Section 1.6 (B). If any claim is to be made, save the shipping material and contact the freight carrier. Do NOT return units damaged in shipping to PS Engineering. If the unit or ac- cessories shows any sign of external shipping damage, contact PS Engineering to arrange for a replace- ment.
There must be at least 12 VDC present at the connector pin 21, of the PCD7100 for the power supply to work in its designed regulation. Otherwise, it cannot ade- quately attenuate power line noise. Shielding can reduce or prevent radiated noise (i.e., beacon, electric gyros, switching power supplies, etc.) However, installation combinations can occur where interference is...
Use 2- and 3-conductor, MIL-spec cable as shown. Connect the shields at the PCD7100 end only, and tie to the audio low inputs as shown. NOTE: The harness can be custom made by PS Engineering, Inc. Simply call the factory or access www.ps-engineering.com...
Unswitched Audio Input (11950, 11951, 11956, 11957 only) The PCD7100-I has an audio input that is provided to the pilot headset. Pins 16 (right) and 18 (left) with respect to audio low (pin E) are presented to the pilot headset through an audio buffer.
The audio will only be presented to the pilot’s right ear, in stereo mode. 4. Switch on the PCD7100. Verify that the STOP LED (Light Emitting Diode) shows green if there is a CD in the unit, or the Eject LED if there is not a CD inside.
C modes (see Table 3-1). 7. Verify that the PCD7100 system does not adversely affect any other aircraft system by systematically switching the unit on and off and changing modes, while monitoring the other avionics and electrical equipment on the aircraft.
This section provides detailed operating instructions for the PS Engineering PCD7100-I, Intercom Systems with integrated Compact Disc (CD) player, and PCD7100-P, CD player only. Please read it carefully be- fore using the equipment so that you can take full advantage of its capabilities.
Since all passenger headsets are connected in parallel, if a monaural headset is plugged in to a PCD7100 Stereo installation, one channel will be shorted. Although no damage to the unit will occur, all stereo-equipped passengers will lose one channel. PS Engineering modifies headsets to add stereo capability, using high-fidelity speakers.
