1 OVERVIEW
The information in this manual is subject to change without notification.

1.1 SCOPE
This manual is intended to determine a proper installation of the AIS-380 DC FUEL FLOW ADAPTER
(DCFF). Installation instructions should be read and followed.

1.2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION


The DCFF is a product designed to provide fuel flow on a digital output bus to a display or GPS receiver
that can receive ARINC 429 or RS-232. The DCFF receives a DC analog signal from a fuel transducer or
equivalent, ARINC 429 air data, and ARINC 429 heading. The DCFF combines this data and re-transmits
on an ARINC 429 or RS-232 serial output bus.

The ARINC 429 speed, K-Factor, single/twin engine selection, fuel density, and serial output formats are
configurable using the PC based configuration tool referenced later in this installation manual.

Figure 1 : AIS-380 DC Fuel Flow Adapter Overview

The features which are applicable to all standard installations are listed below:
• Two +12 VDC power supplies are available for powering fuel flow transducers
• ARINC 429 inputs are forwarded to the ARINC 429 outputs
• ARINC 429 speed (high or low) is configurable. Each ARINC 429 channel input and output
speed is matched when configured, e.g. ARINC 429 channel 1 input channel set for high speed
results in ARINC 429 channel 1 output set for high speed
• Fuel Flow labels 244 (Total Fuel Flow) and 347 (Left and Right Independent Fuel Flow based on
SDI) are generated and output at an 8 Hz rate when configured for normal fuel flow format

Labels 244 and 347 are the labels generated by the DCFF and are shown in bold at the output of
Channel 1 and 2. All of the data listed in the ARINC 429 Output column in Table 1 above is sent out on
SERIAL 2 in RS-232 format.
Label 347 - The DCFF converts the fuel flow from gallons/hr to lbs/hr to be transmitted on label 347.
Label 347 provides fuel flow per engine by using the SDI bits to indicate which engine, and
sending each engine’s data in a round robin fashion. SDI bits 10,9 = 0,1 (Left), 1,0 (Right).
Transmit interval = 125 msec, for an effective transmit interval of 250 msec per engine. The
data format is as follows:
Bits 12345678 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32

Label 244 - The DCFF outputs Total Fuel Flow Rate on label 244 also in lbs/hr. Label 244 provides total
fuel flow. Transmit interval = 125 msec. The data format is as follows:

2.4.3 AIR DATA AND HEADING CONVERSION (OPTIONAL)


See Figure 2 below
Inputs: The Air Data and Heading sources provide data to the DCFF via ARINC 429 inputs. ARINC 429
Channel 1 accepts Altitude, Airspeed, and OAT ARINC 429 labels. ARINC 429 Channel 2 accepts
the Mag Heading ARINC 429 label. See Table 1 above for specific ARINC 429 labels used.
Output: The DCFF transmits the data along with fuel flow data to the GPS via the RS-232 port, Channel
2. The RS-232 serial format is programmed using the Maintenance Interface. The available
formats are listed in Table 4 below in Section 5.1.2.

3 INSTALLATION

3.1 LIMITATIONS
The conditions and tests required for TSO approval of this article are minimum performance standards. It
is the responsibility of those installing this article either on or within a specific type or class of aircraft to
determine that the aircraft installation conditions are within the TSO standards. TSO articles must have
separate approval for installation in an aircraft. The article may be installed only if performed under 14
CFR part 43 or the applicable airworthiness requirements.
This equipment is developed to Design Assurance Level (DAL C). TSO-C44c lists the loss of fuel flow
functionality to be Hazardous. It is the responsibility of those installing this article to determine if it meets
the needs set forth in the System Safety Assessment.

3.2 INCOMPLETE SYSTEM


Shadin Avionics manufactures the DCFF as an incomplete system under TSO-C44c, Fuel Flowmeters
and performs to the relevant performance standards of AS407C, Fuel Flowmeters as tested by
RTCA/DO-160F, Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment.
This DCFF is compatible with any flow signal whose output is a DC analog voltage in the range of 0 to
+10VDC. Installation Drawing D833811-30, included in Appendix A of this manual, provides connector J1
pin out information for proper wiring.
The DCFF provides data conversion for display. The installer must substantiate the interoperability when
showing compliance to the applicable airworthiness.

3.2.1 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS


The DCFF meets the performance standards of AS407C paragraph 3.3 for Environmental Conditions, 4.5
for Power Variations, as defined in section 4 of this document in the Environmental Qualification Form
(EQF) for an incomplete system to the fuel flowmeter. Scale errors are within 0.5% in accordance with
paragraph 6.1 of AS407C.

3.3 MOUNTING
The DCFF (P/N 833811-30) can be mounted in any orientation in the aircraft. The hardware should be
mounted using four (4) number 8 size screws in a dry location. The equipment should be installed in a
controlled temperature and pressurized location.

Aircraft power +28 VDC can be connected to both pins 2 and 17 for redundancy as shown in Figure 3.
Alternatively, the unit can be powered only through pin 2, or only through pin 17. The same applies to the
return lines: Pins 1 and 16 can both routed to the aircraft 28 V return, or return can be connected to
either pin 1 or pin 16.
Pin 37 is tied directly to the DCFF chassis. After the DCFF is mounted to the airframe, this pin is
equivalent to airframe ground and can be used as a connection to cable shields in the connector
backshell.

4 ENVIRONMENTAL QUALIFICATION FORM (EQF)


The Shadin Qualification Testing Report (QTR), SD-170073, provides details of the qualification of the DCFF.
The DCFF is similar to the 833811-00/833811-01/833812-10/833820 products, with the addition of a
mezzanine CCA accepting analog inputs on formerly unused pins. The QTR addresses the similarity of the
DCFF to the previously qualified products for environments which are equivalent between DO-160G and DO-
160F. In areas where the addition of the new analog mezzanine CCA could have an impact, a retest to the
DO-160G levels was performed.
