Operational mode
Standby
Standby mode is entered when the system is powered up and the built-in-test procedure has
been completed successfully.
When pushing the EXT/RETR switch upwards whilst in standby mode, the following actions
are triggered:
1. The motor controller is switched ON and pre-charged.
2. HV batteries are switched ON and connected to the power rail.
3. The motor controller activates the propeller alignment.
4. The pylon spindle motor extends the pylon.
NOTE: The capacitors inside the inverter must be charged before the batteries are
connected to the power rail. The message “Power bus Precharge” is displayed.
This action takes a few seconds to complete.
NOTE: The battery latches should always be locked, if not, the motor will crash into
the battery latch during retraction, preventing full retraction.
When pushing the EXT/RETR switch downwards whilst in standby mode the HV batteries
are activated and the 12 V charging process starts.
