DCS: Mirage F1 Flight Manual

Version 1.0

Controls

Battery switch: connects the battery to the DC system.

Alternator 1 switch: connects alternator 1 to the AC system.

Alternator 2 switch: connects alternator 2 to the AC system.

TR reset button: used to reset the transformer-rectifiers.

Inverter selector switch: enables the emergency AC system to be supplied by the
alternators or the DC system through the static inverter. It has two steady positions (INV
and AUTO) and a RESET spring-loaded position.

Failure lights

Red BATT light: the battery is disconnected from the main system.

Amber ALT 1 light: the alternator 1 is not supplying its system.

Amber ALT 2 light: the alternator 1 is not supplying its system.

Amber TR1 light: the transformer-rectifier 1 is not supplying the DC systems.

Amber TR2 light: the transformer-rectifier 2 is not supplying the DC systems.

Amber SEC ̴ light: emergency AC system supplied by the inverter.

Red MODUL light: excessive modulations of the vario-alternator driving torque.
