Sensors

Aircraft sensors, transmitters and measuring devices in this category are indexed by exact Part Number and sensed parameter. The range spans angle, acceleration, pressure, position and other input functions used by separately documented onboard systems. A common parameter does not make two sensors equivalent because range, output and installation can differ.

Input devices for different aircraft parameters

Examples include the 15D-60-1 linear angle sensor, 2S-series dual pressure switches, ADIS accelerometers and AUASP angle-of-attack system positions. These items belong to different measurement chains and should be searched by their own full designation. A system name may help narrow the enquiry but does not replace the number on the component.

Range, signal and interface guide identification

Useful matching data can include measured parameter, operating range, signal type, supply, connector, mounting position and associated indicator or processing unit. Reconcile the label and installation record with the applicable parts catalogue or maintenance data. Avoid treating a visually similar sensor as an approved substitute.

• record the exact sensor designation;
• state the measured parameter and range;
• identify the related system or instrument;
• attach photographs of labels and connectors;
• specify quantity and required records.

Search and request the exact sensing device

Choose the matching card to request confirmation of identity, available condition, documentation, price and supply timing. Temperature- and pressure-specific equipment is grouped under Pressure and Temperature Sensors. Altitude and indication equipment can be found in Altimeters and Indicators.
