FLAPS_V6_HBR_datasheet_manual_EN.odt 4 Installation in an airplane Please pay special attention to the installation and wiring of all components of the flaps controller when installed in an airplane. This is important for the proper functioning of the equipment and the safety of the airplane. 4.1 Mechanical installation The sketch below shows the dimensions needed to fit the FLAPS V6 HBR control unit to the airplane dashboard.
FLAPS_V6_HBR_datasheet_manual_EN.odt 4.2 Position sensor mounting If an actuator without an integrated position sensor is used in the installation, it is necessary to use an external position sensor that is rigidly mechanically attached to the actuator rod so that the control unit has undistorted actuator position information. ATTENTION! The position sensor shall be mechanically coupled so that when the piston rod is fully extended or fully retracted, the position sensor is still within its valid travel range and remains at least 5% to its edge.
FLAPS_V6_HBR_datasheet_manual_EN.odt 4.3 Actuator installation (POSITION 2 for HBR 3P) Observe the following points when installing the actuator: use the full mechanical travel range of the actuator piston rod to fully retract or • extract the flaps, adjust the design of the flaps control elements so that the actuator (piston rod) is retracted as much as possible with the zero flaps (position 0), with full flaps (position 3, or position 2 for HBR 3P) pulled out as far as possible...
FLAPS_V6_HBR_datasheet_manual_EN.odt 4.4 Electrical connections On the back of the device there is a 10-pin Molex Mini-Fit JR connector, which is used to connect the actuator, position sensor, limit switches, LBUS pin, power supply. The figure below shows a view of the back and connector with numbered pins: view of the connector in the control unit Pin no.
FLAPS_V6_HBR_datasheet_manual_EN.odt 4.4.1 Electrical connections of actuator with internal position sensor and limit switches If the actuator you are using contains both a position sensor and limit switches, connect the control unit according to the following diagram. ATTENTION! Always refer to the documentation for the actuator used to identify the appropriate signals for the motor and position sensor.
FLAPS_V6_HBR_datasheet_manual_EN.odt 4.4.2 Electrical connections with simple actuator, external position sensor and limit switches If your actuator does NOT include a position sensor or limit switches, it is NECESSARY TO CONNECT EXTERNAL ONES. Connect the control unit according to the following diagram, with an example of external limit switches and Honeywell RTY050 position sensor.
FLAPS_V6_HBR_datasheet_manual_EN.odt 4.4.3 Electrical connections for dimming control unit display elements ATTENTION! Never connect the dimmer directly to the control unit (without DIMBOX accessory) !!! The control unit may be irreversibly damaged! The figure below shows the wiring diagram for dimming of the indicator elements. It shows how to connect the dimmer via DIMBOX (accessory to the FLAPS V6 HBR control unit).
FLAPS_V6_HBR_datasheet_manual_EN.odt 5 Description of functions 5.1 Normal mode – automatic as soon as the power is switched on, the control unit performs the initialization • sequence, which is indicated by the successive lighting of all LEDs first in red, then gradually by changing the color of each LED from red to green;...
FLAPS_V6_HBR_datasheet_manual_EN.odt 5.2 Errors and faults The device is able to detect various types of errors and faults. These errors and faults are indicated by LEDs and in most cases functionality of the normal (automatic) mode is blocked. In particular, the following faults are an exception: Fault Motor overcurrent •...
FLAPS_V6_HBR_datasheet_manual_EN.odt 5.3 Safety mode – manual When the Position Sensor Fault indication is displayed and then the rotary switch is turned to either position 1 or 2, it switches to Safety (manual) mode, which is described in more detail in this section. Safety mode is indicated by steady red LEDs 1 and 2 and flashing green LEDs 0 and 3 (see following figure) The manual actuation of the flaps actuator then takes place using one of the following...

FLAPS_V6_HBR_datasheet_manual_EN.odt 5.5 Position programming mode This mode is used to precisely set (or fine-tune pre-programmed) positions to which the actuator or the flaps connected to it are adjusted (extended and retracted). The control unit has factory preset target positions, with target position 0 corresponding to the fully retracted actuator.
Page 27
FLAPS_V6_HBR_datasheet_manual_EN.odt Repeat this sequence described above for all positions you want to program or tune. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are reprogramming the sequence of target positions mirrored to the factory preset target positions (newly position 0 corresponds to the actuator retracted), Programmed Position Error will be displayed as soon as the first edited target position is stored on the opposite end of the piston rod path.
ATTENTION! The landing gear control output is intended solely for connection to the corresponding input of landing gear control unit manufactured by LAMBERT ELECTRONIC s.r.o. 5.7 Dimming of indicator elements Dimming of indicator elements is possible only if the following conditions are met: DIMBOX accessory is connected to the FLAPS V6 HBR control unit •...
