JA10-001 Audio Controller - Ten Transceiver
SECTION 1 - DESCRIPTION
1.1
System Overview
The JA10-001 Audio Controller - Ten Transceiver is part of an aircraft audio system consisting of an audio controller
and an optional control device.
The audio controller distributes and controls all transceiver and receiver audio in an aircraft. It routes microphone
audio to a selected transceiver and distributes all intercom audio.
The USER 1 operates the audio controller via the front panel controls. The USER 2 operates the audio controller via a
panel mount control device.
The audio controller can be used in a stand-alone configuration (one audio controller and one control device). An
emergency operating mode connects USER 1 to the COM 1 transceiver, the NAV 1 receiver and all four direct inputs,
and USER 2 to the COM 2 transceiver, NAV 2 receiver and all four Direct Audio sources.
The JA10-001 is set up on a per-installation basis using a configuration cable and a PC running the product
configuration tool to download system configuration settings via the front panel music / configuration connector. To
facilitate future customizations and certification, neither software nor complex electronic hardware are used in the
JA10-001 design.
