WARNING
THIS INSTALLATION SHOULD NOT BE EXTENDED TO ELIGIBLE
AIRCRAFT ON WHICH OTHER PREVIOUSLY FAA APPROVED
MODIFICATIONS ARE INCORPORATED UNLESS IT IS
DETERMINED BY THE INSTALLER THAT THE
INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THIS CHANGE AND ANY OF
THOSE OTHER PREVIOUSLY APPROVED MODIFICATIONS WILL
PRODUCE NO ADVERSE EFFECT UPON THE AIRWORTHINESS
OF THE AIRCRAFT.
WARNING: Do not mix other refrigerant fluids with the R134a. Do not use refrigerant
canned for pressure-operated accessories (such as boat air horns). This refrigerant is not pure
and will cause malfunctions in the system.
WARNING: When the system must be opened to do maintenance, before you do the work,
you must drain the air conditioning system.
WARNING: When you open the system, you must collect the refrigerant in accordance with
Federal and Local regulations.
WARNING: When the R134a is used in normal conditions, it is not flammable. Do not use
it near a source of heat to prevent the risk of separation of the vapors.
WARNING: Wear safety goggles when servicing any part of the refrigerant system.
WARNING: Never heat a R-134a supply cylinder to produce additional pressure or attempt
to empty the container completely.
WARNING: If the R-134a and lubrication oil are mixed with water they make hydrochloric
acid. This will cause corrosion of the system components.
PROCEDURE
WARNING: You must replace the filter drier each time you open the system.
WARNING: Comply with the regulations in force in the country where the aircraft is
operated when working on the air conditioning system.
WARNING: Always keep the R-134a supply cylinder in an upright position when admitting
refrigerant into the system. If a cylinder is on its side or upside down, liquid will enter the R-
134a system and cause damage to the compressor.

Ft. Worth, Texas 76106
We should probably define “cold”. Actually, for our purpose, “cold” is a relative term. Your
air conditioner should produce air (measured at the duct) that is:
An Empty System
If the system is empty, the search for leaks should begin with a good visual check. Is it a fast
leak or a slow leak? When was the system last charged? If it’s a newly installed and filled system,
then look for obvious leaks like a chaffed, punctured or ruptured hose, or a loose fitting. (See the
recharge and leak testing section for hints on charging new systems.)
Freon leaks can be very tough to find. Freon is colorless, odorless, heavier than air, and it
evaporates as soon as it hits the atmosphere. The only helpful thing about it is the fact that the oil
carried with the refrigerant, so any sizable leak will leave a trail of oil at the offending hose or
fitting. It will often just be a dark area, and the amount of oil might be slight. But if you find and air
conditioning fitting with an oily residue and the area around it is dry, you’ve probably found you
leak. A good electron detector can verify your visual diagnosis.
Because the system carries the oil in suspension with the refrigerant, any sizable leak will
leak oil as well as refrigerant. Very slow leaks will usually only vent refrigerant and not oil, but a
fast leak like a ruptured hose or a very lose fitting, will leak the refrigerant so fast that the oil is
carried out of the system as well. If your system has suffered a major leak, be sure to check the oil
level in the compressor before refilling the system.

Troubleshooting
Symptoms:
- Insufficient cooling
- Low-side pressure too low
- High-side pressure too low
- Receiver/drier sight glass shows a stream of bubbles
- Air in ducts only slightly cool
Correction: Find and fix the leak. If there was a loss of oil, be sure to check the compressor
oil level. Evacuate and recharge.
MM-109-00-011 3
Agusta 109 Series Trouble Shooting Guide
Symptoms:
- Insufficient cooling during hottest part of the day or during extended flying.
- Low-side pressure normal, though it may be too low or even a vacuum
- High-side pressure normal, though it may be low-at the same time low side is low
- Receiver-drier sight glass may show tiny bubbles
(Note: This could be a tough call with HFC-134A since the sight glass is always
milky).
- Air in the ducts is usually cold, but becomes warm when pressure reading drop
Cause: Excessive moisture in the system. The drying agent in the receiver-drier is saturated
with moisture, which is released to the system when outside temperature increased. Moisture
in the system collects and freezes on the expansion valve, stopping the flow or refrigerant.
Correction: Suck all the CFC-12 from the system. Replace of rebuild the receiver-drier.
Evacuate and recharge.
Symptoms:
- Insufficient cooling
- Low-side pressure normal, but does not drop when the clutch cycles
- High-side pressure high
- Receiver/drier sight glass shows occasional bubbles (Note again that with HFC-
134A the sight glass should be milky when the system is fully charged.)
- Air in ducts only slight cool
Correction: Leak test, watch for bad compressor seals. Drain the system. Repair leaks as
needed. Replace or rebuild the receiver-drier. Check the compressor oil. Evacuate and
recharge.
MM-109-00-011 4
Agusta 109 Series Trouble Shooting Guide
Symptoms:
- No cooling
- Low-side pressure too high
- High-side pressure too high
- Receiver/drier sight glass may show occasional bubbles
- Liquid line very hot
- Air in ducts is warm
Cause: The condenser is not function properly because of high head pressure. System may
be overcharged.
NOTE:
A cloudy sight glass indicates a system that is only partially full of refrigerant (with a few
exceptions). A perfectly clear sight glass (use a light to get a good look) meaans the system is either
full or empty. Note, with HFC-134A the glass appears milky when properly charged, though there
should be no bubbles in the sight glass.

3. Forward evaporator fan will not turn on, but aft fan runs:
4. Aft evaporator fan will not run, but forward evaporator runs:
A) Check 20 amp circuit breaker on master electrical box.
B) Check ground wire from fan.
C) Check Brushes.
D) Check for power on wire IFS 101C14 at resistor assembly P/N 540020 or resistor P/N
050024-2 (parts are two way interchangeable).
1) If you have power, your motor is bad.
2) If no power trace through fan switch for power.
3) If no power disconnect cannon plug CP101 and check continuity from pin
3/B of CP101 to wire IFS101C14 on resistor with fan switch on “Low”.

3) NOTE: This has happened more than once. The service carts are great for
servicing systems, but there is a danger in its misuse. Untrained operators or
an individual who wants to service his car, truck, motor home or even his
room A/C can pump down their system into your tank. It can have any
number of different Freon’s. It could also be contaminated by a failed
compressor, dryer bottle, wrong oil or any number of things. This has
happened to a company with brand new equipment just 3 weeks old. There
were large warning signs on this service cart, designated HELICOPTER
SERVICE ONLY. They had one for ground equipment. All of the
mechanics were well trained except for the management, janitors and their
family members of the company. It can happen to any operator.
6. Compressor clutch does not engage, but air conditioner fans work.
A) Check clutch for power.
1) If power, clutch coil may be bad or air gap in clutch face may be
too excessive.
2) If NO power check system for
total Freon loss.
3) If system is serviced and still no
Power and you have an optional
temperature controller, you can bypass by jumping pins 3 and 4
on CP102 to check if faulty.

A) Ø 5.0” Blower motors have brushes 13/16” long. Brushes should be inspected every
200 hours. When brushes wear down to 5/16”, replace them.
MM-109-00-011 10
Agusta 109 Series Trouble Shooting Guide
1. The following brush inspection/change procedure is applicable to the blowers listed below:
050143 series all dash numbers and/or applicable motors
a. Remove the two each (5” Blower) Remove the brushes for inspection or discard.
b. Clean motor with dry compressed air by blowing air into the brush holder openings to remove any loose
carbon dust as needed.
a. Install new brushes and reinstall brush caps finger tight only.
b. Confirm that the motor turns freely and operates normally.
c. Run in the brushes for a minimum of five minutes to allow them to seat properly.
a. Brush for 050143 5” Blower should not be less than .185 of an inch over all length. They should be
inspected every 200 hours.
*NOTE*
IF THERE IS ANY SUSPECTED OR NOTICABLE DAMAGE AND/OR BRUSH
LENGTH IS QUESTIONABLE THE BRUSHES ARE TO BE DISCARDED AND
REPLACED WITH GENUINE INTEGRATED FLIGHT SYSTEMS PARTS
