INTRODUCTION This publication provides operating and installation information on the Model A710X and A711X, ACCESS/A Audio Expansion Panels manufactured by Technisonic Industries Limited. These units are designed to provide six additional communications channels to either the Model A710 or A711 ACCESS/A audio controllers. The A710X unit may be directly interchanged with an A711X in the same harness, but the units are physically different in size, and the A711X has individual volume controls for the receiver monitor levels.
ACCESS/A A710X / A711X Installation & Operating Instructions 06RE387 rev. B PURPOSE OF THE EQUIPMENT The A710 and A711 ACCESS/A Audio Controllers are able to directly access a maximum of seven transceivers. Connecting an A710X or A711X Expansion Panel to the ACCESS/A controller will increase this capability to a maximum of thirteen transceivers.

ACCESS/A A710X / A711X Installation & Operating Instructions 06RE387 rev. B SECTION 3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FRONT PANEL OPERATORS SWITCHES AND CONTROLS This section explains the operation of the A710X & A711X ACCESS/A Expansion Panel Controls, and how to use either system in a typical aircraft environment. Since the controls on the two units differ only in the extra receive monitor pots at the top of the A711X, the A710X illustration is used for all of the explanations, except those specific to the A711.
ACCESS/A A710X / A711X Installation & Operating Instructions 06RE387 rev. B 3.1.1 RX or RECEIVE SELECTORS These 10 push-button RX SELECTOR switches allow the crew to monitor any combination of the Receivers in the airframe system, independent of the setting of the transceiver selectors. The RX SELECTORS have an alternate action, push in to activate the audio, push again to have the switch return to the out position and off.
ACCESS/A A710X / A711X Installation & Operating Instructions 06RE387 rev. B 3.1.3 A711X RX MONITOR LEVEL CONTROLS The operation of the A711X control differs slightly from the A710X, in that individual receive monitor controls are provided to adjust the level for each of the 7 transceivers. These controls normally go to approximately 2-5% level at the minimum setting (not off), but can be strapped internally to go fully off, if required.
ACCESS/A A710X / A711X Installation & Operating Instructions 06RE387 rev. B SPECIAL SIGNAL CONSIDERATIONS There are several special signals and lines related the A710 and A711, which require careful installation planning, and understanding by the flight crew. 3.2.1 SUM NODE This line is used to expand the RX input bus of the A710/A711 control, and allows many supplemental receivers to be attached with high isolation from other signals.
