Model FA2100 CVR Cockpit Voice Recorder
Refer to Figure 2 for this discussion. The FA2100 CVR is a Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) that
simultaneously records four separate channels of cockpit audio, converts the audio to a digital format,
and stores the data in a solid state memory. The FA2100 CVR is available in two recording
configurations: 30-minute, Part Number 21001010( ), and 120-minute, Part Number 21001020( ).
Both configurations record a minimum of 30 minutes of high quality audio from the following four
cockpit audio inputs:
Channel 1:
Channel 2:
Channel 3:
Channel 4:
Cockpit Spare Audio Input (3rd Crew Member, Public Address System)
Co-Pilots Audio, Boom, Mask, and Hand-Held Microphone Input
Pilots Audio, Boom, Mask and Hand-Held Microphone Input
Cockpit Area Microphone (CAM) Input
Part Number 21001020( ) records a fifth internal audio stream for a minimum of 120 minutes. This
fifth internal audio stream is a standard quality recording of the combination of the Pilot, Co-Pilot, and
Public Address or Third Crew Member audio inputs. Part Number 21001020( ) also records a sixth
audio stream, a standard quality recording of the Cockpit Area Microphone (CAM) audio input, for a
minimum of 120 minutes. (Table 2 illustrates the recording specifications for the cockpit audio input and
combined channels.) The audio inputs are conditioned, amplified, and equalized as necessary. The
resulting signals are converted to digital pulse code modulation (PCM) data.
The FA2100 FA2100 CVR can record Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) Time via the ARINC 429 GMT
input and can record rotor speed data via the Rotor Speed input.
In ARINC 757 installations, the CVR Fault Line provides continuous status of FA2100 CVR operation.
It may be connected to an annunciator or to an aircraft central maintenance computer.
At startup, the FA2100 CVR initiates a Built-in-Test (BIT) and then continuously monitors itself for fault
conditions.

Installation Precautions
Approval of the Model FA2100 CVR installation is not authorized by this Installation and Operating
Instruction Manual. Acceptance of the installation and use of the FA2100 CVR and its associated
components must be sought from the cognizant Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) office or other
certifying authority. Approvals may be accomplished on a Field Approval basis if the installation is
determined to meet the criteria of the appropriate Post-Installation, Preflight, and Flight tests specified for
evaluation in this Installation Manual. (Refer to paragraph 3.3.) Proposed installations should be
coordinated with the local jurisdiction of the FAA or other certifying authority before beginning recorder
installation.
Refer to the following statement which was extracted from FAA TSOC123a:
The conditions and tests required for TSO approval of this article are minimum performance standards. It is the responsibility of those desiring to install this article either on or
within a specific type or class of aircraft to determine that the aircraft installation conditions
are within the TSO standards. The article may be installed only if further evaluation by the
applicant documents an acceptable installation and is approved by the Administrator.
3.2
General Information
Installation of the Recorder, Control Unit, and Remote Microphone Module is per ARINC Characteristic
757 dated December 29, 1993.
The Federal Aviation Administration has issued several Advisory Circulars which may be referred to in
the approval processes. Advisory Circular 25.14571a specifically addresses one acceptable means of
compliance with Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) 25.1457 (b), (e), and (f). Installations must conform
to the Operating Rules in FAR23.1457, 25.1457, 27.1457, and 29.1457 appropriate to the category of
operation under FAR Parts 91, 135, and 121 (Air Carrier).
The Bulk ERASE connection is not mandated by the FAA, therefore, it is an installation option. The
circuitry required for Bulk ERASE includes the installation of interlock devices on board the aircraft. If
Rev. 07
Jan. 01/03
165E184600
Page 13
the Bulk ERASE feature is installed, at least one interlock is required to prevent accidental erasure of the
FA2100 CVR. If the BULK ERASE feature is not desired, pin 55 (ERASE A) of the FA2100 CVR must
be grounded to pin 17. Pin 57 remains open.
3.3
An applicant for Field Approval of a CVR installation must be properly certified and appropriately rated,
qualified, and equipped to accomplish the installation and approve the aircraft for return-to-service. The
CVR should be installed in accordance with the instructions and limitations contained in this Installation
Manual. Installation drawings and other information, such as structural data showing the method of
attachment of the CVR components to the airframe, wiring diagrams, appropriate weight and balance
data, and identification of all CVR system components used in the installation should be made available
to the Inspector conducting the Field Approval.
The CVR Installation Manual containing Operating Instructions and System Description must be made
available to the inspector for review and evaluation of the CVR System. The applicant must submit an
FAA Form 337, describing the work performed to the airframe to accomplish the installation of the CVR
System. The Form 337 must also include a statement that a complete Audio System Interface Test
(reference paragraph 5.2) was performed as required.
The applicant must indicate that the Cockpit Area Microphone is installed in the recommended locations
identified in FAA Advisory Circular 25.14571A and in accordance with the instructions contained in
this Installation Manual. The applicant should submit all appropriate data and drawings to the inspector
before the installation of the Cockpit Voice Recorder. Any deviations to the installation instructions
contained in this Installation Manual must be brought to the inspectors attention and be so identified on
the Form 337.
Finally, ground and flight tests must be conducted to verify that the Audio System Interface is
satisfactory and that normal conversation can be discerned from the Cockpit Area Microphone and the
individual Pilot, Co-Pilot, and appropriate Third Crew Member or Public Address stations. The CVR
System must be verified to be free of any objectionable audio interference and other unwanted noise.
Any discrepancies identified during the ground and flight tests must be brought to the inspectors
attention and corrected before the aircraft can be returned to service.
If required, Aviation Recorders can reproduce the CVR memory contents onto cassettes for channel
separation and evaluation. Contact the Product Support Department to coordinate this process. If you
prefer to make your own reproduction, refer to section 6.0.

The Model FA2100 CVR should be installed in the aircraft fuselage location provided for this purpose by
the airframe manufacturer, as far aft as practicable. The recommended orientation is mounted in an
upright position (vertical as viewed from the front).
3.5
Mounting
The Model FA2100 CVR is certified and approved for installation in aircraft environments within the
limits of RTCA/DO160C Curve C. Installation accessories (CVR Mount and Mount Connectors) are
described in paragraph 1.4.4.
165E184600
Page 14
Rev. 07
Jan. 01/03
On aircraft with an existing CVR Vibration Mount such as Part Number 9300-343 or equivalent, or with
an existing Heavy Duty CVR Vibration Mount such as Part Number 93955 or equivalent, it is not
necessary to retrofit this mounting tray with a hard-mounted tray.
Refer to Figure 4 for CVR Mount outline and dimension illustration.
3.6
Power Requirements
Unless impractical, the FA2100 CVR should be powered from a bus other than the bus used to provide
power to the Flight Data Recorder. Each bus will need to meet the supply reliability requirements
appropriate for the recorders being powered.
The FA2100 CVR operates with input voltages of either 115 Vac at 400 Hz, or 28 Vdc. The FA2100
CVRs draw a maximum of 12 watts ac or 10.5 watts dc. The electrical connector is a 57-pin DPXB
connector that is compatible with ARINC 757 (Part Number is 063E107200, Cannon Part Number
DPXB3657159). This connector mates with the connector on the aircraft wiring harness.
3.7
Wiring Connections
The typical electrical interconnect wiring between the recorder and the aircraft is specified in ARINC
Characteristic 757. Connections to the FA2100 CVR J1 connector depend on the installation
configuration. Refer to Appendix A for appropriate Interwiring Diagram.
3.8
The FA2100 CVR is used in an ARINC 757 configuration, with interface to the aircraft provided through
a 57-pin DPXB rear panel connector.
The range of acceptable audio input levels for the Model FA2100 CVR is from
50 mVrms to 3 Vrms. Nominal audio level input is 1 Vrms.
The Model FA2100 CVR provides for four audio inputs which are connected as follows:
Channel 1:
Channel 2:
Channel 3:
Channel 4:
Cockpit Spare Audio Input (3rd Crew Member, Public Address System)
Co-Pilots Audio, Boom, Mask, and Hand-Held Microphone Input
Pilots Audio, Boom, Mask and Hand-Held Microphone Input
Cockpit Area Microphone (CAM) Input
Older aircraft audio systems may require rework to ensure recording of ATC (Air Traffic Control),
Intercom, Mask Microphone, and Sidetone audio, independent of mode selection on the audio control
panel. In some cases, selection of the loudspeaker function disables side tone output; therefore,
transmissions from ATC may not be recorded. Such conditions must be remedied to assure continuous
reception of audio from the communications radios.
Old Systems: Rework the audio control panel or system to provide a CVR output or install an external
summing amplifier. Summing amplifiers can be obtained from Avtec, Baker Electronics, Racal, and
others. No changes to the CVR are required.
New Systems: Some later-generation audio control panels have a CVR signal output already provided.
A summing amplifier may be required to provide recording of the boom microphone. The Installer is
responsible for determining the means of interfacing to comply with the regulations.

Future Systems: Audio control panels and systems designed to meet or exceed the characteristics of
Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics RTCA/DO170 for hot boom microphone capability
may be determined to be acceptable.
3.9
The most desirable location for the Cockpit Area Microphone is forward of a vertical plane oriented
laterally through the pilots and co-pilots normal head position. The Cockpit Area Microphone must face
the crew members. Refer to Figure 5 for an illustration of the preferred placement for the Cockpit Area
Microphone. Ensure that the microphone is mounted such that the exposed portion of the microphone
element is unobstructed.

3.10 Cessation of Recording
Federal Air Regulations 23.1457 (d), (2), 25.1457 (d), (2), 27.1457 (d), (2), and 29.1457 (d), (2) state that
There [must be] an automatic means to simultaneously stop the recorder and prevent each erasure
feature from functioning, within 10 minutes after crash impact. The Installer must demonstrate this
function.
Since the FA2100 CVR System can be powered by either 115 Vac at 400 Hz, or 28 Vdc, the following
methods are acceptable to ensure automatic cessation of recording:
165E184600
Page 16
Rev. 07
Jan. 01/03
A.
Engine-driven 115 Vac, 400 Hz Source: If power input is derived directly from an engine-driven
115 Vac, 400-Hz source, (not derived from an AC Inverter), no other external circuitry is necessary.
It is assumed that the engine(s) will stop upon crash impact.
B.
Impact Switch: An impact switch interrupts FA2100 CVR power upon exposure to a predetermined level of g-force. Such switches have limitations, but are effective in high g-force accidents.
This item is not available through Aviation Recorders. (Refer to Appendix C for manufacturers
specifications for available models.)
C.
ARINC 757 Shutdown Signal: The FA2100 CVR continuously monitors the ARINC 757 shutdown signal that can be supplied to the recorder via pin 10 of the rear panel connector. If the aircraft can no longer sustain flight under its own power, a ground would be applied to pin 10. If this
signal remains active for approximately 10 consecutive minutes, recording of data will cease.
The recording will resume if the shutdown signal goes inactive or upon activation of the Push-toTest function. If the recording is resumed due to execution of the Push-to-Test, the recording
will again cease within 10 minutes if the shutdown signal is still active. Refer to section 3.11 of
ARINC 757 for further information.
4.0
POST-INSTALLATION CHECKOUT
The following tests and results must be documented in the CVR Installation Checklist and submitted
with the data package for field approval consideration:
1.
Before applying power to the FA2100 CVR System and associated components, verify that all
connections are secure and that a continuity or other interconnect assurance test has been conducted.
2.
Apply power to the system and activate the FA2100 CVRs self-test. To activate self-test,
press and hold the green TEST button for a minimum of five seconds.
3.
4.
Speak in a normal voice 6-inches away from the Control Unit microphone while listening in
the headset. Note that you can hear what you say without any delay or significant distortion.
This test ensures that the microphone is operating.
5.
The Portable Interface (PI), Part Number 17TES0043, can be used to individually monitor the
four audio channels as they are being recorded by the FA2100 CVR. The PI is connected to
the FA2100 CVR via a 10-foot cable that is plugged into the FA2100 CVRs front panel GSE
connector (refer to Figure 6). The PI receives power from the FA2100 CVR. For a description of the PI, descriptions of the menu functions, and PI operation, refer to the Portable Interface Operators Manual (Part Number 165E163000).
NOTE:
Rev. 07

Recommended minimum wire size is #22; however, wire size #24 is electrically permissible
except for long-run power leads where #18 wire is recommended (pins 2, 3, 9, & 17). Wire
resistance should not exceed 1 ohm for power leads and should not exceed 5 ohms for signal
leads. All wiring should be MILW22759 or MILC27500.

Recommended minimum wire size is #22; however, wire size #24 is electrically permissible
except for long-run power leads where #18 wire is recommended (pins 2, 3, 9, & 17). Wire
resistance should not exceed 1 ohm for power leads and should not exceed 5 ohms for signal
leads. All wiring should be MILW22759 or MILC27500.
2.
Only one power source is to be wired per aircraft. If 115 Vac, 400 Hz is supplied, no connection is to be made to pin 9. If 27.5 Vdc is supplied, no connection is to be made to pins 2 & 3.
Shorting pins 1 & 2 is optional.
3.
Single ground point. Ground connection to be within 1 foot of pin 17, heavy gauge wire.
4.
Jumper in aircraft connector. Without this jumper, the unit will not record or erase previously
recorded information, bulk erase will not activate, and test will indicate NOGO.
5.

7.
Twisted shielded cable. Shields to be grounded at the recorder using short connections.
8.
If the power source has battery back-up, a means for terminating recording after a crash
should be included in the aircraft wiring. Grounding pin 10 terminates recording within 10
minutes.
9.
BITE status output: ground = no fault, open = fault or CVR not installed.

11.
Per FAA Action Notice A8300.56 dated Jan. 24, 1990, the wiring to Channels 1 and 3 may be
transposed; that is, Channel 1 will be Pilot and Channel 3 will be Third Crew Member or PA
System.

General
This Test Set is a battery-powered heterodyne type receiver,
tunable in the ultrasonic range of 30 to 45 kHz, producing an
output in the audible range. It is intended primarily for use as a
hand-held, self-contained Test Set designed to be used in
connection with the installation and maintenance of Underwater
Acoustic Beacons. By utilizing the self-contained microphone
and loudspeaker, the Test Set can perform an operational test on
a beacon without removing the beacon from its mount on the
aircraft.
Several optional modes of operation are possible through the
use of external pickup devices fed into the accessory INPUT
jack. For example, attachment of any hydrophone of suitable
frequency range to the BNC input permits use of the Test Set
as a field demonstration and training device with a beacon up
to 1000 yards away in the water.
We reserve the right to change the design and specification of goods supplied, without
notice, to incorporate improvements in design and manufacturing techniques.
