TM 1-1520-240-102-3-5Figure 2-3-4. ENGINE START PANEL 7122-3-15. START Panel. 712The START panel is located on the overhead switch pan-el (fig. 2-3-4). It consists of the ENG 1 and ENG 2 START-ER ON indicator lights and two start switches.a.Start Switches. The switches are labeled OFF,MTR, and START. They are locked in OFF, detented inMTR and spring-loaded from START to MTR. At MTR,the engine is rotated by the starter, but ignition and startfuel circuits are deenergized. At START, the engine isrotated with start fuel and the ignition circuits are energi-zed. MTR is selected during starting, in case of enginefire or to clear the combustion chamber.b.STARTER ON Indicator Lights. The STARTERON indicator lights will illuminate when the associatedSTART switch is moved to MTR or START. The lightalerts the pilots when the START switch is inadvertentlyleft at MTR. Power is supplied by the No. 1 and No. 2 DCessential buses through the ENGINE NO. 1 and NO. 2START & TEMP circuit breakers on the No. 1 and No. 2PDP.2-3-16. Ignition Lock Switch.An ignition system lock switch (11, fig. 2-1-3) is installedon the right side of the console forward of the thrust lever.The key-operated switch prevents unauthorized use ofthe helicopter. When the switch is off, the circuits of theignition exciters and the start fuel solenoids of both en-gines are open. Therefore, the engines cannot be star-ted. Be sure both START switches are OFF before turn-ing the ignition lock switch ON or OFF.2-3-17. Engine Instruments and Cautions.The engine instruments are the gas producer tachome-ter, the dual torquemeter, power turbine inlet tempera-ture (PTIT), fuel flow, oil pressure and oil temperatureindicators. The caution capsules are the NO. 1 and NO.2 ENGINE OIL LOW and the NO. 1 and NO. 2 ENG CHIPDET.2-3-18. Gas Producer Tachometer. Two gas producer tachometers (N1), one for each en-gine, are on the center instrument panel (6, fig. 2-1-8 and6, 2-1-12), above the PTIT indicators. Each tachometerdisplays gas producer turbine speed in percent of N1.Each tachometer operates from power supplied by a gasproducer tachometer generator on the accessory gearbox section of each engine. 712 The outer scale of thetachometer is calibrated from 0 to 100 in increments oftwo. The smaller, vernier scale is calibrated from 0to 10,in increments of one. 714A The tachometer is calibratedfrom 0 to 110.2-3-19. Torquemeter.One torquemeter is on the copilot instrument panel andthe other on the pilot instrument panel (1, fig. 2-1-7 and17, fig. 2-1-9). Each torquemeter has two pointers, onefor each engine, labeled 1 and 2. Each torquemeter hasa range of 0 to 150 percent. The system consists of apower output shaft,torquemeter head assembly, powersupply unit, 714A ratio detector power supply unit(RDPS), and a torquemeter junction box. Power to oper-ate the torquemeter is provided by No. 1 and No. 2 ACbuses through the ENGINE NO. 1 and NO. 2 TORQUEcircuit breakers on theNo.1 and No. 2 PDP. Power forthe power supply unit 714A and RDPS is provided bythe No. 1 and No. 2 DC buses through the DC ENGINENO. 1 and NO. 2 TORQUE circuit breakers on the No. 1and No. 2 PDP.2-3-20. Power Turbine Inlet Temperature Indica-tors.Two power turbine inlet temperature (PTIT) indicators,one for each engine, are on the center instrument panel(7, fig. 2-1-8, 7, fig. 2-1-12). Each indicator is calibratedfrom 0_to 1,200_C. The temperatures registered on thePTIT indicator are transmitted by chromel-alumel ther-mocouples. the thermocouples sense gas temperatureat the power turbine inlet and transmit an average gastemperature reading to the PTIT indicator in the cockpit.712 When power turbine inlet temperature increases tothe emergency power range, the EMERG PWR indicatorlight will illuminate and DC power is supplied to theEMERGENCY POWER panel. 714A When power turb-ine inlet temperature increases to the contingency powerrange, the ENG CONT PWR master caution advisorypanel capsule will illuminate.2-3-21. Engine Oil Pressure Indicator.An engine oil pressure indicator on the center instrumentpanel is provided for each engine (17, fig. 2-1-8 and2-1-12). Each indicator relates pressure sensed at No. 2bearing by an oil pressure transmitter mounted near theengine. Each engine oil pressure indicator displays apressure range from 0 to 200 psi. Power to operate theengine oil pressure circuit is supplied by the AC instru-ment buses through the ENGINE NO. 1 and NO. 2 OILPRESS circuit breakers on the No. 1 and No. 2 PDP.2-3-22. Engine Oil Temperature Indicator. Two engine oil temperature indicators are on the centerthe instrument panel (18, fig. 2-1-8 and 2-1-12). Eachengine oil temperature indicator is calibrated from -70_to +150_C. A temperature probe within the lubricationlines of the engine, before the fuel-oil cooler, is the pointat which the temperature is sensed. Power to operate theresistance-type oil temperature circuit is supplied by theNo. 1 and No. 2 DC buses through the ENGINE NO. 1
