Table 3-1. BIT Function Summary
3.1.1.3 Back-up Battery

The Acquisition Unit contains a back-up power source which maintains the microcontroller
SRAM and RTC in the absence of external power. The back-up power source is a 3.6V Lithium
battery with a life expectancy of approximately 3 years. The voltage level of the battery is
measured during BIT to insure that the battery has not been depleted. The battery is mounted in a
clip-in holder on the Power Supply & Expansion Board for easy replacement, and is further
secured by a velcro strap.
3.1.1.4 Short Circuit Protection-Polytemp Fuse

The Acquisition Unit contains a 3.6 Ampere re-settable fuse. In the event of an over-current
condition, the fuse will interrupt the 28 VDC aircraft input voltage, and reset once the over-current
condition has been removed. The typical trip time at 20 C is 2 seconds for a current of 8.0
Amperes.

System Operations
3.1.1.5 PCMCIA Interface

The Acquisition Unit contains a PCMCIA interface and card slot which can accommodate type I,
II, and III PCMCIA cards. The interface is normally used as a data transfer mechanism to ground
support equipment. The memory card timing is critical to proper operation. Consult with
Honeywell for approved memory card.
Cockpit Control Unit (CCU) InterfaceThe Acquisition Unit can communicate with
a CCU through two serial timing lines. The CCU sends the status of the "Flight State" switch to
the Acquisition Unit. The Acquisition Unit sends back to the CCU a signal to control the record
status annunciator lamps.
3.1.1.6 Maintainability Provisions

The Acquisition Unit incorporates the following design features to minimize the time, equipment,
and skill levels required to isolate and repair faults in the unit:
1. Fault Logs, Built-In Test hardware, and software to detect board, interconnect, and
sensor failures. The Acquisition Unit records detected faults (BIT failures) in non-
volatile memory and will send data to the DU via serial port for fault message
display.
2. DU/Printer Connectors - There are access connectors on the Acquisition Unit (J5) to
connect the DU and Printer for system downloading of data.
3. Calibration - The Acquisition Unit is field replaceable and no calibration adjustment
is required.
4. Re-settable fuse on 28 VDC input power line. Automatically resets after short
circuit condition is removed.
5. Sensor power outputs are current limited and short circuit protected to prevent
damage to Acquisition Unit.
3.1.1.7 Calibration
The Acquisition Unit does not require calibration and does not have any internal adjustments.
3.1.2 Display Unit

The Display Unit runs the Windows Display Program, which is the primary user interface to the
EVXP system. It connects to the AU via the rmote DU connector (J935) using cable PC/Printer to
EVXP P/N 17317-12A. The Display Program is used to initiate measurements and view data,
balance solutions, and spectrums. File transfers to and from the Acquisition Unit are also
accomplished via the Display Unit, the CompactFlash Card Reader and USB Zio! Reader. The
Display Unit is shown in Figure 1-2.
3.1.3 Printer
The EVXP can also be used with a standard parallel printer, such as an inkjet or laser printer. This
would have to be connected to the DU using the parallel port on a Panasonic port replicator, or the
USB port on the DU. The port replicator is available for the DU from Honeywell.

System Operations
3.1.4 CompactFlashTM Drive

The high capacity HP CompactFlash Card for the EVXP system is a memory card available in 8 or
16 MB. It is used in conjunction with the Display Unit and Display Program to load and download
data files to and from the Toughbook or desktop PC. It is also used to store data files downloaded
from the AU. It uses Flash RAM format. CompactFlash is compatible with a PCMCIA Card
Adapter. Refer to section 1.2.4 for a detailed description of the CompactFlash Card, PCMCIA
Adapter and Reader/Writer accessories. The CompactFlash Card is shown in Figure 1-4.
3.1.5 FasTrak Optical Tracker

The FasTrak Optical Blade Tracker can operate either in the daytime or at night. The FasTrak
operates with the EVXP system as follows:
• The FasTrak uses ambient sunlight during the day and an infrared light-emitting diode
(LED) to generate an optical signal at night. Day/Night mode is selected through a menu
item in the Display Program.
• The FasTrak generates precise timing pulses corresponding to the passing of the rotor
blades in its optical path.
• Its optical module is comprised of a protective glass daylight filter and a focusing lens
housed in an aluminum canister.
• One external four-pin cable connector near the Delrin mounting base provides for the
input power and ground, a day-night mode input signal, and the FasTrak timing signal
output.
The FasTrak relays all information directly to the Acquisition Unit for processing.
3.1.6 Strobex
The Strobex is a light-weight, hand-held strobe light that can be aimed at a reflective target. The
beam illuminates reflective targets on the main rotor to indicate rotor track, and on the tail rotor to
measure clock angle. The cable assembly is connected to the remote Strobex connector (J936).
The Strobex requires no operator adjustment. The unit flashes in sync with a command from the
AU from a single pulse to 250 pulses per second. The trigger switch on the handle has two
functions:
• When no sync signal is present, pressing the trigger produces a single flash, indicating that
the unit is functional.
• When a sync signal is present, pressing the trigger causes the Strobex to flash at the sync
rate.
3.1.7 Photocell
The photocell is used primarily to generate a speed signal pulse for tail rotor smoothing. It consists
of a weather-tight optical probe housed in an all-metal enclosure that transmits a modulated light
pulse and receives the reflected signal from the retro-reflective target patches installed on the tail
rotor. It emits visible-red sensing beams to make alignment easy.

System Operations
3.1.8 Accelerometer
The EVXP system is compatible with a variety of accelerometers, including Charge Mode and
Low Impedance Voltage Mode (LIVM) types. Accelerometers employ a crystal and a mass to
convert acceleration into an analogous output signal.
3.1.8.1 Charge Mode Accelerometers

Charge Mode accelerometers produce an electrical charge which is proportional to acceleration,
and which must ultimately be converted to voltage. The EVXP AU has six built-in charge
converters to interface with this type of accelerometer. These sensors have a two pin circular
connector on them.
3.1.8.2 Low Impedance Voltage Mode (LIVM) Accelerometers

LIVM accelerometers have a built-in amplifier and provide a voltage output directly, but require a
constant current bias source. The EVXP AU has 26 interfaces designed for LIVM type
accelerometers. These sensors have either a two pin or a three pin circular connector on them.
3.1.9 Velocimeter
Velocimeters are essentially accelerometers with a built-in amplifier and integrator circuit. In this
way, an output voltage is produced which is proportional to velocity in inches per second (ips).
Velocimeters require both positive and negative supply voltages, and employ a four pin circular
connector. The EVXP AU has 16 interfaces designed for velocimeters.
3.1.10 Magnetic Pickup

The Model 3030 Magnetic Pickup is used to generate a rotor azimuth pulse. It has two pins and a
threaded circular shell containing a coil encased in epoxy. It attaches directly to the Acquisition
Unit.

4. Maintenance
Routine functional tests will be done for all equipment, although only limited maintenance may be
performed in the field. The troubleshooting guide at the end of this chapter will enable you to
isolate component failures, but no major repairs will be performed on any equipment other than
the cables. All repairs of major components will be done by the manufacturer. .
4.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Routine maintenance on the EVXP consists mainly of inspecting the equipment for obvious
problems and performing functional tests on the equipment to verify correct operation. All repairs
other than minor maintenance procedures will be done by the manufacturer. If a component fails,
it must be returned to Honeywell International for repair.
4.1.1 Inspections
The EVXP should be inspected each time it is used. At the minimum, a thorough inspection of all
of the components should be performed every 12 months. Following are tables showing the
routine inspection procedures for each of the major components. The tables show the area to be
inspected and the procedure to follow if any defects are found.

4.2 FUNCTIONAL TESTS

This section contains instructions to test the EVXP system performance parameters. If a test step
fails, refer to the “Troubleshooting Guide” in Section 4.4 to locate the faulty component.
The functional tests provide a high confidence level that the instrument is operating properly and
within specifications. The functional test setups use, as much as possible, all the components
(transducers, cables, etc.) that are used in the field. This allows the user to verify the proper
operation of these components and aids in fault isolation.
4.2.1 Power-Up Self-Test

Built-In Test (BIT) is always initiated upon power-up, and may also be initiated through the
Display Program. To initiate BIT through the Display Program, pull down the Test AU menu and
select Initiated BIT. BIT performs an extensive check of the AU hardware and software, and also
tests many of the sensors connected to the AU.
BIT results are stored in the EVXPfault.log file and may be saved or viewed on the DU, or printed
on the serial printer. The fault log may be viewed on the DU as follows:
1. Drop down the View Logs menu.

Maintenance
2. Select System Faults and click on the Download/View button.

3. In the Message from View Log window, click on the Detail button.
The fault log will be displayed on the screen. To print the fault log on the serial printer:
1. Pull down the File menu and select the AU printer, or click on the Print Icon on the
left side of the display.
2. Select Fault Log from the Print Menu.
The fault log file will be printed on the serial printer. See section 4.4 for an explanation of EVXP
error messages. Since the EVXPfault.log file is an ASCII text file, it can also be viewed with any
text editor, such as Notepad.
4.2.2 EVXP Channel Verification

1. Disconnect the Panel Vertical velocimeter cable from the velocimeter.
2. Select the TEST AU menu button in the top upper left hand corner of the screen. In

4.3 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

There are three tables in this section. The first table shows common problems that may occur
during operation or functional testing of the EVXP system. Using this table, you can isolate the
main component that may need repairing. If a component fails and needs repair, it must be
returned to Honeywell International.
The second table lists the error codes for the EVXP system and the action codes for clearing the
errors. The third table shows the action codes, and the specific actions that each code requires. If
the EVXP displays an error message not shown in the table, it must be returned to Honeywell
International for repair.

4.3.2.2 Action Codes

Table 4-9 contains the action codes referred to in Table 4-8. This table contains the specific action
needed to clear the error on the EVXP.
In some cases, the only action that can be taken is to send the unit to Honeywell International for
repair. However, in those cases where recovery is possible in the field, the exact steps to be taken
are explained.
Table 4-9. Action Codes
ACTION
EXPLANATION
NUMBER
A001 Vibration Monitor Log Memory Usage.

If the Vibration Monitor Log is more than 80% full, download the Vibration
Monitor Log to the DU, then clear the Monitor Log on the EVXP AU.
A002 EVXP Database Memory Usage.
If the EVXP Database is more than 80% full, download all or some of the data-
base logs to the DU (M/R Balance, T/R Balance, Advisory, Spectrum, and Fault),
then clear the appropriate Database Logs on the EVXP AU.
A003 Non-recoverable Hardware Failure.
A non-recoverable hardware failure has occurred in the EVXP AU. Cycle the
EVXP power off, then on again, if the problem reoccurs, remove and replace the
EVXP AU, maintain copies of the downloaded Fault Logs and a record of the
incidents leading up to the failure, and contact Honeywell International.

Maintenance
Table 4-9. Action Codes (Continued)
ACTION
EXPLANATION
NUMBER
A004 Recoverable Hardware Failure.

Internally recoverable hardware problems have occurred in the EVXP AU. If
these problems continue to occur through many power cycles, or if the EVXP
operates in an unpredictable manner, the system may be operating under marginal
conditions and could fail in the future. Maintain copies of the downloaded Fault
Logs and contact Honeywell International.
A005 Bad Upload File Format or File Corrupted.
Reload the application or setup configuration file. If problem persists, the
uploaded file is bad or corrupted. Correct upload file format or contact Honey-
well International.
A006 Credit card memory system (PCMCIA card) has failed.
System will continue to run, but Credit Card cannot be used for upload or down-
load of program files. Use the DU communications interface to transfer files until
Honeywell International can be contacted to resolve the problem. Note: PCMCIA
slot not accessible in ground support configuration.
A007 Calibration Error.
Analog signal input function is out of calibration. System can continue to be used
but vibration and balance readings may not be accurate. Save Fault Log and con-
tact Honeywell International as soon as possible.
A008 Vibration Sensor Failure.
A vibration sensor has failed. Channel number of failed sensor is obtained from
the Fault Log. First, check connections to sensor. Next, replace failed sensor with
a known good sensor. If problem moves with the failed sensor, then replace the
sensor. If the problem does not move with the sensor, then the sensor cable is the
probable cause.
A009 No Magnetic Pickup.
No magnetic pickup signal is present. Channel number of pickup is obtained
from fault log. The rotors must be turning for the current operation. If not, the
operation must be tried when the rotors are turning. If the rotors are turning, then
remove and replace the affected magnetic pickup. If the problem persists then
check the cabling to the pickup.
A010 RPM Out Of Range.
RPM from magnetic pickup is out of range. The current operation must be per-
formed with the rotors turning at a specified speed. Check aircraft instruments for
correct speed (e.g. 100% Nr) and correct rotor RPM as necessary. If instruments
indicate correct speed, then problem is probably an incorrect gap setting between
the interrupter and the mag pickup. If the gap is OK, then check both the mag
pickup and its cabling.

Maintenance
ACTION
EXPLANATION
NUMBER
A011 Fatal Non-recoverable Software Failure.

A fatal non-recoverable software failure has occurred in the EVXP AU which
prevents the EVXP from operating. The system will continue to reset until the
problem goes away. Cycle the EVXP power off, then on again. If the problem
reoccurs, remove and replace the EVXP AU, maintain copies of the downloaded
Fault Logs (if available) and a record of the incidents leading up to the failure,
and contact Honeywell International. A special power-up mode may be needed to
recover the Fault Log if the system continues to cycle preventing communication
with the DU.
A012 Non-recoverable Software Failure.
A non-recoverable software failure has occurred in the EVXP AU that may result
in the loss of functionality or system integrity. Cycle the EVXP power off, then
on again. If the problem reoccurs, R&R the EVXP AU, maintain copies of the
downloaded Fault Logs and a record of the incidents leading up to the failure, and
contact Honeywell International.
A013 Recoverable Software Fault.
A recoverable software fault has occurred that has no impact on system operation
other than a possible processing delay. If this fault continues to occur through
many power cycles, or if the EVXP operates in an unpredictable manner, the sys-
tem may be operating under marginal conditions and could fail in the future.
Maintain copies of the downloaded Fault Logs and contact Honeywell Interna-
tional.
A014 File Integrity Error.
A EVXP file was corrupted resulting in a partial or full loss of the file. To recover
any non-corrupted data, consult the Fault Log for the name of the corrupted file,
download this file to the DU, then clear the file from the EVXP AU using the
DU. This problem should be reported to Honeywell International along with the
downloaded Fault Log.
A015 File Lost.
A EVXP file was lost and any data that was in the file non-recoverable. On the
next power cycle a new file will be created and newly collected data logged. This
problem should be reported to Honeywell International along with the down-
loaded Fault Log.
A016 Database Integrity Error.
A problem has occurred resulting in a partial loss of the database. Any non-cor-
rupted data and/or files should be maintained. Partial database memory will usu-
ally be lost with the result that the database usage log entry (error code = 00002,
action code = A002) may be misleading. All needed files (including the Fault
Log) should be downloaded to the DU as soon as possible. Clear the entire data-
base, then cycle system power to re-initialize the database system.

Maintenance
ACTION
EXPLANATION
NUMBER
A017 Database Lost.

The entire EVXP database and all database files were lost. The system will auto-
matically create a new database system and newly acquired data will be logged.
This problem should be reported to Honeywell International along with the
downloaded Fault Log. (NOTE: This error will occur any time the internal bat-
tery dies or is removed.)
A018 Signal Error.
An input signal was corrupted. This is normally a transient problem caused by
EMI, etc. The user will be prompted for retry if in menu mode. Otherwise, the
problem will be logged and data acquisition internally retried by the EVXP soft-
ware. Occasional occurrences of this error do not constitute a system problem,
but if the error reoccurs through many power cycles, then the Fault Logs should
be saved and Honeywell International contacted.
A019 Monitor Log Integrity Error.
A record in the vibration monitor log was corrupted. Only the corrupted record is
lost upon download of log to the DU resulting in the loss of the data from one
monitor log cycle (approximately 2 minutes of data). No user recovery proce-
dures are necessary.
A020 Battery Low/Dead.
The SRAM hold-up battery is low or dead. Consult message in error log to deter-
mine battery condition. If battery is “low”, then download any needed EVXP logs
to the DU, and contact Honeywell International. If battery is “dead”, then contact
Honeywell International. Note that under the “dead” battery condition, the sys-
tem will still run normally but all EVXP log files will be lost at each power-down
cycle. Recorded data may be preserved by downloading it before power is
removed from EVXP.
4.3.3 Display Unit Maintenance

The display unit is a Pentium computer. As such, certain maintenance tasks should be performed
on a regular basis.
The fixed disk in the Display Unit should be given regular maintenance through the Windows 98
operating system. Such maintenance should include emptying the Recycle Bin, defragmenting the
disk, and running ScanDisk to check for anomalies. The Disk Defragmenter and ScanDisk options
are available under Accessories, System Tools, from the main Windows 98 Start Menu. To get to
the Start Menu, close the EVXP program by either clicking on the X at the upper right hand corner,
or choosing File, and Exit from the Menu.

5. Repair and Cleaning

The most common repair to the EVXP will be changing the battery. All other repairs of any
components will be done by the manufacturer. The components will be shipped to Honeywell for
repair, and returned.
5.1 BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The Acquisition Unit contains a back-up power source which maintains the microcontroller
SRAM and RTC in the absence of external power. The back-up power source is a 3.6V Lithium
battery with a life expectancy of approximately 3 years. The voltage level of the battery is
measured during BIT to insure that the battery has not been depleted. The battery is a none
replacement item and must be return to Honeywell International for replacement
Table 5-1. Battery Specifications
Specification Value
Honeywell International Part No. 764-B04

Battery Type Lithium
Battery Size ½AA
Voltage Rating 3.6
Current Rating 850 mAh
5.2 Polytemp Fuse (Short Circuit Protection)

The Acquisition Unit contains a 3.6 Ampere re-settable fuse. In the event of an over-current
condition, the fuse will interrupt the 28 VDC aircraft input voltage, and reset once the over-current
condition has been removed. The typical trip time at 20 C is 2 seconds for a current of 8.0
Amperes.

Repair and Cleaning
5.3 CLEANING
5.3.1 Surfaces
The EVXP equipment should always be cleaned prior to storage. Clean exterior surfaces of the
major components and cables as follows:
1. Wipe surfaces with a clean, lint-free cloth moistened with a solution of water and a
mild detergent.
CAUTION: Do not use solvents of any type on the display unit screen.
2. Wipe surfaces with a clean, lint-free cloth moistened with clean water to remove
detergent residue.
3. Dry surfaces with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth, or allow to air dry.

in accordance with the manual instructions.

Chapter 2
2. Preparation for Use

The EVXP basic system consists of the acquisition unit, the display unit, CompactFlash Card
Adapter, Zio! USB CompactFlash Card Reader/Writer, the printer, and the cables to connect these
pieces. All of the other sensors can be ordered as needed, and connected as needed. Optional
equipment is listed in the introduction.
The only part of the installation that is “standard” is the interconnection between the AU, DU and
printer, and the connection to the aircraft power source. These topics are discussed in this chapter.
2.1 System Setup
2.1.1 Cable Interconnections

Preparation for Use
Figure 2-1. System Setup

Preparation for Use
Connect the EVXP system cables as follows:

1. Connect the EVXP AU to DU Cable to the COM1 connector port on the Display
Unit (DU) and to the remote DU connector of the Acquisition Unit. Connect the
power extension to the power input on the DU.
2. Connect the EVXP AU to DU Cable to the serial port printer. Connect the printer
power extension to the power input on the printer.
3. Connect the power cable to the AU and power source. This will usually be aircraft
power.
NOTE: How the remaining cables, major components, and accessories are connected
depends on the particular application or aircraft being tested. Refer to the EVXP
On-Line Help for the specific aircraft for installation instructions.
Go to section 2.2 to continue with preparation and checkout for the EVXP System.
2.1.2 Software Loading

Both the Acquisition Unit and the Display Unit require special software to operate properly. The
DU software is normally installed at the factory, and is independent of the aircraft application. The
AU also comes with software installed, but it may not be the correct software for your particular
application.
Software can be loaded into the DU and AU using the procedures below, should it become
necessary. In these procedures, the term “click” means to select with the mouse or with the touch
screen.
NOTE: Sections 2.2.2.1 and 2.2.2.2 should be referred to only if it becomes necessary to
reload the Display Unit software, or if it is necessary to load application software
for a new aircraft.
2.1.2.1 DU Software Loading Procedure

The software that provides the user interface to the EVXP Operational Program (OP) is executed
on the DU, and is called the Display Program (DP). It should not be necessary to load the DP,
because the DU is provided with the software installed. However, should this become necessary,
the loading procedure for the DU is similar to other Windows programs.
1. Insert the EVXP DU software (P/N 15480), CompactFlash Memory Card into the
adapter.
2. Make sure that the AU and DU are connected via the Remore DU Connector to DU
cable (P/N 902-17317) and that the CompactFlash Card drive is inserted in the DU
via the PC card slot.
3. Apply power to the AU and the DU.
4. Click on the Start button.
5. Click on the Run button.
6. Click on the Open box and type: d:\setup.
Or click on the Browse button and select My Computer, then select D: drive, then
select setup.exe, and then select the Open button.
7. Click on the OK button to start loading.
8. Follow the instructions and prompts using the default options.

Preparation for Use
9. When the loading is completed, restart the DU to complete the software loading.
2.1.2.2 AU Software Loading Procedure

The group of software programs that run on the AU is called the Application Program (AP), and
consists of the EVXP Operational Program (OP), SmartCharts, balance models, data collection
routes, and other configuration files. Each time the EVXP is used on a new aircraft type, an AP
specific to that aircraft must be loaded into the AU. Each AP has a unique name and part number.
Consult Honeywell International for information on which AP is required for a specific aircraft.
The APs are provided on an 8M/16M CompactFlash Card, and must be loaded into the AU via the
CompactFlash Card Reader or the Zio! Reader in the PCMCIA slot. The APs may also be stored
on the hard disk drive of the DU for easier loading in the future. The AU is generally provided
with an AP installed. However, if a new or different AP is desired, it may be loaded into the AU as
follows:
1. Connect the system cables as detailed in section 2.2.1.
2. Apply power to the AU and DU.
3. Insert the EVXP Application software 8M/16M CompactFlash card containing the
desired AP into the CompactFlash Card Reader.
4. Insert the 8M/16M CompactFlash Card and Reader into the PCMCIA slot on the
DU.
5. Start the DP by double clicking on (or touching twice in rapid succession) the EVXP
icon on the DU desktop. The dialog box shown in Figure 2-1 will appear.
6. Select Load Application from the start up menu (Figure 2-1) and click on the OK
button or press the Enter key.
Figure 2-2. Connect to AU-Load Application Dialog Box
7. In the “Look-in” pull down menu, select the (D:) drive (or appropriate location).
8. Select the desired AP file (*.app) and click on the Open button or hit the Enter key
to load the application.
NOTE: To load an application using the Operating Program (OP), check the Override
Fast Upload check box before clicking the Open button. The upload may be
slower if this option is checked.
9. In the EVXP about to load application dialog box, click on either Yes or No to save
the application to the DU hard drive. This will eliminate having to reload the
application from the PCMCIA CompactFlash Card Reader.

Preparation for Use
NOTE: Applications are saved in the directory C:\EVXP\Apps.
10. Upon completion, the DU will connect to the AU and the Select Procedure window
will appear. See Chapter 3.
2.1.3 Printer Preparation

Although any Windows printer can be used with the EVXP, the usual configuration for testing
aircraft includes a small Seiko thermal printer. The correct paper to use with this printer can be
ordered from Chadwick Helmuth. The part number is 610-199.
2.1.3.1 Loading Paper

The correct paper to use with the Seiko printer is C-H part No. 610-199. To load paper into the
printer:
1. Open paper cover by lifting up on front of paper cover and rotating toward back of
printer.
2. Turn on printer power.
3. If paper roll has been used previously, cut tip of paper straight across.
4. Insert the tip of the paper into the inlet at the bottom of the paper holder and press the
feed button until the paper is fed through the paper cutter.
5. Continue pressing the paper feed switch until the paper feeds straight and smoothly.
6. Replace the paper cover and lock it in place by gently pressing down on it.
Refer to the printer manual for more information.
2.1.3.2 Printer DIP Switch Settings

The Seiko printer is configured via three internal DIP switches. These switches must be set
correctly in order for the printer to communicate correctly with the AU. Table 2-1 shows the
correct DIP switch settings.
The DIP switch settings may be checked by turning the printer power on while pressing the On-
Line button. The current settings will then be printed. Refer to the printer manual for details on
changing the DIP switch setting

6. Shipping and Storage

The EVXP Accessory Kit comes in a protective case that is suitable for shipping and storing of the
entire unit. The case is environmentally sealed when closed, which makes it suitable for long-term
storage as well. There are sufficient storage places in the case to store the system.
Occasionally, however, it may be necessary to ship or store individual parts outside of the unit. If
you must return a part to Honeywell for repair, the part must be packed so that no damage will
occur during shipping.
6.1 REPACKING
Install major components, cables and accessories in the carrying case. Each component fits in a
specific place in the foam insert. The cables are stored under the divider attached to the top of the
carrying case.
6.2 SHIPPING
These instructions for shipping are only for returning any components to the manufacturer. All
components should be shipped so that no damage will occur. The EVXP case with its contents
should never be shipped via commercial shipping methods.
To ship an individual component for repair, store as follows:
1. Place component to be shipped in a polyethylene bag, and pack in a fiberboard
container.
2. Mark container with part number, serial number, date of shipment and your complete
address.
3. Pack the fiberboard component container in an approved shipping container, and
ship using approved shipping methods.
6.3 STORAGE
The storage instructions pertain only to the long term storage of individual components kept as
spares in the event that a major component must be repaired.
If the component being stored is one that has been returned to you after repair, the best storage is
to keep it in the packing that it came in until needed.

Shipping and Storage
For extended storage, place the major components in the protective case. The case is
environmentally sealed when closed and locked, and provides excellent long term storage for all
components.
If you have extra components that are normally stored in the protective case, they should be
placed in a polyethylene bag, and placed in a fiberboard container. Note on the fiberboard the date,
the name of the equipment (EVXP) and the serial number.
The components can withstand a temperature range of -45° to +71° C (-50° to +160° F) and a
relative humidity of up to 90% for extended periods. Store the protective case and any other
components in a cool, dry area.

8. Sensor Location & Diagram

The following sections are a description of the various sensors used for EXVP and the locations
in the aircraft.
8.1 Track & Balance

The Aircraft has been prewired at the Sikorsky factory for all track and balance requirements. The
velocimeters used are all 7310 type (5 places). The locations are (1) on the Tail Rotor Pylon, (1) at
Station 92 right (vertical), (1) at Station 92 left (vertical), (1) at Station 65 (vertical), and (1) at
Station 97 (right side lateral). The T/R velocimeter has been relocated to the vertical stabilizer rib
per Sikorsky CSN_76_213.pdf. Main and T/R magnetic pickups are already installed (5876). The
Optical Tracker connector has been prewired to the front of the aircraft. The connector is a 6 pin
connector. All the wiring has been routed to a breakout connector (41) pin located either in the
overhead between the pilot and copilot or in the left side lower cabin panel by the cabin door. This
connector will need to be utilized (spliced into) to connect to the existing sensors.
Per current Sikorsky Maintenance manuals T&B flight regimes are GND, HVR, 125, 145, and
155 Kts.
8.2 Main GBX

The main gearbox will have five ICP accelerometers (16757). One mounted on each input quill in
the lateral direction, one mounted on the left and right hand side of the transmission just below the
oil cooler blower, and one mounted vertical just aft of the trans laterals. An optional ICP
accelerometer (16757 not installed) will be supported to monitor the Swashplate bearing. A
MGBX tach (Nr) will be required for GBX time reference/GBX diagnostics (available on P912).
8.3 Hanger Bearings

The aircraft has three hanger bearings. An ICP accelerometer (16757) will be mounted inside the
tail boom in the vertical direction onto the hanger bearing support structure (hanger bearing #2
and #3 only). Hanger bearing #1 will be mounted on the left side bearing mounting hole in the
vertical direction.

Sensor Location & Diagram
8.4 T/R GBX

One ICP accelerometer (16757) will be mounted on the T/R gearbox in the lateral direction for T/
R GBX monitoring.
8.5 T/R IGB

One ICP accelerometer (16757) will be mounted on the T/R IGB in the lateral direction for T/R
IGB monitoring.
8.6 Engine(s)
Two high temperature accelerometers (1 per engine) are to be installed on each compressor. Two
engine tachs (high speed phonic wheel) are required. These will be routed to either the remote DU
panel or a connector located near the engine. These will be carry on cables only used on ground
during engine run up checks.
8.7 Accessory GBX

Two ICP accelerometers (16757) will be installed on the engine accessory gearbox (one per
engine) for accessory gearbox monitoring.
8.8 FeedThrough Connectors

Two firewall feedthrough connectors (M83723 series III type, one per engine) are required to
transition the engine HTA's and ACC GBX accelerometers out of the firewall area.
One cabin feedthrough connector (D38999 type) is required to transition all the main gearbox
sensors to the EVXP mounting location.
8.9 Other
Terminal blocks and/or splices (M81714 type) will be utilized to interface into specific aircraft
systems.
1. Two 429 Arinc cables (low speed) will be used to interface into the #1 & #2 DECU. These
will be connected at the RDAU (P604 & P606).
2. One 429 Arinc cable (low speed) will interface to the RDAU to obtain RDAU data (P606).
3. One 429 Arinc cable (low speed) will interface to the ADC to obtain ADC data (P3316R).
4. One 429 Arinc cable (high speed) will interface to the #2 AHRS to obtain AHRS data
(P231RD).

5. One 429 Arinc cable (low speed) will interface to the EGPWS to obtain EGPWS data.
6. Two Discretes will tie into the Cyclic Lateral/Longitudinal transducers at P812.
7. One Discrete will tie into the Landing Gear Down signal at the Air Data Unit (P2288).
8. One Discrete will tie into the Weight on Wheels signal at the Avionics Switching Unit
(P611RB).
9. One Discrete will tie into the Rotor Brake On signal at the RDAU (P606).
10. Six Discretes will tie into the Heading Hold, Altitude Hold IAS Hold, Autopilots Engaged (2),
and Event Marker signals at the
FDAU (P1993B).
11. One Discrete will tie into the Pedal Position Transducer signal at the FDAU (P1993A).
12. One Discrete will tie into the Radio Key Line signal at the FDAU (P105KH).
13. One Discrete will tie into the Main Gearbox Oil Pressure (warning) signal at the RDAU
(P606).
14. One TACH will tie into the Nr Tach signal at the P912 Connector at the GBX (P602).
15. Localizer/Glideslope deviation, (2) Eng anti ice,(2) main GBX Hyd pres, (2) Eng Fuel Press.
