allows the user to listen to the receiver(s) selected on the cabin speaker. Except for the
unswitched inputs, all speaker audio is muted during transmit.
A rotary switch selects one of the three communication transceivers for the pilot and co-
pilot position, and allows radio transmission. In "Split Mode" the PMA7000M-S has the
ability to allow the pilot and copilot to operate different transceivers independently. The
TEL mode allows the pilot to use the cellular telephone interface. External switches per-
mit telephone operation for the copilot and passengers.
A fail-safe mode connects the pilot headphone and microphone to COM 1 if power is re-
moved for any reason, or if the power switch is placed in the Off (Fail-safe) position.
A six-station voice activated (VOX) intercom is included in the PMA7000M-S. This sys-
tem has PS Engineering’s exclusive
IntelliVox™
circuitry that eliminates manual adjust-
ments. The system contains six separate VOX mic circuits, and only opens the microphone
channel in use.
The intercom system incorporates pilot isolate and crew modes, two stereo (or mono de-
pending on unit) music inputs with "Soft Mute," and LED indicators for swap and trans-
mit indications. Intercom control is through front panel-mounted knob and 3 position
mode switch. A single volume controls intercom level for the pilot and copilot. Passenger
headphone volume is factory set, and adjusted in flight with headset-mounted volume
controls. Passenger volume control is further adjustable through screwdriver access in the
top of the unit. Intercom squelch is automatic.
An optional 3-light Marker Beacon receiver is integrated in the PMA7000M-S. This pro-
vides the necessary Marker Beacon lights and audio indications necessary for an Instru-
ment Landing System (ILS) approach.
