DA80 Series DigiVOX™ Digital Intercom Manual  

SM57 Rev. 4.10 

 

 

2.3.5 

 Installation Options 

The DA80 DigiVOX™ is designed to be used in place of the AA80-001 InterVOX™ unit. 

 

When using a portable cassette/CD player with the DA80, NAT recommends that the 
phone output should be used for interface to increase tone control and volume.  (The 
‘line out’ output lacks volume and tone control.)  Set the volume about half way. 

 

CAUTION 

 

Certain aircraft installations may use a car type, am/fm cassette or CD 
player. If it is necessary to use the ‘speaker’ outputs from the stereo 
unit, a floating ground adapter and input attenuation network (resistors) 
may be required to provide the correct system interconnect and to 
prevent damage to the music input(s) of the DA80. 

 

2.3.6  

Adjustments 

The unit ships from the factory with all internal adjustments set to the normal test levels.  
Once installed in the aircraft, it may be desirable to change some of these settings to 
best suit the local operating environment.  The internal adjustments are located along 
the left side of the unit and are as follows: 

 

CAUTION 

 

Before performing the following adjustments ensure the aircraft radio’s 
volume control is set to produce 2.5 Vrms 

±

10 % at the input to the 

DA80, or the mute functions may not operate correctly. 

 
2.3.6.1 RECEIVE 

LEVEL 

 

The setting can be adjusted by potentiometer RECEIVE LEVEL.  The setting cannot be 
fully muted. The cw rotation of this control will increase Receive audio input level. 
 
2.3.6.2 TX 

LEVEL 

 

The setting can be adjusted by potentiometer TX LEVEL.  The setting cannot be fully 
muted. The cw rotation of this control will increase TX Mic output signal level. 
 
2.3.6.3 MUSIC 

LEVEL 

 

The setting can be adjusted by potentiometer MUSIC LEVEL.  The setting cannot be 
fully muted. The cw rotation of this control will increase music audio volume level.
