T.O. GR1F16CJ1 182 Under extremely humid conditions or after initial engine start, fog may form at the cockpit air outlets as the cold air mixes with the moist cockpit atmosphere. This condition can be eliminated by selecting MAN and moving the TEMP knob toward WARM until the fog stops forming. In flight, while operating in AUTO, the most rapid method of eliminating air outlet fogging is by selecting the MAX position with the DEFOG lever. Fog may form on the interior surface of the canopy as a result of moisture in the cockpit air condensing on the cold surface. To warm the canopy surface above the dewpoint and permit the cockpit air to retain more moisture during cold weather operation, the DEFOG lever should be placed in a forward position and the TEMP knob positioned to MAN WARM. EQUIP HOT Caution Light The EQUIP HOT caution light, located on the caution light panel, illuminates when the avionic equipment cooling air temperature/pressure is insufficient. Degraded equipment performance and/or damage can result from overheating. Therefore, when the EQUIP HOT caution light illuminates, the electronic equipment should be turned off unless it is essential for flight. Illumination of the EQUIP HOT caution light automatically interrupts electrical power to the radar. Turning the radar to OFF in flight does not close the radar cooling air shutoff valve. A short duration or intermittent EQUIP HOT caution light may occur when ground cooling air is disconnected. Cockpit Pressure Altimeter C
DF The cockpit pressure altimeter, located on the right auxiliary console outboard of the stick, is labeled CABIN PRESS ALT. CABIN PRESS Caution Light The CABIN PRESS caution light, located on the caution light panel, illuminates when the cockpit pressure altitude is above 27,000 feet. ANTIG SYSTEM The antig system includes the ANTIG panel/valve, the gsuit, and PBG equipment. GR1F-16CJ-1-0033X37 1 1. DEFOG Lever Defog Control Panel (Typical) C DF Figure 128. The gsuit connector and TEST button are located on the ANTIG panel at the aft end of the left console. The ECS delivers cooled bleed air to the gsuit and to the oxygen regulator as a control pressure for PBG. Airflow is proportional to the positive g forces sensed. If an ECS shutdown occurs, gsuit and PBG protection are not available. The system can be manually tested by depressing the antig TEST button to inflate the gsuit and to check the PBG function. The system incorporates an automatic pressure relief valve. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Refer to figure 129. The electrical system consists of a main ac power system, a standby ac power system, an emergency ac power system, a dc power system, an FLCS power supply, and provisions for external ac power. MAIN AC POWER SYSTEM AC power is normally supplied by a 60 kva main generator located on and driven by the ADG. The main generator supplies power to the overcurrent sensing contactors and nonessential, essential, and emergency ac buses. |
