Section I GENERAL INFORMATION


1.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual is designed to provide background information to aid the PS Engineering
professional installers to efficiently interface In-flight Entertainment (IFE) System to au-
dio panels and intercoms. It contains information regarding the basic interface to com-
plex switching combinations.
This document does not replace the Installation Manuals for the specific PS Engi-
neering, or other manufacturer’s products. Refer to the product specific installation
manual for all of the installation procedures.

1.2 SCOPE
This manual provides interface information for PS Engineering products, including inter-
com, audio control panels, and in-flight entertainment systems. It also contains generic
information for other types and manufacturers; however, this information is not guaran-
teed accurate.

General Rules
2.1 Input devices

NOTE: Use the low level output of any entertainment device to connect
to the audio panel. Maximum signal level is 2 VAC p-p. DO NOT use a
speaker-level output, this will cause internal damage in the audio panel.
To interface a speaker level, install an AudioLink /PowerLink 101PL2 adapter, available
from Crutchfield at 1-800-955-3000 (804)-817-1000, sales@crutchfield.com

2.2 Shielding & Grounds


Shield grounds should be connected at one end only, preferably at the signal source.
Shield ground and audio low must always be kept separate. Do NOT use the shield as an
audio return. For stereo systems use 3-wire with shield.

Intercoms
PS Engineering makes a version of intercoms to fit any almost application and budget.
However, it is important to consider the IFE limitations when selecting a system and in-
terface.

will be heard in all headsets in ALL mode, Music will NOT be heard in the pilot headset
in ISO.
The right knob (squelch) incorporates a push/push switch that controls the music mute
(karaoke) mode. When the mute inhibit (karaoke) mode is on, music will remain at a con-
stant level. When the mute is enabled, the music will be muted –30 dB when there is ra-
dio or ICS activity.
3.2.2 PM3000 6-place, w/crew
The stereo music #1 inputs to the PM3000 are pin 24 (Left), pin 11 (WRT Pin 1). Music
1 will be heard in all headsets in ALL mode, Music will NOT be heard in the pilot head-
set in ISO.

will only be heard in passenger headsets in CREW mode, Music 2 will NOT be heard in
the pilot and copilot headset.
The right knob (squelch) incorporates a push/push switch that controls the music mute
(karaoke) mode for Music #1. When the mute inhibit (karaoke) mode is on, music will
remain at a constant level. When the mute is enabled, the music will be muted –30 dB
when there is radio or ICS activity.
Music #2 does not have mute capability, and always remains at a constant level.

3.3 Paralleling music inputs


For stereo music inputs, the Music 1 and Music #2 can be connected together as shown.
We recommend that a switch be used to remove the music from Music 1 when the crew
does not want IFE, and the passengers do.

PMA4000 Mono 4 1
PMA6000M Mono 6 1+1
PMA7000 Stereo 6+ 2
PMA8000 Stereo 6 2

4.1 Mono
The rules for a monaural audio panel interface are similar to the rules for a monaural in-
tercom.
4.1.1 PMA4000
The PMA4000 has one IFE input. The music input is top connector, pin 13, WRT top
connector Pin 25. Music will be heard in all headsets in ALL mode, Music will NOT be
heard in the pilot headset in ISO.
When top connector, Pin 5 is connected to airframe ground, the mute is inhibited, putting
the unit into karaoke mode.
4.1.2 PMA6000 Mono
The PMA6000-series (PMA6000, PMA6000M, PMA6000C PMA6000MC) have two
monaural inputs.
The music 1 input to the PMA6000 is pin 4, WRT Pin D of the top connector. Music 1
will be heard in all headsets in ALL mode, music will NOT be heard in the pilot headset
in ISO.
Music 2 input to the PMA6000 is pin 2, WRT Pin B of the top connector.
Music 2 will be heard in the passenger headsets ONLY when the unit is in CREW mode.
Entertainment 2 does not mute. Pilot and Copilot positions will hear Music 1 in CREW
mode.
4.1.2.1 PMA6000 Mono muting
The music 1 in PMA6000 will NOT mute unless there is a connection between pins 12
and N of the top connector. PS Engineering recommends a switch between these pins to
give the crew control of the music muting. When pins 12 and N are connected, music 1
will mute when there is radio or ICS activity.

5.4 PAV80
The PAV80 is a DVD player that also offers CD/MP3, AM/FM and auxiliary capability.
The AUX can be a audio and video source, such as a GameBoy or other entertainment
system. There is also an auxiliary audio input (AUXA) that can be used for iPOD or Sat-
ellite Radio units
This IFE system is “Multi-Tasking” because it has two separate stereo audio outputs that
can be fed by the Video, CD, radio or external auxiliary source. One output, called Crew
or Primary, can be dedicated to the pilot and copilot through Music 1. The Passenger, or
secondary output can be dedicated to the Music 2 input and presented to the passengers.
Muting of the IFE is controlled by the intercom or audio panel.

6.1 PMA7000-CD
The PMA7000-CD is a PMA7000B that controls a PCD7100-R (Remote) CD/MP3
player. The PCD7100-R does not have any controls or display, and is 2-inches tall. The
PMA7000-CD uses a serial data control line to provide play, stop forward and back disc
commands. The PMA7000-CD can also issue a “power off” commend that will remove
the power from the circuitry.
The IFE inputs to the PMA7000-CD are completely independent. Music #1 (crew) goes
to the crew, and Music #2 always goes to the passengers. The front-panel music volume
control (outer knob) adjusts the Music #1 ONLY.
The stereo music #1 (crew) inputs to the PMA7000-CD Series are pin 16 (Left), pin 15
(WRT Pin T) of the top connector. Music 1 will be heard in pilot and copilot headsets,
Music 1 will NOT be heard in the pilot headset in ISO.
Music #1 will mute during any radio or ICS Activity. The mute inhibit (karaoke mode) is
controlled through the front panel “ICS” button. In karaoke mode, the LED in the ICS is
lit, indicating that music will not be muted.
The stereo music #2 (passengers) inputs to the PMA7000 Series are pin 14 (Left), pin 13
(WRT Pin R) of the top connector. Music 2 will only be heard in passenger headsets in
any mode, Music 2 will never be heard in the pilot and copilot headsets.
Music 2 can be paralleled to the PCD7100-R CD/MP3 player. However, we recommend
that an external volume control be used, because the front panel volume control does not
change the Music 2 input. The PS Part number for the volume control kit is 250-790-
0020.

PS Engineering’s revolutionary integration is the incorporation of a SIRIUS Satellite Ra-
dio into an audio panel. The PMA8000-SR is physically ¼-inch longer than a standard
PMA8000, but adds a new IFE dimension.
Like the PMA8000, Music 1 and 2 are independent: Music 1 is connected to the pilot and
copilot, Music 2 is connected to the passengers. As shipped from the factory, the SIRIUS
Satellite Radio audio is connected to both Music 1 and Music 2. However, by rearranging

add additional sources, such as an iPOD or other PS Engineering IFE system.

It is possible to interface the PMA8000-SR with other PS Engineering IFE systems, to


add the CD/MP3 or AM/FM radio capability.

Internal Jumpers in PMA8000-SR must be properly


configured to allow music to be presented on Pins
29 and 30. Consult the PMA8000-SR Instalation
Manual for complete information.

The PAV80 also has an auxiliary audio input, and could be used to switch the PMA8000-
SR Sirius radio.
However, the PAV80 and PMA8000-SR infrared remote controls can interfere with the
other unit (PAV80 remote affecting PMA8000-SR, etc.), so they must be used carefully,
and the units should not be adjacent to each other.
