1. General
Fluorescent lamps illuminate the passenger cabin and the entrance areas as listed below:
Fluorescent lamps give lighting to the passenger cabin and the entrance areas.
Cabin LED Units (CLEDUs) give lighting to the passenger cabin and the entrance areas.
Cabin LED Units and Mini cabin LED Units (CLEDUs/mCLEDUs) give lighting to the passenger cabin and entrance areas.
A. Passenger Cabin Lighting
F Entrance Lighting - Schematic ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

F Entrance Lighting - Schematic ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The passenger cabin is divided into different zones given by the customer seat layout.
Four strips of fluorescent lamps give light to the passenger cabin zones.
Each strip has many fluorescent lamps. The four strips in each cabin zone are divided into two pairs for control purposes. These are the inboard pair, CEILING lights, and the outboard pair, WINDOW lights. The two pairs of strips in each cabin zone can be set to three different brightness levels. These are:
  • Full brightness (BRT)
  • Half brightness (DIM 1)
  • 10 % of full brightness (DIM 2).
F Entrance Lighting - Schematic ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
These lighting systems are controlled through the Cabin Intercommunication Data-System (CIDS):
  • The cabin lighting
  • The entrance lighting.
The control buttons are installed on the Flight Attendant Panel (FAP) and on the Additional Attendant Panel (AAP). Each system is controlled independently by its related buttons.
Four lighting strips of CLEDUs give lighting to the passenger cabin zones. Each lighting strip has many CLEDUs. The four lighting strips in each cabin zone are divided into two pairs for control purposes. These are the inboard pair, CEILING lights, and the outboard pair, WINDOW lights. The two pairs of lighting strips in each cabin zone can be set to three different brightness levels. These are:
  • Full brightness (BRT)

B. Entrance Area Lighting
F Entrance Lighting - Schematic ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
F Entrance Lighting - Schematic ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
F Entrance Lighting - Schematic ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
Lights (CLEDUs or fluorescent lamps) installed in the ceiling panels illuminate the entrance areas.
It is possible to control these lights independently of the cabin lighting. These lights have three different intensities:
  • Full brightness (BRT)
  • Half brightness (DIM1)
  • 10% of full brightness (DIM2).
When the cockpit door opens while the engines are in operation, the LH forward entrance lighting automatically dims to 10% of full brightness (DIM2).
If there is a CIDS or FAP failure or if a cabin decompression occurs:
  • The forward entrance lights come on automatically at 100% intensity, or/and
  • The system cancels the preset mode.
C. Handrail Lighting
The light strips are installed on the left and right sides of the handrail in the OHSC. The main function of the handrail lighting is to give light to the seat-row number placard located on the handrail.

3. System Description
A. Cabin Illumination
The cabin lights have four lighting strips in the cabin zones. The four strips have two pairs of lighting strips. The two outboard strips are the WINDOW (WDO) lights and the two center strips are the CEILING (CLG) lights. You can set the lighting strips in each cabin zones to 100% (BRT), 50% (DIM1) or 10% (DIM2) intensity.
The strips are supplied with 115VAC from busbars 212XP and 214XP. Circuit breakers 300LG thru 307LG supply power to the cabin lighting and 308LG supplies power to the entrance lighting. FAP 120RH and AAP 126RH controls the lighting system. The lighting system contains the membrane switches that follow:
The cabin lights are divided in four lighting strips throughout the cabin zones. The units are supplied with 115VAC from busbars 212XP and 214XP through circuit breakers 300LG thru 307LG (cabin lighting) and 308LG (entrance lighting). The lighting system is controlled from FAP 120RH and AAP 126RH.
B. Handrail Lighting/Underbin Lighting
F Handrail LED-Strips - Schematic ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
F CIDS Data Converter ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The light strips are installed on the left and right sides of the handrail in the OHSC. The light strips are supplied with 28VDC from busbar 214XP through circuit breaker 312LG, data converters 581LG and 582LG and power supply unit 572LG. The power supply unit 572LG provides 115VAC to data converters. The data converters convert 115VAC to 28VDC for the operation of the light strips. The handrail lighting system is controlled from FAP 120RH.
C. Cabin Lighting Scenario
The Cabin Intercommunication Data System (CIDS) controls the lighting systems that follow:
  • The entrance lighting
  • The cabin lighting.

The six scenarios that follow give each cabin area its light intensity:
  • Board/Disemb
  • T-off/Land
  • Meal
  • Sleep
  • Wake up
  • Relax.
In each scenario, the light intensity can be divided into day mode or night mode. The control buttons are installed on the FAP and the AAP. The related buttons for each system control the systems independently. The FAP is connected to the CIDS directors. The AAP is connected to the Decoder/Encoder Unit (DEU), Type B. In each DEU, Type B is connected to the CIDS directors. The signals from the FAP and the AAP are controlled from the CIDS directors and transmitted to the DEU, Type A. In each DEU, Type A has its input address and controls the related CLEDUs/mCLEDUs.

4. Component Description
A. General Illumination
The ballast unit supplies power for one fluorescent lamp. Each unit supplies low voltage power for filament heating and high voltage power for lamp ignition. The unit contains a transformer, control electronics and two relays. The lamp lights with 100 % intensity (BRT), when the control unit receives no input signals. When a 28VDC signal is applied to pin D, the lamp lights with 50 % intensity. With a 28VDC signal at pin E, the lamp lights with 10 % intensity. When 28VDC is at pin F, the internal control relay is energized and the 115VAC for the transformer is disconnected. The fluorescent lamp goes off.
The Advanced Integrated Ballast-Units (AIBUs) give power for the fluorescent lamp(s). The AIBUs supply the lamps with low voltage power for the filament heating and the high voltage power for the lamp ignition. The AIBU has two Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). The power supply PCB contains the complete power supply and the control module. The amplifier PCB contains the complete power electronics and the choke.
When the cabin and entrance lighting is set to on:
  • The Decoder/Encoder Unit (DEU) A gives no input signals to the AIBU.
  • The fluorescent lamp is on with 100% intensity.
The AIBUs are made to give a continuous dimming from 100% to 0.5% light intensity.
Each Cabin LED Unit (CLEDU)/mini CLEDU (mCLEDU) has an integrated power-supply unit, which gives low voltage power to the LED board. The power supply contains the voltage converter and the control module.
There is a galvanic isolation between the high voltage supply and the low- voltage LED Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
The cabin and entrance lighting is set to on, when the Decoder/Encoder Unit (DEU) A gives no input signals to the CLEDU/mCLEDU. The CLEDU/mCLEDU is on with 100% intensity.
The CLEDUs/mCLEDUs are made to give a continuous dimming from 100% to 0.1% light intensity.
B. Stand Alone - Passenger Interface and Supply Adapter (StA-PISA)
The StA-PISA gives the digital interface between the CIDS (DEU A) and the specified cabin light devices, which are used for the pre-programmed lighting scenarios. The StA-PISA is a modular unit with PCBs.
C. CIDS Data Converter

The CIDS Data Converter:
  • Controls aircraft lighting from +28VDC input power
  • Each CIDS data converter has Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
  • Controls the color and intensity of the CLEDUs via CAN Bus
  • Several CIDS data converters are used in each aircraft zone.

5. Operation/Control and Indicating
Forward attendant panel 120RH and aft attendant panel 126RH are connected to Directors 101RH and 102RH of the Cabin Intercommunication Data System (CIDS).
The input signals from forward attendant panel 120RH and aft attendant panel 126RH are processed by the director and transmitted to the Decoder/Encoder Units (DEUs). The DEUs accept the input data and activate the output to the fluorescent lamps with ballast units in accordance with the code presented at the input. The DEU is capable of handling up to four fluorescent lamps with ballast units. Three signal lines connect each fluorescent lamp with ballast unit to the related DEU.
The truth table below shows the state of the fluorescent lamps when activated by the DEU output signal. The DEU output signal has two levels 0 (0VDC) and 1 (28VDC).
As can be seen in the truth table with no output signal from the associated DEU the fluorescent lamps will illuminate at full brightness.

The assignment of the fluorescent lamps with ballast units to cabin zones is programmed into the Cabin Assignment Module (CAM). The CAM is fitted in programming and test panel 110RH and preprogrammed for particular lighting requirements. Any new requirements can be programmed into the CAM.

FAP 120RH and AAP 126RH are connected to Directors 101RH and 102RH Cabin Intercommunication Data System (CIDS).
The input signals from FAP 120RH and AAP 126RH are processed by the director and transmitted to the DEUs. The DEU can control up to eight fluorescent lamps with ballast units. Two signal lines connect each fluorescent lamp with ballast unit to the related DEU. The DEUs receive the input data and give output through the two signal lines to the fluorescent lamps with ballast units.
The control of the fluorescent lamps with ballast units to the cabin zones is given in the Cabin Assignment Module (CAM). The CAM is installed in FAP 120RH and pre-set for the applicable lighting. All changes can be made in the CAM.

The entrance lighting has the fluorescent lamps with the ballast units or the CLEDUs installed in the ceiling panels at the forward and aft entrances. Two fluorescent lamps or CLEDUs are installed in the LH and RH ceiling panels at each entrance. The operation is the same as the cabin lighting.
(1) When the engines are in operation and you open the cockpit door:
  • The entrance lighting at entrance 1 LH will automatically decrease to DIM2 level (10%).
(2) CIDS directors 101RH and 102RH receive one signal from the engine oil-pressure system and another signal from the cockpit door microswitch.
Directors 101RH and 102RH transmit their output signal to the DEU.
The DEU controls the entrance 1 LH lights.
The DEU gives a DIM2 signal and the light decreases to 10% intensity.
