OPERATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

SCOPE

This section provides detailed operating instructions for the PS Engi­neering PMA6000, PMA6000M, PMA6000C, and PMA6000M-C,
Audio Selector Panel/Intercom Systems. Please read it carefully be­fore using the equipment so that you can take full advantage of its
capabilities.

This section is divided into four sections covering the basic operating
areas of the PMA6000 systems. They are: Audio Selector, Trans­ceiver Selection, Intercom, and Marker Beacon Receiver (6000M,
and 6000M-C only).

Audio Selector (All models)

Figure 1 Audio Selector

Through the use of two momentary
and seven latched, push-button,
back-lit switches, it is possible to
select any or all receiver audio. C1
and C2 are momentary switches.

When selected, an internal backlight will illuminate indicating which
audio source is selected. Because the rotary switch controls what
transceiver is being heard by the pilot and copilot (the crew),
"Cl" (Com 1) and "C2" (Com 2) push-buttons are of the momentary
type and do not remain in when selected. This is also part of the "auto
function." You will always hear the audio from the transceiver that is
selected by the rotary mic selector switch.

The users can identify which receivers are selected by noting which
push-button switches are illuminated. Push buttons labeled Nl (Nav

1), N2 (Nav 2), D (DME), M (Marker), A (ADF), AX (auxiliary),
and S (Speaker) are "latched" type switches. When one of these but­tons is pressed, it will stay in the "in" position. Press the switch again

Upon first application of power to the unit, the Marker enters a self test
mode. The flickering blue marker light indicates a test in process. If the
test continues for more than 10 seconds, or the lamps do not extinguish,
return the unit for service.
