EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

The PAR200B is a state-of-the-art audio isolation amplifier and audio selector that contains an automatic
voice activated (VOX) intercom system and serial data control/indication for a Trig VHF communications
receiver. It can switch two transceivers (Com 1, Com 2) and two receivers (Nav 1, Nav 2).
A Bluetooth ® TELEPHONE feature allows the PAR200B to interface the aircraft headset(s) and Bluetooth
enabled cellular devices.
Warning: Use of non-aviation approved cellular telephone equipment may be prohibited by regulation.
PS Engineering is not responsible for unauthorized airborne use of cellular telephones.
For airborne use, the PAR200B must be interfaced with an approved system.
There are four unswitched inputs, available for traffic or EGPWS, autopilot disconnect tones, and/or radar
altimeter warning.
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. Unswitched input #1 is also provided to the pilot headphone in fail-safe. Failsafe will only be heard
in one ear when wired as stereo.
A four-station activated (VOX) intercom is included in the PAR200B. This system has PS Engineering's
patented IntelliVox® circuitry that eliminates manual adjustments. The intercom system incorporates pilot
isolate, all and crew modes, two independent stereo music inputs with "SoftMute™".
The dual concentric knob on the left side controls intercom volume (small knob) radio volume (large knob,
and radio frequency input. This selection is made with the top line-select button.
