PMA8000BT Audio Selector Panel and Intercom System 

Installation and Operator’s Manual

Page 3-9 

Rev. 1, Oct. 2010 

When  Function  A  is  toggled  into  “

Alternate  Intercom  Function

,”  the  passengers  will  NOT hear aircraft 

radios, even in the all mode. They will be able to converse with the crew. However, when the aircraft radio 
becomes active, the intercom audio from the passengers is muted, allowing the crew to focus on the radio.   
The passengers will still be able to talk to each other.  

3.11.2  Function “B” (Monitor Mode) 

Pressing Function “B” will activate or deactivate the COM radio monitor fun ction. When the Monitor is 
on, the audio from the COM that is selected for reception only (only top LED illuminated) will be muted 
when the radio that is selected to transmit becomes active. 

This  function  is  useful  if  you  are  copying  weather  from  AWOS  on  COM  2,  but  have  clearance delivery 
tuned in on COM 1. With the monitor active, the AWOS audio will be silenced when clearance delivery 
starts to speak.  

When you press TEL and SPR, the audio will announce “Monitor on,” when activated, and “Monitor off” 
when deactivated.  

NOTE: This mode is NOT remembered through power cycles, to prevent inadvertent blocking of desired 
audio on your next trip. 

3.11.3  Function “C” (Music Distribution) 

Function Button “C” allows you either send the music 1 input to  all intercom stations, all of the time, or 
have other distribution rules apply to your music inputs. 

When “

Music one all headsets

” is selected, music 1 (from the rear connector input, Pins J2 23 & 24 only) 

will be distributed to all headsets and is independent of the intercom mode switch. Therefore, even in the 
CREW mode, the passengers will hear Music 1, even though they will not hear the intercom or radios.  

This  mode  allows  you  to  use  a  single  in-flight  entertainment  source  aboard,  and  to  send  it  everywhere, 
even  in  crew mode. The music muting will be normal, and follow the selected mode of the crew or pa s-
sengers.  

Function “C” also allows you to configure your music to be either 

independent

 of the intercom mode, or to 

make Music 2 

dependent 

on the intercom mode.  

When  you  press  Function  “C,”  again,  you’ll  hear,  “

Alternate

 

Music  distribution.

”  In  this  case,  Music  2 

will  be  active 

only

  when  the  intercom  is  in  the  CREW mode, and only the passengers will hear it. This 

distribution is similar to other brands of audio panels. It allows the passengers to have their music source 
come on only when they are not hearing the crew. In addition, the front panel jack input will be distri b-
uted to the passengers in ALL and ISO mode.  

Press again, and you will hear “

Standard

 

Music Distribution.

”  In this mode, Music 2 becomes active, and 

will always be presented to the passengers on the intercom. Music 1 is only available to the pilot and cop i-
lot. The intercom mode switch doesn’t have any affect on the music distribution.  

When the music is standard, Music 1 will always go to the pilot and copilot positions, and is  never heard 
by the passengers. Music 2 is always heard by the passengers, and never heard by the pilot and copilot.  

This mode is useful if your passengers have a different interest in entertainment or are watching a DVD, 
but do not want to be excluded from the intercom conversations.  

The pilot and copilot will always hear 

Music 1

 through the unit rear connector, or a source plugged into 

the front panel jack. This is present in ALL and CREW intercom modes, and available to the copilot pos i-
tion in ISO mode.  

The pilot can hear this music source in ISO mode, if desired, as follows: In the ISO mode, hold the Func-
tion  (TEL)  button,  and  press  the  ICS  mode  button  for  more  than  one  second.  The  ICS  mode  LED  will 
blink slowly to indicate music is connected to the pilot headset, although the intercom is not.
