The 5 second time delay relay is installed in the
overhead panel, and wired between the UP terminal of
the RAMP EMER switch and UP solenoid of the ramp
control valve. The time delay relay provides a means
to keep the ramp traveling downward without having to
hold the RAMP EMER switch in the DN position. When
the momentary RAMP EMER switch is set to DN, power
is directed to the time delay circuit of the relay, while
opening the circuit to UP solenoid. Once activated the
relay keeps power off the UP solenoid for 5 seconds
while power is supplied to the DN solenoid through the
RAMP EMER switch. The time delay relay is energized
only in the down (DN) mode and powered by 28 vdc
from the UP side of the RAMP EMER switch.

The ramp control valve on aircraft with 65 is equipped
with a slide assembly controlled by a handle or
solenoids. The slide assembly is connected to the
handle by a detented input piston. Internal UP and
DOWN solenoid valves provide control by applying
hydraulic inlet pressure to respective ends of the slide
assembly. When the solenoid valves are off, pressure
is removed from the ends of the slide assembly and the
remaining fluid routed to return. When both solenoid
valves are off, the ramp control valve is controllable by
the handle. When both solenoid valves are energized,
pressure is applied to both ends of the slide assembly
securing the handle in the STOP position. When either
individual DN or UP solenoid valve is energized, the
slide assembly and handle are driven into the position
directed by the selected valve, therein setting the
condition of the ramp control valve.
1.
When the RAMP PWR switch is set to EMERG,
power from the 28 VDC ESS BUS in the NO. 1
PDP is applied to the RAMP EMER switch. The
RAMP EMER switch controls the ramp control
valve by distributing power directly to the DN
solenoid valve and time delay relay, through
which power is supplied to the UP solenoid valve.
NOTE
The RAMP PWR switch must be
returned to the ON position if ramp
operation is to be controlled from the
ramp control valve handle.
With the RAMP EMER switch in the HOLD
position, both UP and DN solenoid valves
are now energized, with hydraulic pressure
applied to both ends of the ramp control valve
slide assembly. Hydraulic pressure will restrict
movement of the handle and if physically moved
to the UP or DOWN position, cause the handle to
return to the neutral or STOP position.
2.
The ramp is lowered by lifting the RAMP EMER
switch guard and moving the switch momentarily
to the DN position. The cargo ramp and door will
lower in the appropriate sequence, for 5 seconds
and stop from whatever position the ramp is in.
Moving the RAMP EMER switch to the DN
position energizes the 5 second time delay relay.
While energized, the relay opens the circuit and
removes power from the UP solenoid valve.
With the UP solenoid valve de-energized,
hydraulic pressure is released from that end of
the slide assembly. Hydraulic pressure from the
DN solenoid valve drives the slide assembly and
handle into the DN position.
Five seconds after the time delay has been
activated, the timing circuit de-energizes the
relay. Power is then reapplied to the UP solenoid
valve which directs hydraulic pressure to the
affected end of the slide assembly. Pressure on
the slide assembly from the DN solenoid valve is
neutralized, causing the handle to return to the
neutral or STOP position.
3.
Moving the RAMP EMER switch to the UP
position will stop the ramp from being lowered;
and if held in the UP position, bring the ramp
back up.
When the RAMP EMER switch is moved to the
UP position, electrical power is simultaneously
applied to the UP solenoid valve and removed
from both the time delay relay and DN solenoid
valve. Hydraulic pressure directed by the UP
solenoid valve causes the slide assembly and
handle of the ramp control valve to move to the
UP position. The ramp will stop going down and
start back up. If the RAMP EMER switch is held
in the UP position, the UP solenoid valve will
remain energized, causing the door to continue
up.
When the RAMP EMER switch is released,
power is applied to the DN solenoid valve which
directs hydraulic pressure to the down end of the
slide assembly. Pressure from the UP solenoid
valve is neutralized, causing the slide assembly
and handle to return to the neutral or STOP
position.
