L-1011 Trainer Installation: Light Plate Power-Up - Continuation

L-1011 Center Console - Light Plate Power-Up

Today was a busy sim building day. Jim Blasco and myself mounted the 5VDC 120A power supply we talked about in the last posting into the simulator and cabled the supply to the circuit breaker boards. While this sounds like a pretty tribal task, it actually took us several hours to it it all into place.

Certain groups of light plates as well as in some cases single light plates have their own circuit breakers. For example, the aft center console light plates are split over to different circuit breakers located on the CB2 panel.

Below shows the first F/E station light plate that is now permanently cabled in; it is the light plate for the Electrical System panel.
