component or system theory and function. When animation is necessary, the requirements of 
3.3.1 .35.1 shall apply. 
Animation provided shall depict system operations 
3.3.1.35.1 Animation 
techniques. 
involving flow of energy, liquids or gases such as electrical or RF signals, fuel, hydraulic fluid, air, 
oxygen, etc., or shalI illustrate progressive action in various stages of an operation, mechanical 
motion or energy, gas or fluid flow. Components may be represented by replicas, outline block 
diagrams, simulated items, cutaways, or actual components. Interface wiring, tubing, ducting, etc., 
between components may be represented by translucent plastic blocks, strips, or lines attached to 
the surface of the panel in such a manner as to permit illumination from the edge or behind the 
panel by means of concealed lights. When illuminated, the illusion of motion or flow may be 
created to simulate system operation. 
When animated panels are used, the controls required for 
3.3.1.35.2 Operating controls. 
operation of the trainer shall be located in one area on a control panel, or, if too numerous, a 
separate instructor console shall be provided. Illumination shall be controlled so that the instructor 
can progressively teach system or component operation. 
Materials used in the construction of animated trainers 
3.3.1.35.3 Methods of construction. 
shall be standard wherever possible. Consideration shall be given to the selection of construction 
methods and materials for ease of replacement and repair. Transparent or translucent plastic or 
laminated fiberglass sheet on which the lines and components are silk-screened or painted is 
permissible provided such methods lend themselves to economical modification, repair, or 
replacement. Maximum use shall be made of the optical properties of plastic, if used, to minimize 
the number of lights required. 
3.3.1.35.4 Ventilation or cooling. 
Adequate means for ventilation or cooling, or both, shall 
be provided where necessary to prevent distortion of trainer materials. 
Lighted line widths shall be selected to provide maximum 
3.3.1 .35.5 Lighted line widths. 
visibility and yet retain symmetry and a balanced appearance. Unless otherwise specified in the 
Detail Specification, line widths shall not exceed 1 inch. 
3.3.1.35.6 Electrical circuits. 
Electrical circuits shall be kept as simple as possible. The use 
of automatic devices for transferring electrical energy from one circuit to another in automatic 
sequence shall be avoided.
