  • Page 4: Chapter 1 Introduction

    Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter provides an overview of the PAS features and capabilities. The Priority Audio Switch (PAS) is designed to be installed between a transmitter site and two control operator positions so they can share a single transmitter. The PAS takes in two 4-wire audio lines each with a Push-to-Talk (PTT) lead where PTT is activated by shorting this lead to ground.

    Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Overview The PAS is connected between two audio sources and a single audio receiving device. There are two instances of this operation, and they may be cascaded to allow for three inputs to a single transmitter, or used independently with two inputs to each of two transmitters.

    RJ-45 E&M Connection Pin-outs The following table shows the PRIMARY, SECONDARY and OUTPUT port pin assignments. The OUTPUT port Audio Out signals on pins 1 and 2 are switched between PRIMARY and SECONDARY port based on the PRIMARY port PTT (E1) input on pin 4. The two right most columns show the OUTPUT signals when PRIMARY PTT input is OPEN and SHORTED to GND.

    Revision A&B RJ45 Pin Assignments This table shows the current RJ45 pin numbers in the left hand column and the older Rev B pin numbers in the far right column. The signal directions are noted in the PRI/SEC and OUTPUT columns.
  • Page 10 If you are connecting a CIEM to the output side ports of the PAS, then you must cross over the signals and you can only use E&M Types 4 & 5. This is because CIEM can only accept PTT input on the M-Lead, the PAS only can only signal PTT by closure to ground, and E&M types 4 &...
  • Page 11: Chapter 4 Operation

    Chapter 4 Operation This chapter explains how to use the PAS. Common Uses The application below shows the PAS used with Loop AM3440 channel banks for remote control of a transceiver from two different locations. Push to talk at the controller positions on the left is passed across the link using E&M signaling.
  • Page 12: Cascaded Pas

    Note: When the PAS is un-powered, the audio path from secondary is connected to the output. It becomes a pass- through of the secondary port in the event of power loss. Cascaded PAS The two “sides” of a PAS may be combined to make a three-input/one-output PAS instead of two independent two-input/one-output unit.
