CVR Fault Circuit for Pin 23
To checkout the operation of the Model FA2100CVR, its associated control unit, micro-
phone preamplifier PWA, and cockpit area microphone, connect a headset to the control
unit and, at a distance of approximately 6-inches, speak into the microphone at a normal
voice level. You should be able to hear your words without any significant distortion.
Bulk erasure of the Model FA2100CVR storage medium is accomplished using the
associated control unit red ERASE pushbutton switch. Aircraft wiring interlocks must be
set (that is, landing gear must be down and brakes locked) to allow the CSMU (solid-state
flash memory) to be erased. To erase the information stored in the flash memory, press
the ERASE pushbutton for more than 2 seconds and release. A 400-Hertz tone should
be heard via the headset for less than 10 seconds.
Should a problem be detected with the Model FA2100CVR and its associated control unit,
remove the units from the aircraft. To determine the fault, place the units on the test
bench for complete testing as listed in the procedures in the Testing Section.
