    Pushbutton switches select one of the communication transceivers for the pilot and copilot positions, and allow radio transmission. In "Split Mode”, the PAR200A 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 microphone to COM 1 if power is removed for any reason, or if the power switch is placed in the Off (Fail-safe) position.

    There must be at least 13.8 VDC present at the connector, J2 pins 8 & 9, of the PAR200A for the power supply to work in its designed regulation. Otherwise, it cannot adequately attenuate power line noise.

Some telephones al- ready provide sidetone, and the PAR200A can be configured to disable internal sidetone by placing the DIP switch in the proper configuration. Authorized PS Engineering installers should contact the factory for in- structions.

  • Page 18: Microphone Gain Reduction

    For installations in very noisy aircraft, a reduction in the intercom microphone input gain might be desirable. The PAR200A has two DIP switches located on the main board that can switch the inputs to a lower gain setting. PS Engineering installers call for the Service Aid.

    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 PAR200A in Split Mode.

  • Page 25: Communications Transmit (Xmt) Selection (2)

    Com 2 transmitter pushbutton turns green. This guarantees that the pilot will always hear the audio from the transceiver selected for trans- mit. The PAR200A “remembers” the receiver selection, so that when switching transmitters from C 1 to C 2, if C 2 audio was previously selected, C 1 audio will continue to be heard.

    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 PAR200A Stereo installation, one channel will be shorted. Although no damage to the unit will occur, passengers with stereo headsets will only hear in one ear, unless they switch to the “MONO”...

    This process will be necessary for any phone to be used, and only one cell phone can be associated with the audio panel at a time. If the additional phones are associated with the PAR200A at the same time, only the first phone will transfer audio to the panel.

    Violation of this rule could result in suspension of service and/or a fine. 3.10 Music Inputs The PAR200A has two independent music inputs at the rear connector. The PAR200A also has the ability to receive streaming music from a Bluetooth-enabled device. If both inputs are active, both will be heard in the headset at the same time, there is not any prioritization.
