LOGIC SUPPLY The logic supply is a 28V dc supply used to power the Vicon 78 system with<br />
the exception of the firing circuits. This supply is not broken by the aircraft's<br />
weight-off-wheels switch. The term 'powered up' refers to the situation that<br />
normally exists directly after application of this supply.<br />
