1.3 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
This audio selector panel was developed for use with the Avidyne Entegra Integrated Flight Display Sys-
tem Release 9. The following features are provided when the PMA8000B audio panel, P/N 050-890-0403,
is installed.
 Marker beacons indications displayed on IFD as well as audio panel.
 Monitor buttons (Mon1 and Mon2) when selected, allow the user to monitor (listen only) the
Standby frequencies of the Com1 and Com2 radio modules respectively.
 When a DME is installed in the aircraft the Mon2 button provides the ability to monitor the
Morse code associated with the DME. DME audio will be routed to this channel (Mon2) instead
of the Com2 Standby.
 Ability to display decoded active frequency on IFD based on crew audio panel selection.
The PMA8000B-MP3 is a state-of-the-art audio isolation amplifier and audio selector that contains an
automatic voice activated (VOX) intercom system and integral marker beacon receiver. It can switch two
transceivers (Com 1, Com 2) and six receivers (Nav 1, Nav 2, ADF, DME, MKR and AUX).
The PMA8000B-MP3 version (050-890-0602) incorporates an internal MP3 Player with one gigabyte of
memory. This is controlled through secondary functions on the front panel.
A full duplex TEL mode allows the PMA8000B-MP3 to act as an audio interface between aircraft head-
phone and microphones and specific aircraft approved (FAA/FCC) cellular telephone equipment, through
the front mounted jack.
Warning: Use of non-aviation approved cellular telephone equipment may be prohibited by regulation.
PS Engineering is not responsible for unauthorized airborne use of cellular telephones.
For airborne use, the PMA8000B-MP3 must be interfaced with an approved system.
