OPERATION

This section provides detailed operating instructions for the Audio Selector

Panel/Intercom Systems. Please read it carefully before using the equipment

so that you can take full advantage of its capabilities. This chapter is divided

into four sections covering the basic operating areas of the PMA7000B sys-

tems. They are Audio Selector, Transceiver Selection, Intercom, and Marker

Beacon Receiver.

PMA8000BT controls

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

The power switch controls all audio selector panel functions, intercom and

marker beacon receiver.

When the unit is turned off, either by pressing the volume control, or if the

breaker is pulled removing power, the PMA8000BT is in Fail-Safe mode. In

this mode, the pilot’s headset is connected to COM 1 for transmit and re-

ceive, and connected to unswitched input #1 for priority audio alerts. The fail

safe audio will only be heard in the left ear of a

stereo headset.

Communications Transmit (XMT)

Selection (2)

To select Com 1 or Com 2 for transmit, press the

button on the bottom row, next to the XMT leg-

end. The bottom and top button indicators light,

showing that you will transmit and receive on the selected radio.

Receiver selection

202-890-0702 Page 3Dec. 2016 PMA8000BT Pilot Guide

Communications Receive (RCV) Selection (3)

To listen to the other radio, press the upper button, in the RCV (receive) sec-

tion. When a com is selected for receive, it will stay selected until manually

deselected, even if you select, and then deselect its transmitter.

Unless the audio panel is in “split” mode, the PMA8000BT gives priority to

the pilot’s radio Push-To-Talk (PTT).

If the Monitor function is activated (Function B), the audio from this radio

will be muted when the primary radio (selected for transmit) is receiving a

signal.

In TEL mode, the pilot is con-

nected to the cell phone, but still

hears the COM radios selected.

The radio PTT will switch the

mic to the selected com, and

allow continued aircraft commu-

nications to continue. (See Page

6—TEL—for more details)

Audio Selector (4)

These buttons select the switched navigation receivers. The

DME input (if present) is also shared with AUX. In SPLIT

mode, only the pilot will hear selected navigation audio.

Cockpit Speaker (5)

This switch will place all selected audio on the cockpit speaker when this

switch is selected. In “Split” mode, the speaker carries the same audio as the

pilot.

Depending on installation, important audio alerts such as radar altimeter or

autopilot disconnect will come over the speaker even if it is not selected,

while other unswitched inputs, will only be present if the SPR button is se-

lected. Consult your professional avionics installer for these important con-

figuration details.

Intercom Operation

IntelliVox® VOX-Squelch

IntelliVox® is PS Engineering’s proprietary intercom squelch control.

Through the use of digital processors, each microphone is monitored, and

opens instantly when human speech is detected. This results in seamless con-

versations aboard the airplane for crew and passengers, without syllable clip-

ping or fatigue-inducing noise.

No adjustment of the IntelliVox® squelch control is necessary. There is no

Page 4 202-890-0702 PMA8000BT Pilot Guide Rev. 9

field adjustment. The system is designed to block continuous tones, therefore

people humming or whistling in monotone may be blocked after a few mo-

ments.

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 important to have the microphone element parallel to your mouth,

and not twisted inside the cover.

Note: For optimum microphone performance, we recommend use of a Mi-

crophone Muff Kit from Oregon Aero (1-800-888-6910,

www.oregonaero.com ). This will not only optimize VOX performance, but

will improve the overall clarity of all your communications.

You should also keep the microphone out of a direct wind. Moving your

head through an 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). Therefore, it may not always recognize

speech and clip syllables in a quiet area, such as in the hangar, or without the

engine running. This is also normal.

Intercom Volume Control (7)

The small 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 larger, outer volume control knob controls intercom volume for the pas-

sengers. It has no effect on radio or music levels.

Mono Headsets in Stereo Installation

The pilot and copilot positions work with stereo or mono headsets. If a mon-

aural headset is plugged in to a PMA8000BT Stereo installation, one channel

will be shorted and all passengers will lose one channel unless they switch to

the “MONO” mode on the headset.

Intercom Modes (8) The intercom has three 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 Mute but-

ton.

This button cycles through the intercom modes,

from top to bottom and then back up.

ISO:The pilot is isolated from the intercom and is connected only to the air-

craft radio system. He hears the radios (and sidetone during radio transmis-

sions). The copilot and passengers will hear the music sources as configured

by the audio panel configuration Function keys. See page 11—Smart Func-

tion Keys for more details.

202-890-0702 Page 5Dec. 2016 PMA8000BT Pilot Guide

While in ISO Mode, the pilot can elect to hear music #1. First, be sure that

the ISO mode is selected. Then hold the ICS mode button for more than one

second. The ICS indicator will blink slowly to indicate music is present in

ISO. The music muting will be the selected mode.

ALL:All parties will hear the aircraft radio and intercom. Crew will hear

Music 1, passengers can hear Music 1 or 2. The music mutes in accordance

with the muting mode selected.

CRW: (Crew) Pilot and copilot are connected on one intercom channel and

have exclusive access to the aircraft radios. The passengers have their own

intercom. The music that the crew and passengers will hear is determined by

the Smart Function Keys.

Marker Beacon Operation (9)

The Marker Beacon Receiver uses visual

and audio indicators to alert you when the

aircraft passes over a Beacon transmitter.

The Blue, Outer Marker lamp 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.

The Amber, Middle Marker lamp is coupled with a 1300 Hertz tone, keyed

alternately with short 'dot' and long 'dash' bursts at 95 combinations per min-

ute.

The White, Inner marker lamp has a 3000 Hertz 'dot'

tone, and will be keyed at a rate of six times per sec-

ond.

Marker Beacon Receiver audio can be heard by select-

ing the "MKR" push-button switch. There is a service adjustment located on

the top of the unit to adjust the volume if desired.

The MKR button located next to the indicator lights

is used to set the receiver sensitivity and to test the

indicator lamps mute the marker audio.

Pressing the MKR button for one second will cause

the marker audio to mute. The next beacon received will re-activate the au-

dio.

Holding the MKR button for one second also activates marker test, labeled

"T/M" and illuminates all three lamps simultaneously to confirm the lamps

(internal and external) are working. Releasing the button returns to the last

sensitivity.

Split Mode

To activate the split mode, push both the COM 1

Page 6 202-890-0702 PMA8000BT Pilot Guide Rev. 9

and COM 2 XMT (bottom) buttons at the same time. All four indicators will

come on. In the split mode, the pilot is on COM 1, while the copilot is on

COM 2.

Select either of the com XMT buttons to exit the split mode. It is not possi-

ble to have the pilot on Com 2 and copilot on COM 1 in split mode.

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 aircraft conditions.

Telephone (TEL) (10)

The TEL mode serves as a full duplex interface and distribution for tele-

phone systems such as portable cellular phones with earpiece jacks or Blue-

tooth connectivity. Pressing the button connects the telephone to the users as

follows:

In ALL intercom mode, all crew and passengers will be heard on the phone

when they speak. Com and other selected radio audio is also heard in the

headsets. If the pilot or copilot pushes the radio PTT, their mic will be trans-

ferred to the selected Com radio. The telephone party will not hear ATC

communications, and vice versa.

In CREW mode, only the pilot and copilot are connected to the telephone.

Passengers will not hear the telephone.

In ISO intercom mode, 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. Selected radio audio is provided to the pilot.

In cases where the cellular telephone doesn’t provide sidetone, the audio

panel can be configured, by holding the TEL and ADF buttons for more than

one second, to create sidetone for you.

Warning:

United States FCC Regulations contained in 47 CFR § 22.925 contain prohi-

bition on airborne operation of cellular telephones. “Cellular telephones in-

stalled in or carried aboard airplanes, balloons or any other type of aircraft

must not be operated while such aircraft are airborne (not touching the

ground). When any aircraft leaves the ground, all cellular telephones on

board that aircraft must be turned off.”

Utility Jack

The 2.5 millimeter (3/32”) jack on the front of the PMA8000BT has three

distinct functions:

Cell phone input (wired)

Quick reference PMA8000BT Operation

This pull-out section covers advanced operation of the PMA8000BT.

Bluetooth Connection

1. Turn on the PMA8000BT.

2. From your Bluetooth enabled device, search for other devices,

and select the PMA8000BT.

3. If an access code is required, enter “0000” to connect to the

PMA8000BT, unless this is changed (see FAQ #2)

You can now make and receive calls with the audio directed through

the audio panel, and stream music to Music input 1.

The Bluetooth module can be turned off, of desired, by pushing the

AUX and ADF buttons while the unit is being turned on. The module

will reset when unit power is cycled.

Bluetooth® FAQ

1. Some Bluetooth terms to know:

Hands Free —audio panel acts as a hands free telephone hand-

set

Stereo headset —the audio panel will receive music audio

streaming from the PMA8000BT.

Pairing —is when two Bluetooth devices establish communica-

tion and “agree” to connect. This occurs the first time the devices

“meet” and they will store the information to reconnect easily in

the future.

Discoverable — the PMA8000BT is always “discoverable.” That

means it will allow any Bluetooth device within range to detect

its presence and attempt to pair. Pairing will only occur when

both devices agree, so you will have to accept the pairing on your

device.

Connection —this occurs when Bluetooth devices that have

been previously paired see each other again and reestablish their

communication. This can happen automatically, or by prompting

the user to accept the connection again. The PMA8000BT will

always look for paired devices when it is turned on, and connect

with the first one that allows connection.

2.What access code do I use?

a. If your phone requires an access code to complete the pairing,

you can use 0000 (all zeros). See the table if you wish to

change the audio panels access code to “1234,” or “1111”.

Page 8 202-890-0702 PMA8000BT Pilot Guide Rev. 9

3. How many devices can I pair with the audio panel?

a. You can pair up to eight devices. After that, the audio panel

will “forget” one device when another is added. Due to the

nature Bluetooth, we can’t predict which device will be

dropped. If your desired device is dropped, simply re-pair the

one you want.

4. How many devices can I use at the same time?

a. You can connect multiple devices such as a Smartphone and an

iPad for music, but only one telephone can be connected to the

audio panel at a time.

5. Can I use a different music source other than my phone?

a. Yes, you can. However the music device, must be paired and

connected second, after the telephone is paired. In Smart-

phone such as Androids, you should specifically disable the

Bluetooth phone or music portion, depending on function to be

used. Note, if an iPhone is connected second, you may not be

able to stop it from taking over the music. Some phones must

manually select the PMA8000BT as an audio source for the

phone after the music is connected.

6. My Smartphone didn’t reconnect, what do I do?

A. It is possibly due to corruption of the stored information.

To reset the Bluetooth, turn the unit off. Put the pilot side

headset on. Hold down NAV2 and MKR switches at the same

time, and turn on the audio panel, continuing to hold both

switches for about 5 seconds, or until there is a "ding" sound

in headset. This clears all paired Bluetooth devices.

Apple iPhone users may have to set their Settings,

“Accessibility” selection for “Incoming Calls” and select

“Headset” instead of “Default.”

7. Can I play my laptop movie audio?

a. If your laptop is compatible as Bluetooth A/V source (not all

are), yes. Just add the PMA8000BT as a Bluetooth device as

you would a stereo speaker device. There are also Bluetooth

devices available (such as the Sony TMR-BT10A Bluetooth

Transmitter Adapter) to plug into the audio output jack that

will enable you to stream music to the audio panel. Note: lap-

top computers with spinning hard drives may fail to work

abut 7,500’, due to a loss of air pressure on the disc mecha-

nism.

8. Can the Bluetooth be played through Music 2?

a. No. However, you can engage Music Function, “Music 1, all

headsets.”

9. My music quality is very poor, and can only be heard in TEL

mode, what’s wrong?

a. Check your Smartphone, and be sure that it is paired with the

PMA8000BT as a “speaker” or “wireless speaker” in A2DP

mode.

10. How can I reset the Bluetooth?

a. If the Bluetooth seems to have con-

nection problems, reset it by holding

down the NAV2 and ADF buttons

while Turing the audio panel on. Then “Forget Device” on the

smart phone, and re-pair.

Split Mode

The Split mode puts the pilot on COM 1, while the copilot can use

COM 2 independently. To enter the split mode, press both the COM 1

and COM 2 XMT buttons at the same time. To exit, press the desired

COM 1 or COM 2 XMT button.

When you activate the Split mode, the intercom is inhibited to avoid

confusion with multiple conversations. To

reactivate the intercom, press the Mute but-

ton.

Note: Split Mode does not turn off Nav,

ADF, or Aux selected audio to pilot. How-

ever, the copilot will only hear the selected

com receiver and unswitched inputs.

Page 10 202-890-0702 PMA8000BT Pilot Guide Rev. 9

Telephone Operation

When the TEL button is active, the cellular telephone is added to the

intercom loop, and who is connected to the phone depends on the in-

tercom mode.

You can answer a call by pushing the TEL button

while it is ringing. Calls can be answered from the

telephone handset or the audio panel. You can dis-

connect from either the handset or the audio panel.

When a call is disconnected or dropped, the TEL

button indicator will extinguish after a few moments.

Music Muting

Music source #1 (front panel jack and Music 1 input) has three muting

modes, which are announced in the headset as they are activated.

These are: Radio Mute (aircraft radio mutes music), Mute on (radio

and intercom mutes music), and Mute off (nothing interrupts music).

Press the Mute button to cycle through the modes in sequence.

Music #2 has muting on or off, and is externally controlled.

Music in pilot isolate mode

The pilot can elect to listen to Music 1, even in the Pilot Isolate mode.

While already in the ISO mode, press and hold the ISO button untilthe

in-

dicator blinks. The ICS indicator will then blink every few seconds to

indicate this mode is active. Music muting will follow the modes

listed above.
