NOTE THEN :
- The "RED" lights are WARNING lights (serious operating danger)
- The AMBER lights are CAUTION lights (reduction in the possibilities of a system or abnormal operating configuration).
NOTE : An abnormal operating configuration is for example "GPU door open before takeoff" but
it is not a failure.

The indicator lights which can be cancelled by the pilot are switched off either by the control switch of the failed
function, if there is one for each of the system functions, or via the "CAUT" light if one of the functions monitored does
not have a control switch.
EXAMPLE 1 - Switch (1) must be set to OFF to extinguish the "WSCRN" light.
EXAMPLE 2 - The "CAUT" light must be pressed to switch off the "FUEL" caution light; both lights go out. Only the
"FUEL", "HYD", "XMSN" and "ENG" caution lights can be switched off in this way.

The electric power is distributed by the essential and secondary distribution bus bars. The essential buses are normally
supplied from 2 transformer-rectifiers in flight or from the aircraft battery on the ground, with the rotor stopped (or in
flight in the event of transformer-rectifier failure).
The secondary buses cannot be supplied from the battery as the only source.
In order to maintain the "indicating" function in the different cases of electrical failures, the indicating system has a
double power supply: one power supply system from an essential bus and from a secondary bus. Hence, except for
the case of total failure, the indicating system is available in all cases of electrical power failure.

• A 1600Hz aural warning generated by the red indicating PCBs (16WW X6 and Y6), when an engine (1 or 2) or MGB
fire is detected for other red alarm an audio "GONG" signal (400Hz) is generated.
• Aural warning generated by the NR function PCB (16 WW X3). A 1200Hz frequency signal sounds, when the NR
exceeds the maximum value. A 600 Hz frequency signal sounds when the NR drops below the minimum value.
• Aural warning generated by the GONG Unit (25 WW) when the VMS computer (AMC) detects an exceedance of the
maximum take off power (MTOP) or maximum continuous power (MCP).
• A continuous « GONG » signal is triggered by AMC when the load factor is too high, before to reach the stall limitation
of the main servocontrols if they were controlled by only one body.
Except for the "MCP/MTOP" Gong, the pilot has to press either the "AURAL" push-button on the sub-panel or one of
the "WARN" lights to temporarily cancel the warnings.
The aircraft configuration is taken into account : measuring system, training mode, position of the starter selector switch
and the governing system. It calculates and displays the total torque values and engine limitations (AEO and OEI).
Additional functions are included : First limit indicator, cycle counting, engine power check, and performance calculation.
A maintenance mode is used to locate faulty VMS and peripheral components.

2.5.2 PRINCIPLE
The AMC is a duplex computer comprising two channels (one master and one slave) each including one Input/
Output board, a processor unit, a dual power supply and protection against lightning and electromagnetic radiation.
The signals from the sensors are conditioned by one or the other I/O boards with LH/RH segregation provided by
independent connectors. The signals are then transmitted to the two processors. All the detectors are "simplex" type
except for the OAT, T°, PO, IAS and TAS detectors.
Each Input/Output is associated with the two processors. After processing, the processors echange their data via
the "cross-talk" line, which compares them. An error message is displayed if a discrepancy is detected. In the event
of a failure, all the functions are available on the other module. The data are then transmitted to the 2 EID screens.
Each power supply unit is connected to both of the aircraft 28V DC systems. They supply the power necessary for
each Input/Output board and for one processor. If one power supply fails, the associated processor is lost.
Two ADCs (Air Data Computers) supply the air data (according to the pilot's selection on the MFDs).
A PC-type computer can be connected in order to upload or download data.

FADEC via the ARINC 429 or RS 422 lines.
• "GOV" is activated by the FADEC via the ARINC 429 or RS 422 lines. The alarm flashes (only on the ground) if
redundancy is lost. The alarm is steady in the event of a minor governing failure.
• "FADEC" is displayed via a FADEC logic output. This output also activates the amber "ENG" light on the warning
panel and the amber "CAUT" light. "FADEC" is displayed in the event of a major FADEC failure.
• "BLEED" is displayed in the event of failure of the bleed valve control.
• "CHIP" is displayed if metal particles are detected.
Counters:

After the flight (ground condition), any OEI range use will be reminded to the crew by mean of a flashing red symbol.

The VMS displays the pages selected by the pilot with the appropriate symbology. It determines the engine status in
accordance with a logic based on the N1 gas generator speeds and the FADEC data. It selects the symbology on the

A metal particle detection test can be performed using the switch located on the overhead panel associated with a
board in board rack 16 WW (X8). This test is performed over four sequences lasting 1.8 seconds per sequence with
a pause of 0.2 seconds.

• Sequence 2: ENG 1 particle detection test
• Sequence 3: ENG 2 particle detection test
• Sequence 4: IGB, TGB, MGB1 (flared housing), MGB2 (inter-module) and MGB3 (gearbox bottom) particle

The FADEC performs the EPC (engine power and thermal load check), checks the stability of the parameters (N1,
N2, T4.5, TRQ) and calculates the mean value for 15 seconds. It then transmits the results and validities to the VMS
EPC page.

The last 10 pages of results are stored by the VMS. These pages can be reviewed on the ground using the EID
+/- keys when an EPC page is selected. If a FADEC power control is invalid, the "EPC NOT AVAILABLE" message
is displayed in place of the result.

When ever OEI range has been used (LO or HI) and after landing it is necessary to RESET the red flashing clock

If is not reset, this symbol will be displayed at each power on until engine starting.
The crew can modify the pages displayed using the keys located below the screens. The "ENG" page is always
displayed on one screen. The other screen displays the page selected by the crew.
The message line will indicate the faulty component if the computer can locate the failure. The messages are displayed
on the engine page. If this page is unavailable, the messages will be displayed on another available page.
Three colors are used according to the level of probability:
• Red: definite failure
• Yellow: probable failure
• White: possible failure
SYSTEM SELF-TEST
At power-up, and then during operation, the reliability of the system is continuously checked by tests. It must be
ensured that a single failure does not lead to the loss of display of more than one parameter.
The AMC computer includes 2 channels which operate as Master and Slave. A three-position "AMC 1/N/2" switch
can be used to select AMC1 or AMC2 if a problem is detected on a channel. In this case, no parameter cross-check
is performed.
The EIDs transmit a power-up signal and a correct-operation signal to the computer. If a screen is switched off by the
crew, the system is automatically reconfigured. All the functions are available on the remaining screen.

During a session X, the VMS stores the possible failures with a reference time zero.
As soon as the NR exceed 50%, clock starts and failures will be recorded at the time t of their appearance.
In case of NR information loss (NR sensor failure or after jacking the helicopter), a signal from the ground flight logic
may maintain or initiale the clock operation.
Likewise, the ground signal from the same logic will stop the clock and will close the session once the helicopter will
be grounded.

The "N1", "T4.5" and "Torque" margins, calculated by the FADECs according to the AEO (All Engines Operative)
or OEI (One Engine Inoperative) situation, are transmitted to both channels of the AMC computer. Based on these
margins, the AMC calculates the six "MCP", "MTOP" and "MTP" AEO - "OEI CT" - "OEI LO" (2 mn) and "OEI HI" (30
s) margins and converts them into a collective pitch (CPL) margin.
The APM1 and 2 autopilot computers, receiving this "CPL" margin, locate it on an actual collective pitch scale measured
on the collective pitch trim actuator. In the event of total failure of the AMC, the autopilot computers will only transmit
the "collective pitch scale" signal to the FNDs.
