Installation and Operator’s Manual

2.9Post Installation Checkout

After wiring is complete, verify power is ONLY on pins 8 and 9 of the J2 and airframe ground on connec- tor pins 10 and 11. Failure to do so will cause serious internal damage and void PS Engineering's war- ranty.

2.9.1Required Test Equipment

In order to return an aircraft to service after installation of the PMA8000-SR, the installer must have access to a Marker Beacon signal generator:

a.IFR NAV401L, NAV402AP, IFR4000

b.TIC T-30D, T-36C

Equivalent test equipment is acceptable as long as the testing requirements can be met.

2.10Unit Installation

To install the PMA8000-SR, gently slide the unit into the mounting rack until the hold-down screw is en- gaged. While applying gentle pressure to the face of the unit, tighten the 3/32" hex-head in the center of the unit until it is secure. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

Caution: Apply steady pressure to the bezel while screwing the unit into the tray to

ensure even seating of the unit and connectors.

Warning: Do not over-tighten the lock down screw while installing the unit in tray.

Internal damage will result.

2.10.1 Operational Checkout

NOTE: The IntelliVox® is designed for ambient noise levels of 80 dB or above. Therefore some clipping may occur in a quiet cabin, such as without the engine running, in a hangar. This is normal.

1.Apply power to the aircraft and avionics.

2.Plug headsets into the pilot, copilot, and occupied passenger positions.

3.Verify fail-safe operation by receiving and transmitting on com 1 from the pilot position, with the au- dio panel power off. The Com audio will be present in one ear cup only.

4.Switch on the unit by pressing the volume (VOL) knob.

5.Check intercom operation.

6.Push the Com 1 Xmt select button (lower row).

7.Verify that both of the Com 1 buttons light. Verify that transmit button LED (Light Emitting Diode) near the mic selector is not blinking. If the LED is blinking, stop testing and troubleshoot the micro- phone PTT installation.

8.Verify proper transmit and receive operation from the copilot position, noting that the copilot PTT switch allows proper transmission on the selected transceiver. Verify that the Com 1 Xmt button blinks when transmitting.

9.Verify that pushing the COM 2 button causes the button to illuminate, and the Com 2 receiver to be heard. Verify operation on Com 1 from the pilot position.

10.Repeat for Com 2

11.Press and hold the Com 1 Xmt button. While holding the Com 1 button, press the Com 2 Xmt button. This places the unit in “split Mode;” Verify that the pilot can transmit and receive on Com 1, while the copilot transmits and receives on Com 2.

12.Verify proper operation of all receiver sources by selecting them using the appropriate button. The button illuminates to show which source is in use.
