Intercom Operation - PS Engineering PDA360EX Pilot's Manual And Operation Manual

NOTE: Switched Inputs can be renamed at the configuration set up.
See page 13 for more information.
In SPLIT mode, only the pilot will hear selected navigation audio.

Intercom Operation (7)

No adjustment of the IntelliVox® squelch control is necessary.
Through individual signal processing, the ambient noise appearing in
all six microphones is constantly being sampled. Non-voice signals
are blocked. When someone speaks, only their microphone circuit
opens, placing their voice on the intercom.
The system is designed to block continuous tones; therefore people
humming or whistling in monotone may be blocked after a few mo-
ments.
For consistent performance, any headset microphone must be placed
within ¼-inch of your lips, preferably against them. (ref: RTCA/DO-
214A, 1.3.1.1 (a)).
NOTE
It is also a good idea to keep the microphone out of a direct wind
path. Moving your head through a vent air stream may cause the In-
telliVox® to open momentarily. This is normal.
The IntelliVox® is designed to work with normal aircraft cabin noise
levels (70 dB and above). It loves airplane noise! Therefore, it may
not recognize speech and clip syllables in a quiet cabin, such as in the
hangar, or without the engine running. This is normal.
For optimum microphone performance, PS Engineering recommends
installation of a Microphone Muff Kit from Oregon Aero (1-800-888-
6910). This will not only optimize VOX performance, but will im-
prove the overall clarity of all your communications.
Intercom Volume Control (1)
The smaller inner volume control knob adjusts the loudness of the
intercom for the pilot and copilot. It has no effect on selected radio
levels, music input levels or passengers' volume level.
The outer, larger volume control knob controls intercom volume for
the passengers. It has no effect on radio or music levels. (Music can
be adjusted independently from a dedicated music menu) When the
volume knobs are moved, the green volume bar indicator will show
the level of the changing intercom volume.
