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.
