Electrical energy  is supplied by a 28-volt, direct current, single primary bus, negative ground electrical system. A single 24-volt main battery supplies power to the starting system and gives a reserve source of power if an alternator failure were to occur.  Garmin G1000 system have a second battery known as the Standby Battery.
Standby Battery is controlled and monitored by the Standby Battery Controller and supplies power to the G1000 Essential Bus if there is a failure of the main battery and alternator.
Power junction box, (MCU), is attached to the forward left side of the firewall and includes electrical relays, an alternator control unit (ACU), an ammeter sensor, an external power receptacle, fuses and/or circuit breakers in a single box.
Engine-driven alternator is the normal source of power during flight and maintains a battery charge controlled by the ACU. The external power receptacle is used for ground operation of the electrical equipment and helps the main battery during ground start
Main battery and alternator system is controlled by the MASTER ALT BAT switch. The switch is an interlocking split rocker and is found on the left side of the switch panel. The right half of the rocker controls the main battery and the left half controls the alternator. It is possible in this configuration for the main battery to be online without the alternator. However, operation of the alternator without the main battery is not possible.
BAT MASTER switch, when operated, connects the main battery contactor coil to ground so that the contacts close and supply power to the system from the main battery only.     ALT MASTER switch, when ON, applies positive voltage to the ACU and to the alternator contactor coil at the same time, which then applies field voltage to the alternator field and supplies power to the electrical system from the alternator.
Battery is a 24-Volt, 12.75 Amp-hour or an optional heavy-duty 15.5 Amp-hour flooded lead-acid type battery. Either of these batteries can be installed. The battery is installed on the front-left side of the firewall below the electrical power junction box.
NOTE: The Amp-hour rate is based on a five hour discharge rate.
Garmin 1000 Standby battery is installed behind the Primary Flight Display. If there is no primary power source, the standby battery will give power to the essential bus for a period of time. The standby battery PC board is installed on the back of the switch panel. The standby battery PC board controls and monitors the release of electrical power to and from the standby battery.
Standby Battery, if installed, is controlled by a three-position STDBY BATT switch. Normal flight operation is with the switch in the ARM position that lets the standby battery charge from the G1000 Essential Bus. If there is an alternator failure, the standby battery controller will not let the standby battery discharge to the G1000 Essential Bus until the depletion or failure of the main battery. It is necessary during preflight to do an "energy level" acceptance test.
Main battery ammeter is controlled by a sensor found in the power junction box. In flight, without the use of external power, the meter shows the quantity of current that flows to or from the battery. With a low battery and the engine at cruise speed, the ammeter will show a large positive output and a charge of the main battery.When the main battery is fully charged, the ammeter will show a minimum charge rate.

VACUUM SYSTEM

By -
TTP B1-L3 ATA37 Cessna 172 B2-L2   V acuum system has a filter, vacuum gage, vacuum instruments, regulator valve, vacuum manifold,  low vacuum annunciator switches, engine-driven vacuum pumps and related plumbing.   With   Garmin G1000, the source of vacuum air is in the cabin and is pulled through the  system by the engine-driven vacuum pumps. This air goes through the gyro filter at the cabin inlet source  before it goes through the vacuum gage and gyro instruments. The vacuum is controlled by the regulator  valve. The regulator valve is on the aft side of the firewall. The vacuum air is then pulled through the  vacuum manifold and past the low vacuum annunciator switches and then into the vacuum pumps. Without Garmin G1000, vacuum pressure is measured by the low vacuum annunciator   switches in the engine compartment. The vacuum gage in the instrument panel shows the vacuum  pressure. Vacuum gag e gives a direct indication of the

           (1) Initial Inspecton _, inspect the fuel injector fuel lines and clamps between the fuel manifold and the fuel injector nozzles. Use MSB No. 342G,  to perform the inspection. Replace any fuel injector fuel line or clamp that fails the inspection required by the Fuel Line Inspection and Installation Checklist in MSB No. 342G.          (2) Re-inspect after any maintenance is done on the engine where any clamp on a fuel injector fuel line was disconnected, moved, or loosened, and within every 110 hours TIS and after each engine overhaul.

(1) Find two points that are the same on each upper door sill of the left and right cabin doors. (2) Put a level in position across these points. NOTE: Out-of-level tolerance for wing tips is three inches total. (3) Make a note of the airplane's lateral position. (4) If applicable, put jacks in position at the wings and tail jacking points. (a) Adjust the wing jacks as required to get the necessary lateral position. Longitudinal Leveling. (1) Find the two screws on the left side of the airplane tailcone that are in line with water line zero. (2) Remove the screws.
