2.3.3 

Cabling and Wiring 

All unshielded wire should be Tefzel MIL-M-22759 or equivalent.  For shielded wire applications, use 
Tefzel MIL-C-27500 shielded wire with solder sleeves (for shield terminations) to make the most compact 
and easily terminated interconnect.  Follow the wiring diagrams in Section 2.6 as required. 

To prevent system failure or inadequate equipment protection, supply power from a dedicated 1.0 A 
circuit breaker. 

2.3.4 Installation 

Options 

The AA36-100 can be set to support the following installation configurations: 

 NAT 

or 

SuperNAT 

bi-

directional ICS tie to ‘universal’ bi

-directional (e.g. dB systems, Gemelli, Andrea, 

etc.) 

 

NAT to SuperNAT bi-directional tie lines 

 NAT 

or 

SuperNAT 

bi-

directional to ‘universal’ unidirectional (e.g. mic and phones)

The PHONES source for the ‘universal’ unidirectional tie line may contain intercom and/or radio audio.  

Verify that this information will be acceptable for connection to the new audio/intercom system (i.e. AEM 
product) before proceeding with the planned installation. 

The AA36-100 is designed for use with 4 different proprietary bi-directional tie lines. Each tie line has 
unique voltage and impedance levels. Driving these proprietary tie lines with incorrect power levels may 
damage the AA36-100 or the proprietary audio intercom system. 

Utilizing solder sleeves, create up to 3 shield 
pigtails in the wiring harness, as shown in the 

Interconnect Diagram 

(AA36\100\403-0, Rev 

1.00 or higher). Each pigtail should be no more 

than 3.0” long.

Note

:

The hood is a ‘two

-

piece’ unit, and is 

assembled after the wiring is complete.

All wiring should be at least 24 AWG, except 
power and ground lines, which should be at 
least 20 AWG. Ensure that all ground 
connections are clean and well secured.
