There are 12 independent synchro signe! inputs for conventional synchro signals 11.6V with 26 Vac excitation. These 12 inputs can alternately receive signels as: 1. DOSwire of Oto 18 volts in which case its excitation input —12 Vde has to be connected to program pin 49 (1A). Labeled PROG.DC3. Excitation low of this input has to go to ground, 2. DO2wire [absolute value] of Oto 12 volts, in this case its excitation +12 Vde is connected to pin 48 (J14). Labeled PROG.DO2, 3.5 CESSATION OF RECORDING Federal Air Reguiation 25.1459 a (6) specifies that there must be “an autometic means to simultaneously siop a recorder that hes data erasure feature and prevent each erasure from functioning within 10 minutes after crash impact.” The installer must demonstrate this function. Since the F1000 SSFDR can be ponered by elther 115 Vac, 400 Hz or 28 Vide, the following method is acceptable to ensure recording is automatically stopped. IMPACT SWITCH — Interrupts FDR power upon exposure to a predetermined level of g-oree. in order to restart FDR operation, & FAR 02420008 October 10, 1994 reset switch is usually depressed on the impact switch. Suchsnitcheshave limitations, ut are effective in high g—‘orce accidents. This item is not avellable through Loral.

Exemples of typical Aircratt—to—SS-DR shutdown interlace is shown in Figure 24, sheets 1 and 2, which mey eoply to the following ‘A. Absence of ol pressure on all engines. B. Absence of engine driven vacuum source. ‘There are wo delayed shutdown option’s available with the SSFDR. Delayed Shutdown, A (J1A=44) actvates the shutcown circuitry within the SSFDA when 28 Vde is applied. Delayed Shutdown 8 (J1A-<7) activates the shutdown circuitry within the SSFOR when ground is appliac. Where wiring the Delayed Shutdown feature, wire either Delayed Shutdown A or Delayed Shutdown B. Do not wire both options. NOTE: The Automatic SSFDR feature can be used with ether +28 Vdc or 115 Vac, 400 Hz primary input power.
