The interconnects and connector maps in Appendix A of this manual are generic drawings based on the standard version of the JA10-001. However, if a unit has been configured using ProCS™ software to change switch legends or lighting voltages, the software can be used to generate fully customized interconnects and connector maps for use by the installer.
SECTION 3 – OPERATION Introduction This section contains the operating instructions for the JA10-001. Note: The JA10-001 USER 2 controls are on an optional separate remote control panel, and can be found in the JCP3-x01 manual. USER 1 Front Panel Controls Note: The legends and deadfront annunciator may be ordered with custom markings.
JA10-001 Audio Controller - Ten Transceiver Installation and Operating Manual Transceiver receive audio select switches, TX select annunciators and associated legends These are ten white two-position toggle switches positioned round the TX selector control (5). When a switch is set to the ‘up’ position audio from the associated Legend transceiver is routed to the phones.
JA10-001 Audio Controller - Ten Transceiver Installation and Operating Manual EMER Legend The EMER (Emergency) legend marks the Emergency position of the Transmit selector (5). To select emergency mode, the control must be pulled and turned to the EMER position.
Note: Numbers in parentheses refer to the front panel controls shown in section 3.2. The JA10-001 is in Normal mode when the front panel TX selector (5) is in any of the COM 1 through COM 9 or AUX positions (not EMER) and suitable electrical power is supplied to the unit.
The ICS audio level at the phones is controlled by the ICS volume control (9). 3.3.7 ICS Isolate Operation The JA10-001 can be connected to an external ICS ISOLATE switch that will isolate the USER 1 and / or USER 2 from the USER 3 to 8 ICS audio.
USER 3 to 8 will hear the music audio as via either the USER 1 or USER 2 music inputs, as configured by ProCS™. Emergency Operation Mode The JA10-001 is in emergency mode when aircraft electrical power is lost or if Emergency Mode has been selected on the JA10-001 Front Panel TX and EMER Select switch, the optional control device EMERGENCY/NORMAL select switch, or the optional external EMERGENCY/NORMAL select switch.
If Emergency mode has been selected from the control device or from an external emergency/normal switch, and sufficient power is applied to the JA10-001, the JA10-001 is considered to be in Selected Emergency Mode. In Selected Emergency Mode the sum of the COM 1 receive, NAV 1 receive, DIRECT 1 to 4 and MESSAGE audio is routed to the USER 1 PHONES and the USER 1 CVR.
Appendix A - Installation Drawings Introduction The drawings necessary for installation and troubleshooting of the JA10-001 Audio Controller - Ten Transceiver are in this Appendix, as listed below. Note: A fully customized set of Connector Maps and Interconnects can be created using the ProCS software.
