DV-15MV Series 2

Barometric altitude measurement by DV-15MV Series 2

The main function of the DV-15MV Series 2 is to convert atmospheric pressure into an electrical output signal. As the aircraft climbs or descends, static pressure changes, and the sensor generates a corresponding signal for onboard processing. This allows the aircraft system to register altitude as one of the recorded flight parameters. If altitude data is incorrect, the fault should not be linked to the sensor alone. The static pressure line, fittings, wiring, connector, power supply and receiving equipment must also be checked.

DV-15MV Series 2 in flight data recording systems

The DV-15MV Series 2 is used in onboard flight parameter recording systems, including equipment such as MSRP-12-96. In this role, the sensor provides altitude data to the recorder, where it becomes part of the aircraft flight parameter archive. This information may be used after flight for technical analysis, operational monitoring or investigation of abnormal events. The value of the recorded altitude channel depends on the condition of the complete measurement path, not only on the sensor itself.

DV-15MV Series 2 in air data equipment

The sensor may also be used in aircraft air data and measurement systems where barometric altitude information is required. It works with the static pressure system and transmits an electrical signal to the connected onboard equipment. Depending on aircraft configuration, the sensor can be part of a pilot-navigation complex, a flight data recorder channel or another measurement system. Exact applicability should be confirmed by the aircraft equipment list, wiring diagram and technical documentation for the installed system.

Operating principle of the DV-15MV Series 2 sensor

The DV-15MV Series 2 works by sensing atmospheric pressure and converting it into an electrical signal. Supplied reference data also includes parameters such as operating current, rotational speed and rated torque. These values should be checked against the passport for the exact execution, because some references may describe the electromechanical conversion section or related unit characteristics. For replacement or repair, the passport and aircraft maintenance documentation should be treated as the main source for final verification.

Operating conditions of DV-15MV Series 2

The DV-15MV Series 2 is designed for aviation operating conditions, including low temperature, elevated temperature and vibration loads typical of onboard equipment. The supplied technical data gives an operating temperature range from −60 to +85 °C. Before using the unit as a replacement, the exact series and execution should be checked, because similar altitude sensors may have different temperature limits, electrical parameters or compatibility requirements. This is especially important for flight data recording systems where correct channel calibration matters.

Supply and inspection of DV-15MV Series 2

For procurement, the full designation DV-15MV Series 2 / DV-15MV seriya 2 should be specified. Before installation, the sensor should be checked for correct marking, housing condition, pressure connection, connector condition, power consumption, output signal and compatibility with the aircraft system. Since this is a measurement sensor, external condition alone is not enough to confirm serviceability. Product passport, acceptance documents or official technical documentation should be confirmed where available.
