Page 8: Cable Harness Wiring
There must be at least 13.8 VDC present at the connect- or, J2 pins 8 & 9, of the PMA5000EX for the power supply to work in its designed regulation. Otherwise, it cannot adequately attenuate power line noise.
Page 9: Power
2.4.2 Power The PMA5000EX is compatible with both 14 and 28 Volt DC systems. A five (5) Amp circuit breaker is required for all installations. Power and ground wires should be #22 connected to J2 Pins 8 and 9. Connect airframe ground to J2 Pin 10 and 11 only.
Page 10: Ransmit Nterlock
As shipped from PS Engineering, the PMA5000EX does NOT provide cellular telephone sidetone (the us- er’s voice fed back to the headset). Some cell phones do not provide sidetone. In PMA5000EX, telephone sidetone can be enabled by holding the TEL button for more than one second. This setting will be remem- bered when the power is off.
Page 11: Intercom Wiring
2.5.1 Entertainment Inputs The PMA5000EX has two INDEPENDENT music inputs, PLUS a front mounted jack that is connected to Entertainment 1. Entertainment input number 1 is J2 pins 23 (left channel) and 24 (right channel), with respect to pin 25, and Entertainment number 2 is connected to 26 (left channel), 27 (right channel), with respect to 28.
Page 12: Alternate Music Distribution (J2 Pin 22)
2.5.3 Alternate Music Distribution (J2 Pin 22) The two music inputs can be configured in the PMA5000EX. There are two configurations available, inde- pendent, or ICS mode dependent. If the inputs are independent, Input #1 (and the front jack) is provided to the pilot and copilot. Muting modes (SoftMute™) are controlled by the front panel “mute”...

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

Page 18: Split Mode
Installation and Operator’s Manual dio. In normal (not split) modes, the PMA5000EX gives priority to the pilot’s radio Push-To-Talk (PTT). If the copilot it transmitting, and the pilot presses his PTT, the pilot’s microphone will be heard over the selected com transmitter.
Page 19: Telephone (Tel) (9)
The pilot and copilot will also have transmit capability on the other selected transceiver. In ISO intercom mode, when the PMA5000EX is in the TEL mode, the pilot position is in the "Phone Booth." Only the pilot will hear the telephone, and only he will be heard. He will also have access to Com 1 or 2, and will transmit on that radio using the PTT.
Page 20: Ntercom Volume Control (7)
The pilot and copilot positions work with stereo or mono headsets. All passenger headsets are connected in parallel. Therefore, if a monaural headset is plugged in to a PMA5000EX Stereo installation, one channel will be shorted. Although no damage to the unit will occur, all passengerswith stereo headsets will not hear one channel, unless they switch to the “MONO”...

In general, we recommend adjusting the entertainment volume at the sources, and only using this as a mas- ter gain control. However, the Music 1 PMA5000EX input can be adjusted from the front panel, if desired, by pressing the volume up and down keys.
