1. General
This section provides description and theory of operation for the Model 1100-() Attitude Indicator,
part numbers, 504-0110-9(xx) and 504-011 l-9(xx).
2. Purpose of Equipment
The Model 1100 Attitude Indicator is a three-inch, compact, self-contained, attitude display
instrument that provides the pilot a dynamic, visual representation of the aircraft’s attitude in
reference to earth and sky.
3. Physical Description
The Model 1100 Attitude Indicator visual representation of earth and sky consist of a Roll Dial and
colored mask that move in a way resembling the appearance of true horizon as the aircraft flies.
The Pitch Indicator appears as a sky/earth presentation with blue indicating sky and brown as the
ground, with a prominent white line representing the horizon that separates them. The Pitch
Indicator provides pitch information as referenced to the fixed or adjustable airplane symbol located
in the center of the display.
The Pitch Indicator is encompassed with the Rotating Roll Dial (referenced to a Fixed Roll Index)
that indicates roll information. Colors are dependent upon option variations.
The unit display also exhibits a Power Warning Flag that will indicate the loss of power to the unit.
A Slip Indicator is available on a number of model variations. See Figure 1 for typical indicator
displays.

TP-529 Description and Operation - Page 1

5. Functional Description
The Model 1100 Attitude Indicator uses an electrically driven two-degree-of-freedom vertical
gyroscope. Gyroscope verticality is maintained by pneumatic erection and provides for manual fast-
erect with a caging knob. The nominal erection rate is 5° per minute, nominal.
The symbolic display of pitch and roll attitude is achieved by mechanical coupling to a self-
contained vertical gyroscope. The gyroscope is mounted on a pitch gimbal, which in turn is mounted
on a roll gimbal. A moving display (pitch indicator display), mechanically driven by the gyro pitch
gimbal and directly attached to the gyro roll gimbal, registers aircraft pitch displacement with respect
to a miniature airplane symbol. Presentation of aircraft roll is indicated by a moveable roll index
fixed to the gyro roll gimbal to indicate aircraft roll displacement, relative to a roll scale that is either
fixed to the indicator case, or the gyro case.
The unit is capable of operation through 360° of aircraft pitch and roll. The gyroscope incorporates
stops on the inner (pitch) axis to limit the pitch axis freedom to approximately ±85° relative to the
roll gimbal (on units calibrated for 0° panel angle). The pitch range is accomplished by controlled
precession when the pitch “stops” are contacted at the approximate vertical position.
The vertical gyroscope is erected to the vertical orientation by pneumatic means. The gyroscope
erection mechanism provides simultaneous erection of the pitch and roll axes. An external caging
knob provides the means, through mechanical coupling, for fast erect capability to place the vertical
gyroscope at approximately the 0° position relative to the indicator case.
A. Unit Power
The 1100-() Attitude Indicator requires either 14.0 Vdc or 28.0 Vdc input power depending
upon the indicator model. An inverter converts DC input power to multi-phase, 400Hz, AC
power as required to operate the vertical gyroscope motor.
B. Lighting System
An optional integral lighting system operates with input from an external 5.0 volt, 14.0 volt or
28.0 volt AC or DC supply, depending upon the indicator model. Lighting is available in White
and Blue-White colors.
The Model 1100 Attitude Indicator does not require scheduled maintenance or scheduled overhaul.
A need for maintenance is indicated when this unit fails to operate using applicable inputs as
described in this manual. This unit will be maintained on a “Condition Monitored" basis. Functional
monitoring is based upon the following:
A. Observation of self test failure notification (applicable only when unit has self-test capability).
This unit has an unlimited service life, where service life is defined as that point in time where repair
is no longer economical. Units repaired and returned to operating conditions, following normal
usage, will generally be practical.

9. Theory of Operation
In order to achieve the desired attitude presentation, the instrument must establish and maintain a
stabilized datum reference perpendicular to the earth. This is accomplished by mounting a self-
erected, high-speed rotor within a two-degree of freedom gimbal assembly. When the high-speed
rotor is at operating speed, sufficient angular momentum is developed to achieve “rigidity in space”.
This rigidity allows the rotor to overcome normal system frictions encountered by such system
elements as bearings, brushes and sliprings. A self contained erection system continuously and
precisely corrects (erects) the rotor’s spin axis perpendicular (vertical) to the earth.
Mechanically coupled to the stabilized datum are pitch and roll visual presentations. An aircraft’s
pitch motion is visually annunciated by the pitch displays orientation relative to a symbolic airplane.
Angular movements are displayed via a roll display orientation relative to a stationary index. The
relative motion of the miniature airplane with respect to the pitch display symbol indicates pitch
motion.
Refer to exploded view drawings of illustrated parts section for identification of major
subassemblies and components.
The function center of this instrument is an accurately balanced, high-speed rotor, which is
mounted on precision bearings inside an enclosed housing. The Rotor Housing (also referred to
as the pitch axis of the gyro) is suspended from bearings mounted in the roll Gimbal Assembly
and is free to pivot up to +/- 85 degrees (in reference to the roll gimbal) where it will then be
limited by physical stops. In turn, the complete gyro assembly is suspended from bearings in
the rear of the instrument, so that the over-all assembly has 360° freedom about the instrument’s
longitudinal axis.
The rotor is driven by 400Hz single-phase power provided to the rotor from an internal inverter.
This rotor assembly consists of an inertia ring and spinning mass, outside a concentric rotor coil
assembly. The inner stator core generates a rotating magnetic field, which spins an outer
hysteresis ring affixed to the inertia ring at close to synchronous speed. This speed is defined
by the frequency of the AC voltages applied to the stator coils. The nominal AC frequency is
400Hz, yielding a operating speed of around 22,000-RPM. Further information on the
electronics and printed circuit board assembly will be found in the electronics paragraph.
Rotor drive voltage is applied to leads inside the gimbal support shaft, through a brush block
and slip ring assembly at the rear of the instrument. Internal wiring is then routed through the
gimbal to a second Brush Block and Slip Ring Assembly. Three leads carry the drive voltage
from the slip ring assembly down through a center shaft in the rotor housing to the stator
windings. The rotor and hysteresis armature ring is mounted around the stator on precision
bearings so that when power is applied to the stator, the desired rotor movement is achieved.
Small impellers are affixed to the top and bottom of a spinning rotor to generate airflow that is
required for the self-erection system.

B. Electronics
The following provides detailed analysis of printed circuits which implement electronics
functions for the Model 1100-( ) Attitude Indicator.
A stationary stator and spinning inertia ring are combined to constitute a “split-phase”
hysteresis motor. The stator coil assembly has two multi-tum windings, which must be supplied
with two-phase AC power.
There is a PCB Assembly for each of the two different aircraft electrical systems input voltages,
14.0 Vac and 28.0 Vdc. For DC input power systems, the PCB electronics are necessary to
produce rotor drive signals.
C. Circuit Description
For the following discussion, refer to Figure 3 Schematic Diagram PCB Assembly (800-0177-
901 and -902). Numbers enclosed in circles are entry or exit points on the printed circuit card
assembly, and used for reference purposes only.
As described earlier, it is necessary to derive two phase AC power from a DC input power
source. The required stator drive waveforms are two variable duty cycle square waves, which
are phase shifted 90 degrees in time from each other. DC Attitude Indicators employ an
inverter circuit which converts regulated and filtered DC input power into two-phase AC power.
The same PWM inverter circuit architecture is used for both 14.0 Vdc and 28.0 Vdc gyros.

Pulse width modulator chip IC 1 controls power conversion. The frequency of output AC is
determined by the frequency of its internal oscillator. Outputs of the PWM chip control
switching ON and OFF of a power H-bridge. In addition, a +5.0 Vdc reference voltage is
provided, which is used in controlling waveform pulse width at Pin 2.
Transistors QI, Q2, Q3 and Q4 are power Darlington pairs configured as a power H-bridge.
Output voltages of the PWM chip control the H-bridge. Pins 11, 14, 12 and 13 provide logic
signals to control QI, Q2, Q3, and Q4 respectively. The PWM chip alternately turns on QI plus
Q3 acting as one source-sink pair and Q4 plus Q2 as the other source-sink pair. When Q1/Q3 is
turned ON for a predetermined time and Q2/Q4 is OFF, current flows through gyro windings
from left to right. When Q2/Q4 is turned ON and Q1/Q3 is OFF, current flows from right to
left.
When the H-bridge combination of Q4/Q2 source-sinks current, Phase 1 stator winding is
driven to the V++ supply rail (minus approximately one volt) while stator common is driven to
ground potential (plus approximately one volt). After a predetermined time interval, the PWM
turns OFF Q4/Q2, waits a prescribed dead time, and turns ON Q1/Q3. As the H-bridge
combination of Q1/Q3 source-sinks current, stator common is driven to the V++ supply rail
(minus approximately one volt) while Phase 1 of the stator winding is driven to ground potential
(plus approximately one volt).
Source-sinking of current between Q1/Q3 and Q4/Q2 alternates at a rate of 800 times per
second to yield a nominal AC frequency of 400 Hz. The alternation rate is set by the RC
combination of resistor R14 and capacitor C4, which determines the operating frequency of a
sawtooth oscillator internal to the Pulse Width Modulator chip IC 1.

An oscilloscope probe connected across Phase 1 stator winding would display the following waveforms;
AC frequency = 1/period T = 400 Hz nominal
Amplitude
◄ Period T — ►
Time
Dead time of the stator waveform (see the above illustration) is set by the voltage level
appearing at Pin 1 of PWM chip IC 1. A higher voltage level at Pin 1 corresponds to an
increased dead time, and a lower voltage level results in decreased dead time.
Rotor power control is a closed loop feedback system. Refer to Figure 3. A voltage which is
representative of gyro speed is taken off voltage shifting capacitor C6, and passed to Pin 1 of IC
1. The path is through rectifying diode D4 and the junction of a voltage divider comprised of
resisters R13 and R16. Pin 1 voltage level is dynamically set by rotor speed - a slowing speed
will result in a waveform with less dead time and therefore more power applied to the rotor. As
the rotor returns to the set speed, feedback voltage reflects an increasing dead time and
stabilizes the desired power.
Rotor speed must be monitored to verify that a preset minimum value sufficient for proper gyro
performance is maintained. Starting a rotor assembly requires approximately 20-22 watts of
inverter circuit power. Most of this power is contained in the stator waveforms, which induce
the rotating magnetic field about the stator coils. Initially, this magnetic field must be strong
enough to set the rotor into motion and then accelerate it to near synchronous speed.
Generating a strong rotating magnetic field requires a significant amount of current, typically
0.6 to 1.3 amperes, depending on the type of stator coil winding.

It should be noted about Figure 3 that Phase 2 current must flow through phase shift capacitor
C6. With a substantial current flow through C6 during startup, this capacitor will exhibit a
small voltage drop across it, due to its equivalent series resistance (ESR). As the rotor increases
in speed, current drops off, less and less current (power) is required by the stator coils to
accelerate the rotor. When synchronous speed is approached, only sufficient current is required
to maintain the synchronous speed. If the RMS AC voltage (with respect to ground potential) is
measured at Phase 2 of the stator winding, it would be noted that as the ring speed increases,
and voltage across the windings also increases. This increase in voltage is the result of less
current flowing through phase shift capacitor C6. Lower current through the capacitor results in
a smaller voltage drop across it, and thus a higher voltage across Phase 2 winding.
To properly operate gyro electronics, a stable supply voltage of the correct polarity, free of
electrical noise and transients must be available. To provide such power, the +14.0 Vdc or
+28.0 Vdc aircraft power input must be filtered and regulated. Diode DI protects the inverter
IC against application of input voltages of reversed polarity. Voltage regulator VR1 absorbs
high voltage transients on the input line. Capacitor Cl and inductor LI form a network to filter
input power and ripple current generated by
H-Bridge switching. Output of this filter is power supply rail voltage V++. Resistor R1 and
capacitor C2 provide additional filtering, resulting in supply voltage V+.
All 1100 Series Attitude Indicators have a power failure flag which appears within the display
window when input supply voltage drops below a preset level, set by potentiometer P1. Wiper
arm voltage on potentiometer Pl controls transistor Q5, which drives the flag motor coil.

AIM Model 1100
1. General
This section of the manual provides performance test procedures and equipment required to
determine the satisfactory performance of the Model 1100 Attitude Indicator. Schematic diagrams
are provided in the Description and Operation section (Figure 3) of this manual.
A. With the exception of the Dielectric Test (Insulation Resistance Test), the unit must be
completely assembled and calibrated with the cover in place.
B. Unless otherwise noted, all tests will be conducted at approximately standard atmospheric
pressure (29.92 in-Hg) and temperature (+25°C).
C. When the term “UUT” is used in the test procedure, it means the Model 1100-() mounted in an
Adjustable Mounting Fixture (see Figure 102), which positions the longitudinal axis at the
required panel angle with the connector end down.
D. It is recommended that a test table vibrator be set-up for conducting Final Erection,
Verticality, Erection Rates and Slip Indicator Alignment & Operation tests. Apply vibration to
the unit up to, but not exceeding, 0.005-inch double amplitude at a frequency of 25 to 33 Hz.
E. Throughout this procedure, whenever the term “level” is used it is defined as the unit under test
leveled within 0.1° in reference to its mounting provisions and with appropriate compensation
for panel tilt.
F. The term “Scorsby” refers to a leveled Scorsby Table set for approximately ± 7.5° of
displacement (in pitch, roll and yaw) and cycling at approximately 5 to7 oscillations per minute.
H. The symbolic airplane’s center dot and wings must be aligned with the 90° indices of the roll
display for Initial Erection, Final Erection Verticality, and Erection Rates tests.
A. Locally build a test panel and cable assembly to accommodate the diagrams in Figure 101.
Cable length should be approximately 48.0 ± 4.0 inches to provide for indicator movement
during testing. Use AWG 22 to 24 wire for construction.
B. Units 1100-14 must be set-up with 14.0 ± 0.1 Vdc input power. Lighting voltage should be set
for 4.5 volts, 14 volts or 28.0 volts AC or DC, dependent upon lighting requirements (see Figure
5, page 13/14).
Units 1100-28 must be set-up with 28.0 ±0.1 Vdc input power. Lighting voltage should be set
for 5.0 volts, 14.0 volts or 28.0 volts AC or DC, dependent upon lighting requirements (see
Figure 6, page 15/16).
Unit 1100-28(0)CES must be set-up with 28.0 ±0.1 Vdc input power.

1. General
CAUTION: DISASSEMBLY OF THE ATTITUDE INDICATOR SHALL ONLY BE PERFORMED IN A CLASS 100,000
OR BETTER CLEAN ROOM ENVIRONMENT.
Disassembly of the Model 1100 Attitude Indicator must only be performed by qualified avionics
technicians, and should only occur as the result of a confirmed failure/shortcoming of the unit.
Confirmation and identification of the operational shortcoming(s) can be determined by performing
the performance test procedures listed in the Testing and Fault Isolation section of this manual.
The disassembly procedures listed in this section are progressive when a fault is determined, the
disassembly instructions will assist in directing only the disassembly necessary to repair the unit.
2. Disassembly Practices
NOTE: Disassemble items and disconnect wires only to the extent necessary to inspect, repair,
or replace a defective part or assembly.
Place small parts removed during disassembly is a tray or small container numbered according to the
index of that part to avoid confusion during re-assembly. If any wires are removed from the circuit
card assembly mark, them to allow easy identification and reattachment.
Inseparable assemblies and parts should not be repaired. Parts that are welded, swaged, crimped, or
otherwise attached to another part by other than solder, nuts, bolts or screws, and associated
hardware are considered inseparable assemblies. Plastic parts such as lamp assemblies that have
components glued together where additional glue or solvents can damage plastic components are
considered inseparable assemblies.
Disassembly instructions include reference to parts and assemblies and their figure and item numbers
as listed in the Illustrated Parts List. (example-Caging Knob (2-80))
NOTE: Use heat to soften the adhesive that has been applied to screw heads or other parts.

1. General
This section provides handling and installation information concerning the Model 1100 Attitude
Indicator. 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.
A. Handle this instrument in accordance with standard shop practices that provide for protecting
the Attitude Indicator from electronic and mechanical shock. Additional information for proper
handling, transport and storage is available in Goodrich Avionics Systems Service Letter
SL-IO Gyro Handling, Storage and Packaging.
This model of indicator does not have cage lock capability for securing the gimbal and rotor
housing assemblies. Extra care should be used when the unit is not within the original shipping
container.
B. Original packaging of this product will not permit a shock greater than 25g’s when dropped
from a distance of 36 inches. Therefore, it is best to store the indicator in the original carton
until installation is required.
C. This indicator should perform satisfactorily after periods of storage up to three years, with
bench power-up and exercise being completed at 18-month increments. Units stored longer
than three years will require an annual power-up and exercise. The following represents the
requirements for the power-up and exercise:
1) Remove unit from original shipping container and packaging. Secure the indicator in a
suitable holding fixture that matches the aircraft panel angle. Apply appropriate power to
the indicator.
2) Allow the unit to operate for a minimum of one hour. During the period, exercise the unit
manually a minimum of four times through approximately ±30° in pitch and 360° in roll, at
approximately equal time intervals.
3) After a minimum of one hour in power-up, remove the power and allow the gyro wheel to
rundown for a period of 10 minutes. The unit must then be subjected to and meet to a
performance test in accordance with the TESTING and FAULT ISOLATION section of this
manual.
4) Repack the unit into the original shipping container unpacked in Step 1) above.

"SNAP.” RELEASE "PULL TO CAGE" KNOB AVOIDING A "SNAP" RELEASE.
Cage the indicator by pulling and holding the "PULL TO CAGE" knob in the fully extended
position and observe that both pitch and roll are simultaneous erected.
4. Equipment Location
The attitude indicator must be located, within the aircraft, in accordance with the following
considerations:
CAUTION: ATTITUDE INDICATOR MUST BE REAR OR FRONT MOUNTED (AS APPLICABLE TO MODEL)
IN A SHOCK MOUNTED INSTRUMENT PANEL.
A. The indicator is ideally located in the instrument panel directly in line with the user’s normal
line of sight. The "PULL TO CAGE" knob should be within easy reach. Installations that result
in excess of 30 degree viewing angles may reduce display readability.
B. Compare the space requirements of the indicator with the installation area being considered.
C. The indicator should be accessible for inspection, maintenance, or removal and free from
instrument panel structural flexure and excessive vibration or heat.

The detailed parts list provides illustrations and tabular parts listings for the various levels of
assembly of the Model 1100 Attitude Indicator.
A. The illustrations are exploded view drawings that display separate assemblies, sub-assemblies
and parts in a manner that show assembly relationships. Each illustration is labeled “IPL Figure
_”, starting with number 1, sequencing for each significant and recognizable level of assembly.
Each illustration contains numbered leaders (pointer lines with arrowheads) that identify an item
number to a part (or assembly) depicted in the illustration. Each illustration is situated with a
corresponding parts listing.
B. The parts listing is a table that provides a cross-reference of an item depicted in an illustration to
that of important details of a part or assembly. Those details are useful and necessary for the
identification and, if necessary, the replacement of the part (assembly).
1) Figure and Item Number Column: The corresponding IPL Figure number is listed first to
identify the illustration that the table pertains. Subsequent numbers listed down the
column sequentially, when possible in order of disassembly, are those of the item numbers
that appear on the corresponding illustration. Items listed that do not appear in the
associated illustration are depicted with a dash (-) prior to the item number. Those items
that are lesser assemblies with their own illustrations and figure numbers are listed as
“REF” in the column. Consecutive numbers represent “select” items. An alpha suffix to
an item number (sample: 30A) represents a part with optional part numbers, or a Service
Bulletin related modification or configuration change from the original.
2) Part Number Column: The part numbers in this column coincide with the item numbers
listed in the table and on the illustration. Typically, the first row of this column identifies
the part number of the illustrated assembly. On those occasions when the assembly is not
identifiable by a part number, this line will be blank. All part numbers listed are available
from Goodrich unless otherwise noted.
4) Units / Assembly Column: The value listed in this column reflects the quantities required
for the coinciding item number. The letters AR (as required) cite items that require
selection process as identified in the Assembly section of this manual. Items with letters
RF (reference) cite items that are assemblies or parts that are listed for reference only.
