Weight Configuration (Menu Mode) [CFML]


TASK 73-29-00-710-804-A
Weight Configuration (Menu Mode)


ZONE: 400
1. Reason for the Job
The weight configuration and entry functions in the menu mode provides the operator with the existing fan balance trim weight configuration and allows the operator to change the weight configuration stored in the EEC NVM. The weight configuration entry only needs to be performed on one EEC channel. The configuration will automatically be saved to the other EEC channel. The trim weights are used for engine balancing to reduce flight deck indicated engine vibration, airplane cabin noise and vibration due to the fan rotor unbalance.
NOTE: Refer to Task 71-00-00-750-804 Fan Trim Balance for information.

  • Release the FADEC GND PWR 1(2) pushbutton switch (the ON legend comes on).
   (2) After the FADEC is energized, wait ten seconds before you start the test. If you do not wait ten seconds, the interactive mode stops the EEC self-test and this can cause unwanted faults.
   (3) On the left or right Multipurpose Control and Display Unit (MCDU), get the SYSTEM REPORT/TEST/ENG page (Ref. AMM TASK 31-32-00-860-012).
4. Procedure
Subtask 73-29-00-710-073-A
CAUTION: THIS SCREEN SHOWS WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY RECORDED IN THE EEC NVM. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT DOES NOT REFLECT WHAT IS CURRENTLY INSTALLED ON THE ENGINE. DO A CHECK OF YOUR RECORDS, OR, IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, REMOVE THE FAN SPINNER TO CONFIRM THE ACTUAL WEIGHT CONFIGURATION.
A. Existing Fan Weights

The purpose of the EXISTING FAN WEIGHTS screen is to inform the operator of the current fan weight configuration status.
NOTE: After selecting an MCDU button, it may take approximately 10 seconds to transition to the next Menu Mode screen.
NOTE: The fan weight editing menu mode function takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.
NOTE: The EEC will not enter the menu mode (interactive mode) after an enquire command from the CFDS (Centralized Fault Display System) when any of the following conditions are set:
  • N2 more than ten percent or invalid
  • Rotary selector is set on: CRANK or IGN/START or invalid
  • Manual Start Button set on: ON or invalid
  • TLA (Throttle Lever Angle) not at idle or invalid
  • Aircraft in the air
  • MASTER lever ON or invalid
  • BITE command code input label invalid
  • Landing gear is simulated in flight configuration.
NOTE: The EEC will abort a running test or special function when any of the following conditions becomes set:
  • N2 more than ten percent or invalid
  • Engine state not off
  • Engine not in default start state
  • TLA (Throttle Lever Angle) not at idle or invalid
  • Aircraft in the air
  • MASTER lever ON or invalid
  • You enter in the interactive mode of the other channel.

ACTION
RESULT
1.On the Menu Mode main menu, select the key adjacent to SPECIAL FUNCTIONS (2R).
The SPECIAL FUNCTIONS menu is displayed (Screen 1).
2.On the SPECIAL FUNCTIONS menu, select the key adjacent to ENGINE BALANCING (1R)
The ENGINE BALANCING submenu is displayed (Screen 2).
3.Select the BALANCE ENGINE function (2R).
The EXISTING BALANCE WEIGHTS page is displayed (Screen 3). The existing fan trim balance weights and locations are displayed in two columns. The part number (PN column) is associated with the mass of the balance weight. Part numbers range from 02 thru 03. The bolt hole (BH column) is the location of the fan trim balance mass. Bolt hole locations range from 01 to 72. Empty bolt hole locations are marked by "--" for both columns.
4.Review the existing fan trim balance weights and locations.
  • To return to the ENGINE BALANCING submenu, select the key adjacent to RETURN (6L).
  • To edit fan trim weights, select key adjacent to EDIT WEIGHTS (5L).See Para. B. Edit Fan Balance Weights for additional information.

Subtask 73-29-00-710-074-A
B. Edit Fan Balance Weights
The purpose of the edit fan balance weights function is to permit the user to make changes to the fan trim weight entry configuration stored in the EEC. A fan trim mass (PN 02 or 03, 01 is no weight) is permitted on up to 36 fan trim balance weight locations (BH 01 thru 72). The stored fan balance weights and locations can be used to compute fan trim balance solutions which reduce flight deck indicated engine vibration, airplane cabin noise and vibration due to the fan rotor unbalance.
NOTE: PN 01 = Empty hole, PN 02 = Screw and nut configuration, PN 03 = Screw, nut, and weight configuration.
NOTE: After selecting a MCDU button, it may take approximately 10 seconds to transition to the next Menu Mode screen.
NOTE: The fan weight editing menu mode function takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

RESULT
1.On the Menu Mode main menu, select the key adjacent to SPECIAL FUNCTIONS (2R).
The SPECIAL FUNCTIONS menu is displayed (Screen 1).
2.On the SPECIAL FUNCTIONS menu, select the key adjacent to ENGINE BALANCING (1R).
The ENGINE BALANCING submenu is displayed (Screen 2).
CAUTION: THIS SCREEN SHOWS WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY RECORDED IN THE EEC NVM. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT DOES NOT REFLECT WHAT IS CURRENTLY INSTALLED ON THE ENGINE. DO A CHECK OF YOUR RECORDS, OR, IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, REMOVE THE FAN SPINNER TO CONFIRM THE ACTUAL WEIGHT CONFIGURATION.
3.Select the WEIGHTS CONFIG function (1R).
The EXISTING BALANCE WEIGHTS page is displayed (Screen 3).
4.Review the existing fan trim balance weights and locations. To edit fan trim weights, select the key adjacent to EDIT WEIGHTS (5L) to enter the new fan trim weights.
The Edit Balance Weights screen is displayed (Screen 4).
5.Select the arrow key associated with the fan trim weight bolt hole (BH) and part number (PN) to be modified (2L, 2R, 3L, 3R, 4L or 4R).
NOTE: Multiple pages may be displayed depending on the number of weights installed.
The Update BALANCE WEIGHTS screen is displayed (Screen 5).
6.If you are installing a new weight or modifying an existing weight and location, use the MCDU number pad to enter the 2 digit code for both the bolt hole location and weight part number. Bolt hole location is the first two digits. Part number is the second two digits. Select the key adjacent to UPDATE (5R) to enter the new configuration.
If you are removing a weight, select the key adjacent to REMOVE (5L).
If the weight configuration was updated or removed successfully, the Edit BALANCE WEIGHTS screen is displayed (Screen 4).
If the weight configuration entered was a duplicate entry or an invalid combination, the Balance Weights Invalid Entry Error screen is displayed (Screen 6).
7.Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all installed fan trim balance weights and locations for the desired configuration appear on the Edit BALANCE WEIGHTS screen(s). Select key 5R to confirm the weight entry.
The Confirm Balance Weights screen is displayed (Screen 7).
CAUTION: YOU MUST NOT INSTALL FAN TRIM WEIGHTS THAT DO NOT MATCH WITH THE WEIGHTS SAVED IN THE EEC MEMORY. IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THIS INSTRUCTION, THE FUTURE FAN TRIM BALANCE CALCULATIONS WILL NOT BE CORRECT AND CAN CAUSE A FAN UNBALANCE.
8.Remove the currently installed weights and apply the weights displayed on the Confirm BALANCE WEIGHTS screen. Verify the installed fan trim weights match configuration displayed on the screen.
Once the weights have been verified, select the key adjacent to SAVE WEIGHTS (5R) to store the weights and locations to EEC memory.
If the weight configuration is stored successfully, the Balance Weights Saved screen is displayed (Screen 8).
If the EEC was not able to store the weight configuration to NVM, the Balance Weights NVM Error screen is displayed (Screen 9). Verify no EEC NVM, electrical power, or cross-channel faults are present prior to reattempting to modify fan trim weights.
9.Select the key adjacent to RETURN (6L) to return to the Engine Balancing submenu.
