TASK 25-60-00-700-805-A00
5. TESTING WITH ALTERNATIVE TEST EQUIPMENT
A. For battery voltage measurement, use a Multimeter. Please consider, that therefore the LF-
ULD has to be set into service operation mode (refer to Service Operation Mode).
NOTE: Instructions for use of a Multimeter are not specified further in this manual.
B. For operational testing we recommend the use of the Novega Ulyser, however, an alternative
Ultrasonic Test Set can be used. Please consider, that therefore the LF-ULD has to be set into
service operation mode (refer to Service Operation Mode).
NOTE: The use of the alternative Ultrasonic Test Set is not specified further in this
manual. The alternative Ultrasonic Test Set must be able to receive and dis-
play an acoustic signal with a strength of approx. 65 dB in air, a pulse length
of min. 10 ms, repetition rate of min. 0,1 pulses/s and a frequency of 8.8
kHz ± 1kHz.
C. Service Operation Mode
Please ensure that both water switch pins are clean and dry before starting the test (following
Operational and Battery Testing with Ulyser).
NOTE: The LF-ULD contains an intelligent activation, which avoids an unintentional

activation, whereby the durability of the battery could be impaired. On this
account, observe the following procedure to set the LF-ULD into the service
operation mode. Connect both of the water switch pins for approx. 3 sec-
onds with the wire jumper, this sets the LF-ULD into the service operation
mode. The LF-ULD is in the service operation mode for 60 seconds now. At
this point, the battery voltage is circulating to the water switch pins and the
LF-ULD is pulsing the acoustic signal. After expiration of 60 seconds, the
LF-ULD drops back into the sleep mode.
R 25-60-00 PAGE 1003

Jun 19/2020
SID88
NOTE: The LF-ULD pulses the acoustic signal a maximum of 6 times within the 60
seconds in the operation mode, due to the pulse repetition rate of 0,1 pul-
ses/s.
NOTE: If the 60 seconds in service operation mode are not sufficient to carry out
both tests (Acoustic Signal and Battery Voltage), the LF-ULD can be put
back into the service operation mode to complete the inspection. We rec-
ommend a waiting time of at least 30 seconds between the end of the first
service operation mode and the restart.
SERVICE OPERATION MODE

FIGURE 1003
D. Battery Voltage Measurement
(1) Adjust the Multimeter into a range of 20 VDC and a resistance of 10 MOhm. During the
60 seconds, press both of the multimeter test prods on the LF-ULD water switch pins
and read off the battery voltage.
(2) The indication of the Multimeter might oscillate in the decimal range.
(3) This is normal and shows, that the LF-ULD is pulsing the acoustic signal, which causes
a minor fall of voltage.
(4) The minimum read-out voltage value must not fall below 3.2 V.
(5) If minimum value is undercut, the beacon / battery must be replaced.

the LF-ULD is in the service operation mode (refer to Service Operation Mode).
(2) For the use of the alternative Ultrasonic Test Set please follow the instructions of the
respective test manuals of the specific manufacturer how to set the test set in the re-
ceiving state.
(3) If battery voltage is in order but no signal is received, please read the fault isolation in-
structions (refer to Fault Isolation) or contact our service department (refer to Manufac-
turing).

INTRODUCTION
TASK 25-60-00-99F-816-A00
1. IPL INTRODUCTION
A. General Information
This page block gives all replaceable parts of the LF-ULD.
B. Organization
(1) The ILLUSTRATED PARTS LIST (IPL) has the following sections:
(a) Introduction
The introduction gives the basic data that is necessary to use the IPL.
The introduction has a list of vendors (LOV).

(b) Numerical Index
This section lists part numbers in alphanumerical sequence with reference to
the figure and item numbers and units per assy.
The structure of the part numbers is as follows (from the left side to the right
side):
- A through Z (without "O" as zero)
- 0 to 9.
For subsequent rows, the order is:
- a dash
- A through Z (without "O" as zero)
- 0 to 9.
(c) Optional Vendor Index
The optional vendor index (OVI) lists the standard part numbers and the rela-
ted optional part numbers of Novega Produktionssysteme GmbH.
(d) Detailed Parts List
1 Column "FIG. / ITEM"
The first number in the first line of a page gives the number of the fig-
ure that shows the part. The second number gives the item number
that identifies the part on the illustration. A dash in front of the item
number shows that the part is not illustrated.
2 Column "PART NUMBER"
The part number column gives the original manufacturer's part num-
bers. When standard part numbers are used, the standard part num-
ber is given in this column.

3 Column "AIRL. STOCK NO."

The column airline stock number is blank for airline internal use.
4 Column "IND"
The indenture system shows the connection of the parts and the as-
semblies to next higher assemblies that follow:
0 Assembly
1 Detail parts of assembly or sub-assembly
2 Detail parts of sub-assembly or sub-sub-assembly

5 Column "NOMENCLATURE"
a Attaching Parts
Attaching parts are given immediately after the parts which
they attach. The text ATTACHING PARTS precedes the first
item of the attaching parts group. The *** symbol follows the
last item of the attaching parts group.
b Vendor Codes
Parts made by companies other than Novega Produktionssys-
teme GmbH are identified by an applicable vendor code after
the nomenclature.
Vendor codes are given in current issues of U.S. Federal Sup-

ply Codes for Manufacturer Handbooks H4-1, H4-2 and H4-3
and have the letter "V" for "Vendor" as a prefix.
c Optional Part
The optional parts identify the manufacturer's part number.
6 Column "EFF CODE"
The effectivity column shows parts connections to units or assemblies
that are almost the same but have small differences. These units or
assemblies have reference letters such as 1A, 1B, 1C, etc.
Parts that are not the same in all configurations but are related to one
or more of the next higher assy are identified with the letter or letters of
the top item.
When a component is part of all top items, the effectivity column is

blank.
7 Column "UPA"
The column units per assy gives the quantity of a part required in the
sequence of only one next higher assembly.

ty column to show "As Required". When items are recorded for refer-
ence function, they are identified with "RF".
(e) Explanation of Terms and Symbols
1 If a part number has more than 15 characters, the part number is
shortened to 15 characters. The full part number is written in the no-
menclature column as follows: "ORDER OVERLENGTH PNR (xx)".
2 Part numbers amended with a capital letter (shown in the nomencla-
ture column) means that this equipment is improved without any
change to the operational effect.
3 The term "REPLACED BY" means that the part is replaced by and is
interchangeable with the part with the item number shown in the no-
menclature column.
4 The term "REPLACES" means that the part is replaces and is inter-
changeable with the part with the item number shown in the nomencla-
ture column.
5 The term "SUPERSEDED BY" means that the part is replaced by and
is not interchangeable with the part with the item number shown in the
nomenclature column.
6 The term "SUPERSEDES" means that the part replaces and is not in-
terchangeable with the part with the item number shown in the nomen-
clature column.
7 The term "ALTPN" means that the part is an alternative for another
part with equal value, weight, dimension, etc. It can be noted with
some specifications or fully interchangeable.
8 The term "OPTIONAL PART" means that the part is fully equal to other
variants listed without any differing specifications. It can be used
where the optional part is referenced.
9 The term "NP" means that the part is not procurable. Order the next
higher assembly.
10 The term "LFM" means that part number in the nomenclature column
is specified as raw material and is required to fabricate the subject part
classified as optional "Make or Buy".

INSTALLATION
TASK 25-60-00-99F-814-A00
1. GENERAL
A. This section describes the methodical installation and mounting of the Low-Frequency Under-
water Locating Device.
B. Installation Criteria
A recommendation for the installation of the LF-ULD can be found in the ARINC SPECIFICA-
TION 677.
NOTE: The LF-ULD is intended to be mounted to the structure of the aircraft and
provide a locating signal in the event an airplane becomes submerged un-
derwater. Placing the LF-ULD inside a containment vessel will prevent it
from performing its intended function of transmitting low frequency ultrason-
ic pulses to aid the location of the mishap aircraft.
C. Site Selection Guidance
NOTE: The following considerations should be taken into account as a guidance,

but under no circumstances can replace a type certification on aircraft level
or constitute an installation advice.
D. The LF-ULD should be installed in such a way that removal and installation can be performed
without removal of aircraft parts or components (e.g. galley, toilet, floor panel, etc.), other than
service panels.
E. The LF-ULD installation should not hinder the removal/installation or servicing of other equip-
ment.
F. Installation of the LF-ULD should provide enough space to:
(1) Perform required maintenance activities, e.g. check of LF-ULD battery or functional test
of the LF-ULD without removal of the LF-ULD from its bracket.
(2) Permit the qualified technician to work with both hands while observing the work area.
G. The LF-ULD label should be readable without the use of special tooling or removal of the LF-
ULD from the aircraft.
H. The LF-ULD is intended to be mounted on the aircraft structure and should neither be installed
in wing sections nor in the empennage of the airplane.
I. When choosing an LF-ULD mounting location, the entire set of environmental conditions must
be considered. Particular aircraft type related tests, such as Sustained Engine Imbalance, may
be required and validated for installation.
J. According to ETSO tests for fire safety requirements, the unit must contain the fragments/
debris from explosion but not gases/vapors/smoke.
K. Under normal use, battery fire is not anticipated, however, do not select a site next to any gas/
vapor/smoke sensitive device or to explosive substances such as fluids, materials and their
pipes.
L. The selection of the mounting location and the orientation should ensure that the LF-ULD is not
likely to activate due to fluids accumulation during normal use.
R 25-60-00 PAGE 13001

Jun 19/2020
SID88
M. Any compartment that may be expected to flood easily during normal use should not be selec-
ted.
N. Direct contact between the LF-ULD's water sensitive switches and water may activate the
acoustic signal output.
O. The installation area of the LF-ULD must be free of sound absorbent materials (honeycomb
structures, tarpaulins and persennings, clothes, cargo, etc.) to avoid the possibility that LF-ULD
transmissions are attenuated significantly. Do not wrap round the LF-ULD with tape or insula-
tion blankets.
P. In case of an incident, the possibility of demolition of the unit by crash is to be minimized.
Q. The environment, selected for mounting the LF-ULD, has to exclude the possibility that the LF-
ULD can be struck by moving, heavy weight components.
R. The LF-ULD must not be disassembled, crushed, penetrated, incinerated or exposed to tem-
peratures above +85°C (+185°F).
TASK 25-60-00-410-801-A00
2. PROCEDURES
A. General
(1) Before installing the LF-ULD, please consider that the LF-ULD can be properly tested
once it is installed.
– Before installing the LF-ULD, ensure that the contact surfaces between LF-
ULD and mounting bracket are flat, coated, without sharp-edged areas, free of
impurities and rust.
– Inspect the LF-ULD for transportation damages.
– Additional unapproved stamps or labels on the LF-ULD may reduce the acous-
tic radiation.
NOTE: In case of doubt, or if the LF-ULD should show damages, please

contact our service department (refer to Manufacturing).
B. Mounting
(1) To mount the beacon, perform the following steps:

– Prevent distortion of the LF-ULD while mounting on the mounting bracket.
– Secure the LF-ULD with four washers and aircraft standard screws with the di-
ameter and thread pitch that conforms to National Aerospace Standard
NAS1802-4-xx or equivalent (0.25 inch diameter, 28 tpi screw).
– Clean the water switch pins (refer to Cleaning) and perform a functional test of
the LF-ULD (refer to Operational and Battery Testing with Ulyser or Testing
with alternative Test Equipment).
R 25-60-00 PAGE 13002

Jun 19/2020
SID88
NOTE: The "xx" indicates the length of the screws (0.0625 inch incre-
ments) which shall be determined by the equipment installer de-
pending on LF-ULD flange thickness (refer to FIGURE 3) and air-
craft structure. The screws must be fastened with the screw-specific
tightening torque.
NOTE: The LF-ULD is no electrostatically sensitive item with no require-
ment for bonding. Aircraft relevant requirements may be different. A
recommendation can be found in ARINC SPECIFICATION 677 for
LF-ULD § 3.7 Electrical Bonding.
MOUNTING EXAMPLE
FIGURE 13001
C. Venting Point
The vent point is required to release overpressure in case of a battery failure (not anticipated
under normal use). For more information please contact our service department (refer to Manu-
facturing).
NOTE: The position of the venting point may be in any place within the shown vent-
ing area.
