2.4.1 Noise
Due to the variety and the high power of radio equipment often found in today's general aviation aircraft,
there is a potential for both radiated and conducted noise interference.
200-739-0001 Page 2-3 Rev. 2, January 2005
Page 11
PS Engineering
(Typ
)
PXE7300-SR IFE System
Installation and Operator’s Manual
The PXE7300 power supply is specifically designed to reduce conducted electrical noise on the aircraft
power bus by at least 50dB. Although this is a large amount of attenuation, it may not eliminate all noise,
particularly if the amplitude of noise is very high. There must be at least 12 VDC present at the connector
pin 21, of the PXE7300 for the power supply to work in its designed regulation. Otherwise, it cannot adequately attenuate power line noise. Shielding can reduce or prevent radiated noise (i.e., beacon, electric
gyros, switching power supplies, etc.) However, installation combinations can occur where interference is
possible. The PXE7300 was designed in a RFI hardened chassis and has internal Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) filters on all inputs and outputs.
Ground loop noise occurs when there are two or more ground paths for the same signal (i.e., airframe and
ground return wire). Large cyclic loads such as strobes, inverters, etc., can inject noise signals onto the
airframe that are detected by the audio system. Follow the wiring diagram very carefully to help ensure a
minimum of ground loop potential. Use only Mil Spec shielded wires (MIL-C-275000, or better).
2.4.2 Power
The PXE7300-Series units are compatible with both 14 and
28 Volt DC systems. A five (5) Amp PULL-TYPE breaker is
required for PXE7300-SR. Power and ground wires must be a
#18 AWG pair. Connect airframe power ground to
twisted
Pin 22 only.
See Appendix B for typical circuit breaker layout.
2.4.3 Backlighting
Figure 2-4 Circuit breaker location
ical
The PXE7300 has an automatic dimming of the pushbutton
annunciator LEDs controlled by a photocell. A dimmer control allows the bezel text backlighting to be
controlled by the aircraft dimmer. Connect the 14 V dimmer control to pin 1, the 28 V dimmer to pin A, as
required, using #22 AWG as a minimum size.
2.4.4 AM/FM Antenna
The passive AM/FM antenna, part number 510-730-0001 (included) is optimized for FM radio performance. Therefore, when used for AM reception, the operator may only receive the most powerful
3 to 5 AM stations. In contrast to an ADF, where audio fidelity is not important, the PXE7300 requires higher signal levels to ensure fidelity.
For optimum performance, some installers may desire an external AM/FM antenna. PS Engineering
recommends a Comant CI-222-series, installed in accordance with AC43.13-1A, Chapter 3.
Another AM performance-enhancing alternative is to connect the PXE7300 antenna input to an unused
VOR port of the VHF NAV antenna splitter. Do NOT add another splitter in series.

Installation and Operator’s Manual
The included antenna can be mounted wherever convenient inside the cockpit, as long as it is in a window.
Verify that the antenna is not an impediment to crew vision outside the cockpit when installed,
For optimal operation, it should be near the windshield. Clean the mounting surface with appropriate
means (glass cleaner, etc), and apply adhesive (supplied with antenna). Route the antenna cable along edge
to the glareshield, and then connect to the PXE7300 connector. Avoid running the antenna cable near
high-current carrying wires, such as windshield heat, etc.
Figure 2-5 Antenna Installation
The antenna cable center conductor is connected to Pin 2, braid is connected to pin B.
2.4.5 Unswitched Summed Audio
PXE7300 units have four audio inputs that are summed together and presented to the audio output, J1 pin
18 WRT V.
NOTE: These can be used to implement additional audio warnings when connected to the appropriate
Unswitched audio input of an audio panel. This includes Autopilot warnings, TAWS, GPS alerts, Radio
Altimeter, etc.
2.4.6 Aux Entertainment Audio and AUX Enable
Besides the disc and AM/FM, the PXE7300 has the ability to act as a switching control for an additional
entertainment input (DVD, external XM Radio tuner, etc.).
The audio input is Pin 16 (R), Pin 17 (L) with respect to Pin K.
To enable the mode, add an internal jumper on the pins marked J2, or apply a ground to Pin 20 of the rear
connector.
2.5 Internal Adjustments

2.6 PSM7390 SIRIUS Module Installation
The PSM7390 SIRIUS Radio Module is a remote-mounted unit. This should be located in an area designed
for remote avionics.
2.6.1 Mounting Rack Installation

PS Engineering
PXE7300-SR IFE System
Installation and Operator’s Manual
Use silicone sealer between the antenna and the aircraft skin. Use four #6 stainless screws to secure antenna to aircraft, using silicone sealer to seal the screws.
When routing the coax, avoid sharp bends, kinking or placement near aircraft control, power DME, transponder or radio communications cables. Careful attention must be given when securing the coax to the
airframe. Do not allow cable ties to crimp or crush the coax.
The antenna MUST be located on the top of the aircraft. Typically, the best location is on the aircraft centerline, as close to the receiver module as practical. Installation should be centered between stringers, ± 1.0
inch, with a minimum 1.0-inch spacing to the structure.
Figure 2-8 Typical Antenna Installation
Any shadowing or signal blockage from the aircraft will degrade the performance of the SRR receiver.
Ideally, the antenna should have an unobstructed view of the sky above the horizon.
Coax cable loss not to exceed 7 dB. Select location to avoid interaction with other aircraft antennas. Mount
at least 24 inches from VHF Com transmitter antennas, at least 6 inches from other antennae.
2.7 Post Installation Checkout
After wiring is complete, verify power is ONLY on pin 21 of the connector, and airframe ground on bottom connector pin 22. Failure to do so will cause serious internal damage and void PS Engineering's warranty.
2.8 Unit Installation
To install the PXE7300, gently slide the unit into the mounting rack until the hold-down screw is engaged.
While applying gentle pressure to the face of the unit, tighten the 3/32" hex-head in the unit until it is secure. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
Warning: Do not over-tighten the lock down screw while installing the unit in tray.
Internal damage will result.

SIRIUS SIGNAL DROP OUT:
SIRIUS Satellite Radio uses ground-based transmitters in populated areas to ensure consistent road coverage. However, for airborne receivers, these ground-based signals may cancel satellite-transmitted signals,
resulting in a dropped signal. You may experience interruptions in the airborne SIRIUS signal near large
cities. This interruption will be variable, depending on AGL altitude, distance, number of ground-based
transmitters and azimuth to the transmitters.
PS Engineering, Inc. does not guarantee SIRIUS Satellite Radio coverage in all areas, or the suitability of the SIRIUS Satellite Radio for any particular geographical area.
2.9 Final Inspection
Verify that the wiring is bundled away from all controls and no part of the installation interferes with aircraft control operation. Move all controls through their full range while examining the installation to see
that no mechanical interference exists. Verify that the cables are secured to the aircraft structure in accordance with good practices, with adequate strain relief. Ensure that there are no kinks or sharp bends in the
cables and coaxial cables. Verify that the cables are not exposed to any sharp edges or rough surfaces, and
that all contact points are protected from abrasion.
Complete logbook entry, FAA Form 337, weight and balance computation and other documentation as
required. Sample text for FAA Form 337 and instructions for continuing airworthiness can be found in

Section III OPERATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
3.1 SCOPE
This section describes the operation of the PXE7300 In-Flight Entertainment system.
Operating controls consist of two rotary knobs with push-push switches, and four buttons.
Figure 3-1 Front Panel Controls
3.2 Operating Controls
The single-disk player is designed for simple operation. The Disc player will begin to play automatically
when a Disc is inserted (unless the disc is specially formatted as 7300 volume, see section 3.4). The disc
will play through in order, and then stop at the end. If a disc is not inserted, the unit will be in the FM
radio mode.
NOTE:
When a disc is inserted, the display will show “Reading . . .” for up to 20 seconds, depending on the media
and amount of information contained.
NOTE:
The MP3 mechanism in the PXE7300 is more sensitive to scratches on the play side of the disc than tradi-
3.2.1 Power/Volume Control (1)
tional CD players. It is suggested to use CDs that have few to no scratches for optimum performance.
The PXE7300 system is turned on and off by pushing the volume (left hand) knob. The left knob is the
volume control. Turning the knob clockwise will increase the volume.
3.2.2 Stop/Eject Button (2)
The Stop/Eject button will stop the disc. Hold for 3 seconds to eject the disc.
In AM or FM Radio Mode, this button scans up the frequency band for a strong signal.
3.2.3 Play/Pause Button (3)
Pressing the play/pause button momentarily will pause the player. Press for about one second to advance
the track or select another random track. Press and hold the PLAY/PAUSE to for an INTRO SCAN that
plays a few seconds of each track before advancing.
Momentarily pressing STOP/EJECT & PLAY/PAUSE buttons at the same time will cause the track to
jump backward.
200-739-0001 Page 3-1 Rev. 2, January 2005
Page 18
PXE7300 SR SIRIUS Satellite Radio IFE System
Installation and Operator’s Manual
PS Engineering
In AM or FM Radio Mode, this button scans down the frequency band for a strong signal.
3.2.4 The R/S Button (4)
This selects random or sequence play in the disc mode.
3.2.5 The Data Knob (5)
In the Disc mode (CD or MP3), the knob will advance (CW) or decrease (CCW) the track. Track number is
displayed when the knob is in motion. Then it will display the track name and then begin to play.
In AM or FM radio mode, this knob can be used to tune the radio directly.
If the playing media is an MP3 format, the pushing the DATA knob will display the data (if stored and
available) from the playing tracks in sequence when the knob is pushed.
Song Name
MP3 Actual File Name
Album
Artist
Depending on the total size of the information stored on the disc, the available data may be truncated in the
following manner: Small number of files, Actual File Name, Larger number of files, Truncated File Name,
Most files, Track Number.
If the SIRIUS Radio option is included, a long press will toggle between the channel number and the audio
stream name.
3.2.6 The MODE Button (6)
This button cycles through the operating modes;, Disc, FM, AM, SR and AUX (if enabled).
3.3 Radio Reception
The passive AM/FM antenna, part number 510-730-0001 (included) is optimized for FM radio performance. Therefore, when used for AM reception, the operator may only receive the most powerful 3 to 5 AM
stations. In contrast to an ADF, where audio fidelity is not important, the PXE7300 requires higher signal
levels to ensure fidelity.
For optimum performance, some installers may desire an external AM/FM antenna. PS Engineering recommends a Comant CI-222-L.
Another alternative is to connect the PXE7300 antenna input to an unused VOR port of the VHF NAV
antenna splitter. Do NOT add another splitter.
3.4 Radio Preset Function
The PXE7300 can save up to nine AM frequencies, nine, FM frequencies, and nine SIRIUS streams for
future recall. Select the desired radio frequency.
To set press the “R/S” button (4). The next available slot will be displayed as “S#.” (# being the available
memory location). Within five seconds, select the desired channel using the DATA knob (if not already
displayed). Press the R/S (4) again to save the selection. The display will flash, indicating a successful
save.
You can select the “S” slot by pressing the Stop (up) and play (down) buttons.
To access the channel, press the DATA knob (5) the radio mode, and select the preset with the DATA
knob or scan up (2) and down (3) buttons.
