OVERVIEW The information in this manual is subject to change without notification. SCOPE This manual is intended to determine a proper installation of the AIS-380 FUEL FLOW ADAPTER. Installation instructions should be read and followed. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The AIS 380 Fuel Flow is a product designed to provide fuel flow on a digital output bus to a display or GPS receiver that can receive ARINC 429 or RS-232.
• One RS-232 Serial Interface with fuel flow data, reference Table 3 for serial output formats. Table 1 below defines the ARINC 429 labels which are received at the input of the AIS-380 and the labels that are transmitted out.
Channel 2 Labels 244 and 347 are the labels generated by the AIS-380 and are shown in bold at the ARINC 429 output. All of the data listed in the ARINC 429 Output column in Table 1 above is sent out on SERIAL 2 in RS-232 format.
Mag Heading ARINC 429 label. See Table 1 above for specific ARINC 429 labels used. Output: The AIS-380 transmits the data along with fuel flow data to the GPS via the RS-232 port, Channel 2. The RS-232 serial format is programmed using the Maintenance Interface. The available formats are listed in Table 3 below in Section 5.1.2.
Mean time between failures (MTBF) is calculated following MIL-HDBK-217F guidance as a starting point, when available field or vendor data is used in place of MIL-HDBK-217F predictions. The AIS-380 prediction is for an environment of airborne, inhabited, cargo. At 20°C the prediction is 36,367 hours and at 40°C it is 22,607 hours.
RTCA/DO-160F, Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment. The AIS-380 is compatible with any fuel transducer whose output is a pulse/frequency in the range of 0 to +13VDC and within 2Hz to 2KHz. Installation Drawing D833811-01, included in Appendix A of this manual, provides connector J1 pin out information for proper wiring.
1 or pin 16. Pin 37 is tied directly to the AIS-380 chassis. After the AIS-380 is mounted to the airframe, this pin is equivalent to airframe ground and can be used as a connection to cable shields in the connector backshell.

Page: 16 of 30 ENVIRONMENTAL QUALIFICATION FORM (EQF) The AIS-380 hardware was environmentally tested with all functions active to RTCA/DO-160F and is documented in Shadin Qualification Testing Report SD-110037. Qualification testing was conducted on P/N 833811-00; the hardware is identical to 833811-01, therefore qualified by similarity. Explosive Atmosphere testing was conducted P/N 833812-10 and passed.
The software and the cable required for this tool are included in the kit. Alternatively, a cable configured per Figure 7 below can be built to interface the AIS-380 to the PC. The software is available at no charge at www.shadin.com.
