Installation and Operator’s Manual

NOTE: The intercom harness can be custom made by PS Engineering, Inc. Simply call the factory or www.ps-engineering.com to obtain a wire harness work sheet. The harness will be made to your specifica- tions and fully functionally tested. Harness can be ordered with jacks, or without the headphone and mi- crophone jacks installed, for easier wire routing through the aircraft.

Installation wiring by anyone other than an approved PS Engineering installer, or a PS Engineering made harness will void the warranty, and may result in an unairworthy aircraft.

2.4.15 SIRIUS Satellite Radio Installation

The SIRIUS Satellite Radio antenna (p/n 510-880-0100) should be mounted on the glareshield using a double-faced tape. Clean the area to remove any dust or grease.

The antenna coax is supplies with a mating connector to the coax pigtail that is installed in backplate. Do not remove the ferrite from the cable.

2.4.16 SIRIUS Satellite Radio Functions

2.4.16.1SIRIUS Satellite Radio Antenna

The Satellite Radio antenna, part number 510-880-0100, should be mounted on the glareshield with a clear view of the horizon. Avoid mounting behind any electrical sources, such as a heaters, etc. Route the coax to the back of the tray as convenient.

2.4.16.2SIRIUS Satellite Radio Antenna connection

The Satellite Radio antenna input of the PMA8000-SR must be connected to the Satellite Radio Antenna at the pigtail connected to back plate (P/N 430-890-1481).

2.4.16.3SIRIUS Satellite Radio Output (J2, Pins 29 & 30)

Satellite Radio audio output, J2, Pin 30 (right) and J2-Pin 29 (left) can be connected to the desired enter- tainment input pins directly, or externally switched to the desired entertainment input pins.

NOTE:

If the installation replaces a GMS340, and J2, Pin30, was previously grounded, it must be disconnected. Otherwise, the Satellite Radio right channel will be unusable.

2.4.16.4Sirius Distribution Configuration Jumpers

The music distribution can be configured by the installer to connect the output of the Sirius Module to the Pilot and copilot (Entertainment 1), the Passengers (Entertainment 2) or both. These jumpers are accessible through the top cover of the unit. The jumpers are installed for internal loop back Sirius Satellite Radio from the factory. This internal configuration allows the installer to retrofit into a GARMIN GMA340 installation without wiring changes.

Note: The Sirius Radio outputs have an impedance of 510 ohms. When attaching an external music source in parallel with the Sirius radio, be sure the external source can drive 510 ohms or distortion will occur. If the external source cannot drive 510 ohms, these jumpers must be removed or moved to the open position (one leg open as shown below).

To change the internal distribution: Remove the top cover by removing 9 screws from the top cover. Lo- cate the jumper strip near the J2 connector. Remove the jumper plugs to disconnect the Sirius radio output left and right channels, to the entertainment 1 and or entertainment 2 inputs.
