DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. GENERAL
This Component Maintenance Manual describes the Model FA2100/757A, Cockpit Voice
Recorder, FA2100CVR, p/n’s: 2100-1010-( ), 2100-102X-( ), and 2100-122X-( ). The
FA2100CVR is a highly reliable recorder that is designed to meet the performance re-
quirements of ED-56A or ED
−
112 and to accept requirements of ARINC 557/757A Char-
acteristics including Rotor Speed Encoder (RSE) and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) inter-
face. The FA2100 CVR recorder is designed as a maintenance free recorder. There is no
periodic or scheduled maintenance required for this recorder. It is considered an “install
and forget it box.”
NOTE:
The CVDR has a time
−
in
−
can circuit that is used to date/
time stamp the downloaded voice or flight data files. This
is not a function of the readout time displayed for voice or
data. The GMT inputs are the true time of the recording.
Data can also be displayed during readout as relative time,
based on file size.
If the file date time stamp is not displaying the proper time
of the download, this is not a fault condition that will im-
pede the normal recording operation of the recorder. The
unit should not be pulled from service for a faulty time in a
can date/time stamp error. This condition should be noted
and fixed at the next shop visit.
The FA2100CVR Recorder is an ARINC 404, 1/2 ATR short box which performs the cock-
pit voice recorder function of an ED-56A, or in the case of 2100
