User Manual – Rev B FCS Series II
8. Option -160: RTCA / DO-160D
8.1 General
This user manual assumes that the user is familiar with the text of the relevant DO160, section
16 test standard. No attempt is made to explain or elaborate on the actual test specification.
The RTCA/DO-160D option is capable of performing all sub-sections of RTCA/DO-160D,
Sectio
CA/DO 0D cha 2 and EUR 14D / RTC 0D, Section 16 for
the AC Source signal. A selection is made available to specify the type of standard to be applied
to the EUT and the available EUT groups.
The voltage modulat this option as well. The
voltage modulation levels for the Airbus version are specified differently from DO160. All other
tests are the same for Airbus and DO160.
Throu is docum nt, RTCA 160D chang will be refer as RTCA2 ups
1 through 3 will be used to refer to the EUROCAE-14D standard. Category A(CF), A(NF) and
A(WF) will be used to refer to the RTCA2 standard.
8.2 Init
n 16, RT -16 nge No OCAE- A DO16
ion tests for Airbus ABD0100.8 are supported by
gh out th e /DO- e No2 red to . Gro
ial Setup
Nominal parameters for the AC Power source are as follows:
115V L-N or 230V L-N
Output Freq
Output Voltage
uency 360 Hz to 800 Hz
Note: A setting outside these nominal values will disable the test and will prevent
access to the DO160 Menu screens. To execute all tests for the 230V L-N, the
power source must be capable of programming 360V RMS. This requires the -EHV
ut range pair (200/400V). If this option is not installed, some tests will option outp
be skipped.
