The interconnects and connector maps in Appendix A of this manual are generic drawings based on the standard version of the JA95-091. However, if a unit has been configured using JAC’s 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.
JA95-091 Audio Controller - Dual ICS Input SECTION 3 – OPERATION Introduction This section contains the operating instructions for the JA95-091. Front Panel Controls Note: The legends and annunciators are removable and may be replaced with custom ordered parts. For the purpose of this manual the controls will be referred to by the default legend and annunciator names as shown below.
JA95-091 Audio Controller - Dual ICS Input Installation and Operating Manual Transceiver Switches These are five white two-position toggle switches. When a switch is set to the ‘up’ position, audio from the associated transceiver is routed to the phones. The legends (above the switches) are interchangeable to allow customization.
JA95-091 Audio Controller - Dual ICS Input Installation and Operating Manual Multi-function (Transmit/ICS) Switch This is a green two-position centre-off momentary toggle switch. When in the default XMIT/ICS configuration, this switch acts as the pilot’s ‘Press-to-talk’ (PTT) button. The unit will transmit on the selected transceiver when the switch is held in the ‘up’...
JA95-091 Audio Controller - Dual ICS Input Installation and Operating Manual (10) PA Legend This is a customizable legend to mark the PA position for the transmit selector. The interchangeability allows an appropriate name for this legend to be selected.
Note: Numbers in parentheses refer to the front panel controls shown in section 3.2. The JA95-091 is in Normal mode when the front panel EMER / NORM switch (4) is in the NORM position and suitable electrical power is supplied to the unit.
DIRECT AUDIO will be routed to the pilot’s phones and the CVR. The pilot's microphone and transmit key are connected to the COM 1 transceiver. No other function in the JA95-091 will operate when power is lost. All indicator LEDs, legends and annunciators will be dark.
