ABOUT THIS MANUAL

Purpose

This training manual is for training use only and does not

replace approved procedures of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual Supplement (AMMS). This training manual is only an aid to the student when participating in the Panasonic Avionics Corporation Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) training program.

The training manual meets the ATA 104, ISPEC 2200, and JAR 66 development standards for the Line Maintenance Technician. The training content intends to fulfill the knowledge requirements for level B2 maintenance personnel, supporting theoretical and practical proficiency of the eXPhone system portion of the Cabin and Interior Furnishings certification standard.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Primary Objective

Using detailed reference content and practical application (when possible), this course provides guidance in the operation and maintenance of the eXPhone system to maintain a high level of readiness.

Course Outline

• 1. Course Introduction

This section provides the course learning objectives, course outline, safety information and an acronym list for use throughout the manual.

• 2. General Description

This section provides characteristics of the eXPhone system with an emphasis on system features and capabilities. Support personnel receive a general familiarization with the eXPhone system basic architecture and overview of system characteristics.

• 3. LRU General, Physical and Interface Description

This section describes major equipment racks, expands on details of the eXPhone system, and provides details of the individual LRUs.

STUDENT GUIDE

• 4. System Interface Description

This section describes the overall system ‘signal flow’ for each eXPhone service in terms of power distribution, signal types, protocols, discrete signals, and networking between the eXPhone LRUs and aircraft interfaces.

• 5. Maintenance Description

This section emphasizes routine operation normally conducted during flight and on the ground, operations relevant to sustaining, testing, and repairing the eXPhone system, and how to conduct and interpret BITE reports.

• 6. System Troubleshooting

This section provides tips for troubleshooting the system. Topics include identifying symptoms of abnormal behavior; elaborating fault symptoms; recognizing and isolating faults to an eXPhone function; and troubleshooting the faulty function to a Line Replaceable

Unit (LRU).

• 7. System Operations

This section emphasizes routine operation normally conducted during flight by cabin crew personnel.

SAFETY AND HAZARD AWARENESS NOTICE

Warnings, Cautions, and Notes (Human Factors)

	Warnings – precede content having the potential to harm, injure, or kill if not obeyed. Warnings consist of three distinctive parts; the action required for avoiding the hazard, details of the hazard, and consequences of ignoring the warning.
	Cautions – precede content having the potential to
	damage equipment if not obeyed. Cautions consist of three distinct parts; action required to avoid the damage, reason for the caution, and the consequences of ignoring the caution. Notes – provide additional information that aid the use or understanding of the equipment or subject.

Electrical Shock

The eXPhone system contains voltages hazardous to life. Maintenance personnel must obey all safety precautions when servicing the eXPhone system. Do not place beverages and/or liquids near the eXPhone system when servicing the eXPhone system. Energized connectors remain exposed with Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) removed.

Multiple Power Sources

STUDENT GUIDE

The eXPhone system uses multiple power sources from the aircraft power busses. Do not remove or install any

eXPhone system LRU with power applied. Isolate the LRU using remote or local circuit breakers, zone power control, or switches. Reference the Aircraft Maintenance Manual Supplement (AMMS) for power-isolation procedures.

Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)

The eXPhone system contains components susceptible to damage from static discharge. Use ESD grounding wristbands to equalize electrostatic potential between maintenance personnel and the eXPhone equipment when removing or installing an LRU. If an approved ESD wristband is not available, equalize the electrostatic potential by touching the rack prior to removing an LRU. Failure to follow ESD precautions reduces the mean time between-failure (MTBF) for the eXPhone components.
