SECTION 1 : INTRODUCTION

The model 6600-NG is a high accuracy automated pressure controller, with three independent pressure

outputs, specifically designed for controlling air data parameters such as altitude, airspeed, Mach and climb.

The three independent outputs of Pt, Ps2 and Ps1 makes the 6600-NG ideal for testing aircraft with AOA/

AOS probes. This instrument can also be used to control pressures in units of inHg, mbar, psi, mmHg and

kpa. The 6600-NG is equipped with internal pressure and vacuum pumps. The Remote unit is used to

interface with the Main unit. The small size of the Remote unit allows it to be used in the cockpit of an

aircraft.

The 6600-NG has three high accuracy transducers that measure pressure in the range of 1 to 42 inHg absolute

on the Ps1 and Ps2 outputs, and 0 to 30 inHg differential on the Pt output. These transducers are designed to

accurately measure the pressure of dry air over an ambient temperature range of -40

C to 80

C. The high

accuracy of the Ps1 and Ps2 transducers makes the 6600-NG fully RVSM compliant.

The 6600-NG allows the user to control altitude in feet or meters, climb in feet per minute or meters per

second. Airspeed can be controlled in knots, mach, km/hr and mph. Airspeed-rate can be also be controlled

in these units. The 6600-NG also allows the user to control EPR on the Pt output.

The model 6600-NG features programmable limits on altitude, airspeed, airspeed rate, mach number, climb

rate and Differential pressure (between Ps2 and Ps1). These limits are checked during data entry and thereby

prohibit entry of erroneous target values. These limits are also checked continuously during operation, and if

any of these is exceeded, the unit automatically takes abortive action.

The user has the ability to program into the 6600-NG a profile of set-points to be controlled in a sequence.

Once such a profile has been setup, the user can command the unit to move from one set-point to the next

simply by using the Up-arrow key. Up to 50 points can be stored in one profile. The 6600-NG can store up to

10 such profiles in non-volatile memory at any one time.

Calibration of the unit is required only once a year. This process is the only scheduled maintenance function

required on the 6600-NG.

The standard version of the model 6600-NG operates on AC power and comes with an RS232 interface.

Options include an internal battery which lasts up to 8 hours, internal heaters which allow the unit to operate

down to -40

C, and an altimeter-encoder interface.

The 6600-NG has built-in Wi-Fi capability which allows for wireless remote operation using an iPad.

SECTION 2 : CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS

2.1 MAIN UNIT, TOP PANEL

The model 6600-NG top panel provides easy access to all the connections. Please refer to Figure 2.1. (shown

on next page)

[1] AC INPUT connector :

This is a 3-pin male circular connector. A power cord is provided with the 6600-NG. The circular connector

end of the power cord needs to be connected here. The power requirement of the 6600-NG is 90-260 VAC,

47-440 Hz with a maximum power consumption of 100 VA (200 VA with heaters). The pin-out of this

connector is provided in Appendix C

Caution: Connecting incorrect power to the 6600-NG will cause considerable damage

[2] AC use :

A 5x20 mm fuse is located inside the fuse holder. This time-delay fuse, with a rating of 2.0 amps, 250 Volts,

limits AC power to the unit.

[3] AC On/Off switch :

This toggle switch connects (or disconnects) AC power between the AC INPUT connector and the 6600-NG.

Even when this switch is ON, the 6600-NG becomes fully operational only after the Power key located on the

keypad of the Remote Unit is pressed for a minimum of 3 seconds.

When an integrated battery is included, the battery-charging circuits inside the 6600-NG become active when

the AC On/Off switch is turned ON.

When internal heaters are included, the heater-control circuits inside the 6600-NG become active when the

AC On/Off switch is turned ON.

[4] Battery use :

This fuse is installed only if an integrated battery is included. A 5x20 mm fuse is located inside the fuse

holder. This time-delay fuse, with a rating of 10 amps, 250 Volts, limits attery power to the unit.

[5] Battery On/Off switch:

This switch is installed only if an integrated battery is included. This switch connects (or disconnects) the

battery from other circuits within the 6600-NG. If AC power is not available, turning this switch On allows

the unit to operate on battery-power.

In situations where AC power may be intermittent, it is advisable to keep the attery On/Off switch in the

On position. This will allow the internal circuits to automatically switch to battery power when AC power is

lost.

Caution: When the unit is not being used, the Battery On/Off switch must be in the Off position.

Leaving this switch On will drain the battery since some internal circuits will be active when this switch

is On.

[6] Remote Unit connection:

Using the 30-foot remote cable, connect the Remote unit to the Main unit through this 10-pin circular

connector. It is recommended that this connection be made prior to applying power to the 6600-NG. If this

cable is disconnected, the 6600-NG will stop operating.

[7] Emergency Vent Valve, "Pt Cross-bleed" :

In the event that the 6600-NG is in-operable due to a malfunction or due to loss of power, it is possible to vent

the Pt system manually. This is done using the metering valve labeled “Pt Cross-bleed”. This valve is a

positive shut-off valve. Opening this valve slowly will equalize the pressure between the Pt and Ps1 systems

(causing airspeed to be at zero).

Since opening this valve transfers pressure from the Pt system into the Ps1 system of the aircraft, while

opening this valve, care must be taken to vent the Ps1 system simultaneously (if necessary), to prevent the

altimeter in the aircraft from going below (minus) -1000 feet. Also, care must be taken not to exceed the

maximum value of the Climb indicator in the aircraft.

Once airspeed is down to zero, this valve must be opened completely, to ensure that airspeed stays at zero

while the Ps1 system is vented to ambient (using the “Ps1 Vent” valve).

Caution: This valve is for emergency use only and should not be used during normal operation. When

emergency venting is completed, this valve should be closed immediately.

Caution: This valve should not be tightened at all past its stop. It seals before it hits the stop. Even

finger-tight beyond the stop may damage the seat of the valve, causing it to leak constantly.
