System Wiring 

2.5

 

When ringing out wires in TYCO 1-794617-2 or equivalent connector, 
DO NOT insert oversized pins or probe into the main connector. 

WARNING

 

 

Wire the system in accordance with the Wiring Schematic 70308800-15 Rev. A.  Maximum 
current in any wire is 0.5 A.  All items marked as reference (REF) are to be customer 
supplied. 

Power for the SCc is supplied through the aircraft power bus. The system is also tied to the 
navigation lights, to facilitate day/night dimming. See the Wiring Schematic for details. 

 

Ensure  1.9” minimum bend radius for either CAT5e cable 
assembly  Do not overcompress either CAT5e cable via 
clamping. 

NOTE

 

 

3704-160-1  should be inserted into Indexer Computer.  3704-150-2 should connect to the 
Lift Transducer. 

 

FAA approval of this document includes authorization for 
connection of audio output into aircraft audio system.  See 
Wiring Schematic for details on audio specifications. 

NOTE

 

 

 

Lift Transducer Installation  

2.6

Connect the Lift Transducer to the Cable Assembly, CAT5E, 3704-150-2.  

Mount  the  Lift Transducer using  two  screws  in the  vertical  slotted holes on the mounting 
plate. 

 

Ground Functional Test 

2.7

The Lift Transducer vane should move freely in both directions with no resistance.  

With the electrical power OFF the Indexer Computer should not be lit. 

Turn the main power ON. The Indexer Computer will perform a Power-on Self-Test, 
illuminating all of the LEDs for approximately five seconds. The audio alert will also be active 
during the self-test. After the self-test, the audio will cancel and the LEDs will indicate the 
current position of the transducer. 

 

The single 

red

 LED will continue to blink at 1 Hz until the system 

has been calibrated in flight.  

NOTE

 

 

Observe the Indexer Computer for a transition to the  low-AoA  side of the display, with a 
single 

green

 LED illuminated when the Lift Transducer vane is gently pushed down (AFT). 

Gently push the vane up (FORWARD). The Indexer Computer should transition to the high-
AoA side of the display, followed by the flashing of the two 

red

 LEDs, indicating LAA.  

Turn the navigation light switch on and observe Indexer Computer display dims. 

 

The aircraft’s stall warning system is the primary stall warning

.  

The 

AoA System is non-required  equipment  and is to be used only as 
supplemental information to the pilot

.

 

CAUTION
