HELICOPTER ENGINES.

3. PROCEDURE

A. Preliminary operations

Not applicable

B. Preparation

Refer to Figure 1301

(1) Install the accelerometer (OT 40 0140) on the accelerometer support with the three HSHC
screws M4X12 (OT 40 0020) (C). Make sure that you correctly point the accelerometer.
Refer to Task 71-02-10-940-801.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE TIGHTENING TORQUE OF THE SCREWS IS

CORRECT TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE ACCELEROMETER (TIGHTEN
WITH YOUR HAND IF NECESSARY).

(2) Torque the three HSHC screws M4X12 (OT 40 0020) (C) to a value from 0.7 to 1.1 N.m.

(3) Connect the accelerometer (OT 40 0140) to the vibration meter (OT 40 0020) (A) with the
B&K WLO748 cable (OT 40 0020) (F).
(4) Lightly tighten the connector of the B&K WLO748 cable (OT 40 0020) (F) to the
accelerometer (OT 40 0140) with combination pliers.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE CABLE

AND THE HELICOPTER CONTROLS.

(5) Do the routing of the B&K WLO748 cable (OT 40 0020) (F) up to the cabin (but not on
the hot parts of the engine). Attach the cable in different locations with adhesive tape,
“aluminium” type and plastic clamps, "TY-RAP" type.

C. Vibration measurement

Refer to Figure 1301, Figure 1302

(1) Enter the metadata.
(2) Start the engine and increase up to ground idle. Stay at a stabilized rating until you get an
oil temperature higher than 50°C (122°F).
(3) Stop the engine.
(4) Set the vibration meter (OT 40 0020) (A) to on as follows:

ARRIEL 2 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Maintenance Level: 1

(a) Set the vibration meter (OT 40 0020) (A) to position 1 (with record of the maximum
peak).
(b) Push the "On/Off" button to energize the vibration meter (OT 40 0020) (A).
(c) Push the "Reset" button.

CAUTION: DO NOT MEASURE THE VIBRATIONS BETWEEN 3 AND 20 MINUTES

AFTER THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN. THIS IS TO PREVENT A THERMAL
UNBALANCE THAT CAN MAKE THE VIBRATION MEASUREMENT
INCORRECT.

(5) Start the engine and increase up to flight idle.

NOTE: The N1/NG value that you get changes with the outdoor conditions (T0, P0).
(6) Record the maximum value recorded by the vibration meter (OT 40 0020) (A) during the
acceleration from start to flight idle.
(7) Stop the engine.
(8) Push the "Reset" button of the vibration meter (OT 40 0020) (A).

NOTE: The vibration meter operates for approx. two minutes as you push the
RESET pushbutton. Then it stops automatically. To start it again, press the
"On-Off" pushbutton. This function is cancelled when you connect a JACK
plug to the side connector of the vibration meter.
(9) Interpretation of the vibration test.
The acceptance criteria are given in Task 71-02-10-940-801 / Vibration test procedure -
General.

NOTE: These criteria can change after statistical studies of the signatures of the
new or repaired engines.
(a) If the maximum vibration level of the engine (displayed on the tool screen) is less than
the tolerance:

– keep the engine in service.

(b) If the maximum vibration level of the engine (displayed on the tool screen) is more
than or equal to the tolerance:

– do a confirmation measurement.
(10) Confirmation measurement.
This measurement is used to confirm the out-of-limit level recorded during the first test.

NOTE: You must do this second test immediately after the first one, on a hot
engine.
(a) Make sure that:

1 The HSHC screws M4X12 (OT 40 0020) (C) of the accelerometer (OT 40 0140)
are not loose.
2 The connector of the B&K WLO748 cable (OT 40 0020) (F), on the
accelerometer (OT 40 0140) side, is not loose.
(b) Set the vibration meter (OT 40 0020) (A) to on as follows:

ARRIEL 2 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Maintenance Level: 1

1 Set the vibration meter (OT 40 0020) (A) to position 2 (instant reading).
2 Push the "On/Off" button to energize the vibration meter (OT 40 0020) (A), if the
tool is in stand-by mode.
3 Push the "Reset" button.
(c) Start the engine and increase up to flight idle.

NOTE: The N1/NG value that you get changes with the outdoor conditions (T0,
P0).
(d) Record the maximum instantaneous value recorded by the vibration meter
(OT 40 0020) (A) and the related N1/NG value (in %) in the confirmation recording
table.
Refer to Figure 1302
(e) Stop the engine.
(f) Push the "Reset" button of the vibration meter (OT 40 0020) (A).
(11) Interpretation of the confirmation measurement.
The acceptance criteria are given in Task 71-02-10-940-801 / Vibration test procedure -
General.

NOTE: These criteria can change after statistical studies of the signatures of the
new or repaired engines.
(a) If the maximum vibration level of the engine (displayed on the tool screen) is less than
the tolerance:

– keep the engine in service.

(b) If the maximum vibration level of the engine (displayed on the tool screen) is more
than or equal to the tolerance:

– send the vibration data to the Safran Helicopter Engines support department.
– do the maintenance procedure ( Refer to Figure 1303).
(12) Final steps.

(a) Push the "On/Off" button of the vibration meter (OT 40 0020) (A) to de-energize it.
(b) Disconnect and remove the B&K WLO748 cable (OT 40 0020) (F) from the vibration
meter (OT 40 0020) (A).
(c) Remove and discard the adhesive tape, “aluminium” type and the plastic clamps, "TY-
RAP" type that hold the B&K WLO748 cable (OT 40 0020) (F) on the aircraft airframe.
(d) Disconnect and remove the B&K WLO748 cable (OT 40 0020) (F) from the
accelerometer (OT 40 0140).
(e) Remove the three HSHC screws M4X12 (OT 40 0020) (C), and then remove the
accelerometer (OT 40 0140) from the accelerometer support.
(f) Put the removed equipment items in their packages.
