Subject: Load Compensator Electrovalve O-ring Replacement
Date: December 14, 2012
When installing the electrovalve/solenoid unit on the AS350 load compensator
according to B2/B3 AMM 67-34-00, 4-3 the AMM states that O-rings item number 19 are
included with the electrovalve. However, if you are only replacing them because of a
leak there is no part number in the IPC. The part number to order is 81810-050-24B7. It
is interesting to note that they are the same O-rings for the electrovalve installation on
the main servos and can be found in B2/B3 IPC 67-30-10-02 item 40.

Perhaps you may have recently experienced an LED position light that stopped working
(JPC Aviation part numbers 6490811, 6490821 and 6490841). After your trouble
shooting you had found that there was a lack of electrons flowing through the light
because of a broken wire at the LED position light. If this happens the small crimp
contact (part number EN3155-016M2018) usually remains inside the positive or negative
receptacle of the light and becomes very difficult to remove. If this is the case the
receptacle can be replaced instead of replacing the entire light. The Amphenol AIR LB
part number of this receptacle is 00112020902 and can be procured from Air Cost
Control. There are CMM’s for these JPC position lights available. Please contact us at
Technical Support and we can forward them on to you.
