1. Purpose
The Battery Power Supply (BPS) provides direct current (DC) power to operate the escape
track lights.
2. Primary Components
B. The BPS consists of a battery holder assembly and an electronics assembly mounted on
an aluminum chassis. The battery holder assembly and the electronics assembly are
separate, fully contained modules that can be independently removed for repair or
replacement.
D. The electronics assembly is made up of logic PCB assembly A1, regulator PCB
assembly A2, connector J1, resistors R1 and R2, TEST switch SW1, and transistors Q1
and Q2. A cover assembly provides protection from moisture and handling damage. All
electronic components including the solder connections are conformal coated. The cover
can easily be removed for maintenance access. The electronics assembly can also be
removed from the chassis by removing the mounting screws and sliding the assembly out
of the chassis away from the battery holder assembly.
E. All components except the battery holder assembly are secured by standard attaching
hardware. All wire connections are soldered or crimp. The chassis cover assembly and
other exposed aluminum components have a chemical film finish for protection from
corrosion.
G. The BPS is a Line Replaceable Unit (LRU). It mounts against a flat surface with fasteners
through the four 0.192/0.203 inch (4.88/5.16 mm) diameter mounting holes in the
chassis. It can be removed and replaced on the aircraft in less than 1 minute without the
use of special tools.

3. Differences Between Configurations
This CMM covers maintenance of the RPS1-B configuration only. Contact Radiant Power
Corp. for maintenance of the earlier configurations given below:
Two electrically identical but physically different logic PCB assemblies are used in the
RPS1 –B configuration depending on the serial number. Logic variations are covered in this
CMM.
A. The BPS provides DC power to operate the escape track lights. It charges and maintains
the battery holder assembly and outputs 5.7 to 6.7 VDC at connector J1, pins 9, 10 and
11, depending on the presence or absence of 28 VDC at connector J1, pin 2, the jumper
configuration of the mating connector, and the status of pins 3, 4, 8, 12, 17, 18 and 24
(open, ground, or +28 VDC).
B. When 22 to 32 VDC from the aircraft electrical system is present at connector J1, pin 2,
transistor Q1 and charging circuits on regulator PCB assembly A2 provide 300 to 375
milliamperes constant charging current to the six-cell battery pack.
C. Pushing TEST switch SW1 mounted on the BPS will turn on the escape track lights. The
test switch is provided to confirm circuit continuity, the condition of the escape track
lights, and function of the BPS. It does not assure adequate battery capacity in an
emergency.
D. The logic circuits on logic PCB assembly A1 include a low battery cutoff circuit and a
slow turn-on feature. The low battery cutoff circuit senses battery voltage and
automatically turns the BPS off when the voltage drops to 4.8 VDC minimum (5.4 VDC
nominal). This avoids deep discharging of the batteries, a condition that can result in cell
reversal and permanent battery damage.
F. The regulator circuits on regulator PCB assembly A2 maintain the output voltage across
the escape track lights to between 5.7 and 6.7 VDC at a load of 7.0 Amperes. This is
accomplished by comparing the output voltage sensed at the collector of transistor Q2 to
the 2.5 VDC turn-on signal from the logic circuits. The resultant error signal is then
amplified and used to drive regulator output transistor Q3. Excessive current through
drive transistor Q3 will cause transistor Q6 to conduct, decreasing the reference voltage
and the excessive current.

G. The batteries are high temperature, matched D-size nickel-cadmium cells with higher
voltage electrolyte and lower internal resistance than normally available. Each cell is
rated 1.25 VDC at 149°F (65°C) and 4 ampere-hours (minimum) when discharged at the
one hour or C rate. The cells are connected in series by solder tabs, forming a 7.5 VDC
(nominal) battery. The battery pack provides sufficient power to sustain, through the
control circuits, a 7 Ampere lamp load at 5.7 to 6.7 VDC for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Under worst case conditions, the BPS has enough battery capacity to meet the
requirements of FAR 25.812 .Paragraph (i) [emergency illuminate system].
5. Operation
A. To charge the BPS, continuously apply 22 to 32 VDC (28 VDC nominal) voltage across
pins 2(+) and 1(-) and jumper pin 5 to pin 6 of connector J1. A fully discharged battery
pack will charge from 0% of full capacity to 100% in less than 16 hours at 77°F (25°C).
NOTE: Figure 2 gives a general aircraft interface diagram for the BPS. Refer to Figure 4 for
aircraft-specific jumper configuration data and operation truth tables.

B. Set the pilot/attendant aircraft switches to the proper positions for the aircraft type to
discharge the BPS. The BPS will output 5.7 to 6.7 VDC at connector J1, pins 9, 10 and
11, depending on the presence or absence of 28 VDC at connector J1, pin 2, the jumper
configuration of the mating connector, and the status of pins 3, 4, 8, 12, 17, 18 and 24
(open, ground, or +28 VDC). Refer to Figure 4.
C. Push TEST switch SW1 on the BPS to turn on the escape track lights. A successful test
will indicate that the BPS is functioning properly and is connected correctly in the circuit,
and the escape track lights are functioning properly. The test will also show that the BPS
is charged sufficiently to turn on the lights, but it will not show adequate battery capacity
for the 10 minutes duration requirements of FAR 25.812.
6. Technical Properties
Refer to Figure 4 for aircraft-specific jumper configuration data and operation truth tables.
Figure 2 gives a general aircraft interface diagram.

A. Fault isolation procedures for the tests given in this section are provided in Table 102.
The procedures isolate faults to the board level only. With exception of the SIT
components identified in the IPL, Radiant Power Corp. recommends that the PCB
assemblies be returned to Radiant Power Corp. for repair by technicians familiar with the
layout and function of the card. PCB assemblies repaired at facilities other than Radiant
Power Corp. are not guaranteed by Radiant Power Corp.
B. Any test procedure step that does not pass is considered a failure. After fault isolation
and replacement of the damaged component, repeat the entire test procedure to verify
that the problem has been corrected.
C. The most likely failure mode in the unit is one or all of the output line fuses being blown.
These are F1, F2, and F3, (40 or 40A) which are 5 amp “Pico” fuses listed in the parts list
as figure 3 item # 40. The fuses are located between the battery pack and the
electronics “brick”. Remove the battery pack according to the normal procedure to
access the fuses. The three fuses are located as shown below, and on the PCB
assembly drawing on Page 1018.
WARNING: If the unit has a blown fuse, then the most likely cause is a wiring, or
electrical short on the aircraft. The aircraft wiring must be investigated to determine
the cause of the failure. The maximum load for each output line is 2.5 amps. Do not
reinstall the RPS1-B on the aircraft until the cause of the fuse failure is determined.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1. General
A. Testing schedule and procedure should be in accordance with the operator’s procedures
approved by a certification authority. If an operator wishes guidance on changing the
intervals from the operator’s previously established intervals, the operator may contact
Radiant Power or the aircraft manufacturer for specific recommendations.
B. This section also includes sample methods for battery charging and storage when
batteries are to be returned to immediately-dispatched aircraft. Because the Emergency
Passenger Egress Lighting Systems are must-work systems for aircraft dispatch, the
operators should assure that the batteries installed on the aircraft have enough charge to
power the emergency lights. The sample procedures provide the guidance for operators’
procedures.
Battery Packs may be stored without damage in a charged or discharged condition over the
temperature range of –30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F). Long term storage (over 3 months)
should be at temperatures less than +35°C (+95°F).
New stock purchased from Radiant or Radiant’s authorized distributors has a seven year no-
maintenance-required shelf life for the electronics and 38 month no-maintenance-required
shelf life for the battery pack and batteries.
If the components remain in the purchaser’s stock beyond the shelf life, simple inspection,
testing, or conditioning may be required. Testing and conditioning may be done at the
discretion of the purchaser in accordance with their procedures based on their previous
experience with parts in long-term storage.

Removal and bench-testing of 2013-1A Battery Packs is suggested at 18-month intervals for
most operators of large commercial transport aircraft or similar aircraft applications.
Recommended test/reconditioning procedures are detailed in Testing and Fault Isolation
section/paragraph 2.F.
The battery capacity test is normally done with a fully charged battery pack.
5. On-Aircraft Testing/Maintenance
For operators seeking new procedures or using new type aircraft, the following sample
procedure explains what a procedure may include. The operator may also contact
Radiant Power or the aircraft manufacturer for specific recommendations.
(1) Three times per year, the lighting system is tested for a period of 10 minutes
minimum, 15 minutes maximum.
(2) At the end of the illumination period, the aircraft electrical system is powered for at
least 3.5 hours before the next gate departure to recharge the batteries.

COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
PART NUMBER RPS1-B
B. Commentaries
The intention of the acceptance criteria is to minimize the burden put on the operators. All that is
supposed to happen is that the mechanic turns on lights for 10-15 minutes and the batteries get
recharged for 3-1/2 hours.
The emergency lighting system load is 7 Amperes and it must run for 10 minutes by FAR
requirement. This corresponds to 7 A x 1/6 hour = 1.16 A-hr. The charging rate on the RPS1-B is
0.35A so it takes 1.16/0.35 = 3.3 hours to replenish the battery with the minimum amount of energy
required. Normal aircraft operations will completely “top-off” the batteries.
Neither the 10-15 minute time, nor the 3-1/2 hour time is critical. There is a reasonable expectation
that if the times are slightly shorter or longer than required the system would maintain its flight-
readiness.
For example, the batteries will still have more reserve energy after the 10-15 minute discharge
because the batteries have a relatively high capacity relative to the FAR requirements. Thus, if the
recharge time is only 3 hours, the battery capacity will meet the FAR requirements with the
combination of the recharge energy and reserve energy.
If the aircraft schedule is such that it is powered for at least 3-1/2 hours before departure, the
batteries will be recharged. For example, if the mechanics schedule the 10-minute test at the
beginning of another maintenance activity, and then recharge the batteries (by having ground
power applied to the aircraft) while continuing the maintenance activity, the batteries will have the
required energy. There is no need to record the time intervals, just simply note that the aircraft was
powered for at least the minimum interval. In another example, if the 10-minute test is done as soon
as the passengers deplane from the last flight of the day, and the operator knows that the aircraft
will be powered for another 2 hours during normal cabin cleaning and at-gate maintenance tasks,
plus the aircraft will be powered up for 1-1/2 hours in the morning before the first departure, the
“schedule” criteria is met. No data needs to be recorded other than that the battery was recharged
in accordance with a schedule that would provide the recharge time.

Nickel Cadmium batteries exhibit a characteristic called “battery memory”. Battery memory makes
good cells appear to have less capacity than they should. Continuously charging a battery or
partially discharging a battery causes battery memory. Battery memory is worse at high ambient
temperatures.
Battery memory is removed by periodically discharging the batteries. The discharge process
removes the battery memory down to the level of discharge.
Deep-cycling batteries (which can only be done on the bench because the battery undervoltage
protection circuit in the RPS1-B needs to be defeated) completely removes all memory-effect
residue and reconditions the battery to its maximum capacity.

6. Charging Batteries for Return-to-Service
If a stored Battery Pack is to be installed on an aircraft that is returning to service, the Battery
Pack must be charged before the aircraft is deemed ready for passenger service. That is, a
fully discharged battery pack will not meet the requirements of US FAA FAR 25.812 paragraph
(i), which requires that the Battery Pack must provide 10 minutes’ worth of energy.
Charging of the Battery Pack may be accomplished in different ways. Some samples are listed
below:
A. Charge on-aircraft for at least 6 hours. Six hours is the time in which completely
discharged batteries will absorb the minimum amount of energy required to meet the 10
minutes FAR requirement. Charging is accomplished by aircraft ground power, aircraft
idling, or aircraft ferrying. Battery packs in this condition are not fully charged, but do
contain enough energy to meet the requirements; the batteries will be fully charged
during normal aircraft operations of the first flight day.
B. Charge on bench for 16 hours at nominal current (330-370 mA) within the 31 days
previous to the installation on the aircraft and maintain the stored batteries at an average
room temperature. Average room temperature simply means a controlled environment;
no monitoring of temperature is required because failure of environmental controls will be
obvious to personnel working in the area.
C. Charge on bench for 16 hours at nominal current (330-370 mA) within the 123 days
previous to the installation on the aircraft and maintain the stored batteries at an average
refrigerator temperature. Average refrigerator temperature simply means the normal
controlled environment of a home or industrial refrigerator (0°C to +5°C / 32°F to 41°F);
no monitoring of temperature is required because failure of environmental controls will be
obvious to personnel working in the area.
Operators may provide alternative or additional charging and testing procedures if desired.
These other procedures may be done to provide consistent maintenance or battery-shop
procedures between aircraft types, for example. Specific recommendations can be provided
from Radiant Power or the aircraft manufacturer.

The purpose of this section is to provide new users with typical procedures for bench
discharging. Established users should use their approved procedures.
Battery Charge
Figure 105
B. Turn on the discharge switch and allow the battery to discharge until it reaches a voltage
of 4.8 – 5.6 volts. Do not allow the voltage to go any lower. This discharge time can take
anywhere from a few minutes to 35 minutes, depending on the battery’s state of charge.
The voltage normally holds very steady for most of the discharge curve, followed by a
steep decrease in voltage at the very end of the discharge. Pay attention!
C. Once the battery cutoff voltage is reached then turn the switch off, and allow the battery
pack to cool for 30 minutes before charging.

NOTE: These tests may be performed on-aircraft in the event of problems reported by flight crew or
mechanics.
1. General
In response to requests from operators, Radiant Power Corp. has made an on-aircraft test set
available. The Battery Housing Analyzer (BHA) provides quick GO/NO-GO and qualitative
testing for the RPS1-B. The purpose of this test set is to allow mechanics to diagnose the
problems that flight crew or mechanics might report when operating the Emergency Egress
Lighting System or when performing a daily test on it.
The BHA is a portable instrument designed to be carried on-board the aircraft by the
mechanic. It allows the mechanic to check the RPS1-B charger for proper operation while the
RPS1-B remains installed on the aircraft.
The BHA also can perform a quick test of the battery pack as well. This test is not a full
capacity check of the battery, since that would require a 16-hour recharge of the battery on-
aircraft after the test. It tests for grossly under-performing batteries, as could cause a test
failure during the daily checks of the Emergency Egress Lighting System.
Specifically, the BHA provides measurement of the battery charging current, charging open-
circuit voltage, battery no-load voltage, and the battery loaded voltage. The BHA kit includes
the analyzer, a two-foot battery tester cable and a 6.5-foot charging fixture cable. This cable is
long enough that the mechanic can use the analyzer from a convenient location while testing
an RPS1-B in an inconvenient location.

L. Touch-up the conformal coating (Table 701) on the electronics assembly (120 or 120A,
IPL Figure 1) as given below.
NOTE: This step applies conformal coating to the electronics assembly using a
synthetic fiber brush. This is the preferred method for repairs over aerosol
sprays or dipping the assembly in a dip tank.
(1) Fold open the circuit boards and other components as needed to access the
conformal coated surfaces.
(2) Use a stiff bristle brush, plastic blade, or an equivalent tool to remove loose particles,
ridges of coating material, and other defects in the conformal coating. The coated
areas must have no visible blisters, cracking, peeling, pin holes or wrinkles. There
must be no bubbles in contact with or bridging conductive surfaces.
(3) Flood the area with isopropyl alcohol (Table 701) to wash off particles and soluble
contamination.
(5) Examine the electronics assembly under black, ultraviolet light. Identify bare areas,
other than solder connections, where the conformal coating has been worn through
or scraped off.
(6) Pour the necessary amount of Humiseal conformal coating (Table 701) from the
sealed container into a temporary container.
(7) Apply the conformal coating material with a synthetic (not natural) fiber brush. Coat
all solder connections and the nonconductive areas of the PCB assemblies,
including both sides of the printed circuit board, all board mounted components and
their leads, and all exposed conductors. Do not coat electrical and mechanical
mating surfaces, such as connector contact points, screw threads, bearing surfaces,
etc. Mask the surfaces and components before application of the coating material,
and carefully remove any tape residue and other contamination after the material
has been applied. The coating must be 0.001 to 0.003 inch (0.025 to 0.076 mm)
thick, when measured on a flat, unobstructed surface.
(8) The coated areas must have no visible blisters, cracking, peeling, pin holes or
wrinkles. There must be no bubbles in contact with or bridging conductive surfaces.
(9) Examine the electronics assembly under black, ultraviolet light. Identify bare areas
that require conformal coating. Reapply conformal coating to cover defective or bare
areas, as required.

8. Storage Instructions
B. Refer to ASSEMBLY, paragraph 6 to package the BPS battery pack for storage.
C. Store the BPS battery pack in an area suitable for electronic equipment. The storage
area must have adequate ventilation with low humidity, dust, and protection from direct
sunlight and high heat.
(b) The batteries will self-discharge at a rate dependent on time and temperature.
At room temperature of 72°F (22°C), the rate is approximately 1.5% every 24
hours. The rate increases as the storage temperature increases, and
decreases as the temperature decreases. The batteries should always be
recharged for 16 hours at a constant current of 350 milliamperes before use.
(c) To store the BPS charged and ready for immediate use, fully charge the BPS
at 350 milliamperes for 16 to 20 hours and store the unit for no more than 30
days at an ambient temperature of 77°F (25°C). After 30 days, the BPS should
be discharged to the cutoff voltage of 5.4 VDC, and then recharged at 350
milliamperes for 16 to 24 hours. Repeat this cycle to maintain charged
batteries ready for immediate use.
