This section provides detailed operating instructions for the PS Engineering PAR200A, Audio Selector Panel/Intercom/VHF Communication Control Systems. Please read it carefully before using the equipment so that you can take full advantage of its capabilities. This section is divided into sections covering the basic operating areas of the PAR200A systems. They are Communications Transceiver Selection, Audio Selector, Intercom, VHF COM, entertainment, telephone, and display.
Communications Transmit (XMT) Selection (2) The two buttons C1 and C2 (# 2) in the XMT section control which communications radio is selected for transmit. The top row of pushbuttons (# 3) allows selection of the receiver audio. Push the lower button to select the desired COM transmitter. A green LED above the button illuminates to indicate that the audio is selected. The PAR200A has an automatic com receiver selector system.
COM Audio Selector (3) Communication audio from the other radio, not selected for transmit, can be heard by pressing the associated RCV button. You will always hear the audio from the selected transceiver. In SPLIT mode, only the pilot will hear selected navigation audio (N1 & N2). Navaid Audio selection (4) VHF Navigation receiver audio is selected through two momentary, pushbutton, backlit switches. The users can identify which receivers are selected by noting which green LEDs are lit above the button.
with receiver static quieted by automatic squelch. Power cycle and radio transmit (PTT) will reset ASQ to “on.” Frequency Storage The PAR200A will store five frequencies for future recall. To store frequencies: 1. Enter the desired frequency into the STBY frequency. 2. Press and hold the C1 RCV button until the display changes FREQ SELECT, to show only the STBY side. 3. Momentarily push the small (kHz) knob to display the list of locations. 4.
While receiving a signal on the active frequency - the standby channel is NOT monitored. While receiving a signal on the standby frequency - the active channel is periodically monitored. If a signal is found on the active frequency the TY91 will revert to the active frequency. After a signal has been received, the TY91L will return to monitoring both frequencies.
When someone speaks, only their microphone circuit opens, placing their voice on the intercom. The system is designed to block continuous tones; therefore people humming or whistling in monotone may be blocked after a few moments. 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)). NOTE It is also a good idea to keep the microphone out of a direct wind path.
Adjust the radios and intercom volume for a comfortable listening level. Most general aviation headsets today have built-in volume controls; therefore, volume also can be further adjusted at the individual headset. Intercom Modes (8) The “ICS” pushbutton switch on the lower left side of the panel provides the selection of the three intercom modes. The description of the intercom mode function is valid only when the unit is not in the "Split" mode.
phones are associated with the PAR200A at the same time, only the first phone will transfer audio to the panel. Telephone Operation When the Bluetooth-enabled phone receives an incoming call, the PAR200A will play a ring tone. Answer the call from your telephone handset On some Bluetooth devices you will have to select PAR200A manually as an audio source on the phone. The PAR200A exits the telephone mode automatically when the cellular phone hangs up.
presented to the passenger positions. Music 1 can be presented to all aircraft occupants in All or ISO if the Music 1 all headset switch (optional) is used at the rear connector control pin. Music Muting (9) There are two SoftMute™ muting circuits. The front panel "Mute" button has four modes, and controls the Mute function for music 1. Music 2 muting is controlled by an external switch, and has two modes.
Liquid Crystal Display Control The intensity of the LCD is automatically controlled by the photo sensor. In low light, the display contrast automatically inverts for easy viewing. Contrast on the LCD display can be controlled by using a service adjustment inside the unit. See installation Manual for details.
