OXYGEN Panel

Flight Simulation Hardware – Oxygen, Calls, Rain Repellent, and Wipers Control Panel


Overview

This OCRW panel replicates a section of the overhead panel in Airbus aircraft, providing controls for oxygen systems, intercom/call signaling, rain repellent, and windshield wipers.

The hardware is composed of a PCB assembly, laser-etched front panel, and integrated tactile control components including Korry-style pushbutton switches and a rotary selector.

Panel Layout

Acrylic Panels

The OCRW panel layout is logically split into functional zones:

Top Row – Oxygen Controls

  • HIGH ALT LANDING

  • MASK MAN ON

  • PASSENGER SYS ON

  • CREW SUPPLY OFF

Each control features:

  • A rectangular Korry-style illuminated switch (with ON/OFF legends).

  • Vertical "AUTO" label next to "MASK MAN ON".

  • Grouped under the OXYGEN header with visible dividing line.

Middle Row – Call Buttons

Labeled under CALLS, these are pushbuttons for intercom signaling:

  • MECH

  • ALL

  • FWD

  • AFT

  • EMER CALL ON (uses Korry-style illuminated switch)

Each position is marked for a circular switch or illuminated pushbutton.

Bottom Row – Rain and Wiper Systems

  • RAIN RPLNT: Pushbutton location

  • WIPER Rotary Switch:

    • 3 positions: OFF, SLOW, FAST

    • Curved arc label with selector indentation

LEDs and Indicators

  • Yellow SMD LEDs (D1–D45) for:

    • Button illumination

    • Label backlighting (e.g., AUTO, SLOW/FAST arc)

    • System ON indications

  • Each LED is paired with a current-limiting resistor (R1–R15)


Mounting and Assembly

  • 4 main mounting holes for panel attachment (corners)

  • M3 screw spacing compatible with front acrylic panel

  • Laser alignment holes ensure correct positioning of:

    • Switches

    • Rotary encoders

    • Acrylic overlay


Fabrication and Panel Fit

Acrylic Faceplate

  • Engraved legends:

    • All switch labels (e.g., HIGH ALT, MASK MAN ON, CALL ON)

    • Section titles: OXYGEN, CALLS, WIPER, RAIN RPLNT

    • Arc markings for the wiper rotary control

  • Cutouts:

    • 6 rectangular Korry-style switches

    • 6 circular button holes

    • 1 rotary encoder (wiper switch)

  • Color Code (DXF Format):

    • Red = Front Cutouts

    • Blue = Rear Cutouts

    • Green = Engravings

    • Orange = Korry Labels (SYS ON, CALL ON, etc.)


PCB Design Reference

The routing view shows:

  • Red = Top Layer Traces

  • Blue = Bottom Layer Traces

  • Yellow = Component boundaries and silkscreen

  • Mixed use of through-hole and SMD components:

    • Switch headers

    • LEDs

    • Resistors

    • Rotary encoder
