Druck 542F Air Data Test Set
Introduction
This manual is applicable to ADTS542F/552F/553F and 554F, referred to as ADTS,
and provides safety and installation information for the Air Data Test Set,
compatible with the requirements of first line operation.
A touchscreen (ADTS Touch) is used to control all required functions. The ADTS
Touch can be positioned on the ADTS or used as a hand held mobile unit via a
cable or Bluetooth® wireless technology. This allows a person to complete the
entire test program remotely while conveniently seated in the aircraft. An
ADTS Touch-ER option can be purchased for robust wireless communications in a
large body aircraft. The ADTS Touch can be powered when positioned on the
ADTS, or using a cable connection to the ADTS or battery powered. The
manufacturer has designed this equipment to be safe when operated using the
procedures detailed in this manual. For details of calibration requirements
for the ADTS, refer to User Manual K0553. For details of available
manufacturer specified parts, refer to the current revision of the product
data sheet. Service/maintenance and repair will be carried out at Druck
authorized service centers.

-
Fit a new or re-charged battery into the battery compartment, observing the keyed orientation.
Note: The battery does not necessarily need to be new or re-charged. The ADTS Touch will function safely and correctly with a flat battery when the umbilical cable or dock charging supply is connected. -
4. Refit the battery compartment cover plate and tighten the two thumbscrews (5). The cover must be fitted correctly to maintain protection afforded.
Battery Care and Maintenance
The battery unit contains a Lithium-ion battery which requires no user
maintenance. If shipping an ADTS Touch and/or battery unit please contact your
local service center beforehand for shipping requirements. Battery must be
removed from the ADTS Touch during transportation. Prolonged exposure to
temperature extremes may significantly reduce battery lifetime. For maximum
lifetime, avoid prolonged periods where the battery is exposed to temperatures
outside the range -30°C to +45°C. The recommended storage temperature range is
5°C to 21°C (41°F to 98.8°F). The battery is removable. The manufacturer makes
the following safety recommendations. The user should not:
- Short circuit the battery.
- Immerse the battery in any liquid.
- Disassemble or deform the battery.
- Expose to, or dispose of the battery in a fire.
- Subject the battery to excessive physical shock or vibration outside the specified limits for the ADTS.
- Use a battery that appears to have suffered abuse.
- Charge with an unspecified charger or specified charger that has been modified. This can cause breakdown of the battery or swelling and rupturing.
- Use a battery in an appliance or purpose for which it was not intended.
The battery unit is sealed for life, so leakage of electrolyte is not
expected. If leakage of electrolyte from the battery is observed, stop using
the battery immediately and avoid contact with the electrolyte. If skin or
clothes come into contact with the electrolyte, wash immediately with soap and
water. If electrolyte comes into contact with the eyes, wash the eyes
thoroughly with water and consult a doctor immediately.

WARNING The On/Standby Switch (3) on the front of the test set is not a disconnecting device.
- To disconnect power to the test set, either:
- Remove the power cable (5) from the front of the test set, or
- Remove the power cable from the wall socket. The wall socket connection must remain accessible.
External Functional Earth/Ground Terminal
An external earth/ground connection stud (6) is available as a functional
earth on the front panel providing a connection/bonding point for other
equipment to be connected to the same earth/ground connection as the test set
(This is not a protective earth/ground connection).
Pneumatic Connections
No external pneumatic pressures or vacuums are required as the ADTS contains
internal pressure and vacuum pumps. Hoses (available as orderable accessories
on the datasheet) are used for connection to the “Pitot” (Pt) (1) and “Static”
(Ps) (2) output ports of the ADTS. The “Pitot” (Pt) and “Static” (Ps) outputs
can then be connected to the corresponding Pitot and Static connectors on the
aircraft or aeronautical instruments. The maximum Pt and Ps output pressure is
2 bar absolute.The following table details the possible connector
specifications:
