Service Instructions No. 1175

ACCOMPLISHMENT These Service lnstructions may be accomplished as follows: INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Turn off andlor disconnect all electrical power and disconnect the battery. 2. Remove the instrument panel glareshield. 3. Inspect the engine instrument cluster and determine if it was manufactured by Aircraft Instrument and Development Incorporated. 4. If the engine instrument cluster was not manufactured by Aircraft lnstrument and Development Incorporated, reinstall the glareshield and reconnect the battery. No further action i s necessary. 5. I f t h e e n g i n e i n s t r u m e n t c l u s t e r was manufactured by Aircraft lnstrument and Development lncorporated but does not have one of the serial numbers listed under EFFECTIVITY, reinstall the glare shield and reconnect the battery. No further action is necessary. 6. If t h e e n g i n e i n s t r u m e n t c l u s t e r w a s manufactured by Aircraft lnstrument and Development lncorporated and does have one of the serial numbers listed under EFFECTIVITY, continue with step 7. 7. Refer to the Maintenance Manual, Chapter 77-00 and remove the engine instrument cluster.
NOTE Steps 8 through 15 must be accomplished by an appropriately rated instrument repair facility.

10. Using a magnifying glass, inspect each meter movement for dirt and debris. Pay particular attention to the area between the armature and the magnet in each meter movement. Clean the meter movements as necessary. 11. Using the resistance and voltage values specified in Table 1, calibrate the engine instrument cluster as follows:
NOTE Before applying power to the engine instrument cluster, test resistances must be connected to the pins corresponding to each module to be tested or the unused pins should be grounded to prevent damage to the meter movements. Any pin left open may cause the corresponding meter movement to go rapidly to full scale and possibly damage the meter movement.

a. Connect a regulated 14 volt DC (for PIN 105-38901 and PIN 108-384003-23) 28 volt DC (for 1-5 or 1-31) power supply to pin 1 of engine PIN 105-38901 instrument cluster electrical connector. Connect pin 2 to ground. Ground the chassis of the power supply to the instrument cluster case. b. For fuel quantity, fuel pressure, oil pressure, oil temperature and cylinder head temperature indicators, connect the appropriate resistance for the low scale indication as specified in Table 1 between the appropriate pin of the electrical connector (see Table 2) and ground. Adjust the zero (Z) adjustment potentiometer (see Figure 2) so the meter reads at the low scale mark on the meter dial face. c. Connect the appropriate resistance for the high scale indication from Table 1 in place of the resistance used in step 1 1 b and adjust the span (S) adjustment potentiometer (see Figure 2)so the meter reads at the high scale mark on the meter dial face. d. Substitute resistances for the various midrange indications from Table 1 for the resistance used in step llc and observe that the meter indicates within 1/16inch of the appropriate mark on the meter dia! face. e. On PIN 105-38901 1-5 and 105-38901 1-31 engine instrument clusters only, connect a variable power supply to pin 1 1 (see Table 2).Set the voltage at 14 or 28 volts, as applicable, and gradually reduce the voltage until the undervoltage light is illuminated. The light should illuminate at 12.2+ .1 volts on 14 volt clusters and 23.75? .5 volts on 28 volt clusters. The undervoltage circuit potentiometer (see Figure 2) should be adjusted within these limits. Clockwise increases the voltage at which the light illuminates. engine instrument f. On PIN 108-384003-23 clusters only, connect a 0-50 ohm 10 turn linear potentiometer between pin 4 (see Table 2)and ground and gradually reduce the resistance. The LH fuel quantity gage should drop and the low fuel light should illuminate at 1 1 -

8. Refer to the wiring diagrams in Figures 4,5 and 6 and repair the engine instrument cluster i f required. 9. Prior to reassembling the cluster, remove any
and all tape that may be found around the meter movements and on the inside of the face mask. Install PIN 49-0037mylar strips on the front of each meter movement by securing the strips under the heads of the screws that attach the dial face to the meter movement as shown in Figure 1.

12 ohms. Resistance must be reduced very gradually because the low fuel light has a 3 second delay before it illuminates after the threshold has been reached. Adjust the low fuel potentiometer (see Figure 2) to these limits. Connect the 0-50 ohm potentiometer between pin 8 (see Table 2) and ground and repeat the procedure for the RH fuel quantity gage. Check operation of the low fuel quantity light test switch in both the left and right positions. g. Disconnect the power supply and ground from pins 1 and 2 on the engine instrument cluster electrical connector. h. On PIN 105-389011-5 and PIN 105-38901 1 31 engine instrument clusters, apply voltages of 0, 25 and 50 millivolts to pins 9 + and 10- (see Table 2) and observe that the loadmeter indicates 0, 50% and 100% respectively. Meter indications should be within 1116 inch of the appropriate mark on the meter dial face. Adjust the load meter span adjustment potentiometer (see Figure 2) as required to obtain the proper readings. i. On PIN 108-384003-23 engine instrument clusters, apply voltages of 0, + 50 and - 50 millivolts to

pins 9 + and 10- (see Table 2) and observe that the ammeter indications are 0, CHG and DIS respectively. Meter indications should be within 1/16 inch of the appropriate mark on the meter dial face. Adjust the ammeter span adjustment potentiometer (see Figure 2) as required to obtain the proper readings. 12. Reassemble the engine instrument cluster into the engine instrument cluster case.

NOTE On PIN 105-389011-5 and 105-38901 1-31 engine instrument clusters, check to assure the tape is intact along the top edge of the inside of the engine instrument cluster case (see Figure 3). If necessary, replace the tape with PIN 476 black vinyl tape. This tape reduces the possibility of the fuel quantity gages shorting against the engine instrument cluster case.

13. Check the operation of the engine instrument cluster at a sufficient number of points as specified in step 11 to assure that reassembly has not caused any mechanical interference and all gages operate properly. 14. Seal the outside edge between the engine instrument cluster and the engine instrument cluster case with PIN 476 black vinyl tape. 15. Seal all adjustment holes in the engine instrument cluster case with PIN 476 black vinyl tape. 16. Refer to the Maintenance Manual, Chapter 77-00 and adjust the fuel quantity and fuel pressure gages as

required to match the airplane system. Reseal any adjustment holes as required with PIN 476 black vinyl tape. 17. Refer to the Maintenance Manual, Chapter 77-00 and reinstall the engine instrument cluster in the instrument panel. 18. Reinstall the glare shield and any other equipment or panels which may have been removed to accomplish these Service Instructions.
19. Ground run the airplane and check the engine instrument cluster for proper operation.
