Detailed Description of Important Instrument

Directional Gyroscope:
This unit supplies vehicles heading signal. The gyro rotor is spherical in
shape and supported in the inner gimbal ring, which fitted with osing the Gyro
motor. Gyro motor is three ± phase induction motor driven at 24000 rpm.
Static Inverter:
It converts 28 V DC in to 115 V A.C., 400 Hz, single ± phase output, 28 V
D.C. input coming from JBV is to feed through the RI filter to the control card
via one pole of the protective relay. Control card generates the oscillation with
frequency of 400 Hz. This signal is preamplified at a frequency of 400 Hz. This
signal is preamplified in Base drive card. The output of the power transistor
fixed on the chassis for power amplification. This gives 115 single ± phase A.C.
output.
Signal proportional to the output is fed to the protection card. The
protection card senses under voltage (D.C.), over voltage (A.C.) and overload.
If any of the above parameters goes beyond the specified limit it de-energizes
the protective relay cutting off supply to the base drive.
Land Navigation Computer:
It consists of eight subassemblies. 115 V A.C. is stepped down in
transformer base plate assembly and is fed to power supply card. Tuned A.C.
supply is given to base unit to generate A.C. signal for providing slow signal to
gyro through ven to generate resolved in sinA /cosA output signals.
28 V D.C. supply is given to power supply card to generate various D.C.
supplies required for PCB¶s given from CCU and processed with feedback from
the Tacho ± generator of the Heading Indicator. The resultant servo signal is fed
to the Heading indicator, which indicates the vehicle ± heading angle.
Vehicle speed input signal is processed in the analog card with resolved
SinA CosA and RK signal to give incremental Easting and Northings distance
pulses CPE and CPN. These signals are divided by 10 in Digital card and sent
to heading indicator to have a selected clock pulse, which is again fed to Digital
card. Analog card generates the direction signals S/N and W/E, which are fed to
Digital card.
Depending upon the thumbwheel switch set (destination) position and the
displayed (present), the digital cards give the signals proportional to the
difference (H-P) E and (H-P) N. These signals proportional to the difference
(H-P) E and (H-P) N. These signals are sent to bearing card to generate E, N
output signals for bearing synchro to indicate bearing angle in the heading
indicator. To give approach indication the difference signals are processed and
output controls display blipping and bearing pointer notation for 1.2 km and
200 m range respectively.

H.A.L. accessory division , Luknow is divided into three main factories namely
1. Mechanical Factory
2. Instrument Factory
3. Fuel Factory

 

This factory deals with the testing and assembly of electronics instruments
used in aircraft e.g. Altimeter,RMI, Gyro-magnetics compass , black box etc.
This INSTRUMENT FACTORY is further divided into four units which are as
follows:
' CLEAN ROOMSc
' ASSEMBLY AND TEST SHOP 2 & 3c
' ELECTRO ROTATING MACHINESc
' GROUND LAND NAVIGATION SYSTEM SHOP (G.L.N.S Shop)c
l  
In Clean room those subunits are assembled and tested that are sensitive to
dust, temperature and humidity. All these parameters are kept under control
because these can have adverse effect on their functional efficiency.
The required specification for the instruments assembled and tested
aredifferent .so Clean room is further subdivided into three units. The
followingchart is given for the classification of clean room.
