Nealius Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I noticed a stack of red lights above the altimeter and to the left of the airspeed indicator. What is it? The manual doesn't show it or mark it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG13Wulf Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 We think (our squadron) it's the pitot heat indicator if you talk about this : If it's the red light on le left, I don't know :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Yep, that's the light stack. I wonder what the warning light next to it is too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying-Kane Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 It is the pitot tube heat indicator, but i couldn't find anything about the warning light too. Maybe Coyote or Yo-Yo can enlighten us?

Frederf Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Schauzeichen fur staurohrheizung https://www.kpemig.de/Luftwaffe-Fl-3...cht-geprueft_1 It's a rectangular indicator light, should be for the pitot heater in this location but the same device was also used for transfer fuel pump indications in the 190. The whole thing lights up or not as a unit. Often there was a bubble glass (plastic?) lens in a cover which covered the light and had a label which could be written on. The indicators for pitot heat, autopilot on Ju-88 for example was this indicator with the bubble cover (32525-5 instead of -3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealius Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 The latest Chuck's Guide also labels it as the pitot heater, however it never illuminates even at 8000m with the heater circuit breaker depressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulredrel Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 It was flickering one time last time I flew the A8 during gear transition coming in to land. I guess, there are some issues with the lighting system, as also the gear indicator lights where on or off in a weird fashion. Maybe connected to lighting situation outside the cockpit?

gulredrel Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Update here, I really guess, it has something to do with lighting conditions and some issues. @BIGNEWY Maybe this could be investigated? Screenshots an track attached, I got the light during the gear down transition phase for a couple of seconds or even less. I raised and lowered the gear several times.

S.E.Bulba Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Цитата Gerätebrett-Analyse Gerätetafel der Arado Ar B-1 <…> 13. elektr. Gitterschauzeichen (Staurohrheizung) – Fl.32525-3 Hersteller: Siemens-LGW, Berlin Anzeigebereich: Ein / Aus Ein häufig verwendetes elektrisches Standardbauteil zur Betriebsüberwachung von elektrischen Anlagen. Im Falle der Ar 96 B-1 wird signalisiert, ob die Staurohrheizung in Betrieb ist oder nicht. Das Hinweisschild mit der Beschriftung: „Staurohr-Heizung“ wurde direkt rechts neben dem Schauzeichen auf der Gerätetafel angebracht. In größeren Flughöhen, sowie im Winterflugbetrieb bereits am Boden, musst das Staurohr elektrisch beheizt werden, da es ansonsten vereisen und somit ausfallen könnte. Eine Fahrtmessung wäre somit unmöglich. Die Betriebsbereitschaft der Anlage wird durch weiße Felder (helle Leuchtmasse?) im Gitter der Frontseite angezeigt. Ist die Anlage ausgeschaltet, bleiben die entsprechenden Felder dunkel (schwarz). 2 Abweichungen zu anderen Einbauten dieser Schauzeichen sind hier auffällig. Die Abdeckung mit Lupenglas wurde ersatzlos weggelassen. Das Schauzeichen wurde mittels zweier kleiner Distanzwürfel (Bakelit oder Pertinax?) um ca. 10mm nach vorn versetzt. Es liegt also nicht direkt auf der Gerätetafel auf. Warum dieser Einbau so erfolgte ist schwer nachvollziehbar. Vielleicht war im Rückseitenbereich der Gerätetafel nicht genug Platz für die Einbaulänge? © Cockpit Profile | Deutscheluftwaffe | Seite 2. Sorry, I don't speak English, so I use Google Translate.
