Control Unit Test and Bulk Erase Signals
The indicator signal is used to drive the TEST indicator in the Model S151/S161,
Model S152/S162, and Model S251/S261 Control Units. Refer to the Component
Maintenance Manual, ED
−
56A Control Units, Preamplifier, & Microphone Modules ,
ATA 23–70–05, Part Number 165E1747-00. The +18 Vdc is a short-circuit protected
30 mA line.
All control units provide the FA2100 CVR with three control signals: Erase “A”, Erase
“C”, and Push-To-Test. The Erase “A” and Erase “C” signals are used to initiate a
bulk erasure of the crash protected solid-state memory. The ERASE pushbutton
must be pressed for more than two seconds and then released to initiate the bulk
erase function. Landing gear and brake interlocks are provided in the aircraft wiring
to prevent memory erasures during flight conditions.
The Bulk Erase function will not be activated if Voice Erase “A” is grounded or con-
nected to Voice Erase “C” for 0.5 seconds or less. The function will be activated if
Voice Erase “A” is connected to Voice Erase “C” for 2 seconds or more then
grounded.
The Push-To-Test signal is activated when the TEST pushbutton on the associated
control unit is pressed. During this time, a 620 Hz to 660 Hz signal is generated
