2. Purpose of Equipment
The Model PS-835 Emergency Power Supply is designed as a 24 Vdc (nominal) emergency power
source for prolonging the operation of a connected standby attitude indicator when the aircraft main
power buss has de-energized. The aircraft main power buss provides trickle charging to the PS-835
while the aircraft performs normally.
The output of the PS-835 can be subsequently converted using either Avionics Systems Model SI-
100( ) Static Inverter or the SC-841 Static Converter to provide power for standby indicators of
different power requirements.
The SI-100 provides outputs of 115 Vac or 5 Vac, 400Hz either at single or three phase alternating
current. The SC-841 provides direct current outputs of 2.0 to 6.5 Vdc (user adjustable).
3. Physical Description
The PS-835 Emergency Power Supply is fully enclosed unit, designed to easily mount onto an
existing avionics shelf or the optional mounting rack Avionics Systems Model MTG-101 (part
number 572-1424-01), with models available with lightning surge protection. The face of the unit
provides individual cell monitor LED's, voltage output monitor LED's, battery Heater Operation
Monitor LED's, and a battery test switch.
4. Functional Description
A. Power Input
Aircraft 28 Vdc is connected to the emergency power buss through pin 10 of connector J1. The
input is diode isolated from the internal batteries and circuits to prevent battery discharge in the
event of a short circuit, or battery draw caused by low input from the aircraft main DC buss,
such as at engine start.

Revision B, Change 5 March 13, 2009
L-3 Avionics Systems
Component Maintenance Manual
Model PS-835( ) // 501-1228-( )
B. Battery Heating
Battery heating is provided by an etched foil Heating Resistor (HR1) mounted onto the unit
chassis.
With 28 Vdc applied to the unit and the temperature is 19 C (66 F) the green HEATER ON
LED (Figure 1, Item 3) will come on showing that the heater is operating. The red LED will
come on if the temperature exceeds 55 C.
The heating element, also, functions as a test load during the time the power supply is being
tested aboard the aircraft. The HEATER ON LED will come on when the TEST SWITCH
(Figure 1, Item 4) on the front panel is pressed.
C. Over-Temperature Protection
When the temperature of the power supply exceeds +55 C, the temperature sensor imbedded
within the Battery CCA (A1) will cause the OVER 55 C LED (Figure 1, Item 3) to go on. The
heating control circuitry would then cease the heating-resistor's operation. The heating circuit
will remain inoperable until the temperature of sensor drops low enough to again permit heater
operation.
There are four OUTPUT VOLTAGE MONITOR LED's on the front panel of the supply (Figure
3, Item 2). These indicate the state-of-charge of the stored power. The LED's go on when the
TEST SWITCH is pressed or when the supply is being charged.
The power supply is considered greater than 50% charged when the 24V LED momentarily
illuminates when the TEST SWITCH is pressed, and fully discharged when the 20V LED is
goes out.
PS-835 Emergency Power Supplies require periodic checks and scheduled testing. Refer to the
Testing and Fault Isolation section of this manual for the following checks:
A need for maintenance is indicated when unit fails the tests described above or functional
monitoring as described below.
Observation of self-test failure notification (applicable only when unit has self-test capability).
This unit has unlimited service life, where service life is defined as that point in time when repair is
no longer economical.

8. Specifications
The SI-100 Static Inverter provides for alteration of the PS-835 output for use of equipment that
requires alternating current (AC). See Avionics Systems Installation Instructions TP-346 for
additional information.
The Model SI-100A Static Inverter (Avionics Systems part number 501-1240-01) has 3Ø,
400Hz, 115Vac, 25VA output capability.
The Model SI-100B Static Inverter (Avionics Systems part number 501-1240-02) has 1Ø,
400Hz 115Vac, 75VA output capability, or 1Ø, 400Hz, 5Vac, 5VA output capability.

ATR Mounting Rack MTG-101 (Avionics Systems part number 572-1424-01) for use with PS-
835D when desired.
The cells are constructed with thin pure lead plates. The overall chemistry is typical of the
traditional lead-acid battery. A unique aspect of the sealed lead-acid cell is that the majority of
the oxygen generated within the cell during an overcharge condition is recombined within the
cell. The quality of the lead grids used in construction minimize the evolution of hydrogen
when overcharging occurs.
Each cell has a self-resealing release valve designed to operate in the 50-60 psi range. In
normal use, the battery internal cell pressure never exceeds 20 psi. This means that in normal
conditions the cell can be operated in a perfect vacuum and still have a sufficient safety margin,
so that venting will not occur.
NOTE: Batteries should not be left in a discharged state under any circumstances.
Cells should not be left connected to a load when in a discharged state or their ability to accept a
charge will be impaired. The cell may develop shorts or chemical action will create water that
will freeze at low temperatures and destroy the cell.
B. Battery/Cell Out-Gassing
CAUTION: SOME OF THE TYPES OF GASSES THAT MAY VENT FROM A CELL ARE TOXIC AND
SHOULD NOT BE CONTAINED IN A CLOSED, NON-VENTED AREA.
All lead-acid cells and batteries produce gasses during charging. The amount and type of gas
produced depends on state of charge, rate of charge, chemical composition of the electrolyte,
and general condition of the battery. Normally, gasses produced are recombined within the
cells to form oxides and water. Venting occurs when excessive charge rates are placed on the
battery or because of a defective cell (s) which subjects the remaining good cells to excessive
charge rates. Venting may also result from battery abuse or neglect.
If the odor of rotten eggs becomes apparent in the cockpit, pull the aircraft Emergency Power
Supply circuit breaker. The rotten egg odor is evidence that the lead-acid cells vent due to
prolonged high rate overcharging. Although the possibility of toxic levels is extremely remote,
the precaution of pulling the circuit breaker will prevent increased discomfort from the odor.
Venting is an indication that the Power Supply in not controlling the charging process. If
venting occurs the factory recommends that the Power Supply be removed from the
aircraft, tested according to the procedures listed in this manual, and to replace the
defective cell(s).

If a ready condition is required of a power supply being stored, recharge batteries every 4 months
for 1 hour at 28 to 30Vdc input. Do not store where temperature may exceed 85 F (29 C).
Low storage temperatures on fully charged cells lessen the rate of self-discharge, thus
increasing shelf life. There is no danger of damage to cells since they will not freeze even at
temperatures of -75 F. On the other hand, high storage temperatures will accelerate self-
discharge of the cells and storage under such conditions is not recommended. Refer to Figure 5.

The rate of energy being withdrawn from a cell affects the amount of energy that can be
obtained over time. For example, at low current rates the energy in a cell lasts longer than at
high current rates. The actual hours of service (Amp-hours, or Ah) from fully charged "D" or
"X" cells can be determined from Figure 6 below.

Figure 7 displays typical discharge curves at room temperature. At -55 C an internal heater
blanket maintains the cells at no lower than 0 C for the "X'' type cells and 20 C for the "S" type
cells. A typical discharge rate with the cells at 0 C reduces the capacity by approximately 15%.

11. Operation
A. Battery Testing
The majority of the components installed in the PS-835 operate only during test functions. The
exceptions are those associated with the battery heating system, and the over 55 C warning
system.
NOTE: Test functions should be performed only with the main buss not providing power
to the unit (off or disconnected).
Toggling the remote or pressing the unit TEST SWITCH (Figure 3, Item 4) on the power supply
front panel bypasses the thermostatic heat control system. That, in-turn, applies the battery
voltage to the internal battery heater. While in the TEST mode, the batteries are placed under
an approximate 7.5 load. The voltage level detection system will then analyze the battery
voltage level and will cause the appropriate OUTPUT VOLTAGE MONITOR LED's to go on.
NOTE: Ensure Test Switch is returned to normal position and all LED's are extinguished.
NOTE: If the unit TEST SWITCH or Remote Test Switch is depressed at a battery
ambient temperature of 55 C or greater, the unit internal heater will not turn ON
to provide a test load for the unit battery. This is not an ideal condition for
battery state of charge tests and should not be considered valid.
If the remote test is being performed, the Remote Battery-Voltage Level Lamp will go on,
provided the internally-loaded battery voltage level is greater than 24 Vdc.
The INDIVIDUAL CELL MONITOR LED's function as GO/NO GO indicators each of the
PS-835 lead acid cells. In case of low output capacity, these LED's will indicate which cell or
cells have failed. The variation of brightness of the LED's does not indicate cell condition.
All the schematic diagrams are included in this section. Any distinctions between drawing numbers
and assembly part numbers that apply to the description of the Theory of Operation are highlighted.
The majority of the components installed in the PS-835 operate only during test functions. The
exceptions are those associated with the battery heating and over 55 C warning system.
NOTE: Test functions must be performed with no input to J1 connector pin J1-10.
Various MOD level units exist in the field and are distinguished in this description by the various
Battery Monitor CCA part numbers that may appear for repair.
A. Power Input
Aircraft 28 Vdc is connected to the emergency power buss through J-1 connector pin J1-10 and
diode A1CR1. Diode (A1CR1) isolates the internal batteries and circuits in case of a short
circuit or low input from the aircraft main DC buss.
TP-329 Description - Page 12
Revision B, Change 3 August 29, 2007
L-3 Avionics Systems
Component Maintenance Manual
Model PS-835( ) // 501-1228-( )
The 28 Vdc input through *A2CR1 (**A2CR6) or the TEST SWITCH (A1S1) provides the
operating voltage at pin 4 of A2U1 and U2.
Heating Resistor (A1HR1) provides heat to the battery cells and functions as the internal 7.5
nominal test load. When 28 Vdc is applied to J1 connector pin J1-10 and the unit temperature is
19C (66 F) or less, or when the TEST SWITCH (A1S1) is pressed, A2U2-pin 1 is placed in a
high state which turns on HEATER ON LED A2DS17 and transistor *A2Q5 (**A2Q2)
allowing current flow through A1HR1, so long as the temperature remains less than 55 C.
C. Heater Control
Temperature Transducer (A1U1) is a temperature sensitive device that varies current flow
through potentiometer A2R8, TEMP CONTROL. If the power supply temperature is 19 to 27
C (63 to 81 F) or more current flow through A2R8 is heavy, forcing A2U2-pin 1 into a low
output cutting off LED A2DS17, transistor *A2Q5 (**A2Q2), and heating resistor A1HR1. If
the unit temperature should drop to 19 C (66 F) or less, the current flow through A2R8 would
not be sufficient to hold A2U2- pin 1 in a low state, the high output would turn on LED
A2DS17, transistor *A2Q5 (**A2Q2), and heating resistor A1HR1.
D. Over-Temperature Protection
Thermal Resistor A1RT1 is a temperature sensitive device that changes resistance rapidly (to
over 1 Megohm) if the temperature of the surface where it is mounted exceeds +55 C (131 F).
During normal operation or test, the potential applied to the inverting input pin 6 of *A2U1
(**A2U1-13) is such that *A2U1 output pin 7 (**A2U1-14) is high, turning ON transistor
*A2Q6 (**A2Q3).
If the temperature exceeds +55 C, Thermal Resistor A1RT1 will change value reducing the
conduction current and applying a high positive voltage to the inverting inputs of *A2U1-pin 6
(**A2U1-pin 13). This causes *A2U1-pin 7 (**A2U1-pin 14) to go low, OVER 55 C LED
A2DS18 to go on, and turning off transistor *A2Q6 (**A2Q3), thereby preventing heating
resistor operation. The circuit will remain in this state until the temperature of Thermal Resistor
A1RT1 is low enough to again permit conduction.
The outputs of *A2U1-pins 1, 8 and 14 (**pins 1, 7 and 8) and A2U2-pin 8 are normally high
due to the voltage applied to the non-inverting inputs by *A2Q7 (**A2Q1), resistor *A2R18
(**A2R21) and the voltage applied to the inverting inputs from voltage divider network
resistors *A2R19 through A2R22, A2R24 and A2R25 (**A2R5, A2R6, A2R12, A2R17,
A2R22 and A2R23).

F. Test
Depressing the remote or unit TEST SWITCH applies the battery output voltage through J1
connector pins J1 pins 2 and 6 to diode *A2CR4 (**A2CR3), to pin J1-4 of A2U1 and A2U2;
through diode *A2CR3 (A2CR4) to diode *A2CR11 (**A2CR2) and resistor *A2R5
(**A2R3) to bypass the heater turn-off system. While the TEST SWITCH is being held, the
internal heater A1HR1 is turned on, placing the batteries under an approximate 7.5 load. The
voltage level detection system analyzes the battery voltage level at this time and will cause the
appropriate LED's (DS13 through DS16) to go on.
NOTE: If unit TEST SWITCH or Remote Test Switch is depressed at a battery ambient
temperature of 55 C or greater, the unit internal heater will not turn on to
provide a test load for the unit battery.
When a remote test is being performed, the Remote Battery-Voltage Level Lamp will go on,
provided the loaded battery voltage level is greater than 24 Vdc.

1. General
This section of the manual provides the following procedures; bench test, battery charging, periodic
testing, performance tests and circuit card tests for the PS-835 Emergency Power Supply.
NOTE: Read these procedures thoroughly before proceeding with any testing.
These instructions will offer reference to supporting Illustrated Parts List illustrations that will
appear in parenthesis identifying figure and item number (sample 1-50). In addition, electronic
components will include Reference Designator identification in parenthesis indicating the major
assembly and component reference number that is listed or identified on the appropriate schematic
(sample A1R8). Schematic drawings are located in the Description and Operation section.
All lead-acid cells and batteries produce gasses during charging. The amount and type of gas
produced depends on state of charge, rate of charge, chemical composition of the electrolyte,
and general condition of the battery. Normally, gasses produced are recombined within the
cells to form oxides and water.
Venting occurs when excessive charge rates are placed on the battery or because of a defective
cell(s), which will subject the remaining good cells to excessive charge rates. Venting may also
result from battery abuse or neglect.
If the odor of rotten eggs becomes apparent in the cockpit, pull the aircraft Emergency Power
Supply circuit breaker. The rotten egg odor is evidence that the lead-acid cells vent due to
prolonged high rate overcharging. Although the possibility of toxic levels is extremely remote,
the precaution of pulling the circuit breaker will prevent increased discomfort from the odor.
Venting is an indication that the Power Supply in not controlling the charging process. If
venting occurs, the factory recommends that the Power Supply be removed from the aircraft,
and tested to identify and replace defective cell(s).
NOTE: With proper maintenance and periodic testing, the likelihood of any battery
developing undetected problems is very remote.

2. Battery Testing
NOTE: Test functions should be performed only with the main buss not providing power to
the unit (OFF of disconnected).
Toggling the unit TEST SWITCH (Figure 105, Item 4) on the power supply front panel bypasses the
thermostatic heat control system. That, in-turn, applies the battery voltage to the internal battery
heater. While in the TEST mode, the batteries are placed under an approximate 7.5 load. The
voltage level detection system will then analyze the battery voltage level and will cause the
appropriate OUTPUT VOLTAGE MONITOR LED's (Figure 105, Item 2) to illuminate.
NOTE: Ensure Test Switch is returned to normal position and all LED's are extinguished.
NOTE: If the unit TEST SWITCH or Remote Test Switch is depressed at a battery ambient
temperature of 55 C or greater, the unit internal heater will not turn ON to provide a
test load for the unit battery. This is not an ideal condition for battery state of charge
tests and should not be considered valid.
If the remote test is being performed, the Remote Battery-Voltage Level Lamp will momentarily
illuminate, provided the internally loaded battery voltage level is greater than 24Vdc.
NOTE: After testing, it is possible that the lamp will not illuminate again until the batteries
are recharged.
The INDIVIDUAL CELL MONITOR LED's (Figure 105, Item 1) function as GO/NO GO indicators
for each of the PS-835 lead acid cells. In case of low output capacity, these LED's will indicate
which cell or cells have failed. Any variation of brightness does not indicate cell condition.
3. Charging Procedures
Locally manufacture a power cable using 16AWG wire and the appropriate mating connector
See Figure 102, Item 7 & 8. Include a Diode (15 ADC (min), 50.0 PIV or greater, See Figure
102, Item 6) to prevent battery discharge in case of loss of power from the power source.
Using the external power supply (Figure 102, Item 1), apply 29.0 0.5 Vdc (10A maximum
current limited) to J1 connector pins 11 (+) and 7 (-) and charge the unit for 16 hours. The
batteries should reach 80% capacity within 1 hour and full charge at 16 hours.

Use the locally manufactured power cable, including the appropriate mating connector and
diode, to connect a regulated/constant voltage source (28.5 0.5 Vdc) to the PS-835. This
method will provide a long-term constant voltage to maintain the fully charged condition of the
PS-835 unit when not in service, without any other maintenance action.
NOTE: The trickle charge method can be maintained indefinitely without damage to the
charging batteries.
Install the BC-815 Battery Charger (Avionics Systems part number 501-1321-01) into the PS-
835 Emergency Power Supply and charge for no-less-than 23 hours. Charge time depends upon
the batteries state-of-charge. Charging for 23 hours will essentially guarantee a full charge.
The BC-815 provides a constant charging current of either 0.5 A or 0.25 A, selectable by a
switch on the face of the unit. The AMBER LED illuminates when power is applied by placing
the ON / OFF switch to ON. When the unit being charged is within 90.0% of full charge, the
GREEN LED illuminates indicating that the BC-815 has automatically switched to the trickle
charge mode. The charger/battery combination may be operated in this mode indefinitely
without damage to the BC-815 or to the batteries being charged.
Install the BC-815 Battery Charger (Avionics Systems part number 501-1321-01) into the PS-
835 Emergency Power Supply. This method will provide a long-term constant voltage to
maintain the fully charged condition of the PS-835 unit when not in service, without any other
maintenance action.
NOTE: The trickle charge method can be maintained indefinitely without damage to the
charging batteries.
NOTE: This check will indicate an accurate condition of the unit only upon the initial attempt.
Repeated checks will not reveal accurately because stored energy is used each time the
TEST SWITCH is depressed.
With no power applied to the PS-835 Emergency Power Supply, press and hold for 5 seconds
the cockpit remote TEST SWITCH in the TEST position. The remote test lamp must, at least,
momentarily illuminate to indicate that the Power Supply is adequately charged. If no
illumination of the remote test lamp is apparent for the period that switch is held, the
Emergency Power Supply is incapable of providing power in an emergency.

D. Release the TEST SWITCH and reset the aircraft circuit breaker.
NOTE: Ensure Test Switch is returned to normal position and all LED's are extinguished.
3. Checks During Disassembly
2) For burned, heat deformed, broken, or shorted parts, components, and hardware.
3) Connector and terminal posts for bent, broken, or damaged pins, screws (heads and
threads), and casings for breakage and cracking.
4) Inspect all wiring for being excessively tight or loose, chafing, fraying, burned insulation,
and breakage. Wiring insulated with Teflon should be checked closely for insulation cold-
flowing and bare conductors. This phenomenon would be most evident at wire bends and
places where wire bundles are secured or tied. An insulation breakdown test will
determine if replacement is warranted.
5) Inspect all soldered connections, even those not unsoldered during disassembly, for broken
or pitted solder, cold joints, and solder quality.
Deficiencies found during inspection should be corrected when repairing a defective unit, or
performed as a preventive maintenance measure to preclude future problems. Repair defects in
accordance with the Repair section of this manual.

1. General
The installation information provided is for “typical” install situations, not including information for
specific aircraft. Additional information may be obtained from the original aircraft manufacturer.
The following steps provide general requirements for locating the Emergency Power Supply in an
aircraft.
A. The Emergency Power Supply provides limited direct-current power and 115Vac (when in
combination with Static Inverter Model SI-100) to the aircraft emergency bus equipment in case
of primary power failure. Therefore, the supply should be located in the general area of aircraft
AC and DC busses.
B. Ensure that space requirements for the supply match space available for the installation being
considered.
2) The installation area should be free from excessive vibration and heat.
C. Consider the relative distance to associated equipment. Keep connecting cables as short as
possible.
A. Check unit for physical damage that may have occurred during shipping and handling.
B. For new-unit installation, the PS-835 Battery Pack must be charged. See Testing and Fault
Isolation section charging procedures.
C. Units installed after a maintenance action must be tested in accordance with the Performance
Test procedures listed in Testing and Fault Isolation section before installation.
4. Post Installation
Perform either the Preflight or the Periodic Check, see Testing and Fault Isolation section,
immediately after installation of the PS-835 Emergency Power Supply.

6. Installation Kits
7. Interconnect Diagrams
The PS-835 Emergency Power Supply contains internal fuses and circuit breakers to protect the
supply against shorting conditions. Additional fuses or breakers may be required to protect
aircraft wiring, as determined by the specific loads. The required current-rating of any
additional current protection is dependent on the load applied to the units connector J1 Pin 11.
All circuits connecting to the output Pin 11 should use current/load appropriate sized wire.
Refer to the Typical Installation Interconnect Diagrams (Figures 802 or 803) for additional
information. See Specification table, Figure 4 for PS-835 current output information.
B. Retrofits
The older PS-823 Emergency Power Supply can be replaced by the PS-835. The PS-823, when
providing 115 Vac output, can be replaced with the PS-835/SI-100 combination to provide
115Vac output, also.
In cases where the previous PS-823 provided 26 Vdc output, add the Transformer (Figure 801,
Item 2 Avionics Systems part number 556-2006-01) to the PS-835/SI-100 combination. See
Figure 801, Item 3 for suggested Transformer location. Tap either phase A or C output leg
when using a SI-100A, 3 -phase Static Inverter.
Test-switch circuitry of the previous PS-823 setup must be altered as indicated below.
