  • Page 4: Section I - General Information

    The unit is designed for outstanding ergonomics and visually defined mode annunci- ation and selection. The PMA8000E is specifically designed to be used in a dual audio panel environment; where the pilot and copilot positions have independent control over the radio audio control. The PMA8000E units communicate information between the units to make the operation logical and utilitarian, and avoid operations that are inconsistent with radio and cockpit communication practices.

  • Page 5: Approval Basis

    Intercom squelch is automatic. A 3-light, 75 MHz Marker Beacon receiver is integrated in certain versions of the PMA8000E (-0514, - 0515). This provides the necessary Marker Beacon lights and audio indications necessary for that portion of an Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach.

  • Page 9: Cable Harness Wiring

    There must be at least 13.8 VDC present at the connect- or, J2 pins 8 & 9, of the PMA8000E for the power supply to work in its designed regulation. Otherwise, it cannot adequately attenuate power line noise.

  • Page 10: Power

    Power The PMA8000E 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 on each audio panel.

  • Page 11: Swap" Mode

    Public Address Mode By pressing the Mute and SPR pushbuttons at the same time, the PMA8000E will be placed into public address (PA) mode. In this mode, the pilot will be talking over the cockpit speaker when he presses his PTT switch.

  • Page 12: Pa Mute (J2, Pin 12)

    J2 Pin 13 can be connected to ground (or J2 pin 14), through a switch, to set the marker beacon threshold sensitivity to 200 µVolts. 2.4.13 Dual Audio Panel Connections The PMA8000E has specific interconnection between the two audio panels, which we refer to as Pilot’s, or Primary; and Copilot’s, or Secondary. 2.4.13.1 Crosstie (x-tie) Audio...

  • Page 13: Cvr Output (J2, Pin 4)

    This pin is permanently connected to ground and determines which panel is considered the secondary (or copilot’s). This strap must be installed on the copilot box only for proper operation. NOTE: The pilot and copilot PMA8000E units are interchangeable, because this pin alters the functionality of the unit installed in that position.

  • Page 14: Layback Utton Nstallation

    This switch can be located anywhere in cockpit convenient to the pilot's reach. The NO switch should be connected to pin 22 of J2 of the PMA8000E, and ground. When installed, this button will act as should be connected to pin 22 of J2 of the PMA8000E, and ground. When installed, this button will act as should be connected to pin 22 of J2 of the PMA8000E, and ground.

  • Page 18: Wiring Checkout

    2.12 Operational Checkout 2.12.1 Required Test Equipment In order to return an aircraft to service after installation of the PMA8000E, the installer must have access to a Marker Beacon signal generator: IFR NAV401L, NAV402AP, IFR4000 TIC T-30D, T-36C Equivalent test equipment is acceptable as long as the testing requirements can be met.

  • Page 19: Marker Checkout

    For -0141 & -0415, press the MKR button and verify audio from external receiver is present. 2.12.4 Bluetooth Telephone Checkout Verify that the PMA8000E will “pair” with a Bluetooth device, and interface with cellular phone and Mu- sic source. See section 3.12 for more information. Verify that the pilot headset is connected to the cellular telephone system (if installed).

  • Page 21: Audio Selector (4)

    Stuck Microphone Protection The PMA8000E will sense if the pilot or copilot radio PTT remains keyed for more than 32 seconds. When a stuck mic is detected, the key input is ignored, and the other crewmember can transmit normally. If the stuck microphone key becomes ungrounded, normal operation is restored.

  • Page 22: Passenger On Cell Phone

    3.3.2 Cell phone Sidetone As shipped, the PMA8000E audio panels provide cellular telephone sidetone (the user’s voice in the head- set). Some cell phones provide their own sidetone. In PMA8000E audio panels, telephone sidetone can be disabled by pressing the AUX button for more than one second. Cell phone sidetone generated by the audio panel is not available when the audio panels are selected to the ISO mode.

  • Page 23: Marker Test And Mute

    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 improve the overall clarity of all your communications.
