will take full advantage of all the advanced features in the PMA8000-SR.

1.2 SCOPE

This manual provides detailed installation and operation instructions for the PS Engineering PMA8000­SR-series of Audio Selector Panel/Intercom Systems. This includes the following units:

Description Part Number

Model
PMA8000-SR Stereo Audio Selector Panel with Marker Beacon 050-880-0100
Option 1 Same as above with Digital Recorder added 050-880-0200

Where the functions are identical to all units, it will be referred to herein as a PMA8000-SR. Otherwise,
the applicable units will be specified.

1.3 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

The PMA8000-SR-series is a state of the art audio isolation amplifier and audio selector that contains an
automatic voice activated (VOX) intercom system. It can switch two transceivers (Com 1, Com 2 ) and six
receivers (Nav 1, Nav 2, ADF, DME, MKR and AUX).

A full duplex TEL mode allows the PMA8000-SR to act as an audio interface between aircraft headphone
and microphones and specific aircraft approved

Warning

: Use of non-aviation approved cellular telephone equipment may be prohibited by regulation.

(FAA/FCC) cellular telephone equipment.

PS Engineering is not responsible for unauthorized airborne use of cellular telephones.

For airborne use, the PMA8000-SR must be interfaced with an approved system.

There are four unswitched inputs, available for traffic or EGPWS, autopilot disconnect, and/or radar al­timeter warning.

Push buttons select the receiver audio source provided to the headphones. A SPR button allows the user to
listen to the receiver(s) selected on the cabin speaker. Except for the unswitched inputs, all speaker audio is
muted during transmit. Unswitched inputs are always presented to the aircraft speaker with the exception
of #2 which is controlled by the speaker button.

Push button switches selects one of the communication transceivers for the pilot and copilot position, and
allows radio transmission. In "Split Mode" the PMA8000-SR has the ability to allow the pilot to transmit
on com 1 while the copilot can transmit on com 2. A fail-safe mode connects the pilot headphone and mi­crophone to COM 1 if power is removed for any reason, or if the power switch is placed in the Off (Fail­safe) position.

A six-station voice activated (VOX) intercom is included in the PMA8000-SR. This system has PS Engi­neering’s patented IntelliVox® circuitry that eliminates manual adjustments. The system contains six sepa­rate VOX mic circuits, and only opens the microphone channel in use.

The intercom system incorporates pilot isolate, all and crew modes, two independent stereo music inputs
with "Soft Mute," and flashing LED indications for transmit indications. Intercom control is through two
concentric front panel volume controls and a pushbutton intercom mode switch. The small volume knob

controls the intercom level for the pilot and copilot, while the large knob controls the passenger intercom
volume. Intercom squelch is automatic.

The PMA8000-SR incorporates an integrated SIRIUS Satellite Radio receiver, which allows the aircraft
occupants to enjoy their music

A 3-light Marker Beacon receiver is integrated in the PMA8000-SR. This provides the necessary Marker
Beacon lights and audio indications necessary for an Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach. A
pushbutton labeled MKR allows the pilot select high or low sensitivity as well as test and mute modes.

2.3.3 Audio Panel Mounting Rack Installation

Remove the unit from the mounting tray by unscrewing the 3/32" hex-head screw that is in the center of
the unit. Use caution to avoid hitting the photo-detector lens. Carefully slide the unit free of the tray. Set
the unit aside in a safe location until needed. Install the tray using six clip nuts (475-630-0002), and six
FHP 6-32 x ½" screws (475-632-0012). The audio selector panel must be supported at front and rear of the
mounting tray.

2.3.4 Audio Panel Tray and Connector Assembly

The rack connectors mate with two 44-pin connectors in the PMA8000-SR. The connectors are a sub
miniature crimp-type, and require the use a hand crimp tool, from table below (or equiv.). The connectors
are mounted to the tray back plate with #4-40 screws (475-440-1038), from the inside of through to the
back shell clamp (431-881-0100). Ensure that proper strain relief and chafing precautions are made during

2.4 Cable Harness Wiring

Referring to the appropriate Appendix, assemble a wiring harness as required for the installation. All wires
must be MIL-SPEC in accordance with current regulations. Two- and three-conductor shielded wire must
be used where indicated, and be MIL-C-27500 or equivalent specification. Proper stripping, shielding and
soldering technique must be used at all times. It is imperative that correct wire be used.

Refer to FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-2A for more information. Failure to use correct techniques may
result in improper operation, electrical noise or unit failure. Damage caused by improper installation will
void the PS Engineering warranty.

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.

The PMA8000-SR 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 13.8 VDC present at the
connector, J2 pins 8 & 9, of the PMA8000-SR 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 PMA8000-SR 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). Under no
circumstances combine a microphone and headphone wiring into the same shielded bundle. Always use a
2- or 3-conductor, shield wire as shown on the installation-wiring diagram.

The shields can be daisy-chained together, and then connected to a ground lug mounted on the corner of
the back plate.

Radiated signals can be a factor when low level microphone signals are "bundled" with current carrying
power wires. Keep these cables physically separated. It is very important that you use insulated washers to

isolate the ground return path from the airframe to all headphone and microphone jacks.

NOTE:

Adding a high-performance audio control system, particularly in conjunction with high-performance active
noise canceling headsets, cannot improve on older avionics that were designed for cabin-speaker use. PS
Engineering makes no claim that the audio panel will provide a noise-free audio quality under all installa­tion conditions, particularly with older avionics.

2.4.2 Existing GMA340 Installation

In order to replace the GMA340 with a PMA8000SR, the unit tray must be removed and replaced with the
new PMA8000 tray. The connectors can be reused. You will have to replace the back plate (430-880-0050)
and connect the Satellite Radio antenna to the RF connector (425-880-3003).

2.4.2.1 J2, Pin 30 GMA340

Some GMA340 installations may have a ground strap on J2, Pin 30, Com TX mute.” THIS
CONNECTION MUST BE REMOVED.

If the PMA8000 installation is routing the SIRIUS Satellite Radio audio externally, this pin is reused as
Satellite Radio Audio Right channel. If the Satellite Radio remains internal, this pin must be disconnected

.

2.4.3 Power

The PMA8000-SR-Series are compatible with both 14 and 28 Volt DC systems. A five (5) Amp circuit
breaker is required for all installations. Power and ground wires must be a twisted

#22 AWG pair con­nected to J2 Pins 8 and 9. Connect airframe ground to J2 Pin 10 and 11 only. No dropping resistors are
required.

2.4.4 Communications Push-to-Talk

An important part of the installation is the PTT (Push-To-Talk) switches that allow the use of your aircraft
communications radio for transmissions. There are three typical configurations that can be used. Select the
case that best fits the installation. Only the person who presses their PTT switch will be heard over the ra­dio. If the pilot and copilot both use the PTT, the only pilot position has access to the radio. The pilot posi­tion will have PTT control regardless of the mic selector switch or copilot PTT when the PMA8000-SR is

OFF/EMG mode.

in the

CASE I: PTT is built into both pilot and copilot yokes.
CASE II: PTT is in pilot yoke only. This configuration requires a modified external PTT switch plugged

into the copilot's microphone jack. (See Appendix A). When the copilot's PTT is pressed, the intercom
switches the microphone audio from pilot to copilot mic.

CASE III: No built in PTT. This requires two built in PTTs to be installed, or modified external PTT
switches to be used. Modify external PTT as required. See Appendix A.

2.4.5 Audio Panel interface

The PMA8000-SR is designed to interface with standard aircraft avionics, and presents a 500Ω receiver
impedance. For best results, a twisted-shielded cable is recommended from the avionics audio source to the
audio panel, with the shield grounded at the audio panel end.

Some avionics do not provide a separate audio low, and may introduce additional electrical noise into the
system. For best results, connect the audio low from the audio panel to the radio ground, using one conduc­tor of the twisted-shielded cable.

2.4.5.1 Speaker Load

The PMA8000-SR contains one speaker amplifier. Some units with internal speaker amplifiers, such as the
King Radio KX170-series, require a resistive load to prevent damage if their speaker amplifier is not used.

PS Engineering

Connect the speaker output from the unit to the COM 2 Speaker load input on the PMA8000-SR (J1 27
WRT 28). The speaker load is 16 Ω, 3W.

2.4.6 TEL (Duplex) Function for Cell Phones

This mode is designed to operate with telecommunications systems, such as the AirCell Guardian 1000.
Audio streams selected by the intercom mode are provided to the Tel output, and audio from Tel is pre­sented to the headset. This allows a telephone-like audio interface.

The TEL mode in the PMA8000-SR is also compatible with many cellular telephones with hands-free
headset interfaces. A 1/8” or 3/32” jack can be installed on the aircraft panel, and interfaces with the
PMA8000-SR as shown: A patch cord (3/32” to 3/32”) is available from PS Engineering under P/N 425­006-7026.

unapproved cellular telephone equipment in flight, and takes no responsibility for the user’s action.

PS Engineering does not guarantee compatibility with personal cellular telephones. For a list of

phones that have been tested, visit www.ps-engineering.com.

2.4.7 Transmit Interlock

Some communications transceivers use a transmit-interlock system. To fully utilize the Split Mode feature,
this function must be disabled. Consult that manufacturer's installation manual.

2.4.8 Patented "Swap" Mode

When a momentary, normally open, push-button switch is connected between pin 20 on the J2 connector
and aircraft ground, the user can switch between Com 1 and 2 by depressing this switch without having to
turn the mic selector switch. This yoke-mounted switch eliminates the need to remove your hands from the
yoke to change transceivers. The transfer of TX indication from Com 1 to Com 2 shows that the swap has
been initiated; there is no dedicated swap indicator.

2.4.9 Backlighting

The PMA8000-SR has an automatic dimming of the pushbutton annunciation LEDs and marker lamps con­trolled by a photocell. Control of the unit backlighting is through the aircraft avionics dimmer For 14 V
aircraft, connect J2 Pins 6 and 7 to the aircraft dimmer bus, and pin 5 to ground. For 28-volt systems, con­nect pin 7 to the aircraft dimmer, and pins 5 and 6 to ground.

If an external dimmer control is not used, a constant back light illumination can be established for night-

time viewing. Pin 6 or 7 (depending on system voltage) must be tied to power (J1, pin 8 or 9) for the back

lighting system to work. The photocell mounted in the unit face will automatically adjust the intensity of
the push-button annunciation LEDs.

2.4.10 Unswitched inputs

J1, pins 31, 29 and J2 pin 15 are unswitched, unmuted inputs # 1, 3 and 4, respectively. These inputs are
presented to the pilot and copilot regardless of the audio configuration, and will always mute the enter­tainment inputs. These 510Ω inputs can be used for altimeter DH audio, GPS waypoint audio, autopilot
disconnect tones, or any other critical audio signal. Unswitched #1 is always presented to the speaker.

Unswitched #2, J1 pin 44 is unswitched, but muted (controlled by the speaker switch), and suitable for air­to-ground (Flitefone) telephone ringer This input is not related to the cellular telephone interface.
Unswitched 3 and 4 inputs are always presented to the crew headphones and to the aircraft speaker.

NOTE: These inputs are fixed (1:1), and any audio level adjustments must be made at the input source.

Unswitched Input 1 is presented to the pilot in Fail-Safe (power off) condition.

2.4.11 Public Address Mode

Although equipped with a PA mode, the PMA8000-SR is shipped from the factory with this function in­hibited, because only a very few customers will use it. It must be initialized before use. The Sirius Radio
remote

050-803-0200, MUST be used to initialize the PA Mode. On the remote, press 3 0 0. You will hear a

beep with each key press, followed by the three-beep acknowledgement.

By pressing the Mute and SPR pushbuttons at the same time, the PMA8000-SR will be placed into public
address (PA) mode. In this mode, both Com 1 and Com 2 receive indicators will blink, alerting the pilot
that when he presses his PTT switch he will be talking over the cockpit speaker. Copilot will still continue
on the selected COM radio.

When in the PA mode, J2 Pin 19 will go low, providing a digital logic level that can be used to incorporate
a speaker-switching scheme. This can control some switching means such as a relay (coil current of 100
mA maximum) that would transfer the speaker output amplifier from the cockpit speaker to drive another
cabin speaker. If the PA mode is used with a microphone in proximity to an active cockpit speaker, feed­back might result.

NOTE: An internal configuration jumper can be removed if Pin 19 conflicts with prior installation. This
jumper is adjacent to those described in section 2.4.16.4.

2.4.12 PA Mute (J2, Pin 12)

Pin 12 of J2 is a TTL logic output that is pulled low during PTT operation. This serves as an input to exter­nal public address system to prevent feedback during transmissions.

2.4.13 Miscellaneous Logic Output (J2, Pin 18)

Pin 18 of the J2 connector is pulled to ground whenever the AUX button is depressed. This serves as a
control line for external devices, such as an entertainment system that the pilot wishes to control.

This pin can also be used to control passenger Karaoke Mode, by connecting to pin 13 of the J2, or as a PA
cockpit/cabin speaker relay control, as long as the maximum current does not exceed 100 mA..

NOTE: J2, Pin 18 should NOT be used as a logic switch for music muting if the AUX is going to be used

to switch DME or auxiliary audio.

2.4.14 Intercom wiring

See Appendix C and D for intercom connection configurations. It is critical to the proper operation of this
system to have this connector wiring made in accordance with these diagrams. Use 2- and 3-conductor,
MIL-spec cable as shown. Connect the shields at the audio panel end only, and tie to the audio low inputs
as shown.

NOTE: The intercom harness can be custom made by PS Engineering, Inc. Simply call the factory or

www.ps-engineering.com to obtain a wire harness work sheet. The harness will be made to your specifica-

tions and fully functionally tested. Harness can be ordered with jacks, or without the headphone and mi­crophone jacks installed, for easier wire routing through the aircraft.

Installation wiring by anyone other than an approved PS Engineering installer, or a PS Engineering

made harness will void the warranty, and may result in an unairworthy aircraft.

2.4.15 SIRIUS Satellite Radio Installation

The SIRIUS Satellite Radio antenna (p/n 510-880-0100) should be mounted on the glareshield using a
double-faced tape. Clean the area to remove any dust or grease.

The antenna coax is supplies with a mating connector to the coax pigtail that is installed in backplate. Do
not remove the ferrite from the cable.

2.4.16 SIRIUS Satellite Radio Functions

2.4.16.1 SIRIUS Satellite Radio Antenna

The Satellite Radio antenna, part number 510-880-0100, should be mounted on the glareshield with a clear
view of the horizon. Avoid mounting behind any electrical sources, such as a heaters, etc. Route the coax
to the back of the tray as convenient.

2.4.16.2 SIRIUS Satellite Radio Antenna connection

The Satellite Radio antenna input of the PMA8000-SR must be connected to the Satellite Radio Antenna at
the pigtail connected to back plate (P/N 430-890-1481).

2.4.16.3 SIRIUS Satellite Radio Output (J2, Pins 29 & 30)

Satellite Radio audio output, J2, Pin 30 (right) and J2-Pin 29 (left) can

be connected to the desired enter-

tainment input pins directly, or externally switched to the desired entertainment input pins.

NOTE:
If the installation replaces a GMS340, and J2, Pin30, was previously grounded, it must be
disconnected. Otherwise, the Satellite Radio right channel will be unusable.

2.4.16.4 Sirius Distribution Configuration Jumpers

The music distribution can

be configured by the installer to connect the output of the Sirius Module to the
Pilot and copilot (Entertainment 1), the Passengers (Entertainment 2) or both. These jumpers are accessible
through the top cover of the unit. The jumpers are installed for internal loop back Sirius Satellite Radio

from the factory. This internal configuration allows the installer to retrofit into a GARMIN GMA340

installation without wiring changes.
Note: The Sirius Radio outputs have an impedance of 510 ohms. When attaching an external music

source in parallel with the Sirius radio, be sure the external source can drive 510 ohms or distortion
will occur. If the external source cannot drive 510 ohms, these jumpers must be removed or moved
to the open position (one leg open as shown below).

To change the internal distribution: Remove the top cover by removing 9 screws from the top cover. Lo­cate the jumper strip near the J2 connector. Remove the jumper plugs to disconnect the Sirius radio output
left and right channels, to the entertainment 1 and or entertainment 2 inputs.

2.4.16.5 Entertainment distribution

The PMA8000-SR has two INDEPENDENT music inputs. Entertainment input number 1 is J2 pins 23 (left
channel) and 24 (right channel), with respect to pin 25, and is provided to the pilot and copilot. Entertain­ment number 2 is provided to the passengers at all times, and is connected to 26 (left channel), 27 (right
channel), with respect to 28.

Entertainment 1 and 2 must be connected together in order for all positions to hear the same music source,
such as the Satellite Radio. We recommend installing a DPDT switch to allow isolation of the music source
to the crew and allow the passengers a different entertainment source.

Note: Remember to remove or move internal jumpers to the open position (one leg open as shown
above) if the Sirius Radio output is to be connected to another system, an external audio input will be
used or anytime the SR Output is connected back into the Entertainment inputs #1 or #2.

The PMA8000-SR-system incorporates a "Soft Mute" system. This will mute the entertainment devices
during ICS or radio conversation.

Any signal appearing in the unswitched audio inputs will always mute the entertainment sources, even
though the passengers may not hear the audio tone itself.

Press the Mute switch to activate the Karaoke mode (disabling crew SoftMute™), This allows the pilot to
place the entertainment into the background while having the radios in the foreground. This eliminates the
constant interruption of the music while still having the radios a priority.

Caution: Local oscillators and internal signals from entertainment equipment can cause undesired interfer-

ence with other aircraft systems. Before takeoff, operate the entertainment devices to determine if there is
any adverse effect within the aircraft systems. If any unusual operation is noted in flight, immediately
switch off the entertainment devices.

All additional entertainment devices must be switched off for both takeoff and landing.

2.4.18.1.1 Entertainment 2 Mute (J2 Pin 13 & 14)

Connecting J2 pin 13 to pin 14 (or ground) through a SPST switch places the entertainment #2 music
source into the Karaoke Mode. In this mode, incoming music and intercom conversation will not mute the
music for the passengers’ intercom net. This allows uninterrupted music during casual conversation and at
times when radio communications are of lesser importance.

See section 2.4.14 for alternative music connection to allow the passengers and crew to use the same input.

If desired, the AUX button can act as the passengers’ mute control. Connect J2 pin 18 (AUX logic) to J2
pin 13 (Entertainment. 2 Mute inhibit). This is NOT recommended is AUX is also used as an audio switch.

2.4.19 Playback button Installation (J2, Pin 22- Option 1, ONLY)

To activate the Recording System playback, a momentary push button switch is required. This switch can
be located anywhere in cockpit convenient to the pilot's reach. The switch must be connected to pin 22 of
J2 of the PMA8000-SR, and ground

2.5 Marker Beacon Installation

2.5.1 Marker Antenna Installation

A marker beacon antenna, appropriate to the type and speed of the aircraft, is required (not included). Re­fer to aircraft and antenna manufacturer's installation instructions, as well as AC43.13-2A (or later revi­sion), Chapter 3, for information on proper antenna installation techniques. The marker beacon antenna
must be mounted on the bottom of the aircraft.

2.5.2 External Marker Lights

For installations that require external marker beacon lights, there are three outputs that can drive 12-Volt
lamps only. The external output lamps are driven high (typically +9 VDC ±1.5 VDC unloaded, at MAX
brightness) when active. Maximum source current per lamp is 125 mA. Voltage varies with photocell
dimming.

2.5.3 Middle Marker Sense (Marker version)

A Middle Marker Sense output signal is available from the 8000 to flight control systems. This function
will not operate during the test mode. This output will go to +4.5 VDC (± 1.0 VDC) when a valid Middle
Marker signal is received. This output is J1, pin 39.

2.6 Adjustments

The PMA8000-SR is factory adjusted to accommodate the typical requirements for most aircraft configura­tions. There is an adjustment in the bottom cover that allow the installer to tailor speaker volume.
Marker Beacon adjustments are on the top cover.

2.7 Communications Antenna Installation Notes

For best results while in Split Mode, it is recommended that the one VHF communications antenna is lo­cated on top

of the aircraft while the other communications antenna is installed on the bottom. Any antenna
relocation must be accomplished in accordance with AC 43.13-2A, aircraft manufacturers’ recommenda­tions and FAA-approved technical data.

Warning:

It is probable that radio interference will occur in the split mode when the frequencies of the two air-

craft radios are adjacent, and/or the antennas are physically close together. PS Engineering makes no
expressed or implied warranties regarding the suitability of the PMA8000-SR in Split Mode.

2.7.1 Audio Active Output

Pin 24 on the J1 connector (and PA Mute Pin 12 on J2) should be connected to Apollo CNX80 for audio
message prioritization, refer to CNX80 installation manual for details.

2.9 Post Installation Checkout

After wiring is complete, verify power is ONLY on pins 8 and 9 of the J2 and airframe ground on connec­tor pins 10 and 11. Failure to do so will cause serious internal damage and void PS Engineering's war­ranty.

2.9.1 Required Test Equipment

In order to return an aircraft to service after installation of the PMA8000-SR, the installer must have access
to a Marker Beacon signal generator:

a. IFR NAV401L, NAV402AP, IFR4000
b. TIC T-30D, T-36C

Equivalent test equipment is acceptable as long as the testing requirements can be met.

2.10 Unit Installation

To install the PMA8000-SR, 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 center of the
unit until it is secure. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

Caution: Apply steady pressure to the bezel while screwing the unit into the tray to

ensure even seating of the unit and connectors.

Warning: Do not over-tighten the lock down screw while installing the unit in tray.

Internal damage will result.

2.10.1 Operational Checkout

NOTE: The IntelliVox® is designed for ambient noise levels of 80 dB or above. Therefore some clipping
may occur in a quiet cabin, such as without the engine running, in a hangar. This is normal.

1. Apply power to the aircraft and avionics.

2. Plug headsets into the pilot, copilot, and occupied passenger positions.

3. Verify fail-safe operation by receiving and transmitting on com 1 from the pilot position, with the au­dio panel power off. The Com audio will be present in one ear cup only.

4. Switch on the unit by pressing the volume (VOL) knob.

5. Check intercom operation.

6. Push the Com 1 Xmt select button (lower row).

7. Verify that both of the Com 1 buttons light. Verify that transmit button LED (Light Emitting Diode)

near the mic selector is not

blinking. If the LED is blinking, stop testing and troubleshoot the micro-

phone PTT installation.

8. Verify proper transmit and receive operation from the copilot position, noting that the copilot PTT
switch allows proper transmission on the selected transceiver. Verify that the Com 1 Xmt button blinks
when transmitting.

9. Verify that pushing the C

OM 2 button causes the button to illuminate, and the Com 2 receiver to be

heard. Verify operation on Com 1 from the pilot position.

10. Repeat for Com 2

11. Press and hold the Com 1 Xmt button. While holding the Com 1 button, press the Com 2 Xmt button.
This places the unit in “split Mode;” Verify that the pilot can transmit and receive on Com 1, while the
copilot transmits and receives on Com 2.

12. Verify proper operation of all receiver sources by selecting them using the appropriate button. The
button illuminates to show which source is in use.

13. Push the SPR button. Verify that all selected audio is heard in the cockpit speaker. Verify that the au­dio mutes when the mic is keyed.

14. Verify that the appropriate LED in the lower button row blinks when either push to talk is keyed.

15. Verify proper Intercom system operation in the A

LL, ISO and CREW modes (see Table 3-1).

16. Verify that the audio selector panel system does not adversely affect any other aircraft system by sys­tematically switching the unit on and off, while monitoring the other avionics and electrical equipment
on the aircraft.

2.10.1.1 Marker Beacon Checkout

1. Connect a ramp generator listed in section 2.9.1 at the antenna end of the marker coax. With the unit
under test in HI sensitivity, verify that a 160 µV, modulated 95% with 1300 Hz, signal will illuminate
the amber (M) marker light, and that marker audio is present in the headphones when the Marker Au­dio (M) push-button has been depressed. Select SPR for speaker to verify marker audio availability on
the cabin speaker. Verify that the white (I) and blue (O) lights will illuminate within ± 3dB of the am­ber lamp, with 3000 HZ and 400 Hz applied, respectively.

2. Repeat with the unit in LOW sensitivity, with 430 µVolts applied.

3. Connect the marker antenna and verify proper operation.

2.11 TEL Checkout

Press the TEL button. Verify that the pilot headset is connected to the cellular telephone system (if in­stalled). Verify that by using the pilot side PTT, the pilot can transmit on the other selected radio (Com 1 or
Com 2).

When a wireless telecommunication system is installed, a dial tone will appear in the headset of the pilot
when the TEL selector is activated. The telephone function will place any person heard by the pilot on the
intercom, also heard on the telephone.

2.12 SIRIUS Satellite Radio checkout

Because the SIRIUS Satellite Radio will not announce channel numbers until the radio is activated by the
user, an audio channel test is provided. Using the remote control, Press "3-4-5-enter" on the keypad to gen­erate a 1kHz tone. This will be provided to any station connected to the internal SIRIUS Satellite Radio
module. Enter the same code to turn it off again.

To exercise the voice annunciations for the SIRIUS Module, press "6-7-8-enter" to playback all annuncia­tions. Press any key on the remote to stop the playback.

To verify that the antenna is receiving adequate SIRIUS Satellite Radio signals, press 9-0-1 on the remote
control. This will play the numeric value of the signal strength as follows; two beeps, Satellite 1 value (0-

255) and beep, followed by Satellite 2 (0-255) beep again, and then read back terrestrial value. The final

value will probably be either a“1” or “zero” unless a terrestrial antenna is nearby. Higher numbers are bet­ter signals, but you will probably receive only one satellite at a time.

2.12.1 Sirius Signal Dropout

NOTE: 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 ground­based 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.

2.12.2 SIRIUS Satellite Radio ID number

The SIRIUS Satellite Radio identification number can be played back through the annunciation. Have a
pencil handy, and press “4-1-1” on the remote control.

2.13 Internal Recorder Checkout (Optional)

With headset plugged into pilot’s side jacks, tune COM 1 to local frequency, such as FSS or ATC ground.

Select Com 1 on mic selector switch, and record at least five incoming radio transmissions.

This audio should only appear in the pilot’s headset, and only be incoming transmissions from the trans­ceiver selected in the mic select switch. Depress the panel or yoke mounted playback switch, and verify
that messages play, in the order received. Repeat for COM 2, and COM 3 (if installed).

2.14 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.

Section III OPERATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

3.1 SCOPE

This section provides detailed operating instructions for the PS Engineering PMA8000-SR, Audio Selector
Panel/Intercom Systems. Please read it carefully before using the equipment so that you can take full ad­vantage of its capabilities.

This section is divided into four sections covering the basic operating areas of the PMA8000-SR systems.
They are Communications Transceiver Selection, Audio Selector, Intercom, and Marker Beacon Receiver.

Figure 3-1 PMA8000-SR front panel

3.2 Power Switch (1) (EMG-Fail Safe Operation)

Unit power is turned on and off by pushing the volume knob. In the

OFF or "EMG" position, the pilot is

connected directly to Com 1. This allows communication capability regardless of unit condition. Any time
power is removed or turned

OFF, the audio selector will be placed in the fail-safe mode.

The power switch also controls the audio selector panel functions, intercom and marker beacon receiver.

3.3 Microphone (2) (XMT) Selection (All models)

There are four pushbuttons associated with the communications transceivers. The lower buttons (item 2)
control which transceiver is selected for transmit, the top row of COM 1 and COM 2 allows selection of
the receive audio.

The PMA8000-SR gives priority to the pilot’s PTT. If the copilot is transmitting, and the pilot presses his
PTT, the pilot’s microphone will be transferred to the selected com transmitter.

The PMA8000-SR-Series has an automatic selector mode. Audio from the selected transceiver is automati­cally heard in the headsets and speaker (if selected). You can check this function by switching from C

OM 2 XMT mode and watch the selected RCV light on the selector change from COM 1 to COM 2.

to C

OM 1

This ensure the pilot will always hear the audio from the transceiver he is transmitting on.

When switching from C

OM 1 to COM 2, while COM 2 audio had been selected, Com 1 audio will continue

to be heard. This eliminates the pilot having to switch Com 1 audio back on, if desired.

When switching from C

OM 1 to COM 2 while Com 2 has NOT been selected, Com 1 audio will be switched

off. In essence, switching the mic selector will not effect the selection of Com receiver audio.

In TEL mode, the pilot microphone and headphones are connected to the cell phone. The pilot PTT will
switch the pilot mic to the selected com transceiver, and allow continued aircraft communications to con­tinue.

The copilot will also be able to transmit on the other selected radio with his PTT as well.

NOTE: Placing the PMA8000-SR in–TEL–

The intercom mode pushbutton determines who is on the phone, and who is still on the intercom.
In ISO, only the pilot is on the phone, while the copilot and passengers remain on intercom. The pilot will
continue to hear all selected aircraft radios.
In the ALL mode, everyone will be on the phone, intercom, and hear aircraft radios, and:
In Crew mode, the pilot and copilot will be on the phone and hear aircraft radios, while the passengers will
be on intercom.

3.3.1 Swap Mode (Switch from Com 1 to Com 2 remotely)

With a yoke mounted, momentary switch, the pilot can change from the current Com transceiver to the
other by depressing this switch. To cancel "Swap Mode," the pilot may either press the yoke mounted
switch again, or select a different Com with the XMT buttons. .

3.4 Audio Selector (4)

Receiver audio is selected through seven momentary, push-button, backlit switches. You will always

hear

the audio from the transceiver that is selected for transmit.

The users can identify which receivers are selected by noting which of the green switch LEDs are lit. Push

buttons labeled Nav 1, Nav 2, MKR (Marker), ADF and AUX (auxiliary) places those receivers into the

audio stream. DME audio (if present) will come through when the AUX button is selected. When one of
these buttons is pressed, the mode is active, and the LED will illuminate. Press the switch again and it will
be "off" and remove that receiver from the audio output.

3.4.1 Speaker Amplifier (5)

The "SPR" in the push-button section stands for speaker. This switch will place all selected audio on the

cockpit speaker when this switch is selected. NOTE: Except for the unswitched audio, the speaker ampli­fier is not active in the "Split Mode”.

Unswitched audio input 1, (the input dedicated to autopilot disconnect, altimeter warning, etc.) will come
through the speaker regardless of the speaker button position. Unswitched audio input 2, (the input dedi­cated to a lesser importance input such as GPS waypoint alert) will come through the speaker only when
the SPR mode is on. Consult your installer for more information.

3.4.1.1 Public Address Initialization

When shipped from the factory, the Public Address function is inhibited. To initialize the PA function, you
must have the Sirius Remote Control. Press 3 0 0 on the keypad to initialize the PA function. You will

200-880-0000 Page 3-2 Rev. 13, July 2006

PMA8000-SR Audio Selector Panel and Intercom System

Installation and Operator’s Manual

hear a beep with each key press, followed by three acknowledgement beeps. This must be accomplished
only once and the PMA8000-SR will “remember” that PA is activated. See section 3.4.1.2 to use the PA
mode.

3.4.1.2 Public Address Function

To use PA function, press the Mute (6) and SPR (5) buttons simultaneously. The COM1 and COM2 re-

ceive LEDs will blink to indicate the audio panel is in PA mode. The copilot can continue to use the se-

lected com radio while the pilot will be heard over the speaker. To exit, press Mode and SPR again.

We recommend that some switching means be used to transfer the audio from the cockpit speaker to a
cabin speaker for public address. This will prevent feedback. See section 2.4.11

3.5 Split Mode

The split mode can be activated at any time by pressing the Com 1 and Com 2 XMT buttons at the same
time. This places the pilot on Com 1 and the Copilot on Com 2.

Pilot on Com 2 and Copilot on Com 1 is not possible.

PS Engineering

Note:

Due to the nature of VHF communications signals, and the size constraints in

general aviation aircraft, it is probable that there will be some bleed-over in the

Split mode, particularly on adjacent frequencies.

PS Engineering makes no warranty about the suitability of Split Mode in all air-

craft conditions.

Note: Split Mode does not turn off other (Nav, ADF, etc.) selected audio to pilot. However, the copilot will only hear

the selected communications receiver.

3.5.1 Mute Button, Split Mode ICS (6)

In split mode, the pilot and copilot are usually isolated from each other on the intercom, simultaneously

using their respective radios. Depressing the “Mute” button (6) in Split Mode will activate VOX intercom

between the pilot and copilot positions. This permits intercommunication when desired between the crew.

Pressing the Mute button again disables this crew intercom function.

3.6 Intercom Operation

3.6.1 IntelliVox® VOX-Squelch

No adjustment of the IntelliVox® squelch control is necessary. There is no field adjustment. Through three
individual signal processors, the ambient noise appearing in all six microphones is constantly being sam­pled. Non-voice signals are blocked. When someone speaks, only their microphone circuit opens, placing
their voice on the intercom.

The system is designed to block continuous tones, therefore people humming or whistling in monotone
may be blocked after a few moments.

For consistent performance, any headset microphone must be placed within ¼-inch of your lips,
preferably against them. (ref: RTCA/DO-214, 1.3.1.1 (a)).

It is also a good idea to keep the microphone out of a direct wind path. Moving your head through
a vent air stream may cause the IntelliVox® to open momentarily. This is normal.

The IntelliVox® is designed to work with normal aircraft cabin noise levels (70 dB and above). It
loves airplane noise! Therefore, it may not recognize speech and clip syllables in a quiet cabin,
such as in the hangar, or without the engine running. This is normal.

3.6.2 Intercom Volume Control (7)

The inner volume control knob adjusts the loudness of the intercom for the pilot and copilot. It has no ef­fect on selected radio levels, music input levels or passengers' volume level.

The outer volume control knob controls intercom volume or the passengers. It has no effect on radio or
music levels.

Adjust the radios and intercom volume for a comfortable listening level. Most general aviation headsets
today have built-in volume controls; therefore, volume also can be further adjusted at the individual head­set.

3.6.2.1 Mono headsets in Stereo Installation

All passenger headsets are connected in parallel. Therefore, if a monaural headset is plugged in to a
PMA8000-SR Stereo installation, one channel will be shorted. Although no damage to the unit will occur,
all passengers will lose one channel, unless they switch to the “MONO” mode on the headset. PS Engi­neering modifies headsets to add stereo capability, using high-fidelity speakers. Contact factory for details.

3.6.3 Intercom Modes (8)

The “ICS” pushbutton switch on the left side of the panel provides the selection of the three intercom

modes. The description of the intercom mode function is valid only when the unit is not in the "Split"

mode. Then, the pilot and copilot intercom is controlled with the Mode button.

This button cycles through the intercom modes, from top to bottom, then bottom to top as: ISO, ALL Crew
and Crew, ALL, ISO. An LED shows which mode is currently active.

SO: The pilot is isolated from the intercom and is connected only to the aircraft radio system. He will hear

I

the aircraft radio reception (and sidetone during radio transmissions). Copilot will hear passengers’ inter­com and Entertainment 1, while passengers will hear copilot intercom and Entertainment 2. Neither will
hear aircraft radio receptions or pilot transmissions.

LL: All parties will hear the aircraft radio and intercom. Crew will hear Entertainment 1, passengers will

A

hear Entertainment 2. During any radio or intercom communications, the music volume automatically de­creases. The music volume increases gradually back to the original level after communications have been
completed.

PMA8000-SR Audio Selector Panel and Intercom System

Installation and Operator’s Manual

PS Engineering

CREW: Pilot and copilot are connected on one intercom channel and have exclusive access to the aircraft

radios. They may also listen to Entertainment 1. Passengers can continue to communicate with themselves
without interrupting the Crew and may listen to Entertainment 2.

3.6.3.1 Entertainment Input

As shipped from PS Engineering, the PMA8000-SR is configured to provide Sirius Satellite Radio to the
Entertainment #1 circuit, for Pilot and Copilot. Since the audio selector panel has provisions for two sepa­rate entertainment inputs, which operate independently
sengers. The front panel volume control does not

the Sirius Radio audio can be directed to the pas-

affect the music level. Music 2 feeds the passengers.

Passenger music also operates independently from the crew (music 1).

While in the ISO (Isolate) mode, the copilot will hear Entertainment 1 while the four passengers will hear
Entertainment #2. The pilot will hear entertainment 1, at a very muted level. The music will automatically
mute when either the copilot or passengers speak and then will gradually return to the original listening
level when the intercom or radio conversation ceases. Pilot will not mute the music while in ISO mode if
he presses the PTT switch to transmit or if he speaks while on the phone.

When in the A

LL mode, pilot and copilot hear Entertainment 1 input, while all passengers hear the Enter-

tainment 2 source. Music 1 will mute, or can be placed in Karaoke mode by pressing the “Mute” (6)

pushbutton. The passengers can disable their music muting with an external switch that may have been
installed during installation.

While in the C

REW mode, pilot and copilot will hear entertainment input #1 while the passengers will listen

to entertainment input #2.

3.6.3.2 Soft Mute and Soft Mute inhibit for Karaoke Mode

The Soft Mute feature assures that the aircraft radio transmissions will not be missed due to entertainment
playing. When there is radio reception or intercom conversation, the music level is dropped to a low, or
background level. When the radio or intercom traffic ceases, the level gradually returns to normal.

The “Mute” pushbutton switch, (6) controls muting of entertainment source #1 (for pilot and copilot).

Pushing this button places music input 1 into Karaoke (or sing along) mode. This allows the music to con­tinue uninterrupted by intercom or radio traffic when cockpit workload is appropriate. Pushing the button
again will release the mute inhibit function.

The passenger music, source #2, can be placed in the Karaoke mode by pressing the AUX button, if wired
to AUX logic output, or if a remote switch is installed in the aircraft. See wiring information for details.

3.7 Telephone Mode (9)

The TEL mode serves as a full duplex interface for telephone systems such as AirCell or portable cellular
phones with earpiece jacks. When interfaced with an approved airborne telecommunications system, the
PMA8000-SR can serve as a audio control and distribution center.

In ALL intercom mode, all crew and passengers will be heard on the phone when they speak. All will hear

selected audio. Com audio is automatically heard in the headsets.

In CREW mode, the pilot and copilot are connected to the telephone. The pilot and copilot will have

transmit capability on the other selected transceiver Com 1 or 2, simply by using their respective PTT
switch.

In ISO intercom mode, when the PMA8000-SR is in the TEL mode, the pilot position is in the "Phone

Booth." Only the pilot will hear the telephone, and only he will be heard. He will also have access to Com
1 or 2, and will transmit on that radio using the PTT. All selected audio is provided.

Note: Because the cellphone uses an intercom circuit, all stations on that circuit will lose intercom

capability when the cellphone is in use.

PS Engineering does not guarantee compatibility with personal cellular telephones.

Visit www.ps-engineering.com for a list of phones that have been tested.

3.8 SIRIUS Satellite Radio Operation (10)

Primary operation of the SIRIUS satellite radio module is through the portable remote control, PN 051­880-0150. This device must be pointed at the PMA8000 front panel to control the satellite function.

The Remote has the following functions:

o SIRIUS Mode Module on/off (does NOT affect audio

panel/intercom/marker beacon operation)

o Direct channel selection
o Volume control
o SIRIUS Radio mute
o Next/last channel
o Next/last category
o Channel store and recall for favorite channels
o “Query” button to playback channel in use
o “Scan” button that allows the user to sample channels in order

NOTE: The Satellite Radio audio follows the same muting rules, and
will be muted automatically unless the Karaoke mode is enabled.

To turn the Satellite Radio on, press the On/Off button. A voice will say,

“Power on.”. The satellite radio will begin to play on the last used channel.
To turn the SIRIUS radio off, press the button again. This will be indicated
by two beeps.

Figure 3-3 Satellite Ra-

dio Remote Control

To change the channel, simply press the digits (0 through 9). As soon as

the first digit is pressed, the audio will beep indicating a button has been
pressed. If another digit is not pressed within two seconds, the SIRIUS will
change to the new channel, and announce “Channel, followed by the selected channel number.

When selecting the channel directly, you may either press “enter” to accept the change immediately. If no
“enter” is pressed, the radio will change channels approximately 2 seconds after the last digit.

The NEX T CH and PREV CH buttons move to the next higher (or lower) channel number, and will say

the channel number.

The NEXT CAT and PREV CAT buttons will change to the first channel in the next higher (or lower)

category, such as from Pop to Rock, Country, Hip-Hop, R&B, Dance, Jazz, Classical, Latin, News, Sports,
Entertainment and back to Pop.

3.8.1 Sirius Signal Dropout

NOTE: 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 ground­based 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.

3.8.2 Front panel control of SIRIUS Radio

In addition to the Remote, the basic
controls can be accessed through the
front panel. These front panel controls
are located along the bottom row of
buttons. Hold the “Function” button

while accessing the other Sirius
functions.

Figure 3-4 SIRIUS Radio Front Panel Controls

To turn the Sirius module on, press and hold the Function (“TEL” ) button, while pressing the On/Off

NOTE: To turn OFF the satellite radio from the PMA8000 panel without us-

ing the remote, push the “TEL” and “SPR” buttons at the same time.

If you believe that there is a malfunction in the SIRIUS Satellite Radio, turn

power off, and back on to restore audio panel functions.

3.9 Marker Beacon Operation (10)

The Marker Beacon Receiver uses visual and audio indicators to alert you when the aircraft passes over a
75 MHz transmitter.

The Blue lamp, labeled "O”, is the Outer Marker lamp and has an associated 400-Hertz 'dash' tone. The
lamp and tone will be keyed at a rate of two tones/flashes per second when the aircraft is in the range of the
Outer Marker Beacon.

The Amber lamp, labeled "M”, is the Middle Marker lamp and is coupled with a 1300 Hertz tone. It is
keyed alternately with short 'dot' and long 'dash' bursts at 95 combinations per minute.

The White lamp, labeled "I”, is the Inner marker and has a 3000-Hertz 'dot' tone. The lamp and tone will be
keyed at a rate of six times per second.

The audio from the Marker Beacon Receiver can be heard by selecting the "MKR" push-button switch. To
adjust the volume level, there is a service adjustment located on the top of the unit.

A pushbutton is used to set the receiver sensitivity and to test the indicator lamps. Use "HI" sensitivity ini-

tially. This allows you to hear the outer marker beacon about a mile out. Then touch the smaller MKR but-

ton to switch into Low Sensitivity mode. “LO” sensitivity gives you a more accurate location of the Outer

Marker. Holding the MKR button for two seconds activates marker test lamp, labeled "T/M" and illumi­nates all three lamps simultaneously to assure the lamps (internal and external) are in working order. TST
does not activate MM autopilot sense output. Releasing the button returns to the last sensitivity.

Pressing the marker mode select (to “T/M”) for two seconds will also cause the marker audio to mute for
that beacon. The next beacon received will re-activate the audio.

3.10 Internal Recorder System (Option 1)

The Intercom Recording System is a digital recording system allowing automatic storage and playback of
aircraft radio traffic.

Operating as a continuous loop recorder, (first message received will be the last heard), the recorder has
one minute of recording time or up to 16 messages. With its own built in VOX circuit, there are no buttons
to press to start recording. The system automatically begins to record the instant the radio becomes active.
Only aircraft radio audio in pilot’s headset is recorded and only the pilot will hear the playback audio.

3.11 Operation

Recording is automatic. To play back the last recorded message, simply press the switch associated with
the IRS. Each additional press of the button will play the preceding recorded message. You must wait for
the message to finish playing before accessing the prior message. To cancel the playback, press and hold
the playback button for two seconds. The next time the button is pressed, the next earlier message will be
heard.

PMA8000-SR Audio Selector Panel and Intercom System

Installation and Operator’s Manual

PS Engineering

Appendix A External PTT Hook Up

Part of the installation includes the installation of PTT (Push To Talk) switches that allow the use of your
aircraft radio for communications transmissions.

There are three possible configurations ; you must select the case that best fits your installation. NOTE:
Only the person who presses their PTT switch will be heard over the radio.

CASE I

The PTT is built into the pilot and copilot yokes

Simply install the plugs from the headset into the aircraft headphone jacks. Then use the yoke mounted
PTT to transmit. No other action is required.

CASE II

Built in PTT only on the pilot side only

This configuration requires a modified external PTT switch plugged into the copilot's mic jack. (See De­tails Below) When the copilot's PTT is depressed, this activates an internal relay that switches the mic au­dio to the aircraft radio from the pilot to the copilot.

Case III

No built in PTT switch at all.

Two built-in PTT must be installed, or two external, modified PTT switches will be required for both the
pilot and copilot. Modifications to the PTT are required. (See details below)

Push To Talk Modifications

When received from the manufacturer, an after-market PTT switch opens the mic audio path to the "ring"
connection of the PTT mic plug until the button is pressed. When the PTT is between the intercom and the
headset, the intercom function will not work unless the PTT switch is depressed. A simple modification
can be performed to allow proper intercom operation. NOTE: This mod does not alter normal operation.

Below are some examples of typical modifications. Contact the PTT manufacturer for more details if nec­essary.

Procedures For David Clark PTT

Unscrew the round black plastic cover from the jack.
Connect the joined black wires to the red wire.
Replace the round black plastic cover.

Procedures for Telex PT-200

Unscrew the round black plastic cover from the jack.
Cut the red wire in the middle of the wire.
Strip both ends of the insulation.
Solder the two ends to the ground lug to the PTT jack.
Replace the round black plastic cover.

Procedures for Telex PT-300

Unscrew the round black plastic cover from the plug jack.
Remove the heat shrink material from the joined black wires.
Solder these two wires to the lug that has a white wire already soldered to it.
Replace the round black plastic cover
