Introduction
This technical manual provides operating instructions for the Air Data Test System compatible
with the requirements of first line operation for the technician and supervisor.
Scope
This technical manual contains a brief description, operation and testing procedures for the
user of this equipment with software version V1.08.
Safety
The manufacturer has designed this equipment to be safe when operated using the
procedures detailed in this manual. Do not use this equipment for any other purpose than that
stated, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
This publication contains operating and safety instructions that must be followed to make sure
of safe operation and to maintain the equipment in a safe condition. The safety instructions are
either warnings or cautions issued to protect the user and the equipment from injury or
damage.
Use qualified* technicians and good engineering practice for all procedures in this publication.
PIN Protection
The ADTS 505 contains two protected menus, the operating limits (described in this manual)
and the maintain calibration menu (described in the calibration manual).
The factory set PIN codes are contained in an envelope addressed to the Supervisor.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Change these codes for authorised access. Unauthorised access to these two menus can make
this system inaccurate and could, in control mode, cause excessive rates of pressure change.
Pressure
Do not apply pressure greater than the maximum safe working pressure to the equipment.

Table of pressure units and conversion factors
Unit Conversion
To convert FROM pressure VALUE 1 in pressure UNITS 1
TO pressure VALUE 2 in pressure UNITS 2, calculate as follows:
VALUE 2 = VALUE 1 x FACTOR 1
FACTOR 2
Note:
The conversion factor for pressure units referenced [1] are calculated for a water temperature
of 4°C. Pressure units referenced [2] are calculated for a water temperature of 68°F these units
are normally used in the USA.

1INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
The ADTS 505 is a self-contained flight-line air data test system, enclosed in an ABS case. The
unit provides complete pressure and vacuum measuring and control for on-aircraft sense and
leak testing, functional tests of air data instruments, components and systems.
The ADTS 505 displays and operates in either units of pressure measurement or aeronautical
units. In the control mode, the rate that the pressures change towards new set-points can be
controlled in true aeronautical rate units.
There are two independent pneumatic channels connect to the aircraft or instrument systems,
one for static and one for pitot. They can be operated as measure only channels with leak
testingfacilitiesor eachcan becontrolchannels producingtrue pressureconditions foraltitude
and airspeed. Two pneumatic outlet ports, on the front panel and identified as Ps (static) and
Pt (pitot) provide connection to the aircraft system or unit under test.
To protect sensitive instruments and equipment a `ground' facility automatically and safely
controls both channels to atmospheric pressure at the previously entered rates of change and
then informs the user when both channels are safely at `ground'.
Pre-defined sets of limits, stored in the system, prevent excessive pressures and rates
damaging aircraft systems and components. A further five sets of operating limits can be
defined by the supervisor or quality assurance engineer. The user can select sets of limits but
cannot change the values.
The user interface is either the key-pad and display on the front panel or one of two types of
optional hand terminal connected to the front panel. The two types of hand terminal are
identified as option A and option B.
The option A hand terminal contains all the facilities of the front panel key-pad and display.
The key-pad contains fixed function keys used to select various parameters, modes and enter
numeric values. The display shows various menus, each menu provides selections using six
menu-defined function keys.
The option B advanced hand terminal is a computer-based device that contains all the facilities
of option A on a touch-sensitive, Windows® display, colour screen. It also up-loads and down-
loads user-defined test programs and displays the resulting test data.
The integral pumps of the ADTS 505, produce pressure and vacuum supplies for the unit's
controlling requirements. The power supply connection for the unit is located onthe front panel.
