Cable angle sensors measure
angular displacement of cable from center of funnel relative to a/c orientation
What does RMIU do?
compensates longitudinal and lateral displacements for reeling machine installation and pitch of funnel, then provides them to AFCS and mission systems
Each time dome lowering/raising is stopped/started in water, cable angle signals are decoupled from AFCS by RMIU for __ seconds to __
9; prevent erratic helo movement due to waves set in motion along transducer cable as dome starts/stops
Outer and inner rings on cable angle
8.5 deg; 4.25 deg
CABLE ANGLE AT LIMIT
7.5 deg
scale on tick marks
2 deg per tick
Warning for outer ring being exceeded while dome is exiting the water
significantly increased risk of dome striking a/c including rotors which may lead to injury and/or death
