(10) Set multimeter to read between 2000 ohms and 3000 ohms. 
(11) Move CPT to test position as follows: 
(a) While pressing the collective trim release trigger, raise the collective arm up until the 
multimeter reads approximately 2000 ohms. 
(12) While monitoring multimeter, press collective trim release trigger, and raise the collective 
arm slowly and smoothly at a rate of approximately 0.25 inches per second until multimeter 
reads approximately 3000 ohms. 
(13) While pressing collective trim release trigger, lower the collective arm until multimeter 
reads approximately 2000 ohms. 
(14) Check multimeter and note if there are any linear abnormalities or large jumps of 
resistance typically greater than 200 ohms during travel. 
NOTE: An example of abnormality: resistance reads 2300 ohms and jumps to 2600 ohms 
then back down to 2450 ohms. (Refer to Figure 3). 
(a) Record any nonlinear movement relative to a smooth collective arm movement on 
Collective Position Transducer (CPT) Data Sheet (Briefly, describe in your own 
words what you saw and the range of resistance where anomaly occurred) and 
here: __________________________________________________________. 
(b) If travel shows a change in resistance greater than 200 ohms, record findings on 
Collective Position Transducer (CPT) Data Sheet, and replace CPT. (Refer to 
Section 3. O. and Maintenance Manual, SA 4047-76C-2, Task 73-22-04.) 
(c) Turn off helicopter hydraulic and electrical power. 
E. Determine DECU excitation voltage as follows (Refer to Figure 1 and 2): 
(1) Toggle DECU #1 EXCITATION SELECT SWITCH to DECU #1 EXCITATION on test box. 
(2) Toggle DECU #2 EXCITATION SELECT SWITCH to DECU #2 EXCITATION on test box. 
NOTE: The engine DECUs each provide an excitation voltage in the range of 9.5 to 10.5 
VDC (reference). The engine manufacturer does not specify a field inspection 
check of this voltage, nor specify field inspection criterion since the excitation is 
automatically and internally self-checked by the DECU, which will declare a fault if 
the accuracy is not acceptable for engine operation. The purpose of this step to 
check that helicopter wiring is not causing any excitation voltage discrepancy, and 
to determine if two DECUs are close enough in tolerances to serve as a voltage 
source for the CPT differential signal check in step F. Otherwise an alternate 
means of test using a battery source is specified in step E.(6). 
(3) Turn on helicopter hydraulic and electrical power.

Data Sheet and here (Refer to step O.): ______________ VDC. 
(a) If voltage is outside the 9.5 VDC to 10.5 VDC tolerance range, verify integrity of 
helicopter wiring as follows: 
1. Verify continuity of No. 1 DECU excitation wiring. 
2. Verify pins are seated properly in all associated connectors.  
(5) Measure excitation voltage from TP-6 to TP-4 of test box, recording measurements on 
CPT Data Sheet and here: ______________ volts. 
(a) If voltage is outside the 9.5 VDC to 10.5 VDC range, verify integrity of helicopter 
wiring as follows: 
1. Verify continuity of No. 2 DECU excitation wiring. 
2. Verify pins are seated properly in all associated connectors. 
(6) If difference of voltages recorded in steps E. (4) and E. (5) are within 10 mV, proceed to 
step F. and continue testing; otherwise perform the following steps to use the common 9 
volt battery excitation source:

box. 
(b) Toggle DECU #2 EXCITATION SELECT SWITCH to 9 VOLT EXCITATION on test 
box. 
(c) Measure excitation voltage from TP-3 to TP-1 of test box. Record measurements on 
CPT Data Sheet and here: _________________volts.

than or equal to 9 volts. 
(f) If excitation is less than 9 volts, replace battery with fresh 9 volt battery 
(commercially available or equivalent). 
NOTE: If using 9 volt excitation, switch positions are to be kept at 9 VOLT EXCITATION, and 
helicopter power is to be cycled prior to performing differential voltage test step F. This 
will make the collective positions available on the IIDS for collective movement. 
F. Run differential voltage test as follows (Refer to Figures 1 and 2):
