PMA8000-SR Audio Selector Panel and Intercom System

Installation and Operator’s Manual

Press the volume up and down (VOL UP, VOL DN) buttons to change the satellite radio volume through the audio panel. This will only adjust the SIRIUS Radio and SIRUIS Radio annunciations, nit intercom or other volume. A beep will be heard when the volume button is first pressed.

The Mute button will silence the SIRIUS audio, but not the audio annunciations. This is not related to the intercom SoftMute™ function.

Pressing the “Q” query button will playback the selected channel number.

To save your favorite SIRIUS channel, press the “SET” button on the remote (there will be a beep), fol- lowed by the recall button (1 thru 6). To recall, simply press the numeric recall button. The audio will an- nounce “Recall channel __” , and then change.

The last channel button can be used to switch back and forth between recent channels.

The SCAN button will sample the audio for three seconds, and then change to the next higher channel.

3.8.1Sirius Signal Dropout

NOTE: SIRIUS Satellite Radio uses ground-based transmitters in populated areas to ensure consistent road coverage. However, for airborne receivers, these ground-based signals may cancel satellite-transmitted signals, resulting in a dropped signal. You may experience interruptions in the airborne SIRIUS signal near large cities. This interruption will be variable, depending on AGL altitude, distance, number of ground- based transmitters and azimuth to the transmitters.

PS Engineering, Inc. does not guarantee SIRIUS Satellite Radio coverage in all areas, or the suitabil- ity of the SIRIUS Satellite Radio for any particular geographical area.

3.8.2Front panel control of SIRIUS Radio

In addition to the Remote, the basic controls can be accessed through the front panel. These front panel controls are located along the bottom row of buttons. Hold the “Function” button

while accessing the other Sirius functions.

To turn the module off, repeat the sequence. You will hear “power off” to acknowlege that the unit is shutting down.

NOTE: The SIRIUS Radio Module will be turned OFF when power is initially applied to the audio panel. If you believe that there is a malfunction in the SIRIUS Satellite Radio, turn power off, and back on.

Hold the function button (TEL), press and hold the Mute button to decrease the SIRUIS radio volume. Hold the function button press and hold the AUX button to increase the SIRIUS radio volume.

Hold the function (TEL) button, and briefly press the Mute button to increase the SIRUIS radio channel. Hold the function button and briefly press the AUX button to reduce the SIRIUS radio channel.

When the channel controls are activated you will hear the voice announce the channel. This will allow you to hear the SIRIUS channel selected, even if you are not receiving a signal.
