Post Installation Checkout

After wiring is complete, verify power is ONLY on pin 20 of the J1 (bottom connector), and airframe
ground on bottom connector pin Z. Failure to do so will cause serious internal damage and void PS Engi-
neering's warranty.

Unit Installation

To install the PMA7000B, gently slide the unit into the mounting rack until the hold-down screw is en-
gaged. 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.

Internal damage will result.

2.10.1 Required Test Equipment

In order to return an aircraft to service after installation of the PMA7000, 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.

2.10.2 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 the right 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 and standard Com 3, (if installed).

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. If the audio panel is installed with J2, pin J grounded, it is configured for duplex operation on Com 3.

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). Verify
that the Com 3 Xmt LED blinks at about twice the rate of com 1, to indicate a duplex mode. The co-
