JA98-001 Remote Mount Audio Controller
SECTION 1 - DESCRIPTION
1.1 System Overview
The JA98-001 remote mounted audio controller is a centralized management system that distributes and controls all
transceiver, receiver and alert audio in an aircraft. It enables the transmission of microphone audio to a selected
transceiver and distributes all intercom audio.
Control commands are sent to the JA98-001 via a serial interface from a Multi-Function Display (MFD).
The JA98-001 audio controller can be used in a standalone ICS configuration or a star ICS configuration with multiple
MFDs to prevent the loss of the entire system due to the failure of one MFD. It provides a passive emergency mode
that directs the primary user (pilot) to the COM1 transceiver, NAV1 receiver and DIRECT AUDIO 1 & 2 audio source.
The JA98-001 is set up on a per-installation basis using a configuration cable and a PC running the product
configuration tool to download system configuration settings via the configuration connector. To facilitate future
customizations and certification, neither software nor complex electronic devices are used in the JA98-001 design.
1.2 Features Overview
The JA98-001 features a 37-pin D-Sub connector, which interfaces with the radio receive audio and crew phones, and
a 50-pin D-Sub connector which interfaces with the power and passenger headset connections. This layout minimizes
crosstalk and follows industry standard interconnect for multi-user audio controllers.
Numerous input and output levels are adjustable, several audio paths are selectable, and alert audio analogue
waveforms can be loaded using the configuration tool ProCS (Product Configuration Software) to write configuration
commands via the JA99-001 configuration cable to the configuration connector. The configuration commands set the
level of non-volatile digital control potentiometers to control audio signal levels and to non-volatile expander latches
which are connected to audio gates to control the audio signal routing. The audio analogue waveforms are stored in
non-volatile voice record and playback devices. The alert audio feature is intended for use as a secondary alerting
system where another device provides the primary annunciation.
The JA98-001 supports up to six transceivers and five receivers.
The JA98-001 has individual VOX gating.
The JA98-001 supports two Direct Audio inputs to provide audio at a fixed level to the users.
The JA98-001 supports a CVR output.
The JA98-001 supports transmit access for three crew members (Pilot, Co-pilot and Passenger 1).
The JA98-001 supports a two channel Alert Generator. Each alert has a separate key input.
The JA98-001 has two modes of operation: Normal Mode and Emergency Mode.
The JA98-001 provides intercom functions for up to seven users.
The JA98-001 supports duplex operation on COM5.

2.6 Virtual Control Panel for the JA98-001
The Virtual Control Panel for the JA98-001 is a computer application that is part of the ProCS™. The JA98-001 Virtual
Front Panel can be used to temporarily select and control an attached JA98-001. The Virtual Control Panel
communicates with the JA98-001 via the Product Control Serial Port (see section 2.5.1). Control data is sent to the
JA98-001 via the control connector (J12) using cable CAB-USB-0007.
2.6.1 Virtual Controls
From the Virtual Control Panel it is possible to adjust the switches 'on' and 'off' by clicking on them, and to adjust the
rotary controls by 'dragging' them round. When the TX control is rotated, the annunciator below the 'selected'
transceiver legend will turn green.
The Virtual Control Panel operates similarly to the JA95-001 Audio Controller. For details on how each virtual control
operates, refer to the JA95-001 Operating Manual.

SECTION 3 – OPERATION
3.1 Introduction
This section contains the operating instructions for the JA98-001.
Although the JA98-001 is not provided with any front panel or operator controls, a basic knowledge of the functionality
of the unit is necessary to understand how it interfaces (via a RS-232 interface) with any remote operating system
such as a Multi-Function Display (MFD).
For selection of receivers, transceivers and other controls, refer to the MFD manual.
3.2 Normal Mode of Operation
The JA98-001 is in Normal mode when aircraft electrical power is applied to the POWER INPUT and Pin 1 of J12 is
connected to ground.
3.2.1 Receiving
The MFD controls which transceivers and receivers are selected for receive operation. When receive audio is input to
the JA98-001 on a transceiver or receiver that has been selected, the incoming audio is directed to the user’s phones.
The MFD controls the receive volume level. When the configuration setting Mute RX Audio is enabled, the receive
audio is muted during transmit.
3.2.2 Transmit Operation
The MFD controls which transceiver is selected for transmit. When the user’s TX PTT is activated, the unit will key the
selected transceiver. The user's MIC audio is routed to the selected transceiver, and sidetone audio is routed to the
user’s phones, and music is muted for the duration of the transmission.
3.2.3 COM5 PTT Operation
Note: If the COM5 transceiver has been configured as duplex, it can be used with a cellphone or
If the unit has been configured for cellphone or sat-phone use and COM5 has been selected for transmit, momentarily
activating a TX PTT will start COM5 transmitting. A second momentary activation of the same TX PTT or selecting a
different Transceiver from the MFD will stop COM5 transmitting.
sat-phone. Check your configuration with the installing agency.
3.2.4 VOX Operation
The VOX threshold is set from the MFD.
A user’s MIC audio is routed to the ICS when the MIC audio level exceeds the VOX threshold.
A user’s MIC audio is disconnected from the ICS after the MIC audio level falls below the VOX threshold for 0.5 to 2
seconds.
3.2.5 ICS Operation
ICS audio is the sum of all the MIC audio from users with ICS KEY active or with MIC audio level exceeding the VOX
Threshold level.
The ICS audio also includes the audio input on the ICS TIE from other audio controllers.
Rev A Page 17
JA98-001 Remote Mount Audio Controller
Installation and Operating Manual
The ICS audio is output on the phones of each user. The MFD controls the ICS volume level.
The ICS audio is muted during transmit (if selected via ProCS – see section 2.5.2.8).
The IC
o level at the phones is controlled by the ICS volume control.
S audi
3.2.6 Music Operation
Music to the phones will be muted by incoming audio (ICS, Receive, Direct or Alert Audio) or if the unit is transmitting.
When the incoming audio has ended, the music will gradually return to the previous level.
3.3 Emergency Operation Mode
Emergency mode is entered automatically if power to the unit is lost or if Pin 1 of J12 is disconnected from ground.
Note: During configuration via ProCS, either DIRECT AUDIO 2 or CVR is selected. In Emergency Mode,
DIRECT AUDIO 2 will be sent to the Pilot's phones if selected. If CVR is selected, the pilot's phones output
will also be directed to the CVR.
3.3.1 Auto Emergency Mode
If the unit is in emergency mode because power has been lost to the unit, the sum of the COM 1 transceiver, NAV 1
receive, DIRECT AUDIO 1 and DIRECT AUDIO 2 (when configured on) will be routed to the pilot’s phones and the
CVR. The pilot's microphone and transmit key are connected to the COM 1 transceiver. No other function in the JA98-
001 will operate when power is lost.
3.3.2 Selected Emergency Mode
If Emergency mode has been selected from the MFD or from an external emergency/normal switch, and sufficient
power is applied to the JA98, the sum of the COM 1 receive, NAV 1 receive, DIRECT AUDIO 1 and DIRECT AUDIO 2
(when configured on) and Alert audio will be routed to the pilot’s phones and the CVR. The pilot's microphone and
transmit key are connected to the COM 1 transceiver. The pilot is disconnected from the ICS. The COM 1 transceiver
and NAV 1 receiver and DIRECT AUDIO 1 are not available to the other users. All other functions of the JA98-001 will
operate.
