Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a
PM2000 intercom! We at PS Engineering welcome you to our family.
Front Panel of PM2000
The PM2000 is a panel mounted, 4-place
intercom that offers features that make this the
intercom of choice by pilots who demand quality sound. This manual provides information on
the installation and operation of the PM2000.
Please read it completely before installation to
reduce the risk of damage to the unit and maximize your enjoyment of its use.
Description
The PM2000 is a 4-place, STEREO, panel
mount intercom with individual volume and
VOX circuits for the pilot, copilot, and passengers 1 & 2.
Although there is only a single control
knob for the volume and squelch circuits, when
an adjustment is made to the volume control,
eight output amplifiers are being changed simultaneously. Likewise, when the squelch control knob is adjusted, three individual squelch
circuits are being changed at the same time.
A 2-position mode switch allows the pilot
to select one of two configurations. The "ALL"
mode places all headsets on a party line, hear-
ing intercom conversation and the aircraft radios.
In the "ISO" mode, the pilot is isolated from
all others and is connected to the aircraft radio
allowing un-interrupted radio communications.
The passengers continue to communicate with
themselves without distracting the pilot.
The PM2000 has an automatic fail-safe interconnect to the aircraft radio. If power is disrupted to the intercom for any reason, an internal
relay will connect the pilot's headset to the aircraft radio, permitting continued radio communications.
A 2-color LED glows green when power is
on and changes to red when someone presses
their Push To Talk.
Provision for an entertainment input allows
the pilot, copilot and passengers the option to
listen to music during flight. During intercom or
aircraft radio activity, this music automatically
mutes to permit easy communications. When the
activity ceases, the "Soft Mute™" circuit gradually returns the music to the original listening
volume. By depressing the mute control (located
on the VOX control) once, it is possible to have
the music remain at the unmuted level.
During various phases of flight, the degree
of importance of the aircraft radio will vary. Because the "ISO" mode directly connects the pilot
to the aircraft radio, select the "ISO" mode when
the pilot must have top priority on radio transmissions.
Both pilot and copilot have transmit capabilities. The PM2000 only allows the audio of
the person who presses their PTT to be transmitted over the aircraft radio. If both pilot and copilot press the PTT at the same time, the copilot
will override. Placing the unit in fail-safe
(turning off) will return control to the pilot position. When either pilot or co-pilot presses PTT,
may need several rotations before the adjustment is complete. When the aircraft radio becomes active, the music should mute.

PTT Modifications
When received from the manufacturer, after-market PTT switches open the microphone
audio path to the "ring" connection of the PTT
mic plug. When the PTT is between the intercom and the headset, the intercom function will
not work until the PTT switch is depressed. A
simple modification can be performed to allow
proper intercom operation. NOTE: This modification does not alter normal operation.
Procedures For David Clark's PTT
1 Unscrew the round black plastic cover from the
jack.
2 Connect the joined black wires to the red wire.
