TM 1-1520-240-102-3-3712 Power to operate the beep trim system is suppliedby the DC and AC buses. DC power to operate a trimmotor in the power turbine control box, which unbalancesa control circuit, is supplied by the corresponding No. 1or No. 2 DC buses through the ENGINE NO. 1 or NO. 2TRIM circuit breakers on the No. 1 or No. 2 PDP. Theunbalanced control circuit causes the AC power from theNo. 1 or No. 2 AC buses through the ENGINE NO. 1 orNO. 2 TRIM & TIMER circuit breakers on the No. 1 or No.2 PDP to be transformed and rectified to DC voltage. ThisDC power operates the power turbine actuator on theengine fuel control.NOTENo two engines provide matched perfor-mance with regard to torque, RPM, PTIT, orfuel flow. With torque matched all other pa-rameters may not be matched.712 Holding the No. 1 & 2 switch forward (RPM IN-CREASE) will increase the RRPM. Holding the switch aft(RPM DECREASE) will decrease the RRPM. When theswitch is released, it returns to the center or neutral posi-tion. The switch electrically controls both power turbinesby movement of the N2 actuator through each enginepower turbine control box.The procedure for matching engine load requires thatNO. 1 & 2 engine beep switch be used in conjunction withNO. 1 engine beep switch. When NO. 1 engine beepswitch is moved forward (RPM INCREASE), the torqueof No. 1 engine increases. At the same time RRPM in-creases, even though No. 2 engine torque decreasesslightly. Moving NO. 1 & 2 engine beep trim switch aft(RPM DECREASE) causes both engine torques to de-crease and reduce RRPM. If torques are still notmatched, this procedure is continued until torques arematched and desired RRPM is attained. The oppositeaction occurs when NO. 1 engine beep switch is movedaft.The engine beep trim switches should not be used duringpower changes initiated by thrust lever movement be-cause RRPM droop should only be momentary. The en-gine beep trim system adjusts engine RPM only if therespective ENG COND lever is at FLT. At STOP or GND,it is possible to move the power turbine lever by movingthe engine beep trim switches to RPM DECREASE orRPM INCREASE, but in either case, engine RPM will notbe affected because the engine is not operating in the N2governing range.2-3-10. EMERG ENG TRIM Panel 712The EMERG ENG TRIM (emergency engine) panel islocated on the center console (fig, 2-3-2). The panel con-sists of two guarded normal engine trim system disabledswitches and two momentary emergency engine trimswitches.a.Normal Engine Trim System DisableSwitches. The guarded switches permit the pilot to dis-able either or both normal beep trim systems. This pre-vents unwanted signals from the normal beep trim sys-tem to interfere with the operation of the emergencyengine trim system. Each switch is labeled AUTO andMANUAL. When either switch is at MANUAL, the respec-tive normal beep trim system is disabled (115-volt ACfrom AC bus to the engine power turbine control box isinterrupted). When the switch is at AUTO (cover down),the normal beep trim system is functional (115-volt ACfrom the AC bus is reconnected to the associated enginepower turbine control box). Refer to Chapter 9 for emer-gency engine trim operation.CAUTIONEngine response is much faster whenRRPM is controlled with emergency en-gine beep trim system. It is possible tobeep the rotor speed below safe operatingspeed and low enough to disconnect thegenerators from the buses. The genera-tors are disconnected at 85% to 82%RRPM after a 3 to 7 second time delay.b.Emergency Engine Trim Switches. Each mo-mentary switch is used to change the power turbinespeed of its respective engine if the power turbine controlbox (normal beep trim system) malfunction.When the normal trim system fails, the droop eliminatoralso fails to function. Both switches have an INC, DECR,and spring-loaded center position. When one of theswitches is held at INC, power from the essential DC busgoes directly to the respective power turbine actuatorand increases the lever setting and the power turbinespeed. When the switch is held at DECR, the lever set-ting is decreased, and the power turbine speed is de-creased.The emergency engine trim switches are to be usedwhen the normal beep trim system is disabled. If one ofthe switches is used while the respective power turbinecontrol box is functioning normally, the power turbineactuator setting will temporarily change but will return toits original setting when the switch is released. Power tooperate the emergency engine beep trim switches andactuators is supplied by the essential DC bus through theNO. 1 and NO. 2 EMERG ENG TRIM circuit breakers onthe No. 1 and No. 2 PDP.
