Multi-role recorder grounds
The multi-role recorder has the following three grounds:
•
GND: internal electrical ground
•
CHASSIS: mechanical ground
•
POWER(-): 28V return
N
OTE
:
All three grounds are isolated from one another inside the multi-role recorder.
GND
GND is the zero volt line that all internal signal conditioning modules use. All input and output signals on the multi-
role recorder are referenced to this potential. The GND point is also available on the multi-role recorder Power
Supply Unit (PSU) connectors.
CHASSIS
Each multi-role recorder has a mechanical ground available using the ground mounting bolt (see
). Mechanical grounding is also available using the CHASSIS pin on the multi-role recorder I/O connector
(where available). This pin is connected to the multi-role recorder chassis.
POWER(-)
POWER(-) is the return line for the 28V multi-role recorder power supply.
N
OTE
:
The POWER(-) pin is not connected to the CHASSIS line or GND line within the multi-role recorder.
Grounding a multi-role recorder
Each ground must be connected to the main star point on the aircraft or vehicle using a low impedance connection.
Hence the GND pins on a multi-role recorder PSU connector, the CHASSIS pin on the PSU connector (if available)
and the POWER (-) pin on the PSU connector must be connected directly to the star point. It is acceptable to use
the ground mounting bolt on the PSU instead of the CHASSIS pin. A common cable must not be used to take more
than one of these signals to the star point.
N
OTE
:
To prevent interference between different grounding connections, when more than one multi-role recorder
is used, each multi-role recorder must be connected to the star point using individual cables. Shared cables
must not be used. See examples of grounding configurations in the following two figures.
