    2.3 Equipment Installation Procedures 2.3.1 Cooling Requirements Forced air-cooling of the PAC45T 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.

    PS Engineering PAC45T Audio Selector Panel and Intercom System Installation and Operator’s Manual 2.3.3 Audio controller Connector Assembly The LRU connectors mate with two 62-pin, two 26-pin, and one 9-pin connectors in the HUB45R. The con- nectors are a sub-miniature crimp-type, and require the use a hand crimp tool, from table below (or equiv.).

    2.4.2 Power The PAC45T is compatible with 28 Volt DC systems. A five (5) Amp circuit breaker is required for the HUB45R installations. Power and ground wires should be #22AWG connect power to P451 Pin 42. Connect airframe ground to P451 Pin 20 and 21 only.
  • Page 12: Audio Controller Interface

    Alert power, P451 Pin 41, The PAC45T has an independent alert system with the ability to play alerts even when the audio controller is powered off. To take full advantage of this isolation a separate one (1) Amp circuit breaker is required.
  • Page 13: Audio Alerts

    As configured from the factory for the HUB45R, P/N 050-045-5101, all alerts are level triggered except for Alert 7, the Seat belt Chime, which is edge triggered. When power is applied to the alerts and not the PAC45T audio controller, it will play the message three times or until the remote acknowledge is selected.
