At installation of a performance panel on the
vertical tape indicator assembly, the three slide switches
on the indicator must be correctly positioned. Typical
uses of the scales on a panel are explained in the
following text:
(1)
Horsepower - Hp scale
Example:
A T53-L-13 engine is being tested at military
power at an ambient temperature of BOF.
To determine if the engine is delivering
sufficient horsepower, observe the HP
scale, locate the MIL column, then observe
the 80 graduation in this column. The
indicator tape must be at or above the
temperature graduation 80 on the panel. A
lower tape position indicates a loss of
horsepower.
(2)
Fuel Flow - WF scale
Example:
The engine is being operated at 75% power
at an ambient temperature of 40F. To
determine if fuel consumption is within
specified limits, observe the WF scale,
locate the 75% column, then observe the 40
graduation in this column. The indicator
tape must be at or below the 40 graduation
on the panel. A higher reading indicates
excessive fuel consumption.
(3)
NI Speed - N1% scale
Example:
This scale on the panel has three columns:
BLEED, MAX NI, and IGV. The BLEED
column displays the range during which
bleed band closure should occur. MAX NI provides the
maximum operating limits for ambient temperature
ranges from
°
to 100
°F. The IGV column is graduated
to indicate the NI speed at which the inlet guide vanes
should open on increasing speed.
(4)
Nil Speed - N2% scale
Example:
An engine is being tested at military power
at an ambient temperature of 75 °F. To
determine
if
performance
is
within
acceptable limits, observe the MIL column,
estimate
the
75-degree
position
(approximately half way between the 45 and
100 graduations), and note the position of
the indicator tape which should be at or
below the estimated position. The OSG
LIMIT column on this scale provides band
for two fuel flows, LO and HI, at which the
Nil speed should be limited by the fuel
control overspeed governor.
(5)
Torque - TORQUE scale
Example:.
Provides display of engine output shaft
maximum torque limits for different periods
of time.
(6)
Exhaust Gas Temperature - Tt9 scale
Example:.
Provides operating temperature limits at
different power settings as affected by
ambient temperature. The scale indication
should be at or below the limit graduations.
(7)
Pressure - Pofo, P2brg, Pogb, and PFM
scales
Example:
These
scales
provide
graduations
for
minimum and maximum ranges for the
applicable pressures being monitored.

Use of Data Selector Assembly 1A2.
The diagnostic sub-module contains the data selector
assembly 1A2 (7, figure 1-22) used during selection of
parameter readout during test of an engine. The data
selector assembly is used in conjunction with the digital
readout card (3, figure 7-2), contained in the card holder
inside the control cab module. During test of an engine,
certain
temperature,
torque,
and
pressure
test
parameters are monitored by the use of the information
provided on the digital readout card, combined with
