    G. Storage Capacity The Model FA2100CVR storage media is designated as the Crash Survivable Me- mory Unit (CSMU). The CSMU in the Model FA2100, p/n 2100–1010–( ), contains flash memory with enough storage capacity to allow continuous recording of the four high quality audio channels for a minimum of 30 minutes.

  • Page 73: Data Reproduction

    AVIATION RECORDERS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL FA2100CVR Additionally, the audio data can be down-loaded through the GSE connector, stored on Type III PCMICA portable hard disks inserted in the PI Unit for later playback. The Portable Interface Unit must have MOD-DOT 1 and the FA2100CVR must have MOD-DOT 2 for Audio data downloading capability to be activated.

  • Page 74: Crash Survivable Memory Unit

    Crash Survivable Memory Unit The Crash Survivable Memory Unit (CSMU) is the environmentally hardened memory storage assembly of the Model FA2100. Electrical interface to the CSMU is made by the Acquisition Processor PWA via a single 16-contact connector at con- nector J1.
  • Page 75 AVIATION RECORDERS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL FA2100CVR A Control Unit or Preamplifier is a required component of a CVR installation and functions as the FA2100CVR cockpit user interface; however, this is not required for GACVR recorders. Control Units contain a preamplifier for interfacing the cockpit area microphone with the CVR, and provide a means for activating the test function, by pressing a green TEST push button and observing an green TEST indicator.

    If the SMP is operating properly it performs the task of monitoring the above listed faults in the other FA2100 processors. It detects errors in the Flight Data Processor (FDP) and Audio Compressor Processor (ACP) by checking for protocol errors and unexpected data values.

  • Page 77: Fa2100 Cvr Specifications

    CSMU can be re- trieved. In summary each processor, RAM and programmable memory device in the FA2100 is monitored by BIT. They are checked at power−up and continuously monitored during operation of the recorder.
