1.3.2

Functional description

OAT.2 unit converts RTD sensor signal to voltage level, suitable for processing in BSPI-4 Flight Data Acquisition Unit
from BUR-1 Flight Data Recorder System.
The unit consists of constant current source c. 1 mA and instrumentation amplifier, which converts input milivolt signal
to voltage range c. 5 V. RTD sensor is connected by four wires for elimination of attached conductors resistance. The unit
is also equipped with transient protection circuits as well as EMI filters.
The whole unit is powered by +5 V DC voltage from BSPI-4 unit.
OAT.2 schematic diagram is depicted in Figure 1.2.

2.3

PREINSTALLATION PROCEDURE

2.3.1

Test equipment requirements

For checkout of the product following items are neccessary :

- Test-OAT cable , Drawing No.: T-OAT-00KK
-

resistor 500 Ohm +/- 0,1%

DC power supply 5 V/ 0,1A (recommended type: Statron 2229.2);

digital multimeter (V1, V2);

2.3.2

Personnel qualification

Only a person skilled in electronic instruments handling is permited to perform functional test.

2.3.3 Functional test

1) Connect the product, resistor 500Ohm +/- 0,1% and power supply 5 V/0,1 A according to Figure 2.1.
2) Switch on power supply 5 V/0,1 A.
3) Read input voltage of the unit on V1 voltmeter.
4) Read output voltage of the unit on V2 voltmeter.
5) Calculate RTD excitation current:

IB = U1/500 Ohm.

6) Calculate gain of OAT.2 unit:

G = U2/U1.

The product is compliant when:

1) excitation current IB = 0,94 mA +/- 5%
2) gain G = 6.56 +/- 2%

NOTE
Unwanted reversing of power supply polarity doesn`t result in OAT.2 unit damage.
