1. Passenger Compartment
1.1. Introduction
Purpose
The lights in the passenger compartment supply these functions:
- General light in the passenger compartment

- Reading lights
- Information lights for the passengers and attendants
- Lighting in the lavatories
- Lighting in the galleys
- Lighting for an emergency.
The light system also lets the passenger call the attendants for aid.
General
These lights are in the passenger compartment:
- Reading lights
- Passenger signs
- Lavatory lights and signs
- Passenger and lavatory call lights
- Galley lights.
These lights are also in the passenger compartment and you control these
lights at an attendant control panel:
- Window lights (sidewall lights)

- Ceiling lights
- Attendant work lights
- Entry lights (direct and threshold)

1.2. General Description RS485 Data Bus

There are five RS485 data bus channels. The data bus channels send the color,
General brightness, scene and zone information for each LED light assembly.
The attendant control panels (ACP) control the passenger compartment
lighting. The lights receive color, scene and zone commands on a data bus. Data connects in series from one LED light assembly to the next LED light
The CAB/UTIL switch on the P5 panel and relays contro electrical power to the assembly in that data channel. If an LED assembly does not pass the data
lights. command, the remaining lights in the channel will not respond to ACP
commands. Those lights will turn white.
The LED lights need three functions to operate correctly: address/token, data
bus control and electric power. Each of these functions has separate wiring. Channel 1 connects the forward direct entry light, the forward direct and cove
lights and the left window and over wing exit (OWE) lights.
Attendant Control Panels (ACP)
The ACPs are touch screen LCDs and control light operation. The forward and Channel 2 connects the left ceiling wash, crossbin and center overhead

from the aft ACP go to the forward ACP and then to the LED light assemblies.
The forward ACP connects to the ceiling, window, COS, direct and cove lights. Channel 3 connects the right COS, crossbin and ceiling wash lights.
It also connects to the forward threshold and forward attendant work lights.
The aft ACP connects directly to the aft attendant work light. Channel 4 connects the right window lights, the right OWE lights, the aft
cove, direct entry and direct lights.
Power Sources
The ACP uses 28V DC. The CAB/UTIL switch must be on for light operation. Channel 5 connects the two ACPs.
The CAB/UTIL switch controls power to the R120 relay. The R120 relay controls
the R394 and R427 relays. These relays give 115V AC from the ground service
bus to the lights.
Some LED light assemblies receive electrical power in parallel. Other LED
assemblies receive power in a series of six LEDs maximum.
Electrical power to the window and cove lights is connected in series. There
are six groups of window light assemblies. Each group has a maximum of six
light assemblies that have electrical power connected in series. The cove lights
have a maximum of two lights that are connected in series.
Electrical power to the remaining lights is connected in parallel.

lights on an airplane.

The cove lights are RGBW lights. The electrical power is connected in series.

Threshold Light
The threshold light is an incandescent light.
Attendant Work lights

The attendant work lights are incandescent lights.
Termination Resistors
There is a termination resistor after the last LED light assembly in data bus
RS485 channels 1 through 4.
Training Information Point

A thorough understanding of the lighting system maybe needed to identify
a faulty LED light assembly or wiring problem. A fault may be an addressing
(tokening), data, power or relay related issue. A non responsive light may be a
good light. The actual fault may be anywhere upstream of the non responsive
light.
Data flows only in series in five data bus channels.
Electric power is in series or in parallel. Following the data path and separate
electric power path correctly is critical to effective trouble shooting.
These paths may flow in opposite directions.

lights forward of the OWE light and five lights aft of the OWE light. The left
OWE lights are controlled by data bus channel 1. The right OWE lights are
controlled by data bus channel 4.

A thorough understanding of the lighting system maybe needed to identify
a faulty LED light assembly or wiring problem. A fault may be an addressing

The window (sidewall) lights supply lighting to the areas below the stowage
bins and above the over wing emergency exits in the passenger compartment.
Location
The lights are below the stowage bins and above the windows in the
passenger compartment. The window lights are installed inside the air
conditioning (ac) rail.
Physical Description
The light assembly consists of a series of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Remove
the lens to get access to the light. The RS 485 data and address/tokening
wires connect from one light assembly to the next in the ac rail. The LED lights
need three functions to operate correctly: address/token, data bus control and
electric power. Each of these functions has separate wiring.
The window lights are RGBW type LED lights. RGBW lights have many red,
green, blue and white (RGBW) LED bulbs.
The RGBW LED light assemblies can have 32 different colors including warm
and cool white. These lights turn green in the address/token procedure.
The lights have internal processors which store address, zone and scene
information and are controlled by the attendant control panel.
The window lights receive electrical power in a series of six window lights

Troubleshooting Tips
Troubleshooting to find a faulty LED light assembly can be complex. A fault
may be an addressing (tokening), data, power or relay related issue. A
thorough understanding of the lighting system maybe needed to identify a
faulty LED light assembly or wiring problem.
If a series of window lights will not turn on, check the power connections
from the most upstream light next to the first light that does not come on.
The upstream light maybe physically aft or forward of the lights that do not
turn on.
The RS485 data bus connections flow physically aft only for the window light
assemblies. The ceiling, center overhead stowage and direct light assemblies
data flow maybe physically forward or aft on the airplane.
There are six connector types for the window light assemblies. Use the
BSI adapter cable assembly C33001-1 (SPL-13463) to bypass and isolate a
suspected faulty light assembly. The BSI adapter cable assembly is listed in the
Illustrated Tool and Equipment Manual.
The window lights have three places on each side of the airplane where
airplane 115V AC power comes in: sta 419, sta 616 and sta 866. Power
goes both forward and aft through each window light assembly from these
locations. A maximum of six lights maybe connected in series for power.
IF no lights are responsive to ACP input, make sure the CAB/UTILITY switch is
in the ON position.
