     (b) Put a CAP - BLANKING on the coupling nut (1).
     (c) Connect the LOCALLY MANUFACTURED - ADAPTER together with the GAGE 0,1 BAR (1,45 PSI) - PRESSURE, DIGITAL to the line end of the ACT cavity drain (2).
NOTE: The pressure gage must have a fine scale with steps of 0.01 bar (0.15 psi).
     (d) Connect a regulated AIR SOURCE 0.3 TO 0.7 BAR (5 TO 10 PSI)- FILTERED, DRY with a shut off valves to the coupling adapter of the PRESSURE GAGE DIGITAL 0.1 BAR (1.45 PSI).

WARNING: WHEN YOU USE COMPRESSED AIR:
  • USE THE CORRECT PROTECTION (FACE SHIELD OR GOGGLES)
  • DO NOT POINT THE AIRFLOW AT YOURSELF OR OTHER PERSONS.
LOOSE PARTICLES AND/OR HIGH PRESSURE AIR CAN CAUSE INJURY.
B. Test
ACTION
RESULT
1.On the regulated air source:
  • make sure that the regulator of the air source is set to 0 bar (0 psi),
  • make sure that the air shut off valves of the air source are closed,
  • start the regulated air source,
  • carefully set the regulated air source to a maximum of 0.1 bar (1.45 psi), to get sufficient air flow for the test.
NOTE: Be careful when you pressurize the ACT cavity drain. The rubber bladder of the ACT can be damage, if the air pressure becomes too high and the inward relief-valve does not work as specified.

  • stop the pressurization each time after 10 seconds and start it again.
On the pressure gage at the ACT cavity drain:
  • the air pressure increases to 0.01 bar (0.15 psi),
  • the air pressure is stable at approximately 0.01 bar (0.15 psi).
NOTE: The Inward Relief Valve must open at approximately 0.01 bar (0.15 psi) to prevent damage on the Bladder Tank of the ACT.
2.On the regulated air source:
  • stop the regulated air source and open the air shut off valves of the air source.
On the pressure gage at the ACT cavity drain:
  • the air pressure decreases to 0 bar (0 psi).

   (2) In the aft cargo-compartment, on the actuator of the ACT2 vent-valve (4QH2):
     (a) Make sure that the visual indicator of the actuator is in the open position.
NOTE: The vent-valves of the ACT2 and ACT1 are open and closed at the same time.
