    Intercom unit to pick up the sound of the motor as ground loop interference. ⇒ The AA86/87 Intercom should not be connected through the avionics master switch as it is generally desirable to have the intercom available at all times, even when the avionics are off.
  • Page 8: Electrical Installation

    SM48 Rev. 4.00 AA86/87 Stereo Intercom Manual 2.3.4 Electrical Installation The AA86/87 Stereo Intercoms employ a single, common ground at Pins 14 and 15. Ground returns may be tied together and connected to either ground pin. 2.3.4.1 Power The DC power source (aircraft power or battery, between +10 and +32 volts) must be connected at Pin 1.
  • Page 9: Stereo Inputs

    The pilot’s yoke-mounted or other aircraft Push-To-Talk (PTT) switch should be connected in parallel to the AA86/87 (at Pin 11) and to the aircraft comm key input (i.e. audio panel or comm radio PTT input, as appropriate). If the aircraft is equipped with a second (Co-Pilot) PTT switch, this switch should be connected directly to the AA86/87 at Pin 10.
  • Page 10 CD players. When using one of these low power, battery-operated units, it is preferable to connect the AA86/87 to the stereo's headphone outputs (rather than the 'line' output) to assure proper operation of the stereo's volume controls.

    Post-Installation Checks 2.4.1 Voltage/resistance checks Do not attach the AA86/87 until the following conditions are met. Check the following: Check P1, pin <1> for +10 to +32 Vdc relative to ground. Check P1, pins <14> and <15> for continuity to ground (less than 0.5 Ω).

  • Page 22: Priority Control

    Headset PRIORITY When the PRIORITY switch Headset position is selected, intercom users are given priority over the aircraft radios. The AA86/87 muting circuit lowers the radio audio and music level to allow the intra-cabin conversation to be clearly audible. However, since the radio audio is not completely muted, a 'watch' is maintained on the selected radio.
  • Page 23: Music Vol, Music Mute And Isolate Controls

    3.2.3.1 Music Volume The automatic music muting feature of the AA86/87 intercom makes it necessary to set the initial/maximum music volume when neither the radio audio nor any microphone input is active. Alternatively, the Music Mute control may be rotated to its non-muting, fully clockwise position.
