Pack Flow Selector
Permits selection of Pack Flow according to number of passengers and ambient conditions.
Zone Temperature Selectors
Adjust Temperature for associated Zone.
HOT AIR Switch
- ON - Automatically controls zone Hot Air pressure regulating valve.
- OFF - Closes Hot Air pressure regulating valve and trim air valves and resets fault circuit.
- Fault Light - Illuminates amber when duct overheat is detected. If this occurs, the zone Hot Air pressure regulating valve and
trim air valves automatically close. The FAULT light stay on until ;power temperature is sensed with the switch off.
RAM AIR Switch (Guarded)
- ON - Illuminates when selected on. If the DITCHING switch is in its normal guarded position:
- Ram Air inlet opens
- Normal outflow valve control is maintained if differential pressure is greater than or equal to 1 psi
- Outflow valve opens if differential pressure is less than 1 psi.
- OFF - Closes Ram Air inlet.
APU BLEED Switch
- ON - Opens APU Bleed valve provided N is greater than 95% and there is no leak on APU or left side Bleed.
- OFF - Closes APU valve.
- Fault Light - Illuminates amber when APU leak is detected.
X BLEED Selector
- AUTO - Opens crossbleed valve if APU Bleed valve is open; closes crossbleed valve if APU Bleed valve is closed or an air
leak is detected.>
- OPEN - Opens crossbleed valve>
- SHUT - Closes crossbleed valve>
PACK 1/2 Switches
- ON - Automatically controls Pack Flow control valve. Valve regulates flow, except in the following conditions:
- Upstream pressure is below minimum
- Compressor outlet overheat
- During Engine Start sequence with ENG MODE selector set to IGN/START or CRANK and:
- Either ENG MASTER switch is ON
- The start valve is open
- N2 is less than 50%
- Corresponding fire switch is depressed
- DITCHING switch is selected ON
- OFF - Closes Pack Flow control valve.
- Fault Light - Illuminates amber when Pack Flow control valve position disagrees with selected position, or if compressor outlet
overheats
ENG BLEED 1/2 Switches
- ON - Opens Bleed valve provided:
- Upstream pressure is above 8 psi
- APU BLEED switch is OFF or APU Bleed valve is closed
- There is no leak, over-pressure or over-temperature detected
- ENG FIRE switch not released out
- Engine start valve is closed
- OFF - Closes Bleed valve and HP valve. OFF light illuminates white.
- Fault Light - Illuminates amber to indicate:
- Over-pressure downstream of Bleed valve
- Bleed overheat
- Wing or engine leak on associated side
- Bleed valve not closed during Engine Start
- Bleed valve not closed with APU Bleed ON
