18.1 - HEATED WINDSCREENS

18.1.1. DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS

The pilot’s windscreen panel (1) and the copilot’s wind-
screen panel (2) are equipped with an electrically heated
grid that prevents formation of ice and mist. Each panel
assembly comprises two specially treated heat-resistant
glass panes (5) and (6) bonded to a transparent plastic
layer (4). A heating grid (3) and two temperature sensors
(S1) and S2) are embedded between the glass panes.
Only one of the sensors is operational.
The second is unconnected but available for quick con-
nection in the event of a malfunction affecting the first
sensor.
Each heating grid is connected to a regulator and trans-
fer printed circuit board that controls switching of the
power supply relays according to the temperature de-
tected by the windscreen sensor.
In the event of a sensor failure, the grid is supplied and
regulated by the circuit board of the other grid (transfer
function).
The system includes a self-test switch.
NOTE : The aircraft may also be equipped with a heated
center windscreen panel as optional equipment.

18.1.2. HEATED WINDSCREEN OPERATION

( 1 ) Normal Operation : Regulation

The control relay (2HK1), supplied via the «work» con-
tacts of transfer relay (K4) and regulator relay (K3) is
energized making the power supply circuit to heating grid.
The regulator board logic circuits monitor the tempera-
ture of each windscreen separately.
• Temperature Rise (T > 30°C)
The resistance increases across sensor (S1) ; the regu-
lator logic circuit deenergizes relay (K3) which switches
off. Control relay (2HK1) is no longer energized and
breaks the heating grid supply circuit.
• Temperature Drop (T < 25°C)
The resistance decreases across sensor (S1) ; the regu-
lator logic circuit energizes relay (K3) which switches on.
Relay (2HK1) is energized and the grid circuit is sup-
plied.

18.1.2. HEATED WINDSCREEN OPERATION (Cont’d)

( 2 ) Abnormal Operation : Safety and Transfer

NOTE : The figure shows a malfunction in the RH heated
windscreen circuit.
In the event of a fault in the logic circuit, the regulator
circuit or the temperature sensing circuit (S1), the safety
and transfer logic circuit outputs a signal that deenergizes
relays (K4-K5) preventing control relay (2HK2) from be-
ing energized via relay (K3).
Relay (2HK2) is then energized via the «rest» contacts
of relay (K4), and the RH windscreen heating grid is con-
trolled by the other regulator logic circuit.
The "FAIL" and "WSCRN" lights are illuminated : both
lights go out when switch is selected "OFF".
NOTE : Transfer is also achieved when either board is
not supplied (lack of power supply or switch 1HK1-1HK2
"OFF").

18.2 - WINDSCREEN WIPERS

The windscreen wipers sweep both forward windscreens 18.2.1. OPERATION

to improve visibility in the rain. The wiper arms (9) are
driven by an electric motor (5) through two gearboxes
(8) which convert the rotating motion of the motor into
reciprocating motion using a rod-and-crank system.
The wipers can be operated intermittently, or at continu-
ous low and high speeds.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Wiper speed SLOW : ......... 140 full cycles per minute
FAST : ............ 175 full cycles per minute
- Wiper sweep angle : ............................................ 53°
( 1 ) MANUAL (Intermittent) Low-Speed Operation
With selector (1) set to "MAN", the "manual control" stage
of logic circuit (L1) is activated. Pressing either push-
button (2) or (3) activates the "manual control" stage of
logic circuit (L2), switching on the windscreen wiper motor
(M) at low speed via resistor (10).
The motor operates as long as push-button (2) or (3) is
held depressed.
The windscreen wiper shut-off function is discussed be-
low.

18.2.1. OPERATION (Cont’d)

( 4 ) Automatic Shut-off

When the windscreen wipers are operating, pressing ei-
ther push-button (2) or (3) causes the flip-flop (JK) to
change state.
Flip-flop (JK) switches to position Q’, closing the electri-
cal limit switch (F2) and actuating the delay circuit (4).
The delay circuit keeps the motor supplied for 10 sec-
onds via control logic circuit (L2).
The cam (C) causes the wiper blades to stop in a prede-
termined position with the wiper arm parallel to the canopy
post. One rotation of the cam corresponds to one
complete cycle of the wiper blades ; cam (C) closes the
mechanical limit switch (F1) and grounds the motor
winding (6) when the wiper arm reaches its shut-off posi-
tion.
