The UPUA4-1 gas turbine engine analyzer (fig.
12-27) is a lightweight, portable testing unit. The
analyzer instrumentation is attached to panels, which
are mounted in a case. The cover of the case contains
storage space for the analyzer cables and a very
sensitive pressure gauge. Attached to the cover is a
schematic wiring diagram and a speed conversion
chart to convert tachometer rpm indications to actual
engine rpm for the different engines that can be tested.
The analyzer incorporates an electrical system
with associated meters and indicators. Fuel, oil, and
