EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The AeroPanel 100 is a state-of-the-art audio isolation amplifier and audio selector that contains an automatic
voice activated (VOX) intercom system and integral marker beacon receiver. It can switch two transceivers
(Com 1, Com 2) and four receivers; Nav 1, Nav 2, MKR and AUX (ADF & DME).
A full duplex TEL mode allows the AeroPanel 100 to act as an audio interface between aircraft headphone
and microphones and specific aircraft approved (FAA/FCC) cellular telephone equipment, through the Blue-
tooth connection.
Warning
: Use of non-aviation approved cellular telephone equipment may be prohibited by FCC regulation.
BendixKing is not responsible for unauthorized airborne use of cellular telephones.
For airborne use, the AeroPanel 100 must be interfaced with an approved system.
There are four unswitched inputs, available for traffic or EGPWS, autopilot disconnect, and/or radar altimeter
warning.
Pushbuttons select the receiver audio source provided to the headphones. A SPR button allows the user to
listen to the receiver(s) selected on the cabin speaker. Except for the unswitched inputs, all speaker audio is
muted during transmit. Unswitched inputs 1, 3, and 4 are always presented to the aircraft speaker. Unswitched
input 2 will be presented to the speaker when the front panel SPR push button has been selected.
Pushbutton switches select one of the communication transceivers for the pilot and copilot position, and allow
radio transmission. In "Split Mode" the AeroPanel 100 has the ability to allow the pilot to transmit on Com
1 while the copilot can transmit on Com 2. A fail-safe mode connects the pilot headphone and microphone
to COM 1 if power is removed for any reason, or if the power switch is placed in the Off (Fail-safe) position.
Unswitched input #1 is also provided to the pilot headphone in fail-safe
A six-station voice activated (VOX) intercom is included in the AeroPanel 100. This system has patented
IntelliVox®
circuitry that eliminates manual adjustments. The intercom system incorporates pilot isolate, all
and crew modes, two independent stereo music inputs with "SoftMute™". Intercom volume control is
through two concentric front panel knobs and a pushbutton intercom mode switch. The small volume knob
controls the intercom level for the pilot and copilot, while the large knob controls the passenger intercom
volume. Intercom squelch is automatic.
