PMA8000-SR Series Audio Selector Panel and Intercom System

Installation and Operator’s Manual

Connect the speaker output from the unit to the COM 2 Speaker load input on the PMA8000-SR (J1 27 WRT 28). The speaker load is 16 Ω, 3W.

2.4.6TEL (Duplex) Function for Cell Phones

This mode is designed to operate with telecommunications systems, such as the AirCell Guardian 1000. Audio streams selected by the intercom mode are provided to the Tel output, and audio from Tel is pre- sented to the headset. This allows a telephone-like audio interface.

The TEL mode in the PMA8000-SR is also compatible with many cellular telephones with hands-free headset interfaces. A 1/8” or 3/32” jack can be installed on the aircraft panel, and interfaces with the PMA8000-SR as shown: A patch cord (3/32” to 3/32”) is available from PS Engineering under P/N 425- 006-7026.

2.4.7Transmit Interlock

Some communications transceivers use a transmit-interlock system. To fully utilize the Split Mode feature, this function must be disabled. Consult that manufacturer's installation manual.

2.4.8Patented "Swap" Mode

When a momentary, normally open, push-button switch is connected between pin 20 on the J2 connector and aircraft ground, the user can switch between Com 1 and 2 by depressing this switch without having to turn the mic selector switch. This yoke-mounted switch eliminates the need to remove your hands from the yoke to change transceivers. The transfer of TX indication from Com 1 to Com 2 shows that the swap has been initiated; there is no dedicated swap indicator.

2.4.9Backlighting

The PMA8000-SR has an automatic dimming of the pushbutton annunciation LEDs and marker lamps con- trolled by a photocell. Control of the unit backlighting is through the aircraft avionics dimmer For 14 V aircraft, connect J2 Pins 6 and 7 to the aircraft dimmer bus, and pin 5 to ground. For 28-volt systems, con- nect pin 7 to the aircraft dimmer, and pins 5 and 6 to ground.

If an external dimmer control is not used, a constant back light illumination can be established for night- time viewing. Pin 6 or 7 (depending on system voltage) must be tied to power (J1, pin 8 or 9) for the back
