Proximity sensors are vital part for aircraft systems, specialy for indication, because proxi sensors are resposnible for telling aircraft systems position of components.
Description:
The proximity sensor is an electronic position indicator. The main components of the sensor are a sensor body, a sensor coil and an electrical connector. The sensor has a related target.
The sensor body contains the sensor coil. The coil is connected to the electrical connector.
Each proximity detection circuit contains:
- a proximity sensor
- a sensor target
- a channel of a proximity-sensor electronics card.
The proximity-sensor electronics-card has 14 channels and is located in the LGCIU.
Operation
The proximity sensor continuously transmits an electrical signal to the proximity-sensor electronics-card. As the target moves into or out of the proximity-sensor's actuation area it causes a change in the proximity sensor's electrical property. The electrical signal to the proximity sensor electronics card also changes. The proximity-sensor electronics-card converts these electrical signal changes into user status signals. The LGCIU control logic modules use these user status signals to control the extension and retraction of the L/G.
In today's video we will take look how to replace it.
