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. An ADTS Touch-ER option can be purchased for robust
wireless communications in a large body 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 authorized service centers.

1.4 Power Supply
1.5 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.
The ADTS must be connected to the correct electrical power supply as stated, adjacent to the
power connector.
1.6 Fuses
The two High Breaking Capacity fuses (8) (see Figure 3.1), 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.
1.7 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.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK There is a risk of electric 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

2. ADTS Touch
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.
• Using an umbilical cable connected to a powered-on ADTS.
• Powered from its own battery pack.
• Powered from a universal power supply unit
Figure 2-1: ADTS Touch Docking Connector
The ADTS Touch is equipped with an On/Off switch (2) and USB connectors for connection to
a PC or mass storage device (3).

Connector (4) allows connection between the base unit and the ADTS Touch using a 5 metre
or 18 metre umbilical cable.
Note: Only use cables that have been supplied by or purchased from GE.
Figure 2-3: ADTS Touch Umbilical Cable Connector
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 2-4: 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.
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.
2.2 Battery Care and Maintenance
The battery unit contains a Lithium-ion battery which requires no user maintenance. If
shipping an ADTS Touch and/or battery unit please contact your local service center
beforehand for shipping requirements. Battery must be removed from the ADTS Touch during
transportation. 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
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.

immediately with soap and water. If electrolyte comes into contact with the eyes, wash the
eyes thoroughly with water and consult a doctor immediately.
The ADTS5xxF, ADTS Touch and ADTS Touch-ER contain a Lithium-ion coin cell. This coin cell
is not user replaceable. Installation and replacement shall only be performed by trained
personnel.
Always dispose of batteries safely and in accordance with local instructions.
2.3 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 (4) (see Figure 2-3) to the ADTS using the
umbilical cable.
• By using the AATOUCH-5 optional accessory desktop charger. The battery must be
removed from ADTS Touch when it is charged by the AATOUCH-5 desktop charger.
• Using a universal power supply unit connected to the ADTS Touch using an adapter:
Figure 2-5: Universal Power Supply Unit and Adapter
The ADTS Touch universal power supply and the desktop charger are both rated for indoor
use only.

a. Remove the power cable (5) from the front of the test set, or
b. 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.
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 2 bar absolute.
The following table details the possible connector specifications:
