Let us now look at all the parameters in details

NOTE: The YELLOW BOX is only for the purpose of highlighting.


1. Zone temperature

Each temperature value is displayed in green, when it is correctly transmitted by the SDAC.

Temperature value varies from -99 to 255 by step of 1°C.

2. Duct Temperature

The duct temperatures are displayed in green when their value is below 80 deg.C and correctly received from the SDAC.

The duct temperatures are displayed in amber when their value is above 80 deg.C and correctly received from the SDAC.

A320 ECAM COND page : High Duct Temperature Indication
 

The duct temperatures are replaced by amber XX when their value is not correctly received by the SDAC.

3. Zone Trim Air Valve Position

The arrow is green while the scale is white.


The two letters, C for Cold (valve fully closed) and H for Hot (valve fully open) are white.


Each zone trim air valve position is displayed in green, when the information is correctly received from the SDAC.
