LIGHTS - INSTRUMENT AND PANEL LIGHTS - INTRODUCTION
Purpose
Instrument and panel lights supply light to the switches,

selectors, and indicators on panels in the flight compartment.
These are the types of panel lights in the flight compartment:
* Light plates
* Indicators
* Instrument lights
* Lighted push-button switches.
General Description
Light plates supply the background light for the panels in the
flight compartment.
Indicator lights show the flight or maintenance crew the status

of an airplane system.
Lighted push-button switches supply control inputs to, or

information for their associated systems.
Instrument lights supply light to the face of the instruments.

Functional Description
Electrical power for the instrument and panel lights comes from
the 28v ac transfer buses 1 or 2.

LIGHTS - INSTRUMENT AND PANEL LIGHTS - PANEL P1/P2/P7 - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Operation
The OFF-BRIGHT control for P1, P2, and P7 instrument and

panel lights adjusts the intensity of the lamps.
The OFF-BRIGHT control is a variable transformer. The control

knob turns to adjust the voltage available to the fixed
transformers in the captain's lighting module (P41).
The lighting module's fixed transformer supplies a maximum of

5v ac to the circuit breakers on the P41 panel. The 0-5v ac
voltage from the circuit breakers makes the P1, P2, and P7
instrument and panel lights come on.
Instruments that are necessary for flight safety connect to the

standby light system. When power is not available from transfer
bus 1, the lights get power from the standby bus. When relay R1
does not energize, the standby bus connects to the standby
transformer, T2 in P42. The standby transformer supplies the 5v
ac to the lights that are connected to the system.

LIGHTS - INSTRUMENT AND PANEL LIGHTS - LIGHTPLATES
Purpose * P23 right sidewall panel.
The lightplates supply light to these components:
* Panel decals
* Instrument lights
* Panel switches.
Physical Description
The lamps are a part of the lightplates. The back of the

lightplates have an electrical connector on a printed circuit
board. The incandescent lamps are in a parallel circuit. The
lightplate continues to supply light if one lamp has a failure.
The front of the lightplates have etched letters and openings for
selector switches and indicator lights. These openings let the
lamps on the circuit board to supply light to the front of the
panels.
Location
There are integral panel lights in the lightplates on these

panels:
* P1 captain instrument panel

* P2 center instrument panel
* P3 first officer instrument panel
* P5 overhead panels
* P7 lightshield panel
* P8 aft electronics panel

LIGHTS - INSTRUMENT AND PANEL LIGHTS - MASTER WARNING AND CAUTION LIGHTS
Purpose See the chapters and sections in AMM PART I for each
annunciator function.
The system status information is on the flight compartment
panels. The master warning and caution lights provide a central Training Information Point
location for information for the crew about alarms and faults for
various systems. Do not leave the MASTER CAUTION lights on when they are not
necessary. Excessive heat can distort the lenses.
Location
The master warning and caution lights are on the P7 glareshield

panel.
General Description
The two MASTER CAUTION lights are amber. They both come
on whenever one of the annunciator lights comes on. The lights
are push-to-reset. This makes the MASTER CAUTION and
annunciator light go out.
The annunciators are two amber blocks of six lights each. Each
light shows the system that has the fault. Push either
annunciator for a test of all annunciators and the MASTER
CAUTION lights.
If a fault is detected, the particular annunciator and the two

MASTER CAUTION lights come on. The lights go out by a push
of either of the MASTER CAUTION lights.
Push either annunciator block to recall the light for the system
that has the fault.

energized.
When 28v ac power from transfer bus is not present, the relays
deenergize. This connects the 28v ac standby bus to the auto
transformer in the P42 panel. From the auto transformer, 5v ac
goes to the instrument and panel lights on P1, P2, and P3
panels.

Purpose
The standby compass light supplies light to the standby

compass card.
Location
The standby compass light is part of the standby compass. It is

forward of the P5 panel.
Operation
A three-position switch controls the standby compass light. The

switch has these positions:
* OFF - no power to the light

* DIM - light on in the dim mode
* BRIGHT - light on in the bright mode.
Power to the standy compass light comes from the 28v dc

battery bus. When the standby compass light switch is in the
BRT position, 28v dc goes to the lamp. When the switch is in the
DIM position, a resistor decreases power to the lamp. When the
switch is in the OFF position, there is no power to the lamp.

The master dim and test (MD&T) system lets you do these
tasks:
* Do a test of the flight compartment annunciators and lighted

push-button switches
* Set annunciators and lighted push-button switches to the
bright or dim mode.

Location
A master dim and test switch (TEST/BRT/DIM) is on the P1 main

instrument panel. The annunciation and dimming module is in
the P6 circuit breaker panel together with relays and modules
for the master dim and test system.
Interface
The MD&T system controls the bright, dim, and test of lights in
these panels in the flight compartment:

Functional Description Training Information Point
The flight compartment indicating lights are on various panels. The fire warning system has its own test switch on the P8 panel.
The lights are one of these two types:
* Ground seeking
* Power seeking.
The ground seeking light has power and the ground is
connected by the action of the system the light monitors.
The power seeking light has ground and the power is connected
by the action of the system the light monitors.
The indicating lights (red, amber, blue, and green) are press-to-
test. The lights can be bright or dim by the master dim and test
(MD&T) switch on the P1-3 panel.
When the MD&T switch is in the bright (BRT) position, relays

R33 and R34 are deenergized. Power for the ground seeking
lights and ground for the power seeking lights goes through
relay R33. When the MD&T switch is in the DIM position, relay
R34 energizes and power and ground goes through the zener
diodes.
In the TEST position, relay R33 energizes. This supplies power

and ground to make all of the indicating lights come on bright.

Operation
You use a three-position rotary switch to control the entry lights.

This switch is on the P13 forward attendant panel. These are the
positions and operation of the switch:
* OFF - all lights are off except with external power applied
* DIM - the fluorescent lamps are on dim
* BRIGHT - the fluorescent lamps are on bright and the
threshold lights are on.

With external power applied, the dim incandescent entry light is

on.
When you move the switch from the OFF position, 115v ac from
the ground service bus goes to the entry light ballast assembly.
The ballast assembly supplies the control logic for the OFF,
DIM, or BRT mode of operation. A control signal from the ballast
goes to the rotary switch to set the mode.
