    ACCESS/A A711 L-Series Installation Manual 09RE416 REV. A 2.4.1 PASSENGER HEADSET CONSIDERATIONS The A711L has the ability to drive passenger ICS in both PTT or VOX modes, but you must consider this: Loose passenger headsets lying in the cabin MUST be properly accounted for. If the headsets are wired in directly, the loose headsets will be a continual source of intercom noise, rattling around the cabin.

    ACCESS/A A711 L-Series Installation Manual 09RE416 REV. A MICROPHONE INSTALLATION All microphone connections to the A711L must be done with shielded cables. The inputs are intended for use with standard “carbon-equivalent” or amplified dynamic Microphones (such as the D/C M1, M4 M7, etc.). Shielded, twisted pair routing is strongly preferred for lowest noise pick-up, but single conductor shielded wiring generally gives adequate results in non-critical or single box installations, although noise floor and cross-talk will increase.

First, they can be run at their fixed intensity at all times, this is done by jumpering J102 Pin 6 (Day/Night Dim I/P) to J101 Pin 17 (28V Input Power).
