K0554 Revision A 1
1 Introduction
This manual is applicable to ADTS542F/552F/553F and 554F, referred to as ADTS, and
provides safety and installation information for the Air Data Test Set, compatible with
the requirements of first line operation.
A touchscreen (ADTS Touch) is used to control all required functions. The ADTS Touch
can be positioned on the ADTS or used as a hand held mobile unit via a cable or
Bluetooth®wireless technology. This allows a person to complete the entire test
program remotely while conveniently seated in the aircraft. The ADTS Touch can be
powered when positioned on the ADTS, or using a cable connection to the ADTS or
battery powered.
The manufacturer has designed this equipment to be safe when operated using the
procedures detailed in this manual.
For details of calibration requirements for the ADTS, refer to User Manual K0553.
For details of available manufacturer specified parts, refer to the current revision of the
product data sheet.
Service/maintenance and repair will be carried out at GE authorised service centres.
1.1 Intended use
Test and calibration of aircraft aeronautical pressure instruments located indoor in a
hanger or calibration laboratory or outdoor on a runway, refer to User Manual K0553
for further information.
WARNING
THIS EQUIPMENT IS NOT RATED FOR USE IN POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERES. USING THIS EQUIPMENT IN A POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERE COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by this document and K0553 the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
1.2 Safety
Examine all equipment to be used, paying particular attention to electrical leads and
connectors and pneumatic pipes and connectors. DO NOT use any equipment that is
known to be or suspected to be damaged or faulty.
1.3 Power supply
1.4 Power supply connection
Do not apply electrical power outside the values stated.
Make sure that the power supply is off before connecting the power cable.
Single phase 110/230 VAC, 50/60Hz 200 VA MAX
115 VAC, 400Hz

2 K0554 Revision A
The ADTS must be connected to the correct electrical power supply as stated, adjacent to
the power connector.
CAUTIONS
THERE IS A RISK OF ELECTIC SHOCK/ELECTROCUTION IF THERE IS NOT A
PROTECTIVE EARTH IN PLACE. THE ADTS MUST, AT ALL TIMES, BE CONNECTED
TO THE SUPPLY PROTECTIVE EARTH/GROUND.
THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE AND CONNECTOR MUST BE CORRECTLY RATED FOR
THE POWER SUPPLY. ONLY USE POWER CABLES SUPPLIED BY GE SPECIFICALLY
FOR THE ADTS.
1.5 Fuses
The two High Breaking Capacity fuses (8) (see Figure 7), located in the holders and
mounted on the front panel, protect the unit. The fuses are connected in the live and
neutral supply circuit and are rated at: T5AH 250V
1.6 Replacing a fuse
1. Disconnect the electrical power supply.
2. Unscrew the fuse holder cap from the front panel and remove the fuse.
3. Fit a new fuse of the correct size and rating into the fuse holder cap.
4. Secure the fuse holder cap in the front panel.
2ADTSTouch
The ADTS Touch is used to control all required functions. The ADTS Touch can be
positioned on the ADTS or used as a hand held mobile unit via a cable or Bluetooth®
wireless technology.
The ADTS Touch will have power applied when positioned (docked) (1) on a powered-on
ADTS, or using a cable connected to a powered-on ADTS, or can be battery powered.

The ADTS Touch can contain one Lithium-ion battery which is housed in the battery
compartment of the ADTS Touch.
2.1 Replacing the battery
Figure 4 ADTS Touch battery compartment
Note: Only use batteries that have been supplied by or purchased from GE.
Prior to replacing the battery, switch the ADTS Touch off. If the ADTS Touch is connected to
the umbilical cable or Docking connector, disconnect prior to removing the battery cover
plate.
1. Unscrew the two thumbscrews (5) of the battery compartment cover plate and remove
the cover plate.

CAUTION
WHEN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER PLATE IS REMOVED AND THE
ADTS TOUCH IS TILTED WITH THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT FACING
DOWNWARDS, THE BATTERY CAN FALL OUT OF THE ADTS TOUCH CAUSING
DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY.
2. Use the tab attached to the battery to slide the battery out of the battery
compartment.
3. Fit a new or re-charged battery into the battery compartment, observing the keyed
orientation.
Note: The battery does not necessarily need to be new or re-charged. The ADTS Touch will
function safely and correctly with a flat battery when the umbilical cable or dock charging
supply is connected.
4. Refit the battery compartment cover plate and tighten the two thumbscrews (5). The
cover must be fitted correctly to maintain protection afforded.
Battery care and maintenance
The battery unit contains a Lithium Ion battery which requires no user maintenance.
Prolonged exposure to temperature extremes may significantly reduce battery
lifetime. For maximum lifetime, avoid prolonged periods where the battery is exposed
to temperatures outside the range -30°C to +45°C.
The recommended storage temperature range is 5°C to 21°C (41°F to 98.8°F).
The battery is removable. The manufacturer makes the following safety
recommendations. The User should not:
• Short circuit the battery.
• Immerse the battery in any liquid.
• Disassemble or deform the battery.
• Expose to, or dispose of the battery in a fire.
• Subject the battery to excessive physical shock or vibration outside the specified limits
for the ADTS.
• Use a battery that appears to have suffered abuse.
• Charge with an unspecified charger or specified charger that has been modified. This
can cause breakdown of the battery or swelling and rupturing.
• Use a battery in an appliance or purpose for which it was not intended.
The battery unit is sealed for life, so leakage of electrolyte is not expected. If leakage of
electrolyte from the battery is observed, stop using the battery immediately and avoid
contact with the electrolyte. If skin or clothes come into contact with the electrolyte,
wash immediately with soap and water. If electrolyte comes into contact with the eyes,
wash the eyes thoroughly with water and consult a doctor immediately.
Always dispose of batteries safely and in accordance with local instructions.

2.2 Battery charging
The battery in the ADTS Touch can be charged using one of the following methods:
• By placing the ADTS Touch onto a powered ADTS.
• By connecting the ADTS Touch connector (7) (see Figure 7) to the ADTS using the umbilical
cable.
• Using a universal power supply unit connected to the ADTS Touch using an adapter:
Figure 5 Universal power supply unit and adapter
The ADTS Touch universal power supply and the desktop charger are both rated for indoor
use only.

3.1 Power-Up Test (see Figure 7)
1. Fit “Pitot” (Pt) (1) and “Static” (Ps) (2) port blanks.
2. Ensure that the test set is connected to an external power supply and the supply is
switched on.
3. Use the On/Standby Switch (3) on the front of the test set to switch the test set on.
The test set performs a self test, resulting in a test set status indication (4a) “Pass” or
“Fault”.
The test set status indications are as follows:

4d Aircraft status:
- When the ADTS is controlling the aircraft and it is “off ground”, the LED
will be Yellow
- When the ADTS is controlling the aircraft to “going to ground”, the LED
will flash yellow
- When the ADTS has made the aircraft “safe at ground”, the LED is green
- In standby-mode, this LED will be off.

Figure 7 ADTS front panel
The On/Standby Switch (3) on the front of the test set is not a disconnecting device. To
disconnect power to the test set, either:
4. Remove the power cable (5) from the front of the test set, or
5. Remove the power cable from the wall socket. The wall socket connection must remain
accessible.
3.2 External functional earth/ground terminal
An external earth/ground connection stud (6) is available as a functional earth on the front
panel providing a connection/bonding point for other equipment to be connected to the
same earth/ground connection as the test set (This is not a protective earth/ground
connection).
3.3 Pneumatic Connections
No external pneumatic pressures or vacuums are required as the ADTS contains internal
pressure and vacuum pumps.

K0554 Revision A 9
Hoses (available as orderable accessories on the datasheet) are used for connection to
the “Pitot” (Pt) (1) and “Static” (Ps) (2) output ports of the ADTS.
The “Pitot” (Pt) and “Static” (Ps) outputs can then be connected to the corresponding Pitot
and Static connectors on the aircraft or aeronautical instruments.
The maximum Pt and Ps output pressure is 2bar absolute.
The following table details the possible connector specifications:
Mating female parts are available from GE.
