PMA6000-Mono Pilot Guide 

OPERATION 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

SCOPE  

This section provides detailed operating instructions for the PS Engi-
neering PMA6000, PMA6000M, PMA6000C, and PMA6000M-C, 
Audio Selector Panel/Intercom Systems. Please read it carefully be-
fore using the equipment so that you can take full advantage of its 
capabilities.  

This section is divided into four sections covering the basic operating 
areas of the PMA6000 systems. They are: Audio Selector, Trans-
ceiver Selection, Intercom, and Marker Beacon Receiver  (6000M, 
and 6000M-C only). 

Audio Selector (All models) 

 

Figure 1 Audio Selector 

Through the use of two momentary 
and seven latched, push-button, 
back-lit switches, it is possible to 
select any or all receiver audio. C1 
and C2 are momentary switches.  

When selected, an internal backlight will illuminate indicating which 
audio source is selected. Because the rotary switch controls what 
transceiver is being heard by the pilot and copilot (the crew), 
"Cl" (Com 1) and "C2" (Com 2) push-buttons are of the momentary 
type and do not remain in when selected. This is also part of the "auto 
function." You will always hear the audio from the transceiver that is 
selected by the rotary mic selector switch. 

The users can identify which receivers are selected by noting which 
push-button switches are illuminated. Push buttons labeled

Upon first application of power to the unit, the Marker enters a self test 
mode. The flickering blue marker light indicates a test in process. If the 
test continues for more than 10 seconds, or the lamps do not extinguish, 
return the unit for service.
