  • Page 4: Section I - General Information

    Pushbutton switches select one of the communication transceivers for the pilot and copilot positions, and allow radio communications. In "Split Mode”, the PAR200B 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.

    2.3 Equipment Installation Procedures 2.3.1 Cooling Requirements Forced air-cooling of the PAR200B is not required. However, the units should be kept away from heat pro- ducing sources (i.e. defrost or heater ducts, dropping resistors, heat producing avionics) without adequate cooling air provided.

    Shielding can reduce or prevent radiated noise (i.e., beacon, electric gyros, switching power supplies, etc.) However, installation combinations can occur where interfer- ence is possible. The PAR200B was designed in an RFI hardened chassis and has internal Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) filters on all inputs and outputs.

    Interfacing the TY91(L) as Single, COM 1 or COM 2 The PAR200B/ Trig TY91(L) can be configured to be a stand-alone COM, or as COM 1 or COM 2 in a multiple radio installation. In this case, PS Engineering recommends that the PAR200B/TY91(L) be used as COM 2.

  • Page 15: Intercom Wiring

    2.7.1 Music Inputs The PAR200B has two INDEPENDENT inputs hard-wired into the rear connectors, in addition to the Blue- tooth® music streaming (which is presented as Music 1). Music input number 1 is J2 pins 23 (left channel) and 24 (right channel), with respect to pin 25, and Music number 2 is connected to 26 (left channel), 27 (right channel), with respect to 28.

  • Page 16: Microphone Gain Reduction

    2.9 Microphone gain reduction For installations in very noisy aircraft, a reduction in the intercom microphone input gain might be desirable. The PAR200B has two DIP switches located on the main board that can switch the inputs to a lower gain setting.

  • Page 17: User Setup Adjustments

    Cycling power will remove the audio panel from the user setup menus and back to normal audio panel oper- ation. To access the user setup adjustment menus, turn the PAR200B off and then back on. While the version screen is displayed, push the bottom line-select button (there is an indicator bar in the display indicating that a menu is available).

  • 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 PAR200B in Split Mode.

    Com 2 receive pushbutton indicator light that is located immediately above the Com 2 transmitter pushbutton turns green. This guarantees that the pilot will always hear the audio from the transceiver selected for transmit. The PAR200B “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.
