General Rules

2.1 Input devices

NOTE : Use the low level output of any entertainment device to connect to the audio panel. Maximum signal level is 2 VAC p-p. DO NOT use a speaker-level output, this will cause internal damage in the audio panel.

To interface a speaker level, install an AudioLink /PowerLink 101PL2 adapter, available from Crutchfield at 1-800-955-3000 (804)-817-1000, [email protected]

2.2 Shielding & Grounds

Shield grounds should be connected at one end only, preferably at the signal source.

Shield ground and audio low must always be kept separate. Do NOT use the shield as an audio return. For stereo systems use 3-wire with shield.

Intercoms PS Engineering makes a version of intercoms to fit any almost application and budget. However, it is important to consider the IFE limitations when selecting a system and in-terface.

3.1 Mono

In general, PS Engineering’s monaural intercoms do not support a karaoke (non muted) mode. This is because IFE is not a high priority for monaural intercom buyers.

For PS Engineering IFE systems, such as PCD7100-P, PXE7300 or PAV80, the left and right outputs can be tied together and connected to the entertainment inputs.

3.1.1 PM501 The music input to the PM501 is pin 1, WRT ground, Pin 5.

The PM501 does not support karaoke. The music input will mute in the presence of radio or intercom activity.

3.1.2 PM1000DAP (Dual Audio Panel)

The PM1000DAP Does not support IFE.

3.1.3 PM1000II The PM1000II does not support karaoke. The music input will mute in the presence of radio and intercom activity.

3.1.3.1 PM1000II without crew, P/N 11922 The music input to the PM1000II is pin 20, WRT Pin 7. Music 1 will be heard in all headsets in ALL mode, Music will NOT be heard in the pilot headset in ISO.

3.1.3.2 PM1000II with crew, P/N 11920 The music 1 input to the PM1000II is pin 20, WRT Pin 7. Music 1 will be heard in all headsets in ALL mode, music will NOT be heard in the pilot headset in ISO.

The music 2 input to the 11920 is pin 16, WRT Pin 3. Music 2 will be heard in the pas-senger headsets ONLY when the unit is in CREW mode. Pilot and Copilot positions will hear Music 1 in CREW mode.

3.1.4 PM1200 The music input to the PM1200 is pin 20, WRT Pin 7. Music 1 will be heard in all head-sets in ALL mode, Music will NOT be heard in the pilot headset in ISO.

The PM1200 does not support karaoke mode. The music input will mute in the presence of radio and intercom activity.

200-108-0405 3-2 APRIL 2005


3.2 Stereo

3.2.1 PM3000 4-place The stereo music inputs to the PM3000 are pin 24 (Left), pin 11 (WRT Pin 7). Music 1 will be heard in all headsets in ALL mode, Music will NOT be heard in the pilot headset in ISO.

The right knob (squelch) incorporates a push/push switch that controls the music mute (karaoke) mode. When the mute inhibit (karaoke) mode is on, music will remain at a con-stant level. When the mute is enabled, the music will be muted –30 dB when there is ra-dio or ICS activity.

3.2.2 PM3000 6-place, w/crew The stereo music #1 inputs to the PM3000 are pin 24 (Left), pin 11 (WRT Pin 1). Music 1 will be heard in all headsets in ALL mode, Music will NOT be heard in the pilot head-set in ISO.

The stereo music #2 inputs to the PM3000 are pin 17 (Left), pin 4 (WRT Pin 7. Music 2 will only be heard in passenger headsets in CREW mode, Music 2 will NOT be heard in the pilot and copilot headset.

The right knob (squelch) incorporates a push/push switch that controls the music mute (karaoke) mode for Music #1. When the mute inhibit (karaoke) mode is on, music will remain at a constant level. When the mute is enabled, the music will be muted –30 dB when there is radio or ICS activity.

Music #2 does not have mute capability, and always remains at a constant level.

3.3 Paralleling music inputs

For stereo music inputs, the Music 1 and Music #2 can be connected together as shown.

We recommend that a switch be used to remove the music from Music 1 when the crew does not want IFE, and the passengers do.

4.1 Mono

The rules for a monaural audio panel interface are similar to the rules for a monaural in-tercom.

4.1.1 PMA4000 The PMA4000 has one IFE input. The music input is top connector, pin 13, WRT top connector Pin 25. Music will be heard in all headsets in ALL mode, Music will NOT be heard in the pilot headset in ISO.

When top connector, Pin 5 is connected to airframe ground, the mute is inhibited, putting the unit into karaoke mode.

4.1.2 PMA6000 Mono The PMA6000-series (PMA6000, PMA6000M, PMA6000C PMA6000MC) have two monaural inputs.

The music 1 input to the PMA6000 is pin 4, WRT Pin D of the top connector. Music 1 will be heard in all headsets in ALL mode, music will NOT be heard in the pilot headset in ISO.

Music 2 input to the PMA6000 is pin 2, WRT Pin B of the top connector.

Music 2 will be heard in the passenger headsets ONLY when the unit is in CREW mode. Entertainment 2 does not mute. Pilot and Copilot positions will hear Music 1 in CREW mode.

4.1.2.1 PMA6000 Mono muting The music 1 in PMA6000 will NOT mute unless there is a connection between pins 12 and N of the top connector. PS Engineering recommends a switch between these pins to give the crew control of the music muting. When pins 12 and N are connected, music 1 will mute when there is radio or ICS activity.

200-108-0405 4-4 APRIL 2005


4.2 Stereo

4.2.1 PMA6000 Stereo (Discontinued) The stereo music #1 inputs to the PMA6000 Stereo are pin 16 (Left), pin 15 (WRT Pin T) of the top connector. Music 1 will be heard in all headsets in ALL mode, Music will NOT be heard in the pilot headset in ISO.

The stereo music #2 inputs to the PMA6000 Stereo are pin 14 (Left), pin 13 (WRT Pin R) of the top connector. Music 2 will only be heard in passenger headsets in CREW mode, Music 2 will NOT be heard in the pilot and copilot headset.

The left knob (ICS volume) incorporates a push/push switch that controls the music mute (karaoke) mode for Music #1. When the mute inhibit (karaoke) mode is on, music will remain at a constant level. When the mute is enabled, the music will be muted –30 dB when there is radio or ICS activity.

The right knob (ICS Squelch) incorporates a push/push switch that controls the music mute (karaoke) mode for Music #2.

4.2.2 PMA7000-Series The IFE inputs to the PMA7000 are completely independent. Music #1 (crew) goes to the crew, and Music #2 always goes to the passengers.

The stereo music #1 (crew) inputs to the PMA7000 Series are pin 16 (Left), pin 15 (WRT Pin T) of the top connector. Music 1 will be heard in pilot and copilot headsets, Music 1 will NOT be heard in the pilot headset in ISO.

Music #1 will mute during any radio or ICS Activity. The mute inhibit (karaoke mode) is controlled through the front panel “ICS” button. In karaoke mode, the LED in the ICS button is lit, indicating that music will not be muted.

The stereo music #2 (passengers) inputs to the PMA7000 Series are pin 14 (Left), pin 13 (WRT Pin R) of the top connector. Music 2 will only be heard in passenger headsets in any mode, Music 2 will never be heard in the pilot and copilot headsets.

Connecting J2 pin V to ground through a SPST switch places the entertainment #2 music source into the Karaoke Mode.

It is also possible to connect Pin V to Pin A, which has a logic low when the AUX button is activated.

5.4 PAV80

The PAV80 is a DVD player that also offers CD/MP3, AM/FM and auxiliary capability.

The AUX can be a audio and video source, such as a GameBoy or other entertainment system. There is also an auxiliary audio input (AUXA) that can be used for iPOD or Sat-ellite Radio units

This IFE system is “Multi-Tasking” because it has two separate stereo audio outputs that can be fed by the Video, CD, radio or external auxiliary source. One output, called Crew or Primary, can be dedicated to the pilot and copilot through Music 1. The Passenger, or secondary output can be dedicated to the Music 2 input and presented to the passengers.

Muting of the IFE is controlled by the intercom or audio panel.

6.1 PMA7000-CD

The PMA7000-CD is a PMA7000B that controls a PCD7100-R (Remote) CD/MP3 player. The PCD7100-R does not have any controls or display, and is 2-inches tall. The PMA7000-CD uses a serial data control line to provide play, stop forward and back disc commands. The PMA7000-CD can also issue a “power off” commend that will remove the power from the circuitry.

The IFE inputs to the PMA7000-CD are completely independent. Music #1 (crew) goes to the crew, and Music #2 always goes to the passengers. The front-panel music volume control (outer knob) adjusts the Music #1 ONLY.

The stereo music #1 (crew) inputs to the PMA7000-CD Series are pin 16 (Left), pin 15 (WRT Pin T) of the top connector. Music 1 will be heard in pilot and copilot headsets, Music 1 will NOT be heard in the pilot headset in ISO.

Music #1 will mute during any radio or ICS Activity. The mute inhibit (karaoke mode) is controlled through the front panel “ICS” button. In karaoke mode, the LED in the ICS is lit, indicating that music will not be muted.

The stereo music #2 (passengers) inputs to the PMA7000 Series are pin 14 (Left), pin 13 (WRT Pin R) of the top connector. Music 2 will only be heard in passenger headsets in any mode, Music 2 will never be heard in the pilot and copilot headsets.

Music 2 can be paralleled to the PCD7100-R CD/MP3 player. However, we recommend that an external volume control be used, because the front panel volume control does not change the Music 2 input. The PS Part number for the volume control kit is 250-790-0020.

6.2 PMA8000-SR

PS Engineering’s revolutionary integration is the incorporation of a SIRIUS Satellite Ra-dio into an audio panel. The PMA8000-SR is physically ¼-inch longer than a standard PMA8000, but adds a new IFE dimension.

Like the PMA8000, Music 1 and 2 are independent: Music 1 is connected to the pilot and copilot, Music 2 is connected to the passengers. As shipped from the factory, the SIRIUS Satellite Radio audio is connected to both Music 1 and Music 2. However, by rearranging

the internal jumpers, the Sirius output can be controlled through external switching and add additional sources, such as an iPOD or other PS Engineering IFE system.

The PAV80 also has an auxiliary audio input, and could be used to switch the PMA8000-SR Sirius radio.

However, the PAV80 and PMA8000-SR infrared remote controls can interfere with the other unit (PAV80 remote affecting PMA8000-SR, etc.), so they must be used carefully, and the units should not be adjacent to each other.
