The audio selector panel must be supported at front and rear of the mounting tray. 2.3.4 Audio Panel Tray and Connector Assembly The rack back plate mates with two 44-pin connectors in each PMA8000D. The connectors are a subminiature crimp-type, and require the use a hand crimp tool, from table below (or equiv.).
PS Engineering PMA8000D Audio Selector Panel and Intercom System Installation and Operator’s Manual The shields can be daisy-chained together, and then connected to the ground lugs mounted on the back plate shown in Appendix B. Radiated signals can be a factor when low level microphone signals are "bundled" with current carrying power wires. Keep these cables physically separated.
PS Engineering PMA8000D Audio Selector Panel and Intercom System Installation and Operator’s Manual If an external dimmer control is not used, a constant back light illumination can be established for nighttime viewing. Pin 6 or 7 (depending on system voltage) must be tied to power (J2, pin 8 or 9) for the back lighting system to work. The photocell mounted in the unit face will automatically adjust the intensity of the push-button annunciator LEDs. 2.4.

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 PMA8000D systems.
PS Engineering PMA8000D Audio Selector Panel and Intercom System Installation and Operator’s Manual The PMA8000D “remembers” the receiver selection, so that when switching transmitters from COM 1 to COM 2, if COM 2 or COM 3 audio was previously selected, COM 1 audio will continue to be heard. This eliminates the pilot having to switch COM 1 audio back on, after changing transmitters. When switching from COM 1 to COM 2 or COM 3 while that COM was not previously selected, COM 1 audio will be switched off.
PS Engineering PMA8000D Audio Selector Panel and Intercom System Installation and Operator’s Manual Warning: United States FCC Regulations contained in 47 CFR § 22.925 contain prohibition on airborne operation of cellular telephones. “Cellular telephones installed 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).
