  • Page 4: Section I - General Information

    Pushbutton switches select one of the communication transceivers for the pilot and copilot position, and allow radio transmission. In "Split Mode" the PMA8000G has the ability to allow the pilot to transmit on Com 1 while the copilot can transmit on Com 2. A fail-safe mode connects the pilot headphone and micro- phone to COM 1 if power is removed for any reason, or if the power switch is placed in the Off (Fail-safe) position.

  • Page 5: Approval Basis

    Intercom squelch is automatic. A 3-light, 75 MHz Marker Beacon receiver is integrated in the PMA8000G. This provides the necessary Marker Beacon lights and audio indications necessary for that portion of an Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach.

    There must be at least 13.8 VDC present at the connect- or, J2 pins 8 & 9, of the PMA8000G for the power supply to work in its designed regulation. Otherwise, it cannot adequately attenuate power line noise.

  • Page 10: Existing Gma340 Installation

    2.4.4 Power The PMA8000G 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 11: Transmit Interlock

    2.4.6.1 Speaker Load The PMA8000G contains one speaker amplifier, and does not provide a speaker load for legacy units. Some units with internal speaker amplifiers, such as the King Radio KX170-series, require a resistive load to prevent damage if their speaker amplifier is not used. Connect the speaker output from the legacy radio to an external speaker load of at least 16 , 3W.

  • Page 12: Swap" Button Functions

    The TEL mode in the PMA8000G is compatible with many telephones with hands-free headset interfaces. A jack can be installed somewhere on the aircraft panel. The wired interface jack is connected with the PMA8000G as shown: A patch cord (3/32” to 3/32”) is available from PS Engineering under P/N 425-006- 7026.

  • Page 13: Public Address Mode

    2.4.12 Public Address Mode By pressing SPR pushbutton for more than 1 second, the PMA8000G will be placed into public address (PA) mode. SPR light will flash letting the pilot know PA Mode is active. In this mode, the pilot will be talking over the cockpit speaker when he presses his PTT switch.

  • Page 14: Storing Messages

    2.5.2.1 Audio Alert Messages The PMA8000G has four discrete messages that can be played when triggered by an external event. The recording time is limited to 5 seconds per message.

  • Page 17: Middle Marker Sense

    Middle Marker Sense A Middle Marker Sense output signal is available from the PMA8000G to certain flight control systems. This function will not operate during the test mode. This output will go to +4.5 VDC ( 1.0 VDC) when a valid Middle Marker signal is received.

  • Page 18: Communications Antenna Installation Notes

    It is probable that radio interference will occur in the split mode when the frequencies of the two air- craft radios are adjacent, and/or the antennas are physically close together. PS Engineering makes no expressed or implied warranties regarding the suitability of the PMA8000G in Split Mode.

  • Page 19: Pma8000G Pin Assignments

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