4. Audio Alerting Unit
A. The audio alerting unit is located at the overhead panel. It provides an audio alerting signal, which is a musical tone, of 1 to 2 seconds duration when activated by the altitude alerting controller.
5. Operation
A. The altitude alerting system operates over a range from sea level to 50,000 feet to provide pilots with audio and visual alerting signals when a preset altitude is being approached from above or below. Synchros in the altitude alerting controller maintain a continuous comparison with the altitude synchros in captain's altimeter.
B. When the synchros in the altitude alerting controller receive signals indicating the airplane altitude to be 1000 feet from the altitude manually preset on the altitude alerting controller, the output logic circuit is activated, providing a ground path to the audio alerting unit and alerting annunciators. The audio alerting unit sounds the sequential musical tone 1 to 2 seconds and the altitude alerting annunciators illuminate. When the airplane reaches 375 feet from the selected altitude, the annunciators go off.
C. No alert signal occurs when the airplane is less than 375 feet from the selected altitude. As the airplane deviates more than 375 feet from the selected altitude, the audio alerting unit sounds for 1 to 2 seconds and the annunciators illuminate. At 1000 feet from selected altitude, the annunciators go off.
D. If preset altitude is changed or the airplane altitude exceeds 1000 feet from preset altitude, the latching circuit is automatically reset to the acquisition (approach) mode.
E. The failure monitor in the controller continuously monitors the validity signal from captain's altimeter, synchro signals and electrical power to the controller. Loss of any of these signals will bring the OFF flag into view.
