Figure 4-6. Jetcal Tester
·
Establish the proper relationship
between the EGT and engine rpm
on engine runup during tabbing
(micing) procedures by the rpm
check (takcal) and potentiometer
in the jetcal analyzer. (Tabbing
procedures are those procedures
followed when adjusting fixed
exhaust nozzle exit areas.)
·
Check
aircraft
fire
detector,
overheat detector, and wing anti-
icing systems by using tempcal
probes.
WARNING
Drycleaning solvent is flammable
and solvent vapors are toxic. Use
P-D-680, Type II Solvent in a well-
ventilated area. Keep away from
open flames. Avoid prolonged
solvent contact with skin.
(2) Cleaning. Clean jetcal tester with a cloth
moistened in drycleaning solvent, Federal Specification
P-D-680, Type II, and wipe dry with a dean cloth.
(3) Operating procedures. Refer to step-by-
step procedures on the instruction plate of the jetcal
tester.
(4) Safety practices. Observe the following
safety practices while operating the jetcal analyzer:
·
Never use a volt-ohmmeter to
check
the
potentiometer
for
continuity. If a volt-ohmmeter is
used,
damage
to
the
galvanometer
and
standard
battery cell will result.
·
Check the thermocouple harness
before engine runup. This must
be done because the circuit must
be
correct
before
the
thermocouples can be used for
true EGT pick up.
·
For safety, ground the jetcal
analyzer when using an ac power
supply. Any electrical equipment
operated
on
ac
power
and
utilizing wire-wound coils such as
the
probes
with
the
jetcal
analyzer, has an induced voltage
on
the
case
that
can
be
discharged if the equipment is not
grounded. This condition is not
apparent during dry weather, but
on damp days the operator can
be shocked slightly. Therefore,
for protection of the operator, the
jetcal
analyzer
should
be
grounded using the pigtail lead in
the
power
inlet
cable.
