aerocom® III Portable Stereo Intercom with IntelliVox® PILOTS GUIDE Flying Never Sounded So Good® aerocom® III Operation Manual 200-003-0002 Rev 5 Page 1 September 2013
Congratulations on your purchase of the PS Engineering Inc® aerocom III®, the intelligent choice in portable intercoms. Please read this manual fully to take advantage of the aerocom III features. With the aerocom III, both the pilot and copilot have radio transmit capabilities. Only the person who presses their Push To Talk (PTT) will be heard over the aircraft radio. If both pilot and copilot press the PTT, the copilot will override.
If there is no PTT installed, and only the pilot position desires to transmit, connect a remote PTT between the aerocom III and aircraft mic jack, as shown in Fig 3. If both pilot and copilot positions are Push to Talk Part of the aerocom III operation includes the use of PTT (Push-ToTalk) switches (not included) that allow the use of your aircraft communications radio for transmissions. There are several possible configurations. Only the person pressing their PTT will be heard over the radio.
9V battery (Duracell MN1604, or equiv.). After about 12 hours of use, the battery will be exhausted. At this point the copilot position can no longer transmit, extending the remaining battery life, although the intercom is still active. At this time the battery should be replaced, or the aerocom III disconnected from the aircraft. The aerocom III does have a fail safe system, so the pilot can continue to use the aircraft radio when the battery is depleted.
Interconnect Warranty Refer to Fig. 5 for jack locations. The aerocom III has a ⅛” jack for Stereo Music, a power jack for aircraft power, which disconnects the battery. The aerocom III is expandable to 4-place intercom using the 2717A expansion unit and the expansion jack.
