    Stereo Audio Selector Panel with Marker Beacon Option 1 Same as above with Digital Recorder added Where the functions are identical to all units, it will be referred to herein as a PMA8000-SR. Otherwise, the applicable units will be specified. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION The PMA8000-SR-series is a state of the art audio isolation amplifier and audio selector that contains an automatic voice activated (VOX) intercom system.

  • Page 5: Approval Basis

    The PMA8000-SR incorporates an integrated SIRIUS Satellite Radio receiver, which allows the aircraft occupants to enjoy their music A 3-light Marker Beacon receiver is integrated in the PMA8000-SR. This provides the necessary Marker Beacon lights and audio indications necessary for an Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach. A pushbutton labeled MKR allows the pilot select high or low sensitivity as well as test and mute modes.

    Equipment Installation Procedures 2.3.1 Cooling Requirements Forced air-cooling of the PMA8000-SR is not required. However, the units should be kept away from heat producing sources (i.e. defrost or heater ducts, dropping resistors, heat producing avionics) without ade- quate cooling air provided.

    There must be at least 13.8 VDC present at the connector, J2 pins 8 & 9, of the PMA8000-SR for the power supply to work in its designed regulation. Otherwise, it cannot adequately attenuate power line noise. Shielding can reduce or prevent radiated noise (i.e., beacon, electric gyros, switching power supplies, etc.) However, installation combinations can occur...

By pressing the Mute and SPR pushbuttons at the same time, the PMA8000-SR will be placed into public address (PA) mode. In this mode, both Mute and SPR indicators will blink, alerting the pilot that when he presses his PTT switch he will be talking over the cockpit speaker.

    2.4.16.5 Entertainment distribution The PMA8000-SR has two INDEPENDENT music inputs. Entertainment input number 1 is J2 pins 23 (left channel) and 24 (right channel), with respect to pin 25, and is provided to the pilot and copilot. Entertain- ment number 2 is provided to the passengers at all times, and is connected to 26 (left channel), 27 (right channel), with respect to 28.

    Figure 2-4 PMA8000-SR using PAV80 as control 2.4.18 Entertainment muting The PMA8000-SR-system incorporates a "Soft Mute" system. This will mute the entertainment devices during ICS or radio conversation. Any signal appearing in the unswitched audio inputs will always mute the entertainment sources, even though the passengers may not hear the audio tone itself.

In ISO, only the pilot is on the phone, while the copilot and passengers remain on intercom. The pilot will continue to hear all selected aircraft radios.

  • Page 26: Split Mode

    PMA8000-SR Audio Selector Panel and Intercom System hear a beep with each key press, followed by three acknowledgement beeps. This must be accomplished only once and the PMA8000-SR will “remember” that PA is activated. See section 3.4.1.2 to use the PA mode.

  • Page 27: Intercom Volume Control (7)

    All passenger headsets are connected in parallel. Therefore, if a monaural headset is plugged in to a PMA8000-SR Stereo installation, one channel will be shorted. Although no damage to the unit will occur, all passengers will lose one channel, unless they switch to the “MONO” mode on the headset. PS Engi- neering modifies headsets to add stereo capability, using high-fidelity speakers.

  • Page 28: Entertainment Input

    Crew and may listen to Entertainment 2. 3.6.3.1 Entertainment Input As shipped from PS Engineering, the PMA8000-SR is configured to provide Sirius Satellite Radio to the Entertainment #1 circuit, for Pilot and Copilot. Since the audio selector panel has provisions for two sepa- rate entertainment inputs, which operate independently the Sirius Radio audio can be directed to the pas- sengers.

  • Page 29: Telephone Mode (9)

    In ISO intercom mode, when the PMA8000-SR 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 30: Sirius Signal Dropout

    NOTE: The SIRIUS Radio Module will be turned OFF when power is initially applied to the audio panel. If you believe that there is a malfunction in the SIRIUS Satellite Radio, turn power off, and back on. Hold the function button (TEL), press and hold the Mute button to decrease the SIRUIS radio volume.

  • Page 31: Marker Beacon Operation (10)

    NOTE: To turn OFF the satellite radio from the PMA8000 panel without us- ing the remote, push the “TEL” and “SPR” buttons at the same time. If you believe that there is a malfunction in the SIRIUS Satellite Radio, turn power off, and back on to restore audio panel functions.

  • Page 32: Section Iv- Warranty And Service

    PMA8000-SR Audio Selector Panel and Intercom System Section IV- Warranty and Service Warranty In order for the factory warranty to be valid, the installations in a certified aircraft must be accomplished by an FAA-(or other ICAO agency) certified avionics shop and authorized PS Engineering dealer. If the unit is being installed by a non-certified individual in an experimental aircraft, a factory-made intercom harness must be used for the warranty to be valid.
