UH-1N Audible Visual Alarm

PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION

The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the expertise, capability, and experience for the surplus procurement of the UH-1N Audible Visual Alarm NSN:6350-00-459-7701GA, PN:209-075-326-001.  

The UH-1N Audible Visual Alarm Model 209-075-326-001 is a mission essential item used on the UH-1N that receives information relative to the RPM of the main rotor and the RPM of each engine through tachometer sensor circuits. The RPM Limit Warning Control interprets these tachometer signals and causes the RPM warning light to illuminate whenever a low or high RPM condition exists with the main rotor or a low rpm condition with Engine No. 1 or Engine No. 2. It also provides an audio control signal (28V DC) which causes an audio tone to be present in pilot’s and copilot’s headsets whenever a low RPM condition exists with the main rotor.

Interested sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirements. Interest sources must have traceability of surplus UH-1N Audible Visual Alarms.
