Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of equipment testing, and particularly relates to a novel testing device for an ELT control panel. Background Art

[0002] An Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT), also known as an emergency radio, is divided into two types: portable and airborne fixed. When an aircraft undergoes a severe impact or hits water, the ELT device can transmit an emergency signal, and the signal duration is generally not less than 24 hours. The satellite system of the International Satellite Search and Rescue Organization can receive the transmitted emergency signal.

[0003] Currently, before the ELT control panels installed on Boeing B737, B767 aircraft, G7116-01 and G7116-02 aircraft are installed at the factory, various signals output by them need to be ground-tested to ensure that the ELT control panel can operate normally in case of an emergency. The existing testing method is to use corresponding equipment to test when detecting what signals. For example, when detecting whether the 28V voltage input of the panel is normal, a multimeter is used to test the voltage amplitude and current magnitude. When detecting whether the output signal such as the MASTER CAUTION PULSE signal is normal, an oscilloscope is connected for testing. This increases the complexity of the test and is not convenient to use. In view of this, we propose a novel testing device for an ELT control panel. Summary of the Utility Model
