PAV80 Series IFE System

Installation and Operator’s Manual

2.4.2Power

The PAV80-Series units are compatible with both 14 and 28 Volt DC systems. A five (5) Amp PULL-TYPE breaker is required. Power and ground wires must be a twisted #18 AWG pair. Connect airframe power ground to Pin 22 only.

If the Video Distribution Amplifier (PVA802) is used, a second circuit breaker (5 A) must be installed. Power must be connected to the P802, pin 13 only.

NOTE: The PVA80 can power ONE (1) PVT801. Do not connect more than ONE display, and do NOT connect any other type of display to the PAV80 display power pin.

DAMAGE WILL RESULT.

See Appendix B for typical circuit breaker layout.

2.4.3Backlighting

Figure 2-6 Circuit breaker location (Typical)

Connect the 14 V dimmer control to pin 1, the 28 V dimmer to pin A, as required. The display is adjusted for ambient light conditions by the connection to the aircraft dimmer bus. If the radio light dimmer is turned all the way off, the display will be at full intensity.

2.4.4Antenna

The passive AM/FM antenna, part number 510-730-0001 (included) can be mounted wherever convenient inside the cockpit, as long as it is in a window. Verify that the antenna is not an impediment to crew vision outside the cockpit when installed,

For optimum performance, it should be near the windshield. Clean the mounting surface with appropriate means (glass cleaner, etc), and apply adhesive (supplied with antenna). Route the antenna cable along edge

to the glareshield, and then connect to the PAV80 connector. Avoid running the antenna cable near high- current carrying wires, such as windshield heat, etc.

The antenna cable center conductor is connected to Pin 2, braid is connected to pin B.

Some installers may desire an external antenna. PS Engineering recommends a Comant CI-222-L, installed in accordance with AC43.13-1A, Chapter 3.
