus tie contactor. If a converter failure occurs that energizes
the dc bus tie contactor, power to energize the quick fix power contactor is removed, disabling quick fix power to J512.
A current limiter on the No. 1 junction box is a 100-ampere fuse protecting the operation. This current limiter operates
when one dc primary bus is supplying the other dc primary bus as a result of a converter failure caused by a load short-
circuit.
EH60A UH-60A UH-60L The dc essential bus fail relay, on the right relay panel in the upper cabin, provides a path to
light the caution/advisory panel DC ESS BUS OFF capsule. Power from the dc essential bus energizes the relay solenoid
and the path is opened between the battery bus and the caution/advisory panel capsule. When the charge of the battery
supplying the dc essential bus falls to 35%, the bus is dropped. The relay is now de-energized and the normally closed

Primary dc power is developed by the No. 1 and No. 2 converters using three-phase ac inputs from the No. 1 and No. 2
ac primary buses, respectively. The dc outputs of the converters are applied through the energized contacts of No. 1 and
No. 2 dc primary bus contactors K16 and K6 to supply the No. 1 and No. 2 primary buses, respectively. If one converter
fails, dc bus tie contactor K15 is energized and dc power from the primary bus of the operating converter is applied,
through a current limiter, to the primary bus of the failed converter. The current limiter protects the operating converter
from an excessive overload that may have disabled the failed converter.
EH60A Electrical dc power from the No. 2 dc primary bus is applied through contacts of dc monitor bus relay K5,
when energized, to power the dc monitor bus. The No. 2 dc primary bus also provides power through current limiter
CL10 and contacts of quick fix power contactor K83, when energized, to power J512 on the mission interface panel.
Primary power to energize dc monitor bus contactor K5 and quick fix power contactor K83 is applied through normally
closed contacts of dc bus tie contactor K15. If one converter fails, dc bus tie contactor K15 is energized, deenergizing K5
and K83 and removing power from the dc monitor bus and interface panel J512. Power to energize quick fix power con-
tactor K83 is also routed through the upper console Q/F PWR switch. This switch must be ON to energize K83 and
power up connector J512.
DC power from the No. 1 dc primary bus is applied through the energized contacts of the No. 1 dc essential bus supply
relay K10 to supply the dc essential bus. If there is no power on the No. 1 dc primary bus, power from the No. 2 dc
primary bus is applied through the normally closed contacts of the No. 2 essential bus supply relay K9 and the No. 1 dc
essential bus supply relay K10, to supply the dc essential bus. The battery bus is supplied by the dc essential bus through
the normally closed contacts of battery relay K7.
UH-60A EH-60A UH60L 89-26149 - 96-26722 When the converters are on and the battery switch is ON, the battery is
charged by the battery analyzer/conditioner. The analyzer/conditioner is supplied with 115 vac, B phase power from the
No. 2 ac primary bus and with dc power from the No. 2 dc primary bus. The analyzer/conditioner output is applied
through the normally closed contacts of battery relay K7 to charge the battery. If excessive battery temperature or an
overcharge condition is sensed by the analyzer/conditioner, battery charging is discontinued and the caution/advisory panel
BATTERY FAULT capsule goes on.
CONVERTER OPERATION
The No. 1 converter is supplied with 115 vac, three-phase power from the No. 1 ac primary bus, through the No. 1
CONVERTER circuit breaker. The No. 2 converter is supplied with 115 vac, three-phase power from the No. 2 ac
primary bus, through the No. 2 CONVERTER circuit breaker. The ac input is rectified and filtered by each converter to
produce a dc output. The dc output of the No. 1 (or No. 2, as applicable) converter energizes No. 1 (or No. 2) dc primary
bus contactor K16 (or K6) and is applied through the energized main contacts of contactor K16 (or K6) to supply the No.
1 (or No. 2) dc primary bus.
DC power from the No. 1 dc primary bus, through the DC ESNTL BUS SPLY circuit breaker, energizes No. 1 dc es-
sential bus supply relay K10 and is applied through the energized contacts of relay K10 to supply the dc essential bus.
The dc essential bus supplies dc power, through the BATT BUS SPLY circuit breaker and the normally closed contacts of
battery relay K7, to the battery bus. EH60A UH-60A UH-60L The dc essential bus also supplies dc power through the
ESNTL DC SENSE circuit breaker to energize dc essential bus fail relay K20. With relay K20 energized, the path
between the battery bus and the caution/advisory panel DC ESS BUS OFF capsule is open and the capsule is off.
UH-60Q HH-60L The dc essential bus also supplies dc power through the ESNTL DC SENSE circuit breaker to energize
0033 00-1
TM 1-1520-237-23 0033 00
dc essential bus fail relay K20. With relay K20 energized, the path between the battery bus and the pilot’s and copilot’s
MFDs DC ESS BUS OFF legends are open and the legends are off.
EH60A UH-60A UH-60L If the No. 2 converter fails and its output drops to zero, No. 2 dc primary bus contactor K6
deenergizes. DC power from the battery bus is applied through the ESNTL BUS AC & CONV WARN circuit breaker and
normally closed auxiliary contacts of contactor K6 to light the caution/advisory panel #2 CONV capsule.
UH-60Q HH-60L If the No. 2 converter fails and its output drops to zero, No. 2 dc primary bus contactor K6 deener-
gizes. DC power from the battery bus is applied through the ESNTL BUS AC & CONV WARN circuit breaker and
normally closed auxiliary contacts of contactor K6 to light the pilot’s and copilot’s MFDs #2 CONV legends. DC
power from the No. 1 dc primary bus is applied through the BUS TIE CNTOR circuit breaker and normally closed
auxiliary contacts of contactor K6 to energize dc bus tie contactor K15. With contactor K15 energized, dc power from the
No. 1 dc primary bus is applied through the 100 amp current limiter to supply the No. 2 dc primary bus. If the No. 1
converter fails and its output drops to zero, No. 1 dc primary bus contactor K16 deenergizes.
EH60A UH-60A UH-60L DC power from the battery bus is applied through the ESNTL BUS AC & CONV WARN
circuit breaker and normally closed auxiliary contacts of contactor K16 to light the caution/advisory panel #1 CONV
capsule. UH-60Q HH-60L DC power from the battery bus is applied through the ESNTL BUS AC & CONV WARN
circuit breaker and normally closed auxiliary contacts of contactor K16 to light the pilot’s and copilot’s MFDs #1 CONV
legends. DC power from the No. 2 dc primary bus is applied through the BUS TIE CNTOR circuit breaker and
normally closed auxiliary contacts of contactor K16 to energize dc bus tie contactor K15. With contactor K15 energized,
dc power from the No. 2 dc primary bus is applied through the 100 amp current limiter to supply the No. 1 dc primary
bus.
If a short circuit causes the No. 1 converter to be disabled and the 100 amp current limiter to open, all power is lost on
the No. 1 dc primary bus. If this occurs, No. 1 dc essential bus supply relay K10 deenergizes. DC power from the No. 2
dc primary bus is applied through the DC ESNTL BUS SPLY circuit breaker and normally closed contacts of relay K10
to supply the dc essential bus.
UH-60A EH-60A UH60L 89-26149 - 96-26722 With the converters operating and the BATT switch ON, power is
provided from the battery analyzer/conditioner to charge the battery. DC power from the battery utility bus is applied
through the BATT switch to energize relay K2 in the analyzer/conditioner. Relays K2 and K3 provide the paths for con-
necting the charger/analyzer circuit operating power and charging power from the No. 2 ac and dc primary buses. DC
power from the No. 2 dc primary bus, through the BATT CHGR circuit breaker, is used for most of the required charging
power. AC power from the No. 2 ac primary bus, through the BATT CHGR circuit breaker, is converted to dc power to
provide a voltage boost to allow a timed overcharge to be applied to the battery. The timed overcharge is applied only
when the battery has been discharged below a certain level during the previous discharge cycle. A current control circuit
controls the charging current, applied from the analyzer/conditioner through the normally closed contacts of battery relay
K7, to charge the battery. When the battery voltage reaches a reference level, a voltage control circuit automatically stops
battery charging. A temperature-compensation sensor in the battery feeds temperature information to the voltage control
circuit to modify the voltage reference level and accommodate charging over a wide temperature range.
UH-60A EH-60A UH60L 89-26149 - 96-26722 The analyzer/conditioner monitors the battery for overtemperature or
overcharge conditions occurring during charging. If the battery temperature increases to 160°F, the battery overtempera-
ture switch opens. This is sensed by the analyzer battery fault indicator and an input is applied to the voltage control
circuit that discontinues battery charging. The fault indicator also applies voltage to light the caution/advisory panel BAT-
TERY FAULT capsule. When the battery temperature decreases to a safe level, the battery overtemperature switch closes,
battery charging is continued, and the BATTERY FAULT capsule goes off. A battery or analyzer/conditioner malfunction
0033 00-2
TM 1-1520-237-23 0033 00
may cause a battery overcharge condition. An overcharge condition is indicated by an unbalance in cell voltages. The
analyzer detects a voltage difference between battery cells. The fault indicator then stops battery charging and lights the
BATTERY FAULT capsule.

BATTERY
The battery is on the front cabin floor behind the copilot UH-60Q HH-60L in access area on underside of the cockpit .
It provides power for the dc essential bus on the ground when neither the engines nor the APU are operating. It also
provides power for controlling APU starting on the ground, or in the air if both ac generators fail.
77-27714-96-26722 The NiCad battery has a capacity of 5.5 ampere-hours, based on a 2-hour discharge rate at 25°C.
The battery has a total of 20 cells: 19 interchangeable cells and one low-capacity sense cell.
UH60L 96-26723-SUBQ MWO 50-77 UH-60Q HH-60L The sealed lead acid battery has a capacity of 9.5 ampere-hours,
based on a 1-hour discharge rate at 24°C ambient temperature to a cutoff voltage of 18 volts.
UH60L 89-26149 - 96-26722 UH-60A EH-60A The battery low-capacity sense cell provides information to the battery
analyzer/conditioner as to the percent of charge of the battery. Two temperature sensors in the battery provide continuous
signals to the analyzer/conditioner to compensate for voltage changes occurring as a result of battery temperature varia-
tions during charging and discharging. An over-temperature switch in the battery opens when the battery temperature
increases to 160°F during charging, disabling the analyzer/conditioner charging circuit to prevent thermal runaway.
When the helicopter converters are operating and the battery switch is ON, the charging circuit of the analyzer/conditioner
receives ac and dc power to charge the battery. Battery output voltage and temperature are monitored by the charging
circuit to regulate the charging current applied to the battery. The charging circuit is automatically disabled when a battery
over temperature or overcharge condition is sensed by the analyzer/conditioner fault indication circuit. The fault indication
circuit also lights the caution/advisory panel BATTERY FAULT capsule to indicate the fault condition.
BATTERY SWITCH
77-27714-96-26722 The two-position BATT switch, on the upper console, controls battery system operation. ON permits
the battery to supply the battery and dc essential buses when the converters are off, or the battery to be charged by the
analyzer/conditioner when the converters are on. UH60L 96-26723-SUBQ MWO 50-77 UH-60Q HH-60L The two-
position BATT switch, on the upper console, controls battery system operation. ON permits the battery to supply the bat-
tery and dc essential buses when the converters are off, or the battery to be charged by the battery relay when the
converters are on. OFF disables all battery system operation 77-27714-96-26722 except supply of the battery utility
bus.
BATTERY RELAY
The battery relay, on the lower front cabin bulkhead left-hand side, connects the battery to the battery bus when energized
or the dc essential bus to the battery bus when deenergized. When the converters are off and the BATT switch is ON, the
path is closed and the battery utility bus energizes the solenoid of the battery relay. The energized contacts of the battery
relay apply power from the battery to the battery bus. When the converters are operating, the normally closed contacts of
0034 00-1
TM 1-1520-237-23 0034 00
the battery relay apply power from the dc essential bus to the battery bus. When the converters are operating and the
BATT switch is ON, the battery relay is de-energized. 77-27714-96-26722 Normally closed relay contacts connect the
battery to the analyzer/conditioner to allow the battery to be charged.
The battery system provides dc power to the battery bus and dc essential bus when the battery switch is ON and the
converters are off. The battery is connected directly to the battery utility bus. With the battery switch ON and both
converters off, battery relay K7 is energized and the battery supplies the battery bus through the energized contacts of
relay K7. With the battery sufficiently charged, the No. 2 dc essential bus supply relay K9 is energized and the battery
bus supplies the dc essential bus through the energized contacts of relay K9 and the normally closed contacts of the No. 1
dc essential bus supply relay K10. The No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary buses are not supplied by the battery.
77-27714-96-26722 The condition of the battery is continuously monitored by the battery analyzer/conditioner. The
analyzer/conditioner lights the caution/advisory panel BATT LOW CHARGE capsule to indicate a low battery charge.
When the battery charge falls below the low charge level, the analyzer/conditioner reserves the remaining charge for
control of APU starting by dropping the dc essential bus load.
The helicopter battery is connected either directly to and is always supplying the battery utility bus. With both helicopter
converters off and the BATT switch placed to ON, dc power from the battery utility bus is applied through the BATT
BUS CONTR circuit breaker, the normally closed auxiliary contacts of No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary bus contactors K16
and K6, and the BATT switch, to energize battery relay K7. DC power from the battery is applied through the energized
contacts of relay K7 to supply the battery bus.
77-27714-96-26722 The battery condition is continuously monitored by the battery analyzer/conditioner. The analyzer
section of the analyzer/conditioner senses battery voltage, low cell voltage, and battery temperature. One of the 20 battery
cells is used as a sense cell to indicate the battery state of charge. A temperature sensing compensation circuit in the bat-
tery compensates for the effect of cell voltage variations with temperature. With a battery charge of at least 35%, as
indicated by the battery sense cell, analyzer/conditioner relay K1 is energized. DC power from the battery utility bus is
applied through the BATT BUS CONTR circuit breaker, normally closed auxiliary contacts of No. 1 and No. 2 dc
primary bus contactors K16 and K6, and the energized contacts of relay K1 to energize No. 2 dc essential bus supply
relay K9. DC power from the battery bus is applied through the ESNTL DC SPLY circuit breaker, the energized contacts
of relay K9, and the normally closed contacts of No. 1 dc essential bus supply relay K10, to supply the dc essential bus.
The dc essential bus applies power through the ESNTL DC SENSE circuit breaker to energize dc essential bus fail relay
K20 to keep the caution/advisory panel DC ESS BUS OFF capsule off.
77-27714-96-26722 If the voltage in the battery sense cell falls to a level indicating a battery charge of less than 40%,
this is sensed by the analyzer low cell voltage detector circuit. It applies a voltage to light the caution/advisory panel
BATT LOW CHARGE capsule. To reserve enough battery capacity for controlling APU starting, the dc essential bus is
dropped if battery charge falls below 35%. When the sense cell indicates a battery charge of less than 35%, the analyzer
low disconnect circuit deenergizes analyzer relay K1, thus deenergizing No. 2 dc essential bus supply relay K9. With
relay K9 deenergized, the path between the battery bus and the dc essential bus is open and the dc essential bus is
dropped. The removal of power from the dc essential bus deenergizes dc essential bus fail relay K20. This closes the path
from the battery bus through the BATT & ESNTL DC WARN EXT PWR CONTR circuit breaker to light the caution/
advisory panel DC ESS BUS OFF capsule.

CONSOLE LIGHTING
The console lighting consists of the upper and lower console lights. Upper console lighting provides control for panel
lighting of all control panels on the upper console and engine controls quadrant. UH60L UH-60A EH-60A Lower console
lighting provides control for panel lighting of limited control panels on the lower console, left and right gunners’ ICS
control panel floodlights, and troop commander’s ICS control panel floodlight. UH-60Q HH-60L Lower console light-
ing provides control for panel lighting of limited control panels on the lower console, MED 2 ICS control panel, MED 1
ICS control panel, and crew chief’s ICS control panel. Console lighting uses separate circuits for the upper and lower
consoles (Figure 2). The upper console lighting circuit is powered from the No. 1 ac primary bus through the LIGHTS
UPPER CSL circuit breaker on the copilot’s circuit breaker panel. The lower console lighting circuit is powered from the
No. 1 ac primary bus through the LIGHTS LWR CSL circuit breaker on the copilot’s circuit breaker panel. The upper
console light intensity is controlled by the CONSOLE LT UPPER control, on the upper console. Turning the control from
OFF to BRT provides a variable voltage (0 to 115 vac) to the upper console panels, cockpit flood and secondary lights
panel, and engine controls quadrant panels. The lower console light intensity is controlled by the CONSOLE LT LOWER
control, also on the upper console. Turning the control from OFF to BRT provides a variable voltage (0 to 115 vac)
directly to the ESSS ESSS range extension system connector, fuel boost pump control panel, the rescue hoist kit
control panel when installed, and the stabilator controls/auto flight control panel. UH60L UH-60A EH-60A The variable
115 vac is also fed through the junction box assembly to the following lower console panels: miscellaneous switch panel,
retransmit switch panel, compass system control panel, cabin dome light dimmer panel, and ESSS stores jettison control
panel connector; also the left and right gunners’ ICS control panel floodlights and the troop commander’s ICS control
panel floodlight. UH-60Q HH-60L The variable 115 vac is also fed to the following lower console panels: miscel-
laneous switch panel, compass system control panel, ESSS stores jettison control panel, personnel locator system (PLS)
control panel, blade de-ice control panel, blade de-ice test panel, pilot’s ICS control panel, copilot’s ICS control panel,
MED2 ICS control panel, MED1 ICS control panel, and crew chief’s ICS control panel. The auxiliary lighting circuit is
powered from the No.1 ac primary bus through the LIGHTS LWR CSL 5V circuit breaker on the auxiliary circuit breaker
panel. The auxiliary light intensity is controlled by the LWR CSL AUX DIMMER on the instrument panel. Turning the
control clockwise provides a variable voltage 0 to 5 vac to the following lower console panels: ice rate meter, the pilot’s
and copilot’s CDUs, emergency control panel, pilot’s rescue hoist control panel, onboard oxygen generating system
(OBOGS) status panel, auxiliary switch panel, VHF AM/FM radio, environmental control unit (ECU) control panel,
forward looking infrared (FLIR) control panel, auxiliary fuel management control panel, and crew’s rescue hoist control
panel.
The instrument panel and consoles indicator lights dimming system (Figure 3) provides control for decreasing the
intensity of or turning off indicator lights on the instrument panel, upper and lower consoles, and engine and APU fire
T-handles. The dimming system consists of relays K40 and K43 as well as dimming resistors R8, R9, and R10 in the left

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The exterior lighting systems are used either as navigational aids or for lighting an area outside of the helicopter for
search or landing operations. The exterior lighting systems consist of formation lights, anti-collision lights, position lights,
a retractable landing light, controllable searchlight, and cargo hook lights.
FORMATION LIGHTS
There are two sets of formation lights. Each set consists of two lights on the right and left horizontal stabilator, one on
the rear of the main rotor pylon, and one on the tail cone (Figure 1). One set of the formation lights, one at each posi-
tion, are electro-luminescent light assemblies that emit green light when an alternating electrical field is applied to the
phosphorescent plate (NORM). The other set of formation lights, one at each position, are infrared (IR) light emitting
diode assemblies. With the NAV LTS switch at NORM, 115 vac is routed from the No. 2 ac primary bus through
LIGHTS FORM HV circuit breaker, FORMATION LT control, LIGHTS FORM LV circuit breaker, and normally-closed
contacts of relay K53 to the formation lights.
With the NAV LTS switch at IR, 28 vdc is routed from the No. 2 dc primary bus through the IR LTS circuit breaker and
NAV LTS switch to energize relay K53 in the left relay panel. Also, 28 vdc is routed to circuitry in the left relay panel,
producing a 5 vdc output. This voltage is routed through the FORMATION LT control to the IR formation lights. The
FORMATION LT control, on the upper console, has an OFF position, and positions marked 1 through 5. With the NAV
LTS switch positioned at NORM, the intensity of the electro-luminescent formation lights is controlled by rotating the
FORMATION LT control clockwise from 1 to 5. Position 1 is dim and position 5 is bright. With the NAV LTS switch at
IR, the electro-luminescent formation lights are disabled by energizing relay K53 in the left relay panel. With the
FORMATION LT control at 5, 5 vdc is applied to the clear (bright) side of the IR assemblies. At positions 1 through 4, 5
vdc is applied to the filtered (dim) side of the IR assemblies.
ANTI-COLLISION LIGHTS
The helicopter has two anti-collision light assemblies; one on the underside of the tail cone, and the other on the top of
the tail rotor pylon (Figure 2). Each anti-collision light assembly contains two strobe lamps. One lamp is enclosed in a
white lens and provides light for daylight operation. The second lamp is enclosed in a red lens and provides light for
night operation. The mode of operation is controlled by the ANTI-COLLISION LIGHTS UPPER/BOTH/LOWER and
DAY/OFF/NIGHT switches on the upper console. System electrical power is provided by the No. 2 ac primary bus and
routed through the LIGHTS ANTI COLL circuit breaker, on the pilot’s circuit breaker panel, to the power supply. The
power supply, located in the tail cone section, can power either one or both light assemblies in either the red or white
mode, as selected by the ANTI-COLLISION LIGHTS switches. With the DAY/OFF/NIGHT switch placed to NIGHT, and
with UPPER/BOTH/LOWER switch placed to BOTH, the power supply alternately provides trigger voltages to the red
lamps in both the upper and lower anti-collision light assemblies. With the DAY/OFF/NIGHT switch placed to DAY, the
power supply alternately provides trigger voltages to the white lamp in both the upper and lower anti-collision light as-
semblies. With the UPPER/BOTH/LOWER switch placed to either UPPER or LOWER, the opposite light is disabled; the
frequency of the trigger voltage to the selected lamps are 30 - 40 flashes per minute.
POSITION LIGHTS
The helicopter has two sets of either three or five position lights (Figure 3). One set is infrared and one is incandescent.
On helicopters without horizontal stores support (HSS) installed, the helicopter has three position lights: a white light on
the rear of the tail rotor pylon, a red light on the left landing gear support fairing, and a green light on the right landing
gear support fairing. On helicopters with HSS installed, the helicopter has two additional position lights: a red light on the
left horizontal stores support and a green light on the right horizontal stores support. On helicopters without HSS in-
stalled, the HSS disconnects are jumpered so the existing three lights are operational. On helicopters with HSS installed,
the position lights on the landing gear support fairings are disabled and the position lights on the horizontal stores sup-

ports are operational. Therefore, three position lights are operational in either helicopter configuration. Power for the
incandescent set of position lights is applied to the lights from the No. 2 dc primary bus through the POS LTS circuit
breaker, on the pilot’s circuit breaker panel, and the POSITION LIGHTS switches on the upper console. With the POSI-
TION LIGHTS STEADY/FLASH switch placed to STEADY and DIM/OFF/BRT switch placed to either DIM or BRT, all
three position lights illuminate accordingly. With the POSITION LIGHTS DIM/OFF/BRT switch placed to either DIM or
BRT and STEADY/FLASH switch placed to FLASH, 28 vdc is applied to the flasher. Pulsing power is then routed from
the flasher through the DIM/OFF/BRT switch to the lights, causing the three position lights to flash between 70 and 90
times per minute.
Power for the IR position lights is applied when the NAV LTS switch is placed to the IR position. Power of 28 vdc is
applied to the left relay panel from the No. 2 dc primary bus through the POS LTS circuit breaker and the POSITION
LIGHTS switch on the upper console. When the NAV LTS switch is placed to IR, the 28 vdc from the POSITION
LIGHTS STEADY/FLASH switch is reduced to 5 vdc and applied through the POSITION LIGHTS DIM/OFF/BRT
switch to the IR position lights. With the POSITION LIGHTS STEADY/FLASH switch placed to FLASH, 28 vdc is ap-
plied to the flasher. This circuit is protected by a fuse mounted on the left relay panel.
The retractable landing light assembly is on the left-forward lower nose area of the helicopter (Figure 4). Power of 28
vdc for the 600-watt quartz lamp is supplied by the No. 1 dc primary bus through the LIGHTS RETR LDG PWR circuit
breaker on the copilot’s circuit breaker panel. The light assembly is controlled by a LDG LT combination push-button/
toggle switch on both the pilot’s and copilot’s collective stick grips. Both LDG LT switches receive operating power from
the No. 1 dc primary bus through the LIGHTS RETR LDG CONT circuit breaker on the copilot’s circuit breaker panel.
UH-60L UH-60A EH-60A When either LDG LT ON/OFF switch is pushed and released, 28 vdc control voltage is ap-
plied through relay latching circuitry in the right relay panel to the retractable landing light assembly, causing the lamp to
light, and to the caution/advisory panel, causing the LDG LT ON caution capsule to light. Pressing the LDG LT ON/OFF
switch again and releasing it causes the lamp and the LDG LT ON capsule to go out. UH-60Q HH-60L When either
LDG LT ON/OFF switch is pushed and released, 28 vdc control voltage is applied through relay latching circuitry in the
right relay panel to the retractable landing light assembly, causing the lamp to light, and to the pilot’s and copilot’s multi-
function displays, causing the LDG LT ON legends to appear. Pressing the LDG LT ON/OFF switch again and releasing
it causes the lamp and the LDG LT ON legends to go out. When either LDG LT EXT/RET switch is moved to EXT,
and held, 28 vdc power is applied to the retractable landing light assembly to extend the light. When either LDG LT
EXT/RET switch is moved to RET, 28 vdc power is applied to the retractable landing light assembly to retract the light.
The beam angle of the landing light can be controlled from straight down to straight ahead.
CONTROLLABLE SEARCHLIGHT
The controllable searchlight assembly provides a directional beam of light which is manually controlled by switches on
the pilot’s or copilot’s collective stick grips (Figure 5). The searchlight can be extended about 120° from fully retract
position and can be rotated either left or right a full 360° when in any extended position. Power of 28 vdc for the 150-
watt lamp is supplied by the dc essential bus through the LIGHTS CONTR PWR circuit breaker on the upper console, to
the dimming control and to the searchlight. Power of 28 vdc to control the searchlight is supplied by the essential bus
through the LIGHTS CONTR SRCH CONTR circuit breaker on upper console to the left relay panel, to the SRCH LT
PUSH ON-OFF/BRT-DIM switch and a four-way thumb switch on the pilot’s and copilot’s collective stick grips.
UH-60L UH-60A EH-60A Pressing and releasing the SRCH LT PUSH ON-OFF/BRT-DIM switch causes the searchlight
lamp to light and the SEARCH LT ON capsule on the caution advisory panel to go on. UH-60Q HH-60L Pressing
and releasing the SRCH LT PUSH ON-OFF/BRT-DIM switch causes the searchlight lamp to light and the SEARCH LT
ON legends on the pilot’s and copilot’s MFDs to go on. If the controllable searchlight dimming unit, on the
glareshield, OUTPUT NORM/BYPASS switch is in NORM position, the lamp intensity is that of when it was last turned
on and controllable by the SRCH LT PUSH ON-OFF/BRT-DIM switch BRT/DIM positions. If the controllable searchlight
dimming unit OUTPUT NORM/BYPASS switch is in BYPASS position, the lamp intensity is full bright and is not dim-

mable. Pressing and releasing the SRCH LT ON-OFF/BRT-DIM switch again turns the searchlight lamp off. The
searchlight lamp has a removable infrared filter for NVG operations or incandescent lamp operation. Placing the four-way
thumb switch to EXT causes the searchlight to extend. Placing the four-way thumb switch to R or L causes the
searchlight to turn right or left. Placing the four-way thumb switch to RET causes the searchlight to retract and also to
stow if held at RET.
Three lights are mounted in the cargo hook well area. Power for these lights is provided by the No. 2 ac primary bus
through the LIGHTS CARGO HOOK circuit breaker on the pilot’s circuit breaker panel (Figure 6). From the circuit
breaker, power is routed to the CARGO HOOK LT switch on the upper console. From there, power is routed to the three
cargo hook lights. The CARGO HOOK LT switch is a two-position toggle switch that provides on-off control of cargo
hook lighting.
The dual-mode controllable searchlight assembly (Figure 7) provides a directional beam of light which is manually
controlled by a switch on the rescue hoist pendant. The searchlight can be extended about 120° from the fully retracted
position and can be rotated either left or right a full 360° when in any extended position. The searchlight assembly has
three lamps, all three lamps are identical. Two lamps are wired in parallel, and are installed under a clear lens, these
lamps are called normal lamps and are used for normal white light operation. The third lamp is located under an infrared
(IR) lens and is called the IR lamp and is used for night vision goggle (NVG) operations. The searchlight lamps are
controlled by a three position toggle switch SEARCHLIGHT ON/NORMAL OFF ON/NVG switch on the crew’s hoist
control panel. When the switch is placed to ON/NORMAL 28 vdc is applied to the two normal lamps. When the switch
is placed to ON/NVG 28 vdc is applied to the IR lamp. Placing the four-way thumb switch on the rescue hoist pendant to
FWD causes the searchlight to extend. Placing the four-way thumb switch to LEFT or RIGHT causes the searchlight to
turn left or right. Placing the four-way thumb switch to AFT causes the searchlight to retract and also stow if held at
AFT.

UNIT LEVEL
FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system supplies fuel to both engines and to the APU. The system consists of a main fuel system, a fuel quantity
system, and a fuel low-level warning system. Fuel from both main fuel tanks is drawn by suction to the hydromechanical
unit (HMU) and the engine-driven pumps. Fuel from the No. 1 fuel tank is drawn by suction to the APU fuel control.
Fuel from both main fuel tanks is drawn by suction to the HMU and the engine-driven pumps. Fuel from the No. 1 fuel
tank is drawn by suction to the APU fuel control.
Two interchangeable fuel tanks are in the transition section. The tanks are crashworthy and self-sealing. Tank material is a
rubber compound with a nylon filament added for strength and an outer coat of Vithane added for scuff resistance. Each
tank’s usable capacity varies with the method of fueling as follows:
Sump drains are in the bottom of each tank. Vent lines from each tank, in addition to venting, prevent over pressurization
during refueling if the high-level shutoff valves malfunction. Location of components in each fuel tank are shown in
Figure 1 and Figure 2.
Fuel Lines
The fuel lines are self-sealing, and have self-sealing, breakaway type valves. These valves and lines prevent loss of fuel if
the valves break away from the fuel lines or a line is severed.
REFUEL/DEFUEL SYSTEM
Both the pressure refueling and closed circuit refueling adapters are in one refueling receptacle on the left side of the
helicopter. Gravity refueling is done through separate filler ports on each side of the helicopter. No electrical power is
needed for refueling. A high-level shutoff valve in each tank closes the pressure refueling valve in the tank when the tank
is full. During pressure defueling a low-level shutoff valve closes the pressure refueling valve when the tank is empty
(Figure 1). Fueling of the fuel tanks can be done by:
Gravity refueling.
VENT SYSTEM
The vent system allows air to enter or exit the main fuel tanks. It also prevents fuel spillage from the main tanks if the
helicopter banks and/or rolls excessively. Vent valves are attached to breakaway valves on each main tank panel assembly.
A single Y shaped vent tube connects each vent valve to a common line extending to the rear and down, exiting at the
bottom of the fuselage. The vent valves have double-acting check valves which open due to a pressure differential
between the tank and atmosphere. This allows air to exit or enter the tanks. If the helicopter banks or rolls excessively

these valves will remain closed preventing fuel loss. Main tank fuel overflow is detected by an overflow sensor in the
vent line. ESSS The signal output will turn on the OVERFLOW indicator on the fuel management panel.
SUPPLY SYSTEM
The fuel supply system consists of a low pressure engine boost pump, fuel filter, fuel selector valve, HMU, and a main
tank check valve. Fuel is drawn to each engine HMU by suction created by the engine boost pump. Under particular situ-
ations a tank’s fuel boost pump can be utilized to pressurize fuel to the HMU. A prime/boost system will automatically
pressurize (prime) the fuel supply upon engine start. The fuel filter for each engine has a bypass valve to assure continu-
ous fuel flow when the filter becomes blocked. A bypass warning device in the form of a popout button will indicate the
bypass condition. The main tank check valve prevents loss of fuel prime when the engines are shut down. Fuel selector
valves control the source of fuel for each engine.
A prime/boost pump is installed in front of the No. 1 fuel component plate assembly in the fuel tank compartment. If the
main fuel lines lose their prime, the electrically operated pump will prime them. The pump is controlled by the FUEL
PUMP switch on the upper console. Electrical power is supplied from the battery bus through the FUEL PRIME BOOST
circuit breaker. While the pump is running, the PRIME BOOST PUMP ON capsule on the caution/advisory panel will be
on. The prime/boost system is activated by the engine start system, automatically priming each engine fuel line while the
engine is being started.
The fuel boost pump system consists of a submerged centrifugal pump in the bottom of each fuel tank, two pressure
switches, two pump lights, two check valves, and two control switches. The pump and control switches are mounted on
the fuel boost pump control panel on the lower console (Figure 3). When either the NO. 1 PUMP or NO. 2 PUMP switch
is placed ON, the respective boost pump will go on and a pump light will go on. The check valve (one at each pump
outlet) prevents loss of engine fuel line prime. Power for the No. 1 boost pump is supplied by the No. 1 primary ac bus
through the NO. 1 FUEL BOOST PUMP circuit breaker mounted on the mission readiness panel. Power for the No. 2
boost pump is supplied by the No. 2 primary ac bus through the NO. 2 FUEL BOOST PUMP circuit breaker mounted on
the mission readiness panel. EH60A Power for the No. 1 boost pump is supplied by the No. 1 ac primary bus through
the NO. 1 FUEL BOOST PUMP circuit breaker mounted on the copilot’s circuit breaker panel. Power for the No. 2 boost
pump is supplied by the No. 2 ac primary bus through the NO. 2 FUEL BOOST circuit breaker mounted on the pilot’s
circuit breaker panel. Power to the No. 1 and No. 2 pump lights on the fuel boost pump control panel is routed through
one set of contracts of relay K40 in the left relay panel.
The fuel boost pump control panel consists of two toggle switches, two press-to-test light indicators, a lighted information
plate and, on the back of the control panel, an electrical connector (Figure 3). The NO. 1 PUMP and NO. 2 PUMP toggle
switches control the operating voltage to the respective fuel boost pump. The NO. 1 PUMP and NO. 2 PUMP indicators
go on to indicate adequate pressure at the respective boost pump output.

The fuel quantity system visually indicates the amount of fuel, in pounds, in each tank and also the amount of total fuel
remaining in both tanks. The fuel quantity system consists of one fuel quantity probe in each fuel tank, a fuel quantity
signal conditioner, and a fuel indicator test circuit. See Figure 4 for system block diagram. The fuel quantity system
information is displayed on the instrument display system FUEL QTY indicators. The quantity of fuel in each fuel tank is
sensed by the fuel quantity probe. The FUEL QTY vertical indicators display fuel quantity in LBS X 100 for both the No.
1 and No. 2 fuel tanks. The FUEL QTY indicator scales are amber for 0 to 200 pounds of fuel, and green for 200 to
1500 pounds of fuel. A digital readout of total fuel in both tanks is shown at the bottom of the vertical indicators. The
system may be checked out by pressing the FUEL IND TEST push-button on the miscellaneous switch panel, causing
both vertical scales of the FUEL QTY indicator and the digital readout to change, and the #1 and #2 FUEL LOW caution
lights on the caution/advisory panel HH-60L UH-60Q pilot’s or copilot’s multifunction display to flash. When the
button is released, the scale returns to the original readings. The signal conditioner has external empty and full adjust-
ments for each fuel tank.
The fuel low level warning system consists of one low-level sensor on each fuel quantity probe, a low level warning
conditioner, #1 FUEL LOW and #2 FUEL LOW caution lights on the caution/advisory panel, HH-60L UH-60Q pilot’s or
copilot’s multifunction display, and a fuel low indicator test circuit. See Figure 5 for system block diagram. Power for
the system is supplied by the No. 1 dc primary bus through the FUEL LOW WARN circuit breaker. The low-level warn-
0037 00-5
TM 1-1520-237-23 0037 00
ing conditioner supplies dc current to the fuel low level sensor circuitry. The sensor, at the lower portion of the fuel
quantity probe, contains a thermistor which senses the presence or absence of fuel. When the thermistor beads are wet,
the sensor signal voltage supplied to the low level warning conditioner is high. A high sensor signal causes the
conditioner to open the supply voltage path to the #1 FUEL LOW and #2 FUEL LOW caution lights. When the ther-
mistor beads are dry, the sensor signal voltage supplied to the low level warning conditioner is low. A low sensor signal
causes the conditioner to close the supply voltage path. The 28 vdc from the FUEL LOW WARN circuit breaker is then
supplied through the low-level warning conditioner to the caution/advisory panel HH-60L UH-60Q pilot’s or copilot’s
multifunction display , causing the #1 FUEL LOW or #2 FUEL LOW caution light to flash. Each light flashes when
about a 20-minute fuel supply (172 pounds of fuel) remains in its tank. Both lights also flash when the FUEL IND TEST
push-button on the miscellaneous switch panel is pressed.

DESCRIPTION
The flight controls consist of the collective, cyclic, and tail rotor (directional) control systems. These systems use a series
of push-pull rods, bellcranks, cables, pulleys, and servos that transmit control movements from cockpit to the main and
tail rotors (Figure 1). The pilot and copilot have dual controls. Cyclic control sticks control forward, rearward, and lateral
helicopter movements; collective control sticks control vertical helicopter movements; and tail rotor control pedals control
helicopter headings. Hydraulic power is supplied by the first stage, second stage, and backup hydraulic systems. Electrical
power is supplied by the ac and dc electrical system. Assistance for the pilot or copilot in pitch, roll, and yaw control is
provided by the stability augmentation system (SAS), flight path stabilization (FPS), and electromechanical trim. For a
complete description of these systems, refer to TM 11-1520-237-23.
OPERATION
The flight controls are either manually operated, by the pilot or copilot moving the cyclic control stick, collective control
stick, and tail rotor control pedals, or automatically by the SAS. Movement of the cyclic or collective control stick is
transmitted by mechanical linkage to hydraulic servos for power assist, and then to the mixing unit. The mixing unit
mechanically combines inputs to the main rotor and provides proportional control movements to the tail rotor. This takes
place through the collective to yaw coupling and through the hydraulic primary servos. The primary servos move the
main rotor swashplate, which changes blade pitch. The tail rotor pedals are connected by bellcranks, idlers, and control
rods to the hydraulic yaw boost servo for power assist, and then through the mixing unit. Control cables transmit this
movement to the rear control quadrant, then to a control rod to the hydraulic tail rotor servo. This moves the pitch change
beam, which changes the tail rotor blade angles (Figure 2).
Self-retaining (impedance) bolts are used as the primary connections in the flight controls system to prevent components
from disconnecting accidently. These bolts are identified by a split collar on the bolt shank at the threaded end. The collar
provides the self-retaining feature of the bolt. The split collar is compressed into a groove during installation and expands
on the outside of the hole when the bolt is completely installed.
This system gives vertical helicopter control. The collective sticks are connected through a series of control rods,
bellcranks, the collective boost servo and the mixing unit to the primary servos. These all raise or lower the main rotor
swashplate, independent of the cyclic position of the swashplate. This causes the pitch angle of all blades to change
equally. The collective boost servo is powered by the second stage hydraulic system.
This system provides forward, rearward, and lateral control of the helicopter. The cyclic sticks are mechanically-coupled,
lever-type controls for both pilot and copilot. The cyclic sticks are connected through a torque shaft, a series of control

TM 1-1520-237-23 0038 00
The tail rotor (directional) control system determines helicopter heading, or yaw, by controlling pitch of the tail rotor
blades. The control pedals are connected through a series of control rods, bellcranks, yaw boost servo, the mixing unit,
cables, and quadrants to the tail rotor servo. This moves the pitch change beam to change tail rotor blade angles. The tail
rotor controls are powered by the first stage or backup hydraulic systems.
The pedals are mechanically coupled and permit the pilot and copilot to control helicopter headings. The pedals contain
independent toe-operated wheel brake controls. Each set of pedals can be adjusted to the pilot’s leg length.
A tail rotor quadrant, mounted on the tail gear box, transmits tail rotor cable movements into the tail rotor servo
(Figure 6). Two spring cylinders are connected to the quadrant. If one cable is broken, the spring cylinders allow the
quadrant to operate normally. The TAIL ROTOR QUADRANT caution capsule on the caution/advisory panel will go on
if a cable breaks. The remaining cable will unlatch when the helicopter is shut down.

UNIT LEVEL
UTILITY SYSTEM
The windshield anti-ice system prevents ice from forming on the pilot’s and copilot’s windshields. HCW The center
windshield is also equipped with the anti-ice system. The anti-ice system applies three-phase, 115 vac power to heater
elements within the windshield to keep a temperature of 70° to 115°F on the windshield surface. The ac power is sup-
plied to the windshield heater elements by anti-ice controllers that are activated by two temperature sensors within each
windshield. The system consists of heater elements and temperature sensors in the pilot’s and copilot’s windshields,
pilot’s and copilot’s anti-ice controllers on the right and left sides of the cabin overhead, and control switches on the up-
per console. HCW The system also consists of heater elements and temperature sensors in the center windshield and
center anti-ice controller on the left side of the cabin overhead, and control switch on the upper console.
POWER DISTRIBUTION
The windshield anti-ice system gets ac and dc electrical power from the pilot’s and copilots circuit breaker panels
(Figure 1, Sheet 1, 2, 3, and 4). Electrical power of 28 vdc is supplied by the No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary buses and
routed through the CPLT WSHLD ANTI-ICE, PILOT WSHLD ANTI-ICE, and HCW CTR WSHLD ANTI-ICE
circuit breakers, respectively, to the WINDSHIELD ANTI-ICE COPILOT, PILOT, and HCW CTR switches. Electrical
power of 115 vac is supplied by the No. 1 and No. 2 ac primary buses and routed through the respective anti-ice circuit
breakers to the copilot’s, pilot’s, and center anti-ice controllers.
NORMAL OPERATION
Anti-ice operation for the pilot’s, copilot’s, and HCW center windshields is the same. Copilot’s anti-ice operation is
described. When the WINDSHIELD ANTI-ICE COPILOT switch is placed ON, 28 vdc control voltage is applied through
the switch and normally closed contacts of automatic cutout relay K21 in the right relay panel, to the copilot’s anti-ice
controller. Windshield heater element power of 115 vac is also applied to the controller. The temperature of the copilot’s
windshield is monitored by two parallel connected temperature sensors within the windshield. The sensors form one leg
of a resistance bridge circuit in the anti-ice controller. Changes in windshield temperature cause corresponding changes in
sensor resistance, resulting in a bridge unbalance. The bridge unbalance produces a signal of specific phase that cor-
responds to a sensor resistance above or below the bridge balance point. This signal is phase-detected and compared with
a 400 Hz reference signal within the controller. When windshield temperature decreases to a value giving a sensor
resistance of between 167 to 169 ohms, an in-phase bridge unbalance signal is produced. This signal turns on the control-
ler that applies 115 vac power to the windshield heater elements to heat the windshield. When the temperature of the
windshield increases to a value giving a sensor resistance of between 4 to 5 ohms above the turn-on resistance value, the
unbalanced bridge circuit produces an out-of-phase signal that turns off the controller.
The windshield anti-ice system contains protection circuitry to prevent damage to the windshield in case of a fault. If a
windshield temperature sensor opens or shorts, or if there is a loss of ac or dc power, the anti-ice controller removes
power from the windshield heater elements. The system is also automatically shut off if the auxiliary power unit (APU)
generator is the only source of electrical power and the backup hydraulic pump is on. Under these conditions, 28 vdc
from the APU is applied through the normally closed contacts of No. 2 and No. 1 ac generator contactors K2 and K1,
through the energized contacts of APU/external power contactor K3, and the energized contacts of hydraulic emergency
relay K19 to energize automatic cutout relay K21. With K21 energized, the 28 vdc is removed from the anti-ice controller
and the system shuts off.

UTILITY SYSTEM
The fire detection system provides fire warning in the cockpit if there is a fire in either the main engine compartment or
the APU compartment. For a complete description, refer to POWER DISTRIBUTION, NORMAL OPERATION, and
TEST OPERATION in this work package. The fire detection system warns the pilot and copilot, when infrared radiation,
caused by a fire or extreme overheating, is detected in either engine compartment or APU compartment. The system
consists of three control amplifiers, one for each engine and one for the APU, in the forward cabin ceiling; five sensors,
two in each engine compartment, one on the firewall and the other on the engine deck, and one in the APU compartment;
No. 1 and No. 2 engine T-handle fire warning lights in the engine controls quadrant; and an APU T-handle fire warning
light and a FIRE DET TEST/OPER switch on the upper console. The fire detection system functionally interfaces with
the caution/advisory warning system, or the UH-60Q UH-60Q HH-60L MFD/caution/advisory warning system,
through the left relay panel. The caution/advisory warning system, or HH-60L MFD/caution/advisory warning system,
provides FIRE capsules, one each on the pilot’s and copilot’s master warning panel. It also provides T-handle light dim-
ming control. The fire detection system is associated with the discharge-type fire extinguishing system described in
WP 0042 00.
POWER DISTRIBUTION
Electrical power for the fire detection system is supplied by the dc essential bus and the battery bus. The 28 vdc from the
dc essential bus is routed through the FIRE DET NO. 1 ENG and the FIRE DET NO. 2 ENG circuit breakers on the up-
per console. The FIRE DET NO. 1 ENG circuit breaker supplies 28 vdc to both No. 1 engine fire detectors, the No. 1
engine fire detector amplifier and the left relay panel. The FIRE DET NO. 2 ENG circuit breaker supplies 28 vdc to both
NO. 2 engine fire detectors, the No. 2 engine fire detector amplifier and the left relay panel. The 28 vdc from the BATT
BUS is routed through the APU FIRE DET circuit breaker on the lower console. The APU FIRE DET circuit breaker sup-
plies 28 vdc to the APU fire detector, APU fire detector amplifier and the left relay panel. Lighting intensity of the three
T-handle warning capsules and two FIRE capsules on the pilot’s and copilot’s master warning panels are controlled by the
BRT/DIM-TEST switch on the caution/advisory panel, or UH-60Q HH-60L on the instrument panel. The BRT/DIM-
TEST switch controls dim circuits in the left relay panel.
NORMAL OPERATION
The system consists of five identical fire detector sensors. Each sensor is a dual-element photoresistive light sensor, whose
electrical resistance decreases with the intensity and color of the light energy reaching the detector elements. One element
is sensitive to red light, the other is sensitive to blue. In normal operation (selected by the OPER position of the FIRE
DET TEST/OPER switch), the detector circuit configuration produces an output of from 9 to 11 vdc when the blue
component of ambient light reaches the detector and an output of from 13 to 15 vdc when the red component of fire’s
flame reaches the detector. The fire detector amplifiers control switching of 28 vdc to the capsule described in
FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION, through a relay in the amplifiers. When detector output/amplifier input is
from 9 to 11 vdc, amplifier output is 0 vdc; when detector output/amplifier input is from 13 to 15 vdc, amplifier output is
28 vdc.
TEST OPERATION
The FIRE DET TEST switch is used to simulate a fire condition. When the FIRE DET TEST switch is placed to 1, a
simulated fire detected signal is applied to the APU fire detector, No. 1 engine firewall-mounted detector and No. 2
engine firewall-mounted detector. This causes the two FIRE warning capsules on the master warning panels, #1 and #2
ENG EMER OFF and APU T-handle capsules to go on. When the FIRE DET TEST switch is placed to 2, a simulated
fire detected signal is applied to the No. 1 and No. 2 engine deck-mounted detectors. This causes the two FIRE warning

UTILITY SYSTEM
The fire extinguishing system puts out fire in the APU or in either of the main engine compartments (Figure 1, Sheets1
and 2). The system consists of two pressurized containers, an overboard discharge line, a discharge indicator on the right
side of the helicopter, and electrical switches and wiring. Each pressurized container is charged with 2.5 pounds of mono-
bromotrifluoromethane and has a pressure gage. Each container serves as a backup for the other, there by providing a two
shot capability to extinguish fires in either main engine compartment. The APU compartment is only extinguished by one
container. A single, overboard discharge line is connected to both pressurized containers. A red indicator disc is at the end
of the line on the right side of the helicopter at station 464. A broken-out red disc shows you that a container relief valve
has discharged and a container must be replaced. Upon impact of a crash of 10 Gs or more, an inertia switch automati-
cally fires both containers into both main engine compartments.
If a fire is detected in the No. 1 engine, No. 2 engine, or APU compartment, a light in the extinguishing agent T-handle
on the upper console will go on. Pulling out on the lighted T-handle selects the compartment to which the extinguishing
agent will be discharged (Figure 1, Sheets1 and 2). The FIRE EXTGH switch on the upper console is spring-loaded OFF,
and controls the release of the extinguishing agent. Moving the switch to either MAIN or RESERVE selects the container
from which the extinguishing agent will be discharged.

The engine anti-ice systems consist of an inlet anti-ice valve and temperature sensing switch, and an engine-mounted anti-
ice valve with a position switch. When the ENG ANTI-ICE No. 1 or No. 2 switch is placed ON, the engine mounted
anti-ice valve opens, causing a position switch to close. Then, the #1 or #2 ENG ANTI-ICE ON advisory light goes on.
After the inlet valve has opened and the engine inlet temperature reaches 200°F the #1 or #2 ENG INLET ANTI-ICE ON
advisory light will go on (Figure 1, Sheets 1 and 2).
Above 13°C (55°F) - Appearance of the ENG INLET ANTI-ICE ON advisory indicates a system malfunction.
Above 4°C (39°F) to 13°C (55°F) - The ENG INLET ANTI-ICE ON advisory may appear or may not appear.
At 4°C (39°F) and below - Failure of ENG INLET ANTI-ICE ON advisory to appear indicates a system malfunction. Do
not fly the aircraft in known icing conditions.
At engine power levels of 10% TRQ per engine and below, full inlet anti-ice capability cannot be provided due to engine
bleed limitations. Power to operate the valves is normally provided from the No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary buses,
respectively, through circuit breakers marked NO. 1 and NO. 2 ENG ANTI-ICE, respectively. During engine start, power
to operate the No. 1 engine inlet anti-ice valve is provided from the dc essential bus through a circuit breaker marked

UTILITY SYSTEM
The blade deicing system provides for deicing the main and tail rotor blades and droop stops. The deicing system may be
operated in either of two selectable modes, manual or automatic. The automatic mode uses a signal from the outside air
temperature sensor to determine the amount of time the heating current is applied to the main and tail rotor blades. The
manual mode provides selection of three predetermined deicing conditions: trace, light, and moderate. The main and tail
rotor channels of the deice system electrically heat mats bonded into the leading edges of each blade. Each main rotor
blade contains four separate heating zones. Deicing current is sequentially supplied to identical zones of opposite blades
to assure symmetrical ice shedding. The amount of time heating current is applied to each blade zone is determined by
the outside air temperature (OAT). This is sensed by an outside OAT sensor. The time between heating cycles is
determined by an ice detector probe. The signals from both the OAT sensor and the ice detector probe are applied to the
main and tail rotor channels in the deice controller. Each tail rotor blade contains only one heating zone, and all tail rotor
blades are simultaneously pulsed by deicing current. The amount of time heating current is supplied to the blades in the
automatic mode is greater as the outside air temperature decreases. In the manual mode, the time between heating cycles
is determined by the mode selector switch setting. A blade deice test panel permits testing of the internal fail detection
circuits in the deice controller. At NORM, the test panel permits normal system operation. At SYNC 1 and SYNC 2, the
main rotor synchronization fail detection circuits are tested. At OAT, a short-circuited OAT sensor is simulated, and fail
detection circuits in main and tail rotor channels are tested. At EOT, faulty element-on-timers are simulated in the main
and tail channels and their associated failure detection circuits are tested. The PWR MAIN RTR and PWR TAIL RTR
lamps monitor power application to the main and tail rotor blades. The lamps will go on during system test, any time
power remains applied to the blades with the MR DEICE FAIL or TR DEICE FAIL caution capsule is on and the system
POWER switch is ON, or any time power remains applied to the blades with the system POWER switch OFF. The droop
stops are continuously heated as long as the BLADE DEICE control panel POWER switch is in the TEST or ON mode.
The blade deicing system is made up of an outside air temperature sensor mounted on the fuselage forward of the pilot’s
window; an ice detector mounted on the right engine air inlet duct, with a sensing probe exposed to outside air; an icing
rate meter, BLADE DEICE control panel, and BLADE DEICE TEST panel, all of which are mounted on the instrument
panel. The blade deicing system also includes a slipring mounted on the main and tail gear boxes, auxiliary ac, and main
rotor blade deice junction boxes, a blade deice controller mounted in the cabin containing separate main and tail rotor
channels, and droop stop heaters built into the rotor head droop stops. The main and tail rotor blades are not part of the
system. All blades contain resistive heating mats built into the blade during its construction.
Panel lighting of the icing rate meter panel is controlled by the INSTR LT NON FLT control on the upper console. For a
further description of panel lighting, refer to INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING in WP 0035 00. The left relay panel
connects the TEST IN PROGRESS lamp on the BLADE DEICE control panel, and the PWR MAIN RTR and PWR
TAIL RTR lamps on the BLADE DE-ICE TEST panel, to dimming voltage and permits indicator lamp dimming and
disabling functions. For a further description of indicator lighting, refer to INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONSOLES

the battery bus is applied through the APU GEN CONTR circuit breaker, through normally open or normally closed
contacts of No. 1 and No. 2 generator contactors, and energized contacts of relay K64, to energize contactors K62 and
K63.
Three-phase 115 vac tail rotor heater power may come from one of two sources: from the No. 1 ac primary bus through
the DE-ICE PWR TAIL ROTOR circuit breaker and normally open contacts of contactor K63, or from the APU generator
through normally closed contacts of contactor K63. From contactor K63, power is routed through current limiters CL13,
CL14, and CL15, contacts of contactor K61, and fault detection circuitry within the blade deice controller, to the tail rotor
sliprings. Three-phase 115 vac main rotor heater power may come from one of two sources: from the No. 2 ac primary
bus through current limiters CL7, CL8, and CL9, and normally open contacts of contactor K62, or from the APU genera-
tor through normally closed contacts of contactor K62. From contactor K62, power is routed through current limiters
CL10, CL11, and CL12, contacts of contactor K60, and MN RTR BLADE DE-ICE CT transformers T14 and T14A, to
the main rotor sliprings. Single-phase 115 vac for the BLADE DE-ICE TEST panel and the icing rate meter is supplied
by the No. 2 ac primary bus via the ICE DET circuit breaker.
Three-phase 115 vac tail rotor heater power may come from one of two sources: from the No. 2 ac primary bus through
current limiters CL1, CL2, and CL3, the DE-ICE PWR TAIL ROTOR circuit breaker, and normally open contacts of con-
tactor K63; or from the APU generator through normally closed contacts of contactor K63. From contactor K63, power is
routed through current limiters CL13, CL14, and CL15, contacts of contactor K61, and fault detection circuitry within the
blade deice controller, to the tail rotor sliprings. Three-phase 115 vac main rotor heater power may come from one of two
sources: from the No. 2 ac primary bus through current limiters CL7, CL8, and CL9, and normally open contacts of con-
tactor K62; or from the APU generator through normally closed contacts of contactor K62. From contactor K62, power is
routed through current limiters CL10, CL11, and CL12, contacts of contactor K60, and MN RTR BLADE DE-ICE CT
transformers T14 and T14A, to the main rotor sliprings. Single-phase 115 vac for the BLADE DE-ICE TEST panel and
the icing rate meter is supplied by the No. 1 ac primary bus via the ICE DET circuit breaker.
0044 00-2
TM 1-1520-237-23 0044 00
The icing rate signal is held by circuitry within the icing rate meter panel. The hold circuits prevent the controller from
receiving a false no-ice signal. An aspirator built into the detector uses engine bleed-air to create a vacuum near the probe
sensing area. This draws air over the sensing probe when the helicopter is in a hover, and there is no ram air flowing over
the probe.
If the main rotor distributor is not in its proper reference position, 28 vdc power is applied to the deice controller from
the ON position of the BLADE DE-ICE control panel POWER switch, and the main rotor channel automatically enters
the fast synchronization mode. During this time the distributor driver delivers a series of short pulses (375 milliseconds)
to step the distributor to a reference position. During synchronization, the controller monitors the sync pulse input signal
from the distributor, to check for synchronization and proper sequencing. The distributor will provide a -3 to -7 volt refer-
ence signal to the controller when the stepping relay is in position for deicing to start. If the reference signal is not
present, the controller continues to generate pulses (to a maximum of eight) to advance a stepping relay in the distributor.
If the -3 to -7 volt sync signal is not received within the first eight-pulse cycle, the controller generates a main blade
deice fail signal, which turns on the MR DE-ICE FAIL capsule. If the reference signal is present, the output from the
element-on-time (EOT) pulse counter and sync control circuit is a synchronizer functional signal to the main blade fail/
fault detect circuits. A no-fail signal from the main blade fail/fault detect circuit is applied to the main rotor power moni-
tor. The power monitor is enabled when the POWER switch on the BLADE DE-ICE control panel is ON or at TEST, and
the synchronizer is functional.
The output of the main rotor power monitor enables the main rotor contactor driver, which energizes the main rotor blade
deice contactor K60 through the contacts of relay K64. Contactor K60 supplies 115 vac, three-phase power to the
distributor through current transformers T14 and T14A, and the main rotor sliprings. The controller now begins a normal
main rotor cycle. The eight element-on-time heating control pulses used to step the stepping relay in the distributor are
generated by the main blade element-on-timer of the blade deice controller. The EOT distributor drive pulses are applied
to the input control logic circuit in the distributor. The 28 vdc EOT signal simultaneously energizes stepping relay K2 and
contactors K1 and K3. The gate circuits are also enabled. Stepping relay K2 cocks a ratchet mechanism to advance the
rotary distributor. The gate circuits control the SCRs, which provide arc suppression for contactors K1 and K3. When the
EOT signal goes low, contactor K1 and K3 open. The input control logic circuit and gate circuits keep the SCRs conduct-
ing until after the contacts of K1 and K3 have opened. Finally, the stepping relay solenoid is deenergized, allowing its
contacts to advance. Sync information is derived from stepping relay K2 and a sync forming circuit. This provides a
negative output pulse of 5 volts for position 1, and 30 volts for positions 3, 5, and 7. Positions 2, 4, 6, and 8 are sensed
by zero volts on the sync pulse input line.
The icing rate signal is also applied to the tail deice integrator circuit through the normally closed contacts of a test relay.
The output of the integrator is used to determine the off-time (OT) of the tail blade heating elements. With the POWER
switch ON, 28 vdc energizes relay K64 through diode CR16. The 28 vdc is also supplied to the ON command input of
the blade deice controller’s tail rotor power monitor circuit.
The tail rotor power monitor is enabled because the ON input is present, and a no-fail signal from the fail detect circuit
enables the power monitor. The output of the tail rotor contactor driver energizes the TL RTR DE-ICE CNTOR K61
through the contacts of relay K64 when both inputs to the tail rotor contactor driver are present. The ON signal to OR-
gate U6 provides one input to AND gate U5. Then, a no-fail signal enables U5. The output of U5 enables the contactor
driver and supplies one input to AND gate U4. The other input to U4 is the tail rotor element on-timer signal. The pulse
width of the timer signal is a function of the outside air temperature (OAT). The lower the temperature, the greater the
pulse width. The timer output pulse (EOT) enables AND gate U4, which energizes the heat control contactor in the
controller. Heating power is connected through the tail rotor sliprings to the tail rotor blade heating elements. The time
between EOT cycles is determined by the icing rate signal as sensed by the ice detector. The icing rate signal is applied
to the tail deice integrator. The output of the integrator controls the operation of the tail rotor element-on-timer.
0044 00-3
TM 1-1520-237-23 0044 00
Placing the BLADE DE-ICE control panel POWER switch to TEST applies 28 vdc to the test control circuits in the
controller, which energizes the test relay and applies a command to all test circuits in the blade deice controller. The
controller also feeds back 28 vdc to turn on the TEST IN PROGRESS lamp in the BLADE DE-ICE control panel for 105
to 135 seconds. During the test mode, the controller overrides existing element-on-time (EOT), element-off-time (OT),
and any MANUAL or AUTO commands, to execute a preset test program. Test relay contacts remove the icing rate signal
supplied by the AUTO or MANUAL position of the MODE switch on the BLADE DE-ICE control panel to the main and
tail blade integrators in the controller. A fixed resistor is substituted, which provides a nominal off-time to 100 seconds for
the main rotor channel, and 100 seconds for the tail rotor channel. Another set of test relay contacts removes the outside
air temperature (OAT) signal to the main and tail blade element-on-time (EOT) circuits, and substitutes a fixed resistor,
which provides for eight 375 millisecond main blade element-on-time pulses and a single tail blade EOT pulse of 1
second. A test command input to the EOT pulse counter and sync check circuit causes the main rotor channel to enter the
fast cycle mode. During this mode, the main blade element-on-timer generates eight EOT pulses. The EOT test program
is generated by the same timing circuits that generate EOT and OT during normal operation. The main and tail blade
systems fault detection circuits signal the existence of any malfunction in the same way as in normal operation. During
the test cycle, the OT timers are checked for proper operation. If the tail OT is less than 90 seconds or more than 110
seconds, a failure indication will be generated. If the main blade OT is less than 90 seconds or more than 110 seconds, a
failure indication will be generated. If the BLADE DE-ICE control panel POWER switch is placed OFF before the test
cycle is complete, the controller terminates the test sequence and resets any existing warning outputs. When the test is
allowed to terminate, all warning outputs are reset, so that if the POWER switch is placed OFF and then ON, no warning
capsules will be on. The BLADE DE-ICE TEST panel provides a check of blade deice system for failures that are not
detected during the normal TEST mode. The panel does this by inserting specific failure signals into the system, which
should be detected by the built-in-test circuits, in the controller. When the BLADE DE-ICE TEST panel switch is at
SYNC or SYNC 2, the test panel interrupts the distributor sync line and injects a false sync signal to the controller. The
test panel provides the controller with a -30 vdc pulse when the mode switch is at SYNC, and presents an open circuit
with switch at SYNC 2. This causes the MR DE-ICE FAIL capsule to go on. When the BLADE DE-ICE TEST panel
switch is placed to OAT, the switch short circuits the OAT sensor input to the controller. The main blade and tail blade
fail detect circuits sense the simulated failure and cause the MR DE-ICE FAIL and TR DE-ICE FAIL caution capsules to
go on.
When the BLADE DE-ICE TEST panel switch is placed to EOT, the switch connects grounds from relay K3 to the main
blade and tail blade fault detect circuits in the controller to simulate malfunctioning EOT timing circuits. Thus the MR
DE-ICE FAIL and TR DE-ICE FAIL caution capsules are turned on. When the test function switch on the BLADE DE-
ICE TEST panel is at NORM, the test panel does not inject failure signals into the system, and allows normal system
operation. The BLADE DE-ICE TEST panel also functions to sense faults in the deice power circuits. If electrical power
remains applied to either the main or tail rotor heating elements after a fail condition, or when blade deice power is
switched off, the BLADE DE-ICE TEST panel causes the corresponding PWR monitor indicator to go on. The tail rotor
power monitor circuit monitors the three-phase ac voltage to the tail rotor heating elements. If voltage is present on at
least two phases, a ground return is provided for fault detector relay K2. When the POWER switch on the BLADE DE-
ICE control panel is OFF, or the controller generates a tail rotor deice fail signal, relay K2 is energized. The PWR TAIL
RTR lamp is turned on through the contacts of K2, warning that the tail rotor blade heater power has not been turned off
as required. The main rotor power monitor circuit monitors the voltage from three main rotor blade current transformers.
If power is being applied to any rotor blade heating element, the main rotor power monitor circuit provides a ground
return for fault detector relay K1. If the POWER switch on the BLADE DE-ICE control panel is OFF, or a main blade
deice fail signal is generated by the controller, relay K1 is energized. The PWR MAIN RTR lamp on the BLADE DE-
ICE TEST panel is turned on, warning that the main rotor blade heater power has not been turned off as required.
If there is no ice on the ice detector probe, pressing and releasing the PRESS TO TEST push button on the icing rate
meter will cause the meter’s needle to move to center scale (1.0) and then to drop to zero or below. The ICE DETECTED
0044 00-4
TM 1-1520-237-23 0044 00
caution capsule goes on. The probe heater and aspirator heater turn on at the same time. When the indicator needle goes
below zero, the ICE DETECTED capsule, probe heater, and aspirator heater turn off.
The MANUAL mode of system operation provides the ability to maintain blade deice operation should either the ice
detector or icing rate meter fail, UH-60A UH-60L UH60Q HH-60L 28 vdc from the No. 2 dc primary bus DE-ICE CON-
TRLR circuit breaker, or UH-60A 28 vdc from the No. 1 dc primary bus DE-ICE CONTRLR circuit breaker, sup-
plies the blade deice controller power supply. The blade deice power supply powers the manual mode power supply,
which produces three dc voltages for the three icing rate signals: T (trace) 2.0 vdc, L (light) 3.5 vdc, and M (moderate)
5.0 vdc. The dc voltages are supplied from the blade deice controller to the BLADE DE-ICE control panel. By turning
the MODE select switch out of AUTO and to MANUAL, one of three discrete levels of off-time, T, L, or M, may be
selected. The selected voltage is routed from the BLADE DE-ICE control panel to the main and tail deice integrators in
the blade deice controller. In the MANUAL mode, the off-time (OT) is constant for any selected position and no updating
occurs as in AUTO mode.
During element-on-time periods (EOT), three-phase pulsed current is supplied to the main blade heating elements through
the current transformers of T14/T14A. Each of the current transformer outputs are applied to the blade deice controller’s
current sensing circuits in the main blade fail/fault circuits. The three-phase voltages are also supplied to the controller
which makes proportional adjustments to counteract the effect of power line voltage fluctuations. An increase of any
single blade line current to between 58 and 64 amperes, a decrease to between 22 and 26 amperes, or a ground current of
between 1 to 10 amperes, will cause the current sensing circuits in the controller to produce a fail signal, which causes
the MR DE-ICE FAIL capsule on the caution panel to go on. The same fail signal is applied to the main blade power
monitor, which removes 28 vdc from the main blade contactor driver, deenergizing MN RTR BLADE DE-ICE CNTOR
K60, which removes 115 vac, three-phase power from the distributor. The fail signal applied to the main blade power
monitor is also applied to the main blade control circuits to inhibit the element-on-timer. These malfunctions will cause an
identical shutdown of the main blade deicing system: element-on-time failure, outside air temperature sensor failed open
or shorted, synchronization pulse failure, or distributor advance failure. When a failure is detected, the controller’s main
blade deice channel is latched off by the action of the main rotor power monitor circuit. To attempt to restore system
operation, the POWER switch on the BLADE DE-ICE control panel must be cycled to OFF and returned to ON. If the
problem was transient, the system will return to operation. If the problem remains, the system will again be returned to
the failed condition. If a single blade line is sensed to decrease to between.39 and.43 amperes, the blade deice controller
fail/fault circuit produces a fault output, causing the MR DE-ICE FAULT capsule to go on. However, the blade deice
system, though degraded, will continue to operate.

circuit. To attempt to restore system operation, the POWER switch on the BLADE DE-ICE control panel must be cycled
to OFF and returned to ON. If the problem remains, the system will again be returned to the failed condition.
Internal circuits within the test panel are controlled by selecting specific modes on the five-position rotary switch. The
five rotary switch positions are NORM-SYNC 1-SYNC 2-OAT-EOT. When the switch is at SYNC 1 or SYNC 2, the test
panel interrupts the distributor sync pulse line and injects a false sync signal to the controller. The test panel sync
circuitry provides the controller with a -30 vdc pulse when the switch is at SYNC 1, and provides an open circuit with
the switch at SYNC 2. When at OAT, the switch short circuits the OAT sensor input to the controller. When the switch is
placed to EOT, the EOT test circuit grounds relay K3, which electrically grounds the circuit to the controller. When at
NORM, the test panel does not inject failure signals into the system (outputs), and allows normal operation.
BLADE DEICE TEST PANEL FAULT DETECTION
The main rotor power monitor circuit monitors the voltage from three main rotor blade current transformers. If a main
rotor fault is detected and power remains applied to the main rotor circuitry, relay K1 is energized and the MAIN RO-
TOR POWER indicator lamp is turned on. The energized relay K1 also supplies 28 vdc output to the main rotor fail light
system indicator. The tail rotor power monitor circuit monitors the three-phase ac voltage to the tail rotor heating ele-
ments. If a tail rotor fault is detected, and power remains applied to the tail rotor circuitry, a ground return is provided for
relay K2 and the TAIL RTR PWR indicator lamp is turned on. The energized relay K2 also supplies 28 vdc output to the
tail rotor light system indicator.

(WP 1697 00 ) after first use and every 120 hours thereafter.
The cargo hook system consists of a P/N 70800-02503-111, 8000-pound-capacity or P/N 70800-02503-113, 9000-pound-
capacity cargo hook and electrical circuits which control it. The hook is in the cargo hook well underneath the cabin floor.
The electrical controls of the cargo hook system consist of the following: a CARGO HOOK ARMING switch labeled
SAFE and ARMED; a CARGO HOOK CONTR switch labeled CKPT and ALL; CARGO HOOK EMERG REL. switch
labeled NORM, OPEN and SHORT; a TEST light; CARGO REL. switches on the pilot’s and copilot’s cyclic stick; a
switch labeled NORMAL RLSE on the crewman’s pendant; an emergency hook release button on the pilot’s and copilot’s
collective sticks; and an EMER RLSE button on the crewman’s pendant.
A normal release powered from the No. 2 dc primary bus through the CARGO HOOK CONTR and PWR circuit break-
ers.
A manual release worked by the crewmember through a covered hatch in the cabin floor or by personnel on the ground.
An emergency release system (cockpit or cabin controlled) using an electrically activated explosive charge. When 28 vdc
is supplied to the cartridge it explodes, driving a piston inside the hook into the load arm lock. The load beam will not
support a load, and the CARGO HOOK OPEN light will stay on until the old explosive charge has been replaced. Power
to operate the emergency release system is by the dc essential bus through the CARGO HOOK EMER circuit breaker.
The cargo hook can be placed in a stowed position by opening the cargo hook access cover in the cabin floor, and pulling
the hook to the right and up. The cargo hook shall be maintained in the stow position while not in use. When the hook is
in the stowed position, the load beam rests on a spring-loaded latch assembly and is prevented from vibrating by a Teflon
bumper applying downward pressure on the load beam. To release the hook from its stowed position, downward pressure
is placed on the latch assembly lever, retracting the latch from beneath the load beam, allowing the cargo hook to swing
into the operating position.
CREWMAN’S PENDANT CONTROL
The crewman’s cargo hook pendant consists of two normally open push-button switches marked NORMAL RLSE and
EMER RLSE (Figure 1). The switches control the release of the cargo hook under normal and emergency conditions.
Guards are mounted over each switch to prevent accidental cargo release. The pendant electrically interfaces with the
helicopter system through a six-foot cable assembly. The pendant can be attached to the crewman by way of a strap as-
sembly.
POWER DISTRIBUTION
The cargo hook system gets dc electrical power from the cabin overhead circuit breaker panel. Electrical power of 28 vdc
is supplied by the No. 2 dc primary bus through the CARGO HOOK PWR circuit breaker to the cargo hook relay and
through the CARGO HOOK CONTR circuit breaker to the CARGO HOOK CONTROL switch, CARGO HOOK ARM-
ING switch, pilot’s and copilot’s CARGO REL. switches and to the LOAD BEAM OPEN switch.

NORMAL RELEASE
Placing the CARGO HOOK ARMING switch on the upper console to ARMED completes the circuit from the CARGO
REL. switches on the pilot’s and copilot’s cyclic sticks to the hook. At the same time, the HOOK ARMED advisory light
on the caution/advisory panel goes on. Pressing either CARGO REL. switch opens the cargo hook load arm and releases
the load. At the same time the load arm starts to open, the CARGO HOOK OPEN advisory light goes on. When the load
is released, the load arm will swing up and latch, and the CARGO HOOK OPEN advisory light will go off. If the
CARGO HOOK CONTR switch is placed to ALL, the crewman’s pendant can be used to release the load by pressing the
NORMAL RLSE button.
MANUAL RELEASE
The cargo hook can be opened manually either through the cargo hook access panel in the cabin floor or from outside the
helicopter. Pushing the manual release lever down, on the right side of the hook, opens the cargo hook and releases the
load. If electrical power is on and the CARGO HOOK ARMING switch is at ARMED, the CARGO HOOK OPEN
advisory light will go on and then off as the hook opens and closes.
EMERGENCY RELEASE
Cargo hook emergency release power is provided by the dc essential bus through the CARGO HOOK EMER circuit
breaker. When the crewman’s cargo hook pendant EMER RLSE button, or the pilot’s or copilot’s collective stick
emergency hook release switch is pressed, dc power is supplied through R4 to the EMERG REL switch on the upper
console. With the EMERG REL switch placed to NORM, dc power is routed to the pressure cartridge (squib). The
cartridge explodes and the pressure from the explosion drives a piston into the lock, releasing the load arm.

TEST FUNCTION
The testing function of the cargo hook emergency release system checks the associated circuitry for open and short condi-
tions. When the EMERG REL switch, on the upper console, is placed to OPEN or SHORT, the EMERG REL TEST light
goes on if there are no open or short circuits in the emergency release circuitry. Power is routed from the left relay panel
to one side of the EMERG REL TEST light. The press-to-test light circuit is completed to ground when the EMERG REL
TEST light is pressed. Placing the EMERG REL switch to OPEN, and pressing the emergency hook release switch on the
pilot’s or copilot’s collective stick, or the EMER RLSE button on the crewman’s cargo hook pendant, causes the EMERG
REL TEST light to go on if no open conditions exist in the emergency release circuitry. Placing the EMERG REL switch
to SHORT and pressing the pilot’s, copilot’s, or crewman’s emergency release button, causes the EMERG REL TEST
light to go on if there are no short circuits in the emergency release test circuitry. The weight of the load causes the hook
to open, and the CARGO HOOK OPEN advisory light to go on. The CARGO HOOK OPEN light will remain on until
the explosive charge has been replaced.

DESCRIPTION
The heating and ventilation system consists of heating system with a winterized subsystem, a ventilation system, heat and
ventilation control. See Figure 1, Sheets 1 and 2 and Figure 2, Sheets 1 through 4 for system component location and
block diagrams.
The heating system is a bleed-air system with bleed-air supplied by the main engines under flight conditions or the APU
during ground operations. The heater system uses a bleed-air mixing valve to mix engine or APU bleed-air and ambient
air at a cockpit selected mixture temperature. Heated air is distributed to the cockpit and cabin through a system of ducts.
A mixture temperature sensor works along with the bleed-air mixture valve, regulating the bleed-air flow to match the
mixture temperature selected at the cockpit heating control. On helicopters with mixing valve, 70309-02101-103, the heat-
ing system gives a temperature of 40°F when the outside ambient temperature is -25°F. On helicopters with mixing valve,
70309-02113-101, the heating system gives a temperature of 40°F when the outside ambient temperature is -65°F. The
ventilation system provides ventilated air to the cockpit and cabin. Air obtained from outside the helicopter by an air
intake duct is then distributed by the blower unit through the heating system ducts.
POWER DISTRIBUTION
The ventilation system gets ac and dc electrical power from the pilot’s circuit breaker panel. Electrical power of 28 vdc is
supplied by the No. 2 dc primary bus and routed through the HEAT VENT circuit breakers, to the VENT BLOWER
switch. Electrical power of 115 vac is supplied by the No. 2 ac primary bus and routed through the HEAT & VENT
circuit breaker to open contacts of the BLOWER relay (K-25). The heating system gets dc electrical power from the
copilot’s circuit breaker panel. Electrical power of 28 vdc is supplied by the No. 1 dc primary bus and routed through the
AIR SOURCE HEAT START circuit breaker to the AIR SOURCE HEAT/START switch, HEATER switch and to the
winterization solenoid.
VENTILATION SYSTEM
Placing the VENT BLOWER switch on the upper console ON completes the electrical circuit to the blower and motor.
The blower pulls in outside air through the external air intake and circulates it through the cabin heat ducting.
Placing the HEATER switch ON opens the mixing valve, and bleed-air circulates through the cabin heat ducting. The
HEATER knob on the upper console controls the temperature of the heated bleed-air entering the cabin. Turning the knob
from OFF to MED or HI regulates the temperature of the air entering the cabin by allowing more bleed-air to pass
through the mixing valve into the cabin heat ducting.
Placing the AIR SOURCE HEAT/START switch on the upper console to ENG opens the No. 1 and No. 2 engine bleed-
air shutoff valves, and engine bleed-air goes to the mixing valve. Placing the HEAT switch ON opens the mixing valve,
and bleed-air circulates through the cabin heat ducting. The HEATER knob on the upper console controls the temperature
of the heated air entering the cabin. Turning the knob from OFF to MED or HI regulates the temperature of heated air
entering the cabin by allowing more bleed-air to pass through the mixing valve into the cabin heat ducting.
WINTERIZATION MODE
Mixing valve, 70309-02113-101, has a mode that gives additional bleed-air for maximum heating capacity. When the
ENG ANTI-ICE No. 1 or No. 2 switch is ON or the bleed-air temperature entering the mixing valve is above 200°F, the
winterization mode of the valve is shut off, and the valve operates in the normal mode.

DESCRIPTION
The environmental control system (ECS) consists of a heater/demister and a vapor cycle air conditioner that provides
heating, cooling, ambient air circulation, and humidity control in the helicopter’s cockpit and cabin in addition to the
standard heating/ventilating system. Table 1 lists the ECS components and their locations. The system is controlled from
the ECS control panel on the upper console. The ECS functionally interfaces with the caution/advisory warning system
and the ac electrical system through the electrical control unit (ECU). Panel lighting for the air conditioning controls is
provided by the upper console lights. See Figure 1, Sheets 1 through 6, and Figure 2.

DESCRIPTION - Continued
COMPONENT LOCATION
The evaporator pallet is horizontally-mounted on the left side of the helicopter, rear of the cabin bulkhead. Its major
components are the compressor/motor, evaporator, inlet transition duct, evaporator blower, heater/demister housing,
discharge transition duct, expansion valve, filter/dryer, and hot gas bypass valve. The evaporator and heater/demister hous-
ing are insulated with neoprene foam insulation.
The expansion valve controls the rate of refrigerant evaporation; it allows only enough refrigerant to flow into the
evaporator to keep the evaporator operating efficiently, depending on its heat load. Refrigerant enters the expansion valve
in a liquid state and passes through a small orifice. It emerges as a vapor at a lower pressure. As a vapor and under low
pressure, the refrigerant then enters the evaporator and begins to evaporate. The evaporator is a crossflow plate-fin type
aluminum heat exchanger that absorbs heat by boiling off liquid refrigerant flowing through it. The blower draws hot
cabin air through the evaporator. The heat in this air is absorbed by the evaporating refrigerant. The resultant cool air is
then recirculated through the aircraft air distribution system back into the cabin. At this point, the refrigerant is a low
pressure gas and is drawn back to the compressor through the suction line.
Compressor/Motor
The compressor/motor is a single, hermetically sealed unit. An eight horsepower motor is mounted vertically over a rotary
pump to compress and circulate the R-500 refrigerant throughout the system. The compressor’s function is to draw the
low pressure refrigerant gas (suction) from the evaporator and compress it to a high pressure gas for routing to the
condenser (discharge). An electrical connector for the electrical power supply, discharge port, suction port, and oil level
sight glass are mounted in the compressor/motor housing.
The fiberglass evaporator inlet transition duct connects the evaporator with the evaporator blower. The duct includes guide
vanes to ensure an even air flow through the evaporator.
Evaporator Fan
The evaporator fan is a six-inch vane, axial-type fan that draws return air from the cabin interior and circulates it through
the evaporator.
Heater/Demister Housing
The heater/demister housing is mounted between the evaporator and the evaporator outlet transition duct. It is a steel
housing insulated with neoprene foam. It contains three heating elements, a heater high temperature switch, an air
conditioner low temperature switch, a heater temperature limiting switch, and an aluminum mesh demister pad for water
elimination.

DESCRIPTION - Continued
Conditioned air is ducted to the aircraft air distribution system through the evaporator outlet transition duct. This duct is
constructed of fiberglass and insulated with neoprene foam.
Filter/Dryer
The filter/dryer is mounted in the high pressure (liquid) refrigerant line just before the expansion valve on the evaporator
pallet. Through its molded porous core, both contaminants and moisture are filtered from the refrigerant. Moisture in the
air conditioning system interferes with the proper operation of the expansion valve and reacts with the refrigerant to form
corrosive hydro-fluoric acid.
The hot gas bypass valve regulates the evaporator pressure, hence temperature, to provide evaporator outlet air tempera-
ture adjustment. The cooling system is designed to produce not lower than 42°F conditioned air. The valve will discharge
hot refrigerant gas directly into the evaporator to increase its pressure and, therefore, temperature. The valve receives re-
frigerant from the compressor discharge line to discharge it directly into the evaporator. The valve receives sensing input
from a duct temperature sensor mounted in the helicopter return air plenum, and control voltage from the TEMP CONT
rheostat through the temperature controller in the ECU.
Condenser Pallet
The condenser pallet is horizontally-mounted on the right side of the helicopter aft of the cabin bulkhead. Its major
components are the heat exchanger, condenser fan, transition duct, pressure relief valve, thermal protection switch, and
burst disc. The condenser unit extracts the heat absorbed by the refrigerant in the evaporator, exhausts it overboard, and
changes the refrigerant to a liquid state for routing back to the expansion valve. The refrigerant enters the condenser from
the compressor as a compressed gas under high pressure. Ambient air is blown over the condenser by the fan. Because
the refrigerant is at a higher temperature than the ambient air, the heat is transferred from the refrigerant to the air. The
condenser is constructed similarly to the evaporator. The condenser is a crossflow, plate-fin type heat exchanger that uses
air from the fan to extract heat from the refrigerant gas, allowing it to condense into a manifold that connects to a sub-
cooler, across the condenser lower face, then out the discharge port.
A fiberglass transition duct separates the condenser and blower. It is bolted to flanges on both components and supported
by aluminum brackets.
A pressure relief valve protects the air conditioning system from over pressure. If system pressure reaches 475 psig, the
relief valve will open, discharge refrigerant directly into the condenser transition duct and exhausting it overboard. As
pressure decreases below 475 psig, the pressure relief valve will automatically reseal and air conditioner operation will
resume. The valve is mounted to the high pressure (liquid) discharge refrigerant line.
Burst Disc
A burst disc is included in the system to provide redundancy in high pressure protection. Mounted 9in-line9 with the pres-
sure relief valve, the disc will burst at 500 psig. This would occur under a high pressure condition when both the high
pressure switch and pressure relief valve failed. The burst disc must be replaced after rupture before resuming air
conditioner operation.

TM 1-1520-237-23 0047 00
DESCRIPTION - Continued
Electrical Pallet
The electrical pallet is vertically mounted aft of the condenser and evaporator pallet assemblies in the helicopter aft
transition avionics compartment. The major components are: ECU, air conditioner circuit breaker panel, air conditioner
fault indicator panel, high pressure switch, low pressure switch, refrigerant liquid indicator (sight glass), and high/low
pressure service valves.
The ECU is a sealed unit containing practically all of the electrical components necessary for operation. Contents include
the temperature controller, relays, circuit breakers, and compressor/motor capacitor.
The circuit breaker panel is mounted on the ECU cover. The panel includes four ac circuit breakers and one dc circuit
breaker. A description is as follows:
A fault indicator panel, containing four one-amp circuit breakers, is mounted on the ECU cover to indicate extremes in
either pressure or temperature during ECS operation. The circuit breakers are labeled HIGH PRESSURE, LOW PRES-
SURE, HIGH TEMPERATURE, and LOW TEMPERATURE. High pressure, low pressure, high temperature, or low tem-
perature conditions will cause the affected circuit breaker to pop. The affected breaker should be reset before flight.
Service Valves
The air conditioner contains two service ports for system maintenance; one in the high pressure line and one in the low
pressure line. The service valve in the high pressure line (from compressor to condenser) allows access to the high pres-
sure side of the system for attaching a service hose and pressure gauge. The service valve in the low pressure line (from
evaporator to compressor) allows access to the low pressure side of the system. Access to both pressure lines is required
for monitoring the system during maintenance operations and for servicing the system.
The high and low pressure switches protect the air conditioning system from abnormally high and low pressures. Both
switches are located in the servicing manifold and exposed to either the high or low side pressures. The high pressure
switch will disengage the compressor/motor if system high side pressure reaches between 345 to 355 psi. The compressor/
motor will reengage as pressure decreases to between 270 to 280 psi. The low pressure switch will disengage the
compressor/motor at between 7 to 53 psi. At between 17 to 23 psi, the compressor/motor will reengage.
POWER DISTRIBUTION
Ac power is supplied by the No. 1 generator contactor K1 in the No. 1 junction box and routed through the No. 2 junc-
tion box to the ECU PWR circuit breaker in the remote control circuit breaker box. The ECU PWR circuit breaker is
controlled remotely by the ECS PWR circuit breaker on the copilot’s circuit breaker panel. From the ECU PWR circuit
breaker, ac power is routed to connector J1 on the ECS electrical control unit. In the ECU, the 115 vac three-phase power
arms the normally-open contacts of four relays (K1, K2, K3, and K4), each protected by its own circuit breakers for ac
0047 00-11
TM 1-1520-237-23 0047 00
operation of the ECS compressor, condenser, evaporator, and heater/demister. These circuit breakers are identified on the
ECU AIR CONDITIONER CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL as COMPRESSOR MOTOR, CONDENSER BLOWER,
EVAPORATOR BLOWER, and HEATER ELEMENTS.
Dc power controls the operation of the 115 vac components through dc interlock circuitry. The 28 vdc is supplied by the
No. 2 primary bus and routed through the ECS CONTR circuit breaker on the pilot’s circuit breaker panel to the ECU on
the electrical pallet and to the ECS AIR COND COOL-OFF-FAN switch on the upper console. Air conditioning power
source priorities, listed in Table 2 are established by circuitry in the ac electrical system and the No. 3 relay panel.
APU Generator (Helicopter on Ground) Air conditioning interrupted if: (1) backup pump is
on. or (2) windshield anti-ice is on. Windshield
anti-ice interrupted when backup pump is on.
APU Generator (Helicopter in Air) Air conditioning interrupted while helicopter in air.
Dual Main Generator (No. 1 and No. 2) Air conditioning, backup pump, and windshield
anti-ice can operate simultaneously.
Single Generator (Helicopter in Air or on Ground) Air conditioning interrupted when weight off
or External ac Power (Weight on or Off Wheels) wheels.
SYSTEM OPERATION
Control of the air conditioning system is accomplished by the ECS TEMP CONT, AIR COND, and HTR controls on the
upper console. The temperature rheostat (TEMP CONT COOL-WARM) has two arrows. One arrow indicates an increase
to COOL (counterclockwise), the other an increase to WARM (clockwise). The AIR COND switch is marked FAN-OFF-
COOL. The TEMP CONT rheostat R5 is used with the AIR COND switch to set the desired cabin temperature.
When the switch is placed to either COOL or FAN, the evaporator immediately starts, providing air flow to the cockpit
and cabin. When the manually-operated ambient air valve is open, fresh air is drawn from outside the helicopter into the
plenum chamber, mixed with inside cool or vent air, and circulated through the helicopter. With the ambient air valve
closed, inside air will be recirculated through the helicopter by the evaporator fan. When air conditioning is desired, the
switch is placed to COOL, starting a sequence of events leading to full air conditioning operation. Major electrical
components are started at spaced intervals to prevent surges in 115 vac electrical power. The evaporator fan operates first,
followed by the condenser fan, after a five-second delay. Finally, after an additional ten-second delay, the compressor mo-
tor operates. Temperature control is accomplished by mixing the cool refrigerant in the evaporator with warm refrigerant
in the compressor. This is in response to a signal from the temperature sensor in the return air rear plenum. This signal is
processed by the temperature controller and is adjusted by the TEMP CONT rheostat R5 to open the hot gas bypass valve
solenoid when the desired cabin and cockpit comfort level is reached. Safety of the air conditioning system is maintained
by high and low pressure and temperature switches, and by a pressure relief valve and a burst disk. The switches also
latch individual fault indicators (CB6 through CB9) on the ECU (identified as AIR CONDITIONER FAULT INDICATOR
PANEL) to provide visual indication of an air conditioning system malfunction.
When the helicopter is on the ground, the 28 vdc interlock circuitry is as follows: The AIR COND control is armed with
28 vdc through contacts of relay K82 in the No. 1 junction box. The ECS can then be used either with or without the
APU running (through relay K95). EH60A 86-24561 - SUBQ The APU must be running or external power applied
0047 00-12
TM 1-1520-237-23 0047 00
(contacts B1 and B2 of relay K95 must be closed). Placing the AIR COND switch to COOL energizes evaporator fan
relay K3 to switch on ac power to the evaporator fan. When the hydraulic backup pump and windshield anti-ice are off,
placing the AIR COND switch to COOL also energizes the expansion valve and thermistor through relays K96 and
K80A. After a five-second delay, this energizes relay K5 to in turn energize condenser fan relay K2, which connects 115
vac to start the condenser fan. After an additional ten-second delay, relay K6 energizes. Compressor motor relay K4 then
energizes through the high and low pressure switches, the low temperature switch, and contacts of relay K6. Relay K4
connects ac power to start the compressor, and dc power to light the AIR COND ON capsule on the caution/advisory
panel.
The high and low pressure switches and the low temperature switch are connected in series between 28 vdc from DC
POWER circuit breaker on the ECU and contacts B1-B2 of relay K6. This causes the compressor motor to stop running
when the pressure in the high pressure line exceeds 300 psig, the pressure in the low pressure line drops below 50 psig,
or the temperature in the evaporator duct drops below 35°F. Either of these conditions can be monitored on the AIR
CONDITIONER FAULT INDICATOR PANEL on the ECU. The circuit breakers are marked: HIGH PRESSURE, LOW
PRESSURE, and LOW TEMPERATURE. When one of the switches is activated, 28 vdc is shorted to ground through the
corresponding circuit breaker, which pops the breaker.
Placing the AIR COND switch to FAN arms the HTR switch on the ECS control panel when either the backup pump or
windshield anti-ice is off, or when No. 1 and No. 2 generators are on. Placing the HTR switch to ON energizes relay K7
which provides a ground to energize relay K1 through contacts of relay K3 and the NC contacts of the high temperature
switch in the evaporator duct. When duct temperature exceeds 180°F, the high temperature switch activates to short out
and pop the HIGH TEMPERATURE circuit breaker on the fault isolator panel. Relay K1 switches ac power to energize
the heater/demister coils and relay K7 switches dc power to light the CABIN HEAT ON capsule on the caution/advisory
panel. The heater/demister is also protected by a temperature limiting switch between the high temperature switch and
relay K1, which is set to disconnect power to the heater coils when evaporator duct temperature exceeds 160°F.
When the helicopter is airborne, the AIR COND switch can be armed only when the APU is off (through relay K95).
Operation of the ECS is the same with the helicopter airborne as it is with the helicopter on the ground except that the
backup pump or the windshield anti-ice will not interrupt air conditioning or heater operation because No. 1 and No. 2
generator relay K81A connects the AIR COND and HTR switches to the system components.
EH60A 86-24561 - SUBQ When the helicopter is airborne (weight-off-wheels), the air conditioning will operate only

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
DESCRIPTION
The environmental control system (ECS) consists of a heater/demister and a vapor cycle air conditioner that provide heat-
ing, cooling, ambient air circulation, and humidity control in the helicopter’s cockpit and cabin. Table 1 lists the ECS
components and their locations. The system is controlled from the ECS control panel on the left side of the helicopter,
rear cabin. When the AC/OFF/VENT/HEAT switch is in the VENT position, heated air is circulated through the
helicopter. The ECS functionally interfaces with the MFD/caution/advisory warning system and the ac electrical system
through the electrical control unit (ECU). Panel lighting for the ECS control panel is provided by the lower console
lights/indicator lights dimming. See Figure 1, Sheets 1 through 3, and Figure 2.

COMPONENT LOCATION
The evaporator pallet is horizontally-mounted on the left side of the helicopter, rear of the cabin bulkhead. Its major
components are the compressor/motor, evaporator, inlet transition duct, evaporator blower, heater/demister housing,
discharge transition duct, expansion valve, and hot gas bypass valve. The evaporator and heater/demister housing are
insulated with neoprene foam insulation.
The expansion valve controls the rate of refrigerant evaporation; it allows only enough refrigerant to flow into the
evaporator to keep the evaporator operating efficiently, depending on its heat load. Refrigerant enters the expansion valve
in a liquid state and passes through a small orifice. It emerges as a vapor at a lower pressure. As a vapor and under low
pressure, the refrigerant then enters the evaporator and begins to evaporate. The evaporator is a crossflow plate-fin type
aluminum heat exchanger that absorbs heat by boiling off liquid refrigerant flowing through it. The blower draws hot
cabin air through the evaporator. The heat in this air is absorbed by the evaporating refrigerant. The resultant cool air is
then recirculated through the aircraft air distribution system back into the cabin. At this point, the refrigerant is a low
pressure gas and is drawn back to the compressor through the suction line.
Compressor/Motor
The compressor/motor is a single, hermetically sealed unit. A ten horsepower motor is mounted vertically over a scroll
compressor to compress and circulate the R407C/SUVA 9000 refrigerant throughout the system. The compressor’s func-
tion is to draw the low pressure refrigerant gas (suction) from the evaporator and compress it to a high pressure gas for
routing to the condenser (discharge). An electrical connector for the electrical power supply, discharge port, suction port,
and oil level sight glass are mounted in the compressor/motor housing.
The fiberglass evaporator inlet transition duct connects the evaporator with the evaporator blower. The duct includes guide
vanes to insure an even air flow through the evaporator.
Evaporator Blower
The evaporator blower is a six-inch vane, axial-type fan that draws return air from the cabin interior and circulates it
through the evaporator.
Heater/Demister Housing
The heater/demister housing is mounted between the evaporator and the evaporator outlet transition duct. It is a steel
housing insulated with neoprene foam. It contains three heating elements, a heater high temperature switch, an air
conditioner low temperature switch, a heater temperature limiting switch, and an aluminum mesh demister pad for water
elimination.
Conditioned air is ducted to the aircraft air distribution system through the evaporator outlet transition duct. This duct is
constructed of fiberglass and insulated with neoprene foam.

Filter/Dryer
The filter/dryer is mounted in the high pressure (liquid) refrigerant line just before the expansion valve on the electrical
pallet. Through its molded porous core, both contaminants and moisture are filtered from the refrigerant. Moisture in the
air conditioning system interferes with the proper operation of the expansion valve and reacts with the refrigerant to form
corrosive hydro-fluoric acid.
The hot gas bypass valve regulates the evaporator pressure, hence temperature, to provide evaporator outlet air tempera-
ture adjustment. The cooling system is designed to produce not lower than 42°F (5.6°C) conditioned air. The valve will
discharge hot refrigerant gas directly into the evaporator to increase its pressure and, therefore, temperature. The valve
receives refrigerant from the compressor discharge line to discharge it directly into the evaporator.
Condenser Pallet
The condenser pallet is horizontally-mounted on the right side of the helicopter aft of the cabin bulkhead. Its major
components are the heat exchanger, condenser fan, transition duct, pressure relief valve, thermal protection switch, and
burst disc. The condenser unit extracts the heat absorbed by the refrigerant in the evaporator, exhausts it overboard, and
changes the refrigerant to a liquid state for routing back to the expansion valve. The refrigerant enters the condenser from
the compressor as a compressed gas under high pressure. Ambient air is blown over the condenser by the fan. Because
the refrigerant is at a higher temperature than the ambient air, the heat is transferred from the refrigerant to the air. The
condenser is constructed similarly to the evaporator. The condenser is a crossflow, plate-fin type heat exchanger that uses
air from the fan to extract heat from the refrigerant gas, allowing it to condense into a manifold that connects to a sub-
cooler, across the condenser lower face, then out the discharge port.
A fiberglass transition duct separates the condenser and blower. It is bolted to flanges on both components and supported
by aluminum brackets.
A pressure relief valve protects the air conditioning system from over pressure. If system pressure reaches 475 psig, the
relief valve will open, discharge refrigerant directly into the condenser transition duct and exhaust it overboard. As pres-
sure decreases below 475 psig, the pressure relief valve will automatically reseal and air conditioner operation will
resume. The valve is mounted to the high pressure (liquid) discharge refrigerant line.
Burst Disc
A burst disc is included in the system to provide redundancy in high pressure protection. Mounted 9in-line9 with the pres-
sure relief valve, the disc will burst at 500 psig. This would occur under a high pressure condition when both the high
pressure switch and pressure relief valve failed. The burst disc must be replaced after rupture before resuming air
conditioner operation.
Electrical Pallet
The electrical pallet is vertically mounted aft of the condenser and evaporator pallet assemblies in the helicopter aft
transition avionics compartment. The major components are: ECU, ECS circuit breaker panel, ECS fault indicator panel,
high pressure switch, low pressure switch, filter/dryer, refrigerant liquid indicator (sight glass), and high/low pressure
service valves.
The ECU is a sealed unit containing practically all of the electrical components necessary for operation. Contents include
the temperature controller, relays, circuit breakers, and compressor/motor capacitor.
0048 00-11
TM 1-1520-237-23 0048 00
DESCRIPTION - Continued
The ECS circuit breaker panel is mounted on the ECU cover. The panel includes five ac circuit breakers and one dc
circuit breaker. A description is as follows:
An ECS fault indicator panel, containing four indicator lights, is mounted on the side of the ECU. The lights are labeled
HEATER, EVAPORATOR FAN, CONDENSER FAN, and COMPRESSOR. A light on indicates an open circuit for that
component from a faulty component or wiring or a loose connection. After investigating for problems, the fault reset but-
ton clears the panel lights.
Service Valves
The air conditioner contains two service ports for system maintenance; one in the high pressure line and one in the low
pressure line. The service valve in the high pressure line (from compressor to condenser) allows access to the high pres-
sure side of the system for attaching a service hose and pressure gauge. The service valve in the low pressure line (from
evaporator to compressor) allows access to the low pressure side of the system. Access to both pressure lines is required
for monitoring the system during maintenance operations and for servicing the system.
The high and low pressure switches protect the air conditioning system from abnormally high and low pressures. Both
switches are located in the servicing manifold and exposed to either the high or low side pressures. The high pressure
switch will disengage the compressor/motor if system high side pressure reaches between 345 to 355 psi. The compressor/
motor will reengage as pressure decreases to between 270 to 280 psi. The low pressure switch will disengage the
compressor/motor at between 47 to 53 psi. At between 17 to 23 psi, the compressor/motor will reengage.
POWER DISTRIBUTION
Ac power is supplied by the No. 1 generator contactor K1 in the No. 1 junction box and goes through the contacts of the
compressor power relay K310. From K310, power is routed to connector J14 on the ECU. Ac power is also supplied by
the No. 1 ac primary bus through the ECS/HEAT POWER and HEAT POWER circuit breakers on the copilot’s auxiliary
circuit breaker panel and routed to connector J13 on the ECU. Inside the ECU, the 115 vac three-phase power from the
circuit breakers and the relay arm the normally-open contacts of five relays (SSR1, SSR2, SSR3, SSR4, and SSR5), each
protected by its own circuit breakers for ac operation of the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and heater/demister. These
circuit breakers are identified on the ECU circuit breaker panel as MOTOR COMPRESSOR, CONDENSER FAN,
EVAPORATOR FAN, and HEATER ELEMENTS.
Dc power controls the operation of the 115 vac components through dc interlock circuitry. The 28 vdc is supplied by the
No. 1 dc primary bus and routed through the ECS CONTR circuit breaker on the copilot’s auxiliary circuit breaker panel
to the ECU on the electrical pallet and to the No. 3 relay panel. From the No. 3 relay panel, the 28 vdc continues on to
the AC/OFF/VENT/HEAT switch on the ECS control panel. Air conditioning power source priorities, listed in Table 2 are
established by circuitry in the ac electrical system and the No. 3 relay panel.

TM 1-1520-237-23 0048 00
AIR CONDITIONING
POWER SOURCE SYSTEM OPERATION
SYSTEM OPERATION
Control of the ECS system is accomplished by the ECS control panel at the rear left side of the aircraft cabin. The tem-
perature rheostat (COOL-WARM) has two arrows. One arrow indicates an increase to COOL (counterclockwise), the
other an increase to WARM (clockwise). The ECS mode select switch is marked AC/OFF/VENT/HEAT. The rheostat R1
is used with the mode select switch to set the desired cabin temperature.
When the switch is placed to either AC or VENT, the evaporator immediately starts, providing air flow to the cockpit and
cabin. When air conditioning is desired, the switch is placed to AC, starting a sequence of events leading to full air
conditioning operation. Major electrical components are started at spaced intervals to prevent surges in 115 vac electrical
power. The evaporator fan operates first, followed by the condenser fan, after a five-second delay. Finally, after an addi-
tional ten-second delay, the compressor motor operates. Temperature control is accomplished by mixing the cool refriger-
ant in the evaporator with warm refrigerant in the compressor. Temperature is adjusted by the temperature rheostat R1
which opens the hot gas bypass valve solenoid when the desired cabin and cockpit comfort level is reached. Safety of the
air conditioning system is maintained by high and low pressure and temperature switches, and by a pressure relief valve
and a burst disk. The switches also latch individual fault indicators on the ECU (identified as the ECS FAULT INDICA-
TOR PANEL) to provide visual indication of an ECS system malfunction.
The 28 vdc interlock circuitry is described as follows. The ECS control mode select switch is armed with 28 vdc through
contacts of relay K301 in the No. 3 relay panel. Placing the switch to AC energizes condenser fan relay SSR2 to switch
on ac power to the condenser fan and also energizes the expansion valve and thermistor. Motor compressor relay SSR1
then energizes as a result of compressor power relay K310 energizing and sending ac power from the No. 1 junction box
through its contacts. Dc power to light the AC ON capsule on the ECS control panel is received from relay K1.
Placing the ECS control mode select switch to VENT energizes evaporator fan relay SSR3 to switch on ac power to the
evaporator fan. Placing the ECS control mode select switch to HEAT energizes heater elements relays SSR4 and SSR5
which, in turn, provide power to the contacts of heater overtemperature switches in the evaporator duct. When duct tem-
perature goes too high, the high temperature switch activates to short out and pop the HEATER circuit breaker on the
fault indicator panel. Relay SSR1 switches ac power to energize the heater/demister coils and relay K2 switches dc power
to light the HEAT ON capsule on the ECS control panel. The heater/demister is also protected by these heater overtem-
perature switches which are set to disconnect power to the heater coils when evaporator duct temperature goes too high.
The ECS control mode select switch can be armed only when the APU is off (through relay K302), when the external
power is on (through relay K312), and when BOTH the No. 1 and No. 2 generators are on (through relays K304 and
K305). Operation of the ECS will be interrupted if the rescue hoist or blade de-ice systems are used.

UNIT LEVEL
The rescue hoist is post-mounted in the cabin on the right side of the helicopter when installed. The hoist system consists
of modular components, electrically driven and electronically controlled, to provide maximum lift capacities of 300
pounds at 0 to 250 feet-per-minute and 600 pounds at 0 to 125 feet-per-minute. The hoist motor, mounted at the top of
the pole, provides reel-in and reel-out drive of a 250-foot hoist cable. A fail-safe mechanism at all times limits the
induced loading to the hoist to 1200 pounds. A continuously running circulating fan cools the hoist motor. The hoist is
controlled through a lower console mounted RESCUE HOIST CONTROL panel and/or crewman’s control pendant grip in
the cabin. A hoist cable shear system is used to cut the hoist cable in case of emergency, by exploding a squib-actuated
cable-cutter. The cut cable then drops free of the hoist boom. Power to operate the rescue hoist system is from the No. 2
primary dc bus through a circuit breaker on the mission readiness circuit breaker panel, marked RESQ HST CONTROL.
Power for the cable cutter system is from the dc essential bus through a circuit breaker, marked HOIST CABLE SHEAR.
Operation of the rescue hoist is disabled if the helicopter’s No. 1 or No. 2 converter fails.
Power for the squib test light is controlled by the caution/advisory panel BRT/DIM-TEST switch. When this switch is in
the center (normal) position, 28 vdc is applied to the squib test light circuit. Placing the BRT/DIM-TEST switch to BRT/
DIM applies a dimming signal to the squib test light circuit from the indicator light dimmer. For a further description of
squib test light power, refer to instrument panel and consoles indicator light dimming, WP 0035 00
The boom assembly module consists of the boom head, up-limit switch, cable-cut device, and a cable guide, all installed
in the boom. The boom head is allowed to swivel from side-to-side and guide the cable to wrap or unwrap from a 30°
cone angle. The upper limits of cable control includes an automatic means for decelerating the cable to 67 feet-per-minute
cable speed. At 10 feet below the boom head, a caution light on the crewman’s pendant marked CAUTION will go on.
The cable will again decrease speed to 20 feet-per-minute at 8 to 12 inches below the boom head.
Four limit switches are tripped by actuation assembly cams. They are: a down all stop, that actuates when 250 feet of
cable is reeled out; a down-limit switch, that actuates at 247 feet, to provide deceleration; a 10-foot caution switch that
actuates when the hook is within 8 to 10 feet of the boom head or within 10 feet of the down limit (240 feet); and an up
deceleration switch, that actuates when the cable hook is within 12 to 18 inches of the boom head.
The crewman’s control pendant grip is a hand held control in the cabin. The pendant grip is connected to the control box
by a cable connector. The control pendant contains three switches: HOIST cable control, BOOM positioning, and ICS.
The HOIST control is a directional and variable speed, spring-loaded to center switch with positions of OFF, UP, and
DOWN. As the switch is moved further away from OFF, the hoist speed increases in the marked direction. When the
switch is released the hoist will stop. The BOOM position switch, with marked positions of OUT and IN, operates in the
same manner as the HOIST switch, except the boom moves in or out at a single speed. The ICS control switch, on the
front of the pendant, provides the operator with intra-helicopter communication.
A cable shear feature releases a rescue hoist load in case of an emergency. The system consists of a dual squib-actuated
cable cutter, a CABLE SHEAR switch and a SQUIB test circuit. The cutter may be fired by the pilot or the copilot from
the SHEAR switch on the control panel, or by the hoist operator using the CABLE-CUT switch on top of the control
box. The SQUIB test circuit consists of a TEST-NORM switch and a test good IND light. When the SQUIB switch is at
NORM and the SHEAR switch is placed to FIRE, electrical power is sent to the dual squib for firing. The exploding
cartridge then drives a cutter into the hoist cable and shears it. Once fired, the dual squib must be replaced.
0049 00-1
TM 1-1520-237-23 0049 00
momentary toggle switch and a press-to-test SQUIB indicator lamp. The squib test circuit consists of a relay, switch,
resistor and diode. The squib test circuit components are mounted on the inside of the rear removable panel. The switches
and indicator lamp are mounted to the front of the panel under the lighted information plate. The control panel electrical
interfaces with the helicopter system through an electrical connector on the side of the control panel.
The rescue hoist system is comprised of a rescue hoist unit, a movable control handle, a control pendant cable assembly,
a pilot control panel, and a crew control panel. These components are considered Line Replaceable Units (LRU) and they
are shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4. The hoist system requires 200 V, 3 phase 400 Hz, 24 amp main power; 28 vdc 5
amp control power and a separate 28 vdc 5 amp input for cable cutter power.
The unit includes an electric motor, a hoist assembly, a controller section, and aerodynamic fairings. The hoist assembly
contains a rotating drum, which is driven by the electric motor through a gear train and a clutch assembly to raise and
lower a 290 foot cable terminated in a swivel hook. A brake assembly inside the drum locks the drum when input power
is cut off or the load tries to overhaul the motor, and the clutch assembly allows slippage if the load on the hook exceeds
1800 pounds. A levelwind mechanism on the hoist assembly ensures even winding of the cable on the drum. Limit
switches sense when the cable approaches the full-in or full-out position, and when the cable reaches these positions. A
potentiometer coupled to the drum continuously senses cable position for cable pay out indication.
The hoist utilizes a tension roller located between the cable guide and the drum. The tension roller is gear driven by the
drum through an over-running clutch such that when reeling out, the tension roller is rotating faster than the tangential
AB0633
SA
0049 00-2
TM 1-1520-237-23 0049 00
speed of the drum, thereby maintaining a 9pull9 on the cable at no load. In like manner, the tension roller rotates slower
that the tangential speed of the drum when reeling in, thus providing drag on the cable which ensures tight cable storage
on the drum under all conditions.
The cable assembly for this hoist system consists of a wire rope with a swagged stainless steel ball/shank fitting. The wire
rope is 3/16 inch diameter, corrosion resistant, performed spin resistant type. The drum end of the cable assembly is cut
off by an inert gas shielded electric arc process such that the cable end is sealed and made suitable for attachment at the
drum anchor point. The swivel hook assembly prevents inadvertent load release and is operable with one hand.
The swivel hook assembly incorporates a lightweight high strength honeycomb aluminum crushable bumper assembly.
During normal hoist operations after the slow in limit switch has actuated, the crushable bumper triggers the 9full in9 limit
switch plunger to stop the hoist. In the event of a failure of the slow in limit signal, the crushable bumper will 9absorb9
all the rotational energy to safely stop the hoist at the 9full in9 position. The rotational energy at full speed is capable of
producing loads in excess of the rating of the cable. This provides a last line safety device to minimize to the greatest
extent possible a hoist cable breakage due to a single point failure. A crushed bumper also provides the operator a visual
indication that a failure has occurred.
The cable cutter assembly consists of a pressure cartridge, guillotine and anvil, all of which are contained in the cable
guide housing. The cable cutter has a 10 year life. The specific minimum 9all fire9 current of the pressure cartridge is 5
amps per bridge. This cartridge has the highest EMI rejection with a guaranteed 9no fire9 rating of 1 watt.
The speed of the hoist is continuously variable from zero to a full speed of 350 feet per minute. It incorporates four guide
rollers to guide the cable into the hoist at large fleet angles due to either high winds (30 m/s) or aircraft movement. The
bell mouth swivels to follow the angle of the cable at that condition. See below for leading particulars of the High Speed
Rescue Hoist System. Figure 5 shows the High Speed Rescue Hoist System Installation drawings.

The hoist system includes a pilot control panel. This will allow the pilot to completely override any hoist command and
operate the hoist at a fixed speed. Provisions for cutting the hoist cable are provided with a guarded switch to avoid ac-
cidental firing of the cable cutter. All indicators are NVG compatible for one second following application of 28 vdc
power. All indicators are illuminated as a test feature.
The hoist system includes a crew control panel. The crew control panel has a switch for the SEARCH LIGHT, a SQUIB
TEST switch, and an ARM TEST switch. Provisions for cutting the hoist cable are provided with a guarded switch to
avoid accidental firing of the cable cutter. Also, the crew control panel can be used to activate the NVG lighting by plac-
ing the SEARCH LIGHT switch to the lower position.
The control system allows for two modes of control with the pilot having the highest priority and the movable control
handle having the lowest priority. All controls provide indications of overheating, cable extremes and cable length and
allow control of the hoist operation. The speed command from the pilot control panel is fixed while variable speed is
provided at the crew control panel and pendant control. The pendant control handle controls hoist speed via the deflection
of the thumbwheel which is continuously variable and spring loaded to the off position. All controls have automatic slow
speed prior to the automatic stop at the cable extremes.
The pilot and the crew controls have a guarded switch for activation of the cable cutter electro-ballistic device.
Searchlight/hover trim capability is provided in the pendant control handle.

The hoist is equipped with the limit switches that are designed to slow down the hoist as it approaches each cable
extreme and to stop the hoist at each cable extreme. The actuation of the 9full-in9 or 9full-out9 limit switches also il-
luminate a NVG compatible indicator on each of the control panels and the movable control handle indicating the hoist
has reached the end positions. Each limit switch consists of two switches wired redundantly so that the failure of either
switch will not inhibit limit switch operation.
The electronic controller contains internal circuitry that monitors the status of the 9up slow9 limit switches. The 9up slow9
limit switch when actuated slows the retracting cable speed to 50 ± 20% fpm fixed. This limit switch is actuated when the
retracting cable is 10 ± 2 ft from the fully reeled in position. If the electronic controller detects a 9full-in9 switch actua-
tion with no 9up slow9 actuation, the electronic controller inhibits hoist operation. This feature is needed because of the
high speed capabilities of the hoist and will prevent the possibility of breaking the cable. It is important that ground test-
ing of the full-in limit switch be done after the 9up slow9 switch is actuated. When the cable is reeled out, at 10 ± 2 ft
from the full-out position, the intermediate down switch actuates resulting in a speed deceleration to 50 ± 20% fpm in the
down direction. These are built-in safety features of the hoist to avoid reaching cable extremities at full speed. The hoist
controller limits the acceleration and deceleration to 1 second from 0 to full speed and from full speed to zero speed. The
full-out limit switches stop the hoist with 3.5 to 4.5 dead cable turns on the hoist drum. The full-in limits switches actuate
when the cable is at full-in with the conical spring hook assembly installed.
As an added safety feature, the rescue hoist system incorporates an emergency full-out switch. The switch will actuate if
the full-out switch signal path fails to stop the hoist. Further operation of the hoist system is inhibited and can only be
bypassed by actuating the emergency bypass switch located at front of the hoist.

System Protection
The hoist motor has an internal thermal switch that senses the motor temperature under overheating conditions. The actua-
tion of the thermal switch illuminates an indicator on all control panels. A thermal switch activation will not stop hoist
operations. The hoist system will operate at a reduced rate to permit cool down. When ready, it resets automatically.
The controller baseplate also has a thermal switch, which when hot also illuminates the MOTOR HOT indicator on the
control panel. Controller baseplate overheat operation is the same as motor overheat operation - hoist function continues
at reduced speed. When ready, the controller baseplate thermal switch resets automatically. Reduced loads are recom-
mended when the MOTOR HOT indicator is illuminated.
The power drive bias voltages and the power drive temperature are also monitored. In the event of power drive bias volt-
age failure or power drive temperature overheat all displays on the pendant are illuminated and hoist operation is stopped.
When the conditions are cleared, the displays return to normal and hoist operation may continue.
The hoist system contains an input voltage monitor. If an undervoltage condition is present, all displays on the pendant
are illuminated. To clear an undervoltage condition, cycling of the power on switch is required.
The hoist structure can withstand a static load of 2250 lbs. The hoist has an overload safety clutch that will allow the
cable drum to rotate under high loads. The slip clutch prevents cable failure or shock loading of the aircraft structure in
the event of a cable snag. The clutch slips between 1200 and 1800 lbs.
The hoist is also equipped with a 9fail safe9 load lowering brake that prevents hoist loads from overhauling the motor. A
9fail safe9 solenoid brake is also included in the motor. This brake prevents unwinding of the cable while the hoist is at
rest.
NOTE
The cable payout reading is for reference only since the cable stretch varies with the
load and also varies with the amount of cable paid out.
Cable length indicators are provided in the pilot control panel, crew control panel and the movable control handle. The
readouts are in feet, NVG compatible and sunlight readable. The readout intensity is dimmed via a 28 vdc input.
Cycle Counting
The hoist has a cycle counter that records the number of drum revolutions. By dividing the cycle counter number by the
number of turns of the drum per a complete hoist cycle, the equivalent number of hoist cycles can be accurately obtained
(356 counts per cycle).
Emergency Input
Emergency mode can be initiated by shorting the emergency input to the 28 RTN signal. Hoist operation will then
proceed at a reduced speed.
This input allows airframe detected faults to be used to reduce hoist speed.
Rescue hoist cables are subjected to severe operating conditions. Properly applied operating techniques and inspection and
maintenance procedures can extend cable life considerably and eliminate causes of fouling failures resulting in a greater
degree of safety during hoisting operations.
Rescue hoist cables are made of strands of stainless steel. Nineteen strands consisting of seven individual wires each are
used to achieve a flexible, spin resistant cable.
0049 00-9
TM 1-1520-237-23 0049 00
Cable strength is in the order of four times working load, therefore, cable breakage failures will not occur unless the
cable is damaged.
Proper hoist function depends on the wrap of the cable on the drum and the cable load created by the tension roller
system. If the wrapped cable loses tension, fouling will occur.
Breeze-Eastern has found the following ground procedures to be vital in achieving reliable rescue hoist operation:
CAUTION
Damage to load cable will occur if load cable is wound from hoist drum onto a
take-up reel. This can induce twist into the load cable and cause miswrapping when
winding back onto the drum.
Reeling in:
It is important that cable is reeled in under a reasonably heavy, even pull so that it does not wrap loosely on the drum. A
drag load must be applied using a gloved hand or clean heavy cloth on the cable to achieve tight, even layers on the
drum.
Reeling in should be accomplished at a slow speed so that when loops form they can be straightened out and not form
kinks. A kink in the cable is caused by a loop in the cable being pulled up tight, resulting in a sharp, permanent bend in
the cable. Kinks can lead to fouling failures as they cause a retarding force on the cable when the kink gets hung up go-
ing through the cable guide, especially when reeling out with no load.
If it is required to reel in the cable at full speed for acceptance test purposes, we suggest the cable be reeled out in a
straight line for its full length so that no kinks and attendant permanent cable damage occur reeling in. If the purpose of
the test is to measure hoist speed, Breeze-Eastern suggests a better way to accomplish this would be to time a specified
shorter length.
CAUTION
Damage to cable will occur if the action of the tension roller is retarded, causing the
cable to immediately loosen on the drum and foul. It is important that there is no
retarding load on the cable while reeling out.
Reeling out:
The rescue hoist unit incorporates a tension roller system, the purpose of which is to ensure that there is always tension
on the cable. During reeling out, the peripheral speed of the tension roller is slightly higher than that of the drum so the
cable is always under tension between the roller and the drum. The load is in the order of seventeen pounds.
When reeling out, the cable may be allowed to coil on the ground. It may also be coiled in a drum, however, caution
must be exercised while reeling in to avoid kinks.

TM 1-1520-237-23 0050 00
UNIT LEVEL
The auxiliary power unit system consists of an auxiliary power unit (APU), accessories, controls, a monitoring system,
and a starting system (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The system provides pneumatic power for main engine starting and cabin
heating, electrical and hydraulic power for ground operations, and in-flight emergency electrical power. APU system ac-
cessories include a prime/boost pump, hydraulic accumulator, hydraulic handpump, hydraulic utility module, hydraulic
backup pump, ac generator, and hydraulic start motor. The prime/boost pump, above the No. 1 fuel cell, is used to prime
engine and APU fuel lines, and provide fuel under boost pressure, for APU operation at high altitudes. The hydraulic ac-
cumulator, in the aft midsection cabin ceiling, provides the hydraulic pressure used to drive the APU starter. The APU
starter is a hydraulic start motor mounted on the APU. If the APU fails during light-off, the hydraulic accumulator is
recharged manually by pumping the hydraulic handpump. Once the APU is operating, the ac generator, mounted on the
APU, provides electrical power to the helicopter systems. The hydraulic utility module and backup pump, on the left
forward deck within the main rotor pylon, automatically recharges the depleted hydraulic accumulator for the next APU
start. The APU controls are in the cockpit on the upper console. The control consists of an APU CONTR switch and an
APU fire detector/fuel shut-off selector T-handle. Indicator lights on the caution/advisory panel permit cockpit monitoring
of the APU system. Monitored conditions include: APU ON, APU FAIL, APU OIL TEMP HI, APU ACCUM LOW, and
PRIME BOOST PUMP ON.
Power of 28 vdc for the APU system is supplied by both the battery bus and the battery utility bus through circuit break-
ers both identified as APU CONTR INST on the lower console. The APU is started with the APU CONTR ON/OFF
switch on the upper console. Placing the switch ON sends a 28 vdc start signal, through the APU T-handle switch, to the
Electronic Sequence Unit (ESU). Initially, this signal comes from the battery bus through one of the circuit breakers and
in the left relay panel through diode CR1 to the APU CONTR switch. However, during switch over from battery power to
either external power or the helicopter’s main engine generators or APU generator, the battery bus is momentarily de-
energized. This condition would cause the APU to shut down because of loss of the start signal. To prevent inadvertent
drop out of the APU, relay K47, in the left relay panel, has a 0.5 second time delay at dropout. Contacts A1 and A2,
previously closed, will remain closed during the bus switch over, allowing 28 vdc from the battery utility bus to be ap-
plied through diode CR2 to the APU CONTR switch through the other circuit breaker to maintain the start signal connec-
tion.
If, on helicopters with APU ESU 160200-201, APU failure is caused by a momentary power interruption, restoration of
power before the APU coasts down to a full stop causes the ESU to reset and the APU fuel valves to recycle according to
the APU speed existing when power is restored. Excessive fuel can thus flow, causing a hazardous condition in the APU
compartment. On helicopters with APU ESU, 160200-600, restoration of power after a momentary interruption will cause
the ESU to prevent an APU restart, allowing it to coast down to a full stop. The ESU cannot initiate a restart until the
APU CONTR switch is first placed OFF and then ON.
When the start signal is applied to the ESU, the ESU in turn sends a signal that opens the APU hydraulic start valve,
releasing the hydraulic accumulator charge. This charge turns the APU hydraulic start motor and starts the APU compres-
sor and fuel pump rotating. When the APU reaches 90% speed plus 1.5 seconds, the maximum fuel solenoid valve opens,
allowing the fuel control governor to control fuel flow. As the unloaded APU continues to accelerate to 103% speed, the
APU ACCUM LOW capsule on the caution/advisory panel or legend on multifunction display will go on. During the start
and operation, the start bypass valve allows some APU bleed-air to escape, to prevent a possible compressor stall. The
start bypass valve is closed (not allowing any bleed-air to escape) whenever either engine is started by placing the AIR
SOURCE HEAT/START switch to APU. If the APU fails, it will shut down automatically and the reason for shutdown
will show on APU ESU BITE indicators. If the APU fire detector/fuel shutoff selector T-handle is pulled, the APU prime/
boost shutoff valve will close; a stop command signal is sent to the ESU, shutting off any fuel valves and ignition; and
then the APU will shut down (Figure 3 and 4).

UNIT LEVEL
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
The auxiliary power unit (APU), model 116305-100 through 116305-300 series, consists of a gas turbine power section, a
reduction gear drive, and appropriate controls and accessories.
The gas turbine power section uses a single centrifugal compressor and a single-stage radial inflow turbine mounted back-
to-back on the end of the high speed shaft. The shaft is supported on two bearings mounted in the air inlet housing. Air
flowing through the inlet screen over the bearings to the compressor promotes long bearing and bearing lubricant life.
Power extracted from the turbine drives the compressor and high speed output shaft. The combustor is an annular type
with six air-atomizing fuel injection points. Ignition is done with a separate pressure atomizing fuel nozzle and a spark
plug. Once ignition and combustion is completed, a purge valve on top of the compressor allows compressor discharge
pressure (Pcd) to bleed through the fuel nozzle, to continuously keep it clean for the next start.
A high speed pinion gear and shaft connected to the main rotor shaft provides the input to the reduction gear drive. The
pinion is supported by the three planetary gears. An internal ring gear which fits over the three planetary gears reduces
turbine shaft speed of 61,565 RPM to an output speed to the axial pad of 12,000 RPM. A set of gears extending from the
output shaft are used to drive the accessory pads on the gear box upper section at 4235 and 8229 RPM. The lubrication
pump, built into the gear box, is also driven by this accessory gear system. The accessory gear box provides pads for an
ac generator, start motor, and a fuel control assembly. A magnetic pickup on the accessory gear box senses speed by
measuring speed of the fuel control gear teeth.
The fuel system consists of a fuel pump and a control assembly (Figure 3). The fuel pump is protected by a 10-micron
inlet filter. The control assembly is protected by a 25-micron filter. A hydromechanical governor and metering valve
control fuel flow to the engine during ignition, and once it has accelerated to operating speed. An electronic sequence unit
(ESU) provides for APU shutdown after turbine overspeed, under-speed, high exhaust temperature, low oil pressure, loss
of electrical power, or sequence failure.
The power section assembly is comprised of integrated compressor, combustion, and turbine sections. The integrated
compressor utilizes a centrifugal impeller and diffuser to provide the compressed air for combustion and bleed air
purposes. Compressed air is contained by the compressor assembly housing and is directed into the annular combustion
chamber and to the bleed air outlet port when bleed air flow is utilized. Fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber
and combined with compressed air then ignited, which creates the hot gas flow that drives the turbine. The turbine section
utilizes a turbine nozzle to increase the hot gas flow velocity and direct it against the blades of a turbine wheel. The hot
gasses transmit energy into the turbine wheel and are discharged after passing through the turbine wheel.
The gearbox assembly houses the reduction geartrain that reduces the output rotational speed of the power section as-
sembly to the speeds necessary for operation of accessories and customer furnished equipment. Output pads are provided
for mounting a generator and starter. The shaft speeds are 12,000 RPM for the generator and 8190 RPM for the starter at
100 percent APU operation speed.
The controls and accessories section includes those elements required for proper APU operation: electronic sequencing
unit (ESU), fuel system, lubrication system and ignition system. The APU is equipped with a fully-automatic control

system that properly sequences control of fuel and ignition during starting and operation. All APU speed control, switch-
ing and protection functions are done through the ESU which is mounted separately from the APU. APU speed is
regulated by an ESU signal to the fuel control torque motor assembly that provides delivery of the correct amount of fuel
regardless of ambient conditions and load requirements. Overspeed protection is provided by an electronic overspeed
switch that is automatically actuated, if required.
The fuel system contains components (Figure 3) which function automatically to provide proper starting and acceleration
and to maintain constant APU speed under all operating conditions. Components of the fuel system are: fuel filter as-
sembly, fuel control assembly, fuel solenoid valve, fuel manifold assembly, fuel check valve and three primary/three
secondary fuel nozzle assemblies.

TM 1-1520-237-23 0051 00
The lubrication system provides lubrication for all gears, shafts and bearings within the APU. The system oil pump
maintains operating oil pressure. The lubrication system consists of an oil pump, oil filter element, low oil pressure
switch, oil temperature bulb, magnetic drain plug, fill to spill plug and oil fill cap with dip stick.
The electrical system provides automatic actuation in proper sequence of the circuits which control APU starting, ignition,
acceleration, fuel flow and monitoring. Components of the electrical system includes the ignition unit, igniter plug lead,
igniter plug assembly, motional pickup transducer, hourmeter assembly, thermocouple, APU wiring harness assembly and
fuel control wiring harness assembly.
The APU controls, on the upper console, consist of a control switch and a fire detector/fuel shutoff selector T-handle. The
APU CONTR switch, with marked positions OFF and ON, controls the operation of the APU. Placing the switch to ON
energizes the APU hydraulic start valve, setting it in the open position to release the APU accumulator hydraulic charge
to the hydraulic start motor. The control switch receives electrical power from the battery bus through the circuit breaker
marked APU CONTR INST on the lower console. The fire detector/fuel shutoff selector T-handle, marked APU, warns the
pilot/copilot of a fire in the APU compartment, and arms the extinguishing system. When pulled, the T-handle de-
energizes the prime/boost pump and APU prime/boost shutoff valve and energizes the control valve and arming system in
the fire extinguishing module. The T-handle microswitch receives electrical power from the battery utility bus through the
circuit breaker marked FIRE EXTGH on the lower console.

A medevac kit consisting of a litter support assembly and provisions for three rear-facing troop seats may be installed in
the cabin after removing the existing troop seats. The medevac litter support assembly, when installed, is directly below
the main transmission. The support consists of a central pedestal which can be turned about a vertical axis. Four litter
supports are cantilevered from the pedestal. There are three possible configurations with variations within each. These are
the FOUR-MAN LITTER, the six-man AMBULATORY, and the SIX-MAN LITTER. In the Four-Man Litter configura-
tion, rotation of the central pedestal permits four litter patients to be loaded from either side of the helicopter. For the Six-
Man AMBULATORY, the upper litter support is lowered (from the FOUR-MAN LITTER position) to accommodate three
patients seated side by side on each side of the pedestal. With the SIX-MAN LITTER arrangement, both litter supports
are moved upward to provide clearance for two litters to be placed on the floor, one on each side of the pedestal, beneath
the litter supports. These floor litters are held in place by restraints and tiedowns. The pedestal cannot be rotated unless
litters are removed, and restraint tubes are rotated out of the way. Upper litter supports are capable of being tilted for
loading or unloading litter patients. The medevac kit is positioned along the longitudinal axis of the helicopter for flight,
to allow full attention of the patients by the medic. The central pedestal also contains belts for each litter support, belt
provisions for ambulatory patients, provisions for eight 1000 ml. intravenous fluid bags, and provisions for two oxygen
bottles.
LITTER LIGHTING
Two litter lights are installed in the pedestal at each litter. Each light contains a PUSH-ON, PUSH-OFF switch. The
positioning of those lights is adjustable. Power to operate the litter lights is from the No. 1 and No. 2 dc primary buses
through circuit breakers on the mission readiness circuit breaker panel, marked No. 1 LTR LTS and No. 2 LTR LTS. The
lights are operated from a split bus to provide one light at each litter in case of a single dc primary bus failure. The three-
main rear-facing seat provisions are in the forward portion of the cabin, and accommodate standard troop seats.
ELECTRICAL POWER
There is also a 115 vac, 60 Hz frequency converter to provide electrical power for use of standard hospital equipment. On

an additional 90 seconds, making the total run-time of 180 seconds when the kit is installed. The winterization kit ac-
cumulator supplies extra hydraulic charge to the APU start motor during cold weather operation. The winterization kit
accumulator is identical to the accumulator already installed. Both accumulators are mounted on the APU start valve
(Figure 1). Both accumulators are serviced with nitrogen at a common servicing point. In case of either accumulator
malfunctioning, the other accumulator will continue to operate normally. The winterization kit accumulator is precharged
with nitrogen to 1450 psig at 70°F and then pressurized hydraulically to 2700 to 3100 psig. When starting the APU, both
accumulators are discharged at the same time. A winterization kit time-delay relay is wired in series with the APU ac-
cumulator time-delay relay in the right relay panel. This ensures that the backup pump will run long enough for both ac-
cumulators to be recharged hydraulically.

The ESSS range extension system provides additional fuel from external fuel tanks to extend the range of the helicopter’s
mission (Figure 1, Sheets 1 and 2). The external range extension system fuel tanks are supported by the two vertical sup-
port pylons (VSP) on each horizontal stores support (HSS). A jettisonable 450-gallon tank is installed on each inboard
VSP, while a jettisonable 230-gallon tank is installed on each outboard VSP. For a description of the ESSS jettison system
operation, refer to WP 0058 00. With the use of engine bleed-air, the ullage space in the external tanks can be pressur-
ized. This will allow fuel transfer from the external tanks to the main fuel tanks. Fuel lines carrying fuel to the main fuel
tanks contain check valves to prevent back flow. Bleed air lines incorporate check valves which eliminate the backflow of
the fuel vapor into the pneumatic/bleed air system. The range extension system does not supply fuel directly to the
engines, but does replenish the fuel in the main tanks through the right main tank. The external tanks can only be gravity
refueled. Defueling the tanks can be done by either the gravity method through the sump drain valve; or the suction
method, by inserting a hose into the refuel port.
The external range extension fuel transfer and quantity systems consist of the fuel management control panel on the aft
portion of the lower console, a fuel low-level sensor in each external fuel tank, a fuel temperature transducer, a fuel flow
transmitter (analog signal), a right external tank fuel flow sensor (discrete signal), and a left external tank fuel flow sensor
(discrete signal), all on the fuel flow sensor panel above the main fuel tanks; a fuel overflow sensor (discrete signal); a
right inboard bleed-air regulator valve, right outboard bleed-air regulator valve, right inboard shutoff gate valve, and a
right outboard shutoff gate valve on the right HSS; and a left inboard bleed-air regulator valve, left outboard bleed-air
regulator valve, left inboard shutoff gate valve, and a left outboard shutoff gate valve on the left HSS. The external range
extension fuel transfer and quantity systems functionally interface with the main tank fuel quantity system, the caution/
advisory warning system, left drag beam switch through the ground sense relay in the left relay panel, and console and
indicator lighting systems.
UH60A UH60L UH-60Q HH-60L The ESSS range extension system receives ac and dc electrical power from the mission
readiness circuit breaker panel. The 115 vac electrical power is supplied by the No. 2 ac primary bus through the AUX

CONTROL/INDICATOR FUNCTION
SELF-TEST
Pressing the TEST button on the auxiliary fuel management control panel initiates a system self-test routine. The self-test
routine basically performs memory checksum; displays 8 sequentially in each digital display; verifies the temperature sen-
sor is connected by checking for a temperature signal equivalent to -60° to 65°C; verifies fuel flow transmitter is con-
nected by checking for an electrical ground or pulses from the meter; does a trial calculation based on a known tempera-
ture and flow transmitter input and compares this with a known good value; and checks the digital display and indicator
lights. When the TEST button is pressed, the following occurs:
+ With the TEST button is pressed, all control panel indicators go on and the digital display indicates 8888.
+ When the TEST button is released, the digital display indicates the digit 8 in sequence from left to right three times.
+ The digital display indicates either 4, 5, or 8 (preset fuel type) in the left-most bit for about 3 seconds.
+ The digital display indicates a value of auxiliary fuel remaining as selected by the AUX FUEL QTY selector switch.
If the test is successful, Good is displayed. If the test fails, one of the following codes is displayed:
When a test fails, the microprocessor is disabled from doing any further computation. If the test fails due to a
malfunctioning temperature sensor input, the microprocessor can be placed in a degraded mode by doing two self-tests. In
the degraded mode, a preselected value of temperature is used as a constant in all calculations. If the test fails because of
a problem, and then the problem is corrected, doing a self-test will clear that error code. The fuel management control

panel continuously does a memory checksum and verifies that the temperature sensor is connected by checking for tem-
perature of -60° to 65° C. It also verifies that the fuel flow transmitter is connected by checking for an electrical ground
or pulses from the transmitter.
AUTO TRANSFER
When the MODE switch is placed to AUTO, the system automatically transfers fuel to the main tanks from the selected
pair of external tanks. Fuel transfer continues until the fuel level sensors in the auxiliary tanks detect low fuel level or the
main fuel quantity system detects about 1000 pounds of fuel in both main tanks. When a fuel level sensor in the selected
tank detects low fuel level and the transfer ceases, the corresponding NO FLOW and EMPTY legends go on along with
the AUX FUEL capsule on the caution/advisory panel. Pressing the STATUS button resets the AUX FUEL indication and
resets and stores the NO FLOW and EMPTY indications.
MANUAL TRANSFER
When the MODE switch is placed to MANUAL, fuel transfer begins immediately from the selected tanks. Manual
transfer continues until the MANUAL XFR switches are placed OFF, the main tank high-level shutoff valve closes (at
approximately 1000 pounds), or the MODE switch is placed to AUTO or OFF. The NO FLOW, EMPTY, and caution/
advisory AUX FUEL capsule operate and are reset as described in the auto transfer operation.
The fuel sensor FAIL indicator is located above the OVFL indicator. This indicator will light when an open in the sensor
dc current line is detected by the control panel. Neither of the above indicators are affected by the STATUS function of
the control panel.
+ Operation of the extended range fuel system (ERFS) in the automatic or manual transfer of fuel from external stores
support system (ESSS) auxiliary fuel tanks to the main tanks.
+ Display of fuel quantity in pounds to the nearest 10 pounds for each auxiliary fuel tank.
+ Annunciation of the following conditions:
+ tank empty
+ no fuel flow
+ vent fail
+ vent overflow
+ imbalanced external stores
+ Self-Test.
SELF-TEST
The following self-test functions of the ERFS are performed by built in test (BIT) circuits within the AFMP depending on
operational conditions:
0057 00-7
TM 1-1520-237-23 0057 00
SELF-TEST - Continued
P-BIT performs intrusive testing of operational circuits; thus P-BIT is performed only in non flight conditions with weight
on wheels (WOW) enabled. The error codes are described as follows:
Error codes E01, E02, and E03 are displayed continuously if activated (no fuel quantities are displayed and no auto
transfer). A single error code is displayed in the left-most display. Multiple errors are presented in displays from left to
right. Error codes E04, E05, E06, and E07 are displayed momentarily; then for E04 the affected tank circuit display is
dashed, for E05 and E06 the affected tank circuit display indicates 9FP9, and for E07 the display is a conservative
quantity from calculations based on a level aircraft.
I-BIT is activated by pressing the TEST/RESET button on the AFMP with WOW enabled. I-BIT begins by
simultaneously lighting all 35 cells of each of the four 5 x 7 digital displays, and sequentially lighting the annunciators
fails to light. Subsequently all the test run during P-BIT are run during the remainder of I-BIT and the error codes are the
same as for P-BIT as indicated above. If WOW is not enabled (inflight condition) pressing the TEST/RESET button resets
the AUX FUEL caution light on the caution/advisory panel.
C-BIT is non-intrusive self testing during all operations subsequent to P-BIT or I-BIT. Error code E01, E02, or E03 is
displayed continuously after activation; no fuel quantity is displayed and auto transfer is inoperable. Error codes E04,
E05, and E07 are displayed momentarily, auto transfer is inhibited, and annunciators and manual transfer are operable.
C-BIT continuous displays are as follows:
+ 9Dashed9 AFMP tank gauging electronics failure for affected tank circuit.
+ 9FP9 Auxiliary tank probe fault (open or short) for affected tank circuit.
+ Following E07, the display is a conservative quantity from calculations based on a level aircraft.
+ 9NT9 If XFER MODE is set to AUTO or MAN and no tank is on the pylon indicated by the XFER FROM switch.
+ 9blank display9 If XFER MODE is set to AUTO or MAN and no tank is on the pylon indicated by the XFER FROM
switch.

TM 1-1520-237-23 0057 00
AUTO TRANSFER
When the XFER MODE switch is placed to AUTO, if there are no error codes and the tanks are not empty, the system
automatically pressurizes the applicable tanks regardless of the PRESS switch setting and opens the applicable valves to
transfer fuel to the main tanks from the selected pair of external tanks. The tanks remain pressurized while in auto mode
and not empty. Transfer of fuel from the auxiliary tanks to the main tanks begins when the AFMP detects the fuel
quantity in either main tank has fallen below 1100 pounds. Auto transfer of fuel will continue until the sum of the fuel
quantities in main tanks 1 and 2 equal 2300 pounds or overflow occurs. When the AFMP detects a tank empty sensor and
stops transfer of fuel, the corresponding NO FLOW and EMPTY annunciators on the AFMP will light. The AFMP also
provides a signal to light the AUX FUEL capsule on the caution/advisory panel. Pressing the TEST/RESET button
without WOW (as in flight) reset the AUX FUEL indication and stores the state of all annunciators in nonvolatile
memory (NVM).
MANUAL TRANSFER
For manual transfer to function, the PRESS switch on the AFMP must be either INBD, OUTBD, or ALL; it cannot be in
the OFF position. The selection for the XFER FROM switch must be consistent with the PRESS switch selection. The
MAN XFER switch can be either LEFT, RIGHT, or BOTH. After the tanks have become pressurized, when the XFER
MODE is switched from OFF to MAN, fuel transfer begins immediately from the selected tanks. Manual transfer
continues as selected until the XFER MODE switch is placed to OFF.
The fuel overflow sensor is used to detect the presence of fuel in the vent tube. If fuel is detected, the sensor provides a
signal to the AFMP which lights the overflow (VENT OVFL) annunciator while fuel is being sensed and provides a
signal to the AUX FUEL capsule. This alerts the pilot that fuel is being dumped overboard.
The fuel sensor fail (VENT FAIL) annunciator, located to the left of the VENT OVFL annunciator, will light when an
open in the fuel overflow sensor dc current line is detected by the AFMP. The VENT FAIL annunciator is not affected by
the AFMP TEST/RESET button.
The imbalance (IMBAL) annunciator, located above a line in the center of the AFMP, will light when the AFMP detects
that the absolute value of the auxiliary fuel weight (left minus right) varies from the nominal by +/-2% and error codes
E01 through E06 are not set.
The two no flow (NO FLOW) annunciators, located above the respective fuel quantity indicators on the AFMP, will light
when the AFMP detects that no fuel is flowing in the respective fuel line, AUTO or MAN mode is selected, and the
respective fuel shutoff valve is open.
The two auxiliary tank empty (EMPTY) annunciators, located below the respective fuel quantity indicators on the AFMP,
will light when the AFMP detects the low fuel in the respective tank.
The TEST/RESET button on the AFMP that is used to initiate I-BIT on the ground is used to reset the AUX FUEL
capsule inflight. The AUX FUEL capsule (if not already on) will be set on if a condition occurs that would set on any
one of the annunciators, except the VENT FAIL annunciator which is excluded from the other AFMP annunciators. Press-
ing the TEST/RESET button on the AFMP under inflight conditions will reset the AUX FUEL capsule to off, if all condi-
tions for setting annunciators on have been removed. The current state of all of the annunciators except AFMP OVFL is
saved to the NVM when the AFMP TEST/RESET button is pressed under inflight conditions.

The stores jettison system provides two methods of jettisoning external stores; a primary jettison subsystem and an
emergency jettison subsystem. The primary jettison subsystem provides selection of jettisoning individual external stores,
a symmetrical pair of stores, or all external stores. An interlock circuit prevents individual stores jettison when external
fuel tanks are installed. The emergency jettison subsystem provides release of all external stores. The system consists of a
jettison control panel, on the lower console, and ejector racks attached to the two vertical stores pylons (VSP) on each
horizontal stores support (HSS). The racks are used to attach fuel tanks or other external stores dispensers. The jettison
system functionally interfaces with the ESSS fuel system. It also functionally interfaces with the caution/advisory warning
system and drag beam switch through the left relay panel and No. 2 junction box.
Electrical power for the stores jettison system is supplied by the dc essential bus and the No. 1 dc primary bus (Figure 1,
Sheets 1 and 2). The 28 vdc from the dc essential bus is routed through the ESSS JTSN INBD and ESSS JTSN OUTBD
circuit breakers on the upper console. Both the ESSS JTSN INBD and ESSS JTSN OUTBD circuit breakers supply 28
vdc to the jettison control panel and the left relay panel. The 28 vdc from the No. 1 dc primary bus is routed through the
ESSS JTSN INBD and ESSS JTSN OUTBD circuit breakers on the copilot’s circuit breaker panel. Both circuit breakers
supply 28 vdc to the jettison control panel.
Power to operate the primary jettison system is supplied from the No. 1 dc primary bus through the ESSS JTSN INBD
and ESSS JTSN OUTBD circuit breakers on the copilot’s circuit breaker panel. A rotary switch, on the jettison control
panel, allows selection of jettisoning individual external stores, a symmetrical pair of stores, or all external stores. With
the rotary switch at ALL, the inboard stores will jettison 1 second after the outboard stores. When the fuel tanks are in-
stalled, tank present signals are supplied to the control panel. These signals prevent individual stores jettison even if the
rotary switch is at L or R.
The emergency jettison system is electrically independent of the primary jettison system. Power to operate the emergency
jettison system is supplied from the dc essential bus through the ESSS JTSN INBD and ESSS JTSN OUTBD circuit
breakers on the upper console. When the EMER JETT ALL switch is actuated, all external stores are jettisoned, regard-
less of the rotary switch position. As with the primary jettison system, the inboard stores will jettison 1 second after the
outboard stores.
When the helicopter is on the ground, the left drag beam switch removes the electrical ground from relay K4 in the jet-
tison control panel. This disables the emergency jettison system. When the helicopter is on the ground, the right drag
0058 00-1
TM 1-1520-237-23 0058 00
beam switch removes the electrical ground from the relay K1 in the jettison control panel. This disables the primary jet-
tison system while on the ground. When the helicopter is airborne, both drag beam switches provide grounds to the jet-
tison control panel relays K1 and K4 to enable jettison operation.

The auxiliary cabin heater is an electrically operated heating system consisting of a heater, blower, control panel and
adjustable air temperature switch. The heater and blower are installed in the ceiling of the helicopter’s transition section
above the main fuel tanks, the blower on the right and the heater on the left. The blower draws air from the cabin and
forces it through a distribution elbow and duct, through a transition duct, and back into the cabin through an array of
cabin ducts. The heater, located between the distribution duct and transition duct, heats the air flowing out of and into the
cabin. The adjustable air temperature switch, located at the bottom of the left gunner’s window, has a setting for prese-
lecting cabin air temperature through a range of 50°F to 85°F. The control panel, AUX CABIN HEATER, contains a
heater control switch marked OFF-ON-RESET and two indicator lights one marked HTR ON and the other marked HTR
INOP. The OFF-ON-RESET switch controls heater and blower operation through relay circuitry in the system’s No. 3
Relay Panel. The HTR ON light indicates when the heater system is functioning properly; the HTR INOP light indicates
system malfunction. The auxiliary cabin heater interfaces with the helicopter’s hydraulics system and the No. 1 and No. 2
main generators. The heater system is disabled when the hydraulics system backup pump is running or when either main
generator malfunctions (Figure 1).
The AUX CABIN HEATER control panel is located on the lower console. It contains the OFF-ON-RESET switch for
controlling the auxiliary cabin heater operation, the HTR ON indicator light for indicating normal heater system opera-
tion, and the HTR INOP indicator light for indicating heater system malfunction. Both lights are ANVIS yellow and are
the press-to-test type. Pressing the lights connects 28 VDC from the helicopter’s instrument panel and consoles light dim-
ming system to energize the lamps in the light units.
The No. 3 relay panel contains the relays sequenced by the control panel OFF-ON-RESET switch to connect AC operat-
ing power to the heater and blower.
Operation of the auxiliary cabin heater is controlled by the adjustable air temperature and the OFF-ON-RESET switches.
Placing the adjustable air temperature switch to a temperature greater than cabin ambient temperature provides a path for
heater relay, K99. The range of the air temperature switch is 50°F to 85°F. The OFF-ON-RESET switch is a three posi-
tion switch which has the RESET position spring loaded to return to the ON position when released. Placing the OFF-
ON-RESET switch to the ON position provides an electrical path from the AUX HTR CONTROL circuit breaker, through
the de-energized contacts of relays, K101, K102, and K103, through the OFF-ON-RESET switch which energizes the
blower relay, K104. Relay, K104 provides a path for the 115 vac power from the AUX HTR BLOWER circuit breaker to
the blower. An internal thermal switch in the blower will remove the ground for relay, K104, turning off the blower, if the
blower becomes overheated. Placing the OFF-ON-RESET switch momentarily to the RESET position, energizes heater
control relay, K100, and heater relay, K126. When OFF-ON-RESET switch returns to the ON position, 115 vac is
provided through the now energized contacts of relays, K99 and K126 to the heater. There are two thermal switches in
the ducts to remove the 28 vdc from relays K99 and K126 if the ducts overheat. An internal thermocouple in the heater
when the heater overheats, removes the 28 vdc from relay K126 turning the heater off. When the cabin temperature
reaches the temperature set by the air temperature switch a Q circuit removes the ground leg from relays K99 and K104
turning the heater and blower off. The system will not operate unless both No. 1 and No. 2 generators are on the line and
the back up hydraulic system is not in operation.

dispenser control panel is controlled by the CONSOLE LT LOWER control on the upper console. From the CONTROL
LT LOWER control, power is applied through the junction box assembly to the control panel.
The chaff/flare dispenser system provides survival countermeasures against radar-guided weapons and infrared-seeking
missiles. Dispensed chaff saturates the helicopter operating area with radar returns, disguising the true location of the
helicopter (Figure 2). Chaff is dispensed by the pilot or copilot when the helicopter radar warning system detects radar
signals. Flares are dispensed by the pilot or copilot when a missile launching is observed. Flares serve as decoys, divert-
ing infrared-seeking missiles away from the helicopter. The system consists of a chaff dispenser assembly, a flare
dispenser assembly, an electronics module, a dispenser control panel, a flares dispenser push-button, and a chaff dispense
push-button. Both dispenser assemblies and the electronics module are on the left side of the tail cone. The chaff
dispenser assembly is mounted forward of the flare dispenser assembly. The dispenser control panel and chaff dispense
push-button are on the lower console. The flares dispense push-button is on the center section of the instrument panel.
The switch is used in conjunction with the lower console chaff/flares dispenser control panel to fire flares. A payload
module that holds either 30 packets of chaff or 30 flares is loaded into the chaff assembly and flare dispenser assembly,
respectively.
The chaff/flare dispenser system receives 28 vdc from the copilot’s circuit breaker panel. (Figure 5).The 28 vdc is sup-
plied by the No. 1 dc primary bus and routed to the dispenser control panel through the CHAFF/FLARE DISP circuit
breaker and the junction box assembly. The circuit breaker output is also routed to the electronics module.
The programmed mode is selected by placing the ARM-SAFE switch to ARM, removing the flag pin from the electronics
module (ARM lamp goes on), setting the CHAFF counter to the number of chaff loaded, and placing the OFF-MAN-
PRGM switch to PRGM. Pressing the CHAFF DISPENSE switch applies a dispense command to the dispenser control
panel . The control panel then provides a dc signal to the electronics module programmer section. The programmer (pre-
programmed) picks the burst interval, salvo number, and salvo interval of chaff to be dispensed. A signal is then fed to
the dispenser assembly, activating the sequencer and completing the circuit to the breech plate. This signal is then fed to
the impulse cartridge, forcing the chaff out of the payload module.

The manual mode is selected with the system set up as in WP 0057 00, except the OFF-MAN-PRGM switch is placed to
MAN. The programmer section of the electronics module is bypassed and only one chaff cartridge is fired each time the
CHAFF DISPENSE switch is pressed.
To dispense chaff packets one at a time, the dispenser control panel MAN-PGRM switch is placed to MAN. Pressing the
CHAFF DISP push-button causes a manual chaff dispense signal to be applied to the electronics module. The module
generates a chaff dispense signal which is applied to the chaff dispenser assembly, causing a single chaff packet to be
dispensed. Then, a chaff count signal is routed through the electronics module to the dispenser control panel CHAFF
counter. The counter counts down by one, indicating the total number of chaff packets left in the payload module.
To dispense chaff packets in preprogrammed groups, the dispenser control panel MAN-PGRM switch is placed to PGRM.
Pressing the CHAFF DISP push-button generates a programmed chaff dispense signal which is applied to the electronics
module. Before flying the mission, a program for chaff dispensing is loaded into the electronics module. The program
includes salvo count (number of salvos), interval (time between salvos), bursts per salvo (number of packets), and interval
between bursts. The programmed chaff dispense signal activates the electronics module program. The electronics module
cycles through the program once, applying timed chaff dispense signals to the chaff dispenser assembly. Chaff packets are
dispensed, totaling the number set by the program. Each dispensed chaff packet returns a chaff count signal through the
electronics module to the dispenser control panel CHAFF counter. The CHAFF counter counts down by one for each
chaff packet dispensed. The displayed count is the total chaff packets remaining in the chaff payload module.
To dispense flares one at a time, the FLARES push-button is pressed once for each flare to be dispensed. Each time the
FLARES push-button is pressed, a flare dispense signal is applied to the electronics module. The electronics module
transfers the flare dispense signal to the flare dispenser assembly, causing one flare to be dispensed. Light-sensitive
electronics in the flare dispenser look for a flare burst. If one is not detected, a dud signal is sent to the electronics
module. The dud signal causes the electronic module to generate a flare dispense signal, causing a second flare to be
dispensed. If a flare burst is still not detected, a third flare is dispensed. A third dud will not cause a fourth flare to be
dispensed. The electronics module will shut down until the FLARES push-button is pressed again. For each flare
dispensed, including duds, a flare count signal is sent to the electronics module and the dispenser control panel FLARE
counter. The electronics module uses the count signal to count duds fired. The FLARE counter counts down by one for
each flare dispensed. The count remaining on the FLARE counter is the total flares remaining in the payload module.
To dispense flares in short ripple bursts, or to dispense all flares in an emergency, the FLARE RIPPLE FIRE switch is
placed to its up position. This action generates the arm and flare ripple fire signals. Operating the FLARE RIPPLE FIRE
switch in quick-on-off movements causes flares to be dispensed in short bursts. Holding the switch in the up position
causes all flares to be dispensed one after the other. In either case, a flare count signal is applied to the dispenser control
panel FLARE counter. The counter counts down by one for each flare dispensed. In the ripple fire mode, the flare count
signal is not used by the electronics module.
Flares are dispensed, as described previously for FLARE push-button, when a signal is received from the AN/ALQ-
156(V)2 countermeasures (CM) set. The CM set detects and evaluates threats from approaching missiles and generates a
flare dispense signal to counter the threat. The CM PULSE from the countermeasures set is routed through the dispenser
control panel to the electronics module. Within the electronics module, it is processed the same as a signal from the
FLARE push-button and is applied to the same output line, FLARE DISPENSER. The control unit for the CM set is
mounted on the instrument panel. AC and DC power are provided by the No. 1 (copilot’s) circuit breaker panel.

SAFE/ARM FUNCTION
UH60A 77-22714 - 77-22723 With the helicopter on the ground (weight-on-wheels), the drag beam switch completes a
circuit to energize relay K1 in the audio junction box assembly. With K1 energized, power is removed from the dispenser
control panel. When the helicopter is airborne (weight-off-wheels), K1 de-energizes routing power to the dispenser control
panel. This function automatically inhibits system operation (safe condition) while the helicopter is on the ground.
UH60A 77-22724-78-22986 K1 relay in the audio junction box assembly is disconnected from the drag beam switch.
With K1 relay permanently de-energized, power is routed through the audio junction box assembly to the dispenser
control panel. UH60A 78-22987-SUBQ UH60L UH-60Q HH-60L EH60A The audio junction box assembly is removed
from the circuit. Power is routed directly from the circuit breaker to the dispenser control panel.
UH60A UH60L UH-60Q HH-60L While on the ground and parked, a safety pin and red flag assembly (marked REMOVE
BEFORE FLIGHT) is inserted at the electronics module. This removes power from the electronics module circuits and
prevents accidental dispensing of chaff or flares. The dispenser control panel SAFE-ARM switch is used to set the operat-
ing mode while the helicopter is airborne. In the SAFE position, the flare and chaff dispense pushbutton are disabled. To
arm the system, the SAFE-ARM switch is placed to ARM. An arm signal is sent to the electronics module arm circuit to
activate the chaff dispenser. While armed, an arm indicator signal is applied, through the left relay panel, to the dispenser
control panel ARM indicator. The ARM indicator is dimmed at the dispenser control panel by turning the ARM indicator
housing. EH60A While on the ground and parked, a safety pin and red flag assembly (marked REMOVE BEFORE

EQUIPMENT DATA
If applicable, refer to WP 1700 00 for equipment data information.
UNIT LEVEL
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
The forward looking infrared set (FLIR) is designed to manually scan, locate, and display images in the IR and visual
spectrum. The FLIR set consists of: the turret, mounted on the nose; the FLIR imaging unit located within the turret; the
central electronics unit (CEU), in the antenna well; the pilot’s and copilot’s multifunction display unit (MFD), on the
instrument panel; and the FLIR control panel (FCP), in the lower console (Figure 1). The turret provides three-axis
movement of the FLIR line-of-sight (LOS), corresponding to the center of the imaged scene, to any position within the
field-of-regard (FOR). The FLIR imager collects and converts IR and visual images into electrical signals for CEU
processing. The CEU inputs data from the FLIR and outputs the signal for display on the MFDs. The MFDs provide the
processed thermal (IR) imaging in addition to FLIR set information including status bar, grayscale, reticles, graticules, and
on-line menus. The FCP provides system control of the following: turret line-of-sight, changing field of view, freezing
video images, and adjusting gain, level, and focus controls.
POWER DISTRIBUTION
Electrical power of 28 vdc is supplied by the No. 2 dc primary bus and routed through the FLIR circuit breaker on the
copilot’s auxiliary circuit breaker panel to the CEU (Figure 2). The CEU provides 13.8 vdc and 28 vdc to the FCP, and
13.8 vdc and 28 vdc to the turret.
TURRET OPERATION
The turret-FLIR unit (TFU) can operate in the following modes. In inertial pointing mode the TFU line-of-sight is
controlled manually by commands generated from the FCP joystick. If no commands are generated from the joystick, the
TFU gyros direct the TFU to maintain its inertial bearing and elevation, thus compensating for platform vibration and
aircraft direction changes.
Heading hold mode consists of two phases. In the first phase the TFU is controlled by the FCP joystick outputs. The first
phase is identical to the inertial pointing mode. The second phase commences whenever the FCP joystick outputs return
to zero. In this phase the TFU is caged to the last commanded position. It remains caged to this position until a new
joystick command is received or a different mode is selected that changes the line of sight.
In CAGE mode the TFU is commanded to a particular pointing angle with respect to the airframe centerline. The default
cage position is 0°Az, 0°El, and is automatically configured upon initial power on. The default cage position and one
other position can be reprogrammed in the configuration menu.
Stow mode is used for positioning the TFU prior to power off. In stow mode the TFU is rotated to 180° azimuth, +130°
elevation to protect the windows. The elevation rotation is automatically locked by magnetic detents. The stow mode is
activated by the operator as part of the power off sequence.
IMAGING
The FLIR Imager incorporates scanning optics, infrared detectors, a detector cooler, video preamplifiers, scanner electron-
ics, and a microcontroller necessary to collect and convert infrared radiation to electronic signals for processing by the
CEU. The FLIR Imager contains two sets of optics providing both high and low magnification. At low magnification, the
wide field-of-view (WFOV) of 28.0 degrees horizontal by 16.8 degrees vertical is displayed on the display monitor. At
high magnification, the narrow field-of-view (NFOV) of 5.0 degrees horizontal by 3.0 degrees vertical is displayed. The
FLIR imager unit also contains a high resolution TV sensor that provides the visible light image. The TV sensor
incorporates a charge-coupled device (CCD) array, camera electronics, and zoom lens necessary to convert visible light to
electronic signals for processing. The camera lens is an automatic iris zoom lens.

The CEU processes and transfers all system signals, commands, and data I/O. It interfaces between the TFU, the MFDs,
and the FCP. Communication between the system components is accomplished via a serial data bus. The CEU performs
such tasks as auto-infinity focus, automatic level and gain, generation of all overlay symbology, as well as controlling the
menu-driven system functions.
The FCP provides set interface between the operator and the FLIR set. The set controls are partitioned between the
joystick and switches on the FCP, and the menu overlays on the MFDs. The following functions are accomplished via the
FCP: menu and command selection, TFU modes and tracking, field of view changes, freezing video, and adjusting camera
gain, level, and focus.
The MFDs are the visual interface between the operator and the set. They provide the operator with the thermal and/or
visible light imaging display. Serial data containing image information is transmitted to the MFDs via the CEU. The
MFDs display command and status information, menus and submenus, and tracking data.

UNIT LEVEL
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
The cockpit air bag system (CABS) provides supplemental restraint protection for the pilot and copilot during a surviv-
able aircraft crash by minimizing the crewmembers’ motion and by providing forward and lateral protection from oc-
cupant strike hazards. The CABS consists of pilot’s and copilot’s forward and lateral air bag modules, gas generators, and
the electronic crash sensor unit (ECSU). The pilot’s and copilot’s forward air bag modules, which contain the gas genera-
tors, are mounted on the glareshield. The lateral air bag modules, also containing gas generators, are mounted on the left
and right hand stationary wing panels on the outboard bulkhead. The ECSU attaches to the mounting tray located in the
copilot’s seatwell. During normal flight, the ECSU monitors overall CABS status and readiness. Separate pilot and copilot
cable assemblies connect the forward and lateral air bag modules to the ECSU.
The ECSU detects a crash and initiates deployment of the CABS air bags. During a crash, the ECSU identifies the sudden
change of velocity and performs a time-integration calculation of the deceleration time-history. If both the measured
deceleration and the calculated velocity change occur concurrently and exceed predetermined crash pulse levels, the firing
capacitors discharge and a firing signal is sent to the gas generator propellant. The propellant burns very rapidly and
produces a large volume high-temperature gas. The high-temperature gas flows from the gas generator combustion
chambers, through a series of screens and exhaust ports in the gas generator, into the forward and lateral air bag modules.
The propellant gases pressurize and deploy the air bags. The air bags inflate in three seconds and deflate in three to five
seconds.
The ECSU incorporates built-in-test (BIT) circuitry to monitor CABS status and readiness. A system fault (SYS FAULT)
indicator, located on the ECSU, is a latching indicator that provides rapid identification of the CABS status. When the
BIT determines the CABS is operating properly, the twin cylinders on the SYS FAULT indicator remain black. If the BIT
identifies a CABS fault, the SYS FAULT indicator will display a fault indication by the BIT software within the ECSU.
The twin cylinders on the SYS FAULT indicator rotate to display two white square indicators. When the fault indication
is noted, the fault location can be determine by pressing the push-to-display (PTD) button on the ECSU.
When the PTD button is pressed and released, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted on the face of the ECSU will
indicate which CABS components are faulty. Eight LEDs are located on the ECSU that indicate fault detection within the
CABS. Since four gas generators are installed, two on the pilot’s side and two on the copilot’s side, only the top four (1
and 2) LEDs are used for fault isolation. If the ECSU LED illuminates after the PTD button is pressed and released, the
ECSU is faulty. If the aircraft identification (A/C ID) LED illuminates after the PTD is pressed, it indicates that either
ECSU or the aircraft identification resistors, within the ECSU power cable, are defective. To determine which of the air
bag modules or electrical interfaces is faulty, the pilot or copilot LEDs will illuminate after the PTD button is pressed.
Electrical power is supplied by the battery bus through the CABS circuit breaker on the lower console circuit breaker
panel. The 28 vdc supplied from the CABS circuit breaker is routed to power the ECSU. The ECSU then sends the 28
vdc to the gas generators in the two forward and two lateral modules.

MICROCLIMATE COOLING SYSTEM AND MASK BLOWER WIRING ASSEMBLY DESCRIPTION AND
DATA
The Microclimate Cooling System (MCS) provides aircrew members a means to help maintain a lower body temperature
while conducting missions in MOPP IV or hot weather environments. The MCS, when installed, consists of four each of
the following components: (Figure 1) microclimate cooling unit (MCU), cooling hose assembly, bypass control assembly,
and liquid quick disconnect (L-QDC). These components connect together to provide a complete system that circulates
cooled liquids through each individual crewmember’s microclimate cooling garment (MCG) when attached to the MCS.
The MCU (Figure 1) provides chilled liquid which is pumped through hose assemblies to the aircrew member’s MCG
where metabolic heat is transferred from the aircrew member’s body to the circulating liquid. The warmed liquid is then
pumped back to the MCU where heat is rejected to the ambient environment. The MCU provides 320 to 330 watts of
cooling for each aircrew member. The MCU delivers cooled liquid approximately 60°F to 72°F depending on the temper-
ature of the external environment. The MCU is approximately 7 inches wide X 11 inches long X 6 inches high and
weighs approximately 13 pounds. The MCU is powered from +28VDC source and requires approximately 6-10 amps
continuous and 12 amps peak.
The cooling hose assembly (Figure 1) consists of two 7/16 inch polybutyl vinyl hoses laid side by side with MCU control
wire (electrical) running between the hoses and encased in an insulated jacket.
The hose assembly has attached at one end a bypass control assembly (BCA) with a L-QDC (see description below). On
the other end of the hose assembly, are fittings for connection to the MCU. The hose assembly with insulation is ap-
proximately two inches in diameter and weighs approximately 0.3 pound per foot (excluding liquid).
The MCS BCA (Figure 1) utilizes an automatic bypass to allow liquid to be circulated and cooled prior to connection to
the MCG. The bypass control assembly is approximately 2 inches wide X 3 inches long X 1 inch high and weighs ap-
proximately 0.25 pound. A rotary knob is mounted on the bypass control assembly to allow aircrew members to adjust the
temperature of the liquid from the MCU.
LIQUID-QUICK DISCONNECT
The L-QDC (Figure 1) serves as an interface between the hose assembly from the BCA to the MCG. The L-QDC is
comprised of two segments: aircraft-retained and aviator-retained. The aviator-retained portion of the L-QDC is connected
to the aviator’s MCG. The aircraft retained portion of the L-QDC is attached, via the hose assembly, to the manual BCA.
The connection of the L-QDC halves allow cooling liquid to flow between the MCU and the MCG. The L-QDC serves as
a disconnect point for normal egress and hands-free breakaway for emergency egress. The force required for emergency
egress is not more than 25 pounds. The L-QDC is approximately 3 inches long X 2 inches wide X 0.75 inch high and
weighs 0.25 pound.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Four 15 amp circuit breakers are installed in the aircraft mission readiness circuit breaker panel for the MCUs and one 2
amp circuit breaker installed in the aircraft No. 2 circuit breaker panel for the power distribution box (PDB) (Figure 2).

A PDB (Figure 3) is installed on the bottom of the copilot’s stowage grenade box assembly behind the copilot’s seat of
the aircraft. The PDB has an input of +28 VDC and an output of +3.8 VDC. The PDB powers four mask blowers and
requires approximately 1 amp. The PDB is a standard aircraft power converter box.
MASK BLOWER.
Mate the blower connector to the blower power wire connector. There is not an on/off switch on the blower, so if aircraft
power is active, the blower will operate normally. The blower power wire is normally run concurrent with the ICS cord
using plastic wire ties every 8 to 12 inches. If the blower or its power source fails, the mask still provides protection.
NOTE
Failure of mask blower is not criteria for mission abort.
The blower provides two primary functions to the user, one being to relieve the psychological isolation effects of MOPP
IV chemical-biological protective gear, the other to defog the mask under certain atmospheric conditions, usually common
to lower temperatures. Operation and maintenance of the M45 Mask, Chemical and Biological can be found in TMs
3-4240-341-10 and 3-4240-341-20&P. Use of the M45 mask blower with the M45 mask can be found in Air Warrior TM
1-1680-377-13&P (see Figure 4).
