2.5.1Marker Antenna Installation

A marker beacon antenna, appropriate to the type and speed of the aircraft, is required (not included). Re- fer to aircraft and antenna manufacturer's installation instructions, as well as AC43.13-2A (or later revi- sion), Chapter 3, for information on proper antenna installation techniques. The marker beacon antenna must be mounted on the bottom of the aircraft.

2.5.2External Marker Lights

For installations that require external marker beacon lights, there are three outputs that can drive 12-Volt lamps only. The external output lamps are driven high (typically +9 VDC ±1.5 VDC unloaded, at MAX brightness) when active. Maximum source current per lamp is 125 mA. Voltage varies with photocell dimming.

2.5.3Middle Marker Sense (Marker version)

A Middle Marker Sense output signal is available from the 8000 to flight control systems. This function will not operate during the test mode. This output will go to +4.5 VDC (± 1.0 VDC) when a valid Middle Marker signal is received. This output is J1, pin 39.

2.6Adjustments

The PMA8000-SR is factory adjusted to accommodate the typical requirements for most aircraft configura- tions. There is an adjustment in the bottom cover that allow the installer to tailor speaker volume.
