PAV80 Series IFE System
Installation and Operator’s Manual
Section I GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Quality cockpit and cabin entertainment has long been an elusive dream in general aviation. From marginal
performance to unapproved parts, pilots couldn’t enjoy the same entertainment in their aircraft as they
could in the family car.
The PAV80-Series represents such a product. This system combines a Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) player
with CD and MP3 capability with an AM/FM radio for ultimate in-flight entertainment capability.
Before installing and/or using this product, please read this manual completely. This will ensure that you
will take full advantage of all the advanced features in the PAV80.
1.2 SCOPE
This manual provides detailed installation and operation instructions for the PS Engineering PAV80-series
of IFE Systems. This includes the following units:
Model Part Number Description
PAV80 050-800-0100 Integrated DVD-IFE System with CD/MP3/AM/FM
PAV80 050-800-0200 European Version Tuner
PVT801 050-801-0100 5.6” LCD Video Display
Remote 051-803-0150 IR Remote Control
PVA802 050-802-0100 Remote Video Distribution Amplifier
Where the functions are identical to all units, it will be referred to herein as a PAV80. Otherwise, the applicable units will be specified.
1.3 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The PAV80 System is a single panel mounted unit that contains a DVD player with MP3 media capability
and an AM/FM radio receiver. It also contains a high-fidelity stereo amplifier to provide the entertainment
output to the aircraft audio system. A single LCD monitor (PVT801) is included in the system. Up to four
external video displays can provide visual entertainment to the passengers, with the optional video distribution amplifier (PVA802).
An 8-digit LED display provides information about the systems modes and media in use. A remote control
is used for passenger control over the system.
1.4 APPROVAL BASIS
The PAV80 is FAA approved FAA-STC SA02707AT and manufactured under PMA. PQ1336CE.
All systems comply with relevant portions of EUROCAE ED-14D/DO-160D (Environmental Conditions
and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment), ED12B/DO-178B (Software Considerations for Airborne
Equipment) and ED- 18/DO-214 (Audio Systems Characteristics and Minimum Operational Performance
Standards for Aircraft Audio Systems).
STC SAAT can be used as a basis for approval in other aircraft provided the generic installation manual,
Document Number 200-800-0002 or later approved revision, is followed.
Advisory Circulars AC43.13-1B Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft Inspection and
Repair, and 43.13-2A - Acceptable Methods, Techniques, And Practices - Aircraft Alterations are to be
used to resolve any issues not specifically addressed by the Installation Manual. Instructions for Continuing Airworthiness (ICA) are provided in the supplied data.

Section II - Installation
2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1.1 SCOPE
PS Engineering
PAV80 Series IFE System
These sections provide detailed installation and interconnect instructions for the PAV80
In-Flight Enter-
tainment System with integrated Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) Player and AM/FM radio receiver.
Please read this manual carefully before beginning any installation to prevent damage and post-installation
problems. Installation of this equipment requires special tools and knowledge.
NOTE:
An appropriately rated Certified Aircraft Repair Station must install
this equipment in accordance with applicable regulations. PS Engi-
neering, Incorporated warranty is not valid unless the equipment is
installed by an authorized PS Engineering, Incorporated dealer. Fail-
ure to follow any of the installation instructions, or installation by a
non-certified individual or agency will void the warranty, and may re-
sult in an unairworthy installation.
2.2 Unpacking and Preliminary Inspection
Use care when unpacking the equipment. Inspect the units and parts supplied for visible signs of shipping
damage. Examine the unit for loose or broken buttons, bent knobs, etc. Verify the correct quantity of components supplied with the list in 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 an
accessory shows any sign of external shipping damage, contact PS Engineering to arrange for a replacement. Under no circumstances attempt to install a damaged unit in an aircraft. Equipment returned to PS
Engineering for any other reason should be shipped in the original PS Engineering packaging, or other
UPS approved packaging.
2.3 Equipment Installation Procedures
2.3.1 Cooling Requirements
Forced air-cooling of the PAV80 is not required. However, the unit should be kept away from heat producing sources (i.e. defrost or heater ducts, dropping resistors, heat producing avionics) without adequate cooling air provided.
2.3.2 Mounting Requirements
The PAV80 must be rigidly mounted to the instrument panel or other structure of the aircraft structure and
within view and reach of the persons wishing access. Installation must comply with FAA Advisory Circular AC 43.13-2A (or later revision). The unit may be mounted in any area where adequate clearance for the
unit and associated wiring bundle exist.
The unit may be installed in any orientation.
Avoid installing the PAV80 close to high current devices or systems with high-voltage, pulse type outputs,
such as DME or transponders.

2.3.3 Mounting Rack Installation
Remove the unit from the mounting tray by unscrewing the 3/32" hex-head screw that is near the left edge
of the unit. Carefully slide the unit free of the tray. Set the unit aside in a safe location until needed. Install
the tray using six FHP 6-32 x ½" screws. The unit must be supported at front and rear of the mounting tray.
See Appendix B.

2.3.4 Connector Assembly
The unit connector mates directly with the circuit boards in the PAV80. The connector (part number 120425-4402 is a Molex crimp-type, and requires the use of a Molex hand crimp tool, EDP P/N 11-01-0203,
CR6115B (or equiv.). The connector is mounted to the unit tray with 2 ea. #4-40 screws, from the inside
of the tray.
After installing the connector, install the connector shield on the back of the tray with 2 ea #4-40 screws,
washers and nuts.
Ensure that proper strain relief and chafing precautions are made during wiring and installation of the tray
and shield.
