Preamble
PRINCIPLE OF A PITOT-STATIC SYSTEM
1. DEFINITION
A pitot-static system is a system of pressure measurement instruments that is most
commonly used in aeronautics to determine the speed, altitude and rate of climb or
descent of an aircraft in flight. Such a system usually includes a Pitot tube, one or
more static plugs, as well as the related instruments, such as the anemometer, the
altimeter and the variometer.
Diagram of a pitot-static system, including the Pitot tube, the static plug and the flight instruments
connected to them.
A pitot static tube consists of two concentric bent tubes, the orifices of which are
arranged in a particular manner:
The outer tube opens perpendicular to the fluid flow. The pressure inside this tube
is therefore equal to the ambient pressure or static pressure (Ps)
The inner tube is parallel to the fluid flow, and is open at its end, facing the flow.
The pressure inside it is therefore the total pressure (Pt), the sum of the static
pressure and the dynamic pressure.

DEVICE INSTALLATION
1. PRESENTATION OF ADSE 550
1.1. GENERAL
The ADSE 550 pressure controller is housed in a very robust case, which can be
moved directly on the aircraft, on the tarmac or in the hangar, in order to carry out "in
situ" testing of equipment mounted on the aircraft.
1.2. APPLICATIONS
The ADSE 550 Pressure Generator / Controller has been specially designed to simplify
pressure testing on aircraft-based equipment (altimeter, airspeed indicator,
speedometer, data computers, etc.) that they are in the workshop, in the hangar or
directly on the tarmac.

2. DEVICE INSTALLATION
2.1. POWER SUPPLY
The ADSE550 works with four
battery/rechargeable battery LR6 (AA)
The unit has a charge indication LED:
Red: batteries under 20% of charge capacity.
Orange: batteries between 20% and 80% of
charge capacity.
Green: batteries over 80% of charge capacity.
Estimated usage time with charged battery: 6 hours
To remove the batteries from the unit,
proceed as follows:
1. Press the side of the battery drawer
to unlock it.
2. Pull the drawer out completely from
the unit.
3. Remove the batteries from the
drawer and replace them.
4. To reinstall the battery drawer put
him back in the unit and push until
it's lock
Warning: Remove the batteries when
the device is in storage.

2.2. PNEUMATIC CONNECTORS
Two pneumatics connectors (Quick coupling) for connecting the bench to the Pitot
static system of an aircraft or for controlling other applications are present on the front
of the device.
Pt (Blue)
Quick coupling pneumatic
connectors (self-sealing and
keyed) to connect the bench to the
Pitot system of the aircraft or any
other low-pressure applications.
Ps (Red)
Quick coupling pneumatic
connectors (self-sealing and keyed)
to connect the bench to the Static
system of the aircraft or any other
vacuum applications.
