IntelliVox® Intercom VOX-Squelch
This system has PS Engineering’s patented IntelliVox® circuitry that eliminates manual adjustments. The intercom
system incorporates pilot isolate, all and crew modes, two independent stereo music inputs with "SoftMute™".
Intercom. Intercom Volume control is through the top EFIS panel knob [ICOM]. Intercom squelch is automatic.
No adjustment of the IntelliVox® squelch control is necessary. Through three individual signal processors,
the ambient noise appearing in all four microphones is constantly being sampled. Non-voice signals are
blocked. When someone speaks, only their microphone circuit opens, placing their voice on the intercom.
The system is designed to block continuous tones; therefore people humming or whistling in monotone
may be blocked after a few moments. For consistent performance, any headset microphone must be placed within
¼-inch of your lips, preferably against them.
Intercom Modes
The “ICS” touch buttons on the panel provides the selection of the three intercom modes. The description of the
intercom mode function is valid only when the unit is not in the "Split" mode. Then, the pilot and copilot intercom is
controlled by the ICS button selecting CRW.
This button cycles through the intercom modes ISO, ALL, CREW. A green indicator shows which mode is currently
active.
ISO: The pilot is isolated from the intercom and is connected only to the aircraft radio system.
He will hear
the aircraft radio reception (and sidetone during radio transmissions). Copilot will hear
passengers’ intercom
and Music, while passengers will hear copilot intercom and Music. Neither will hear aircraft
radio
receptions or pilot transmissions. The pilot can hear music if desired.
ALL: All parties will hear the aircraft radio and intercom. Crew and passengers will hear
selected Music.
During any radio or intercom communications, the music volume automatically decreases. The
music volume
increases gradually back to the original level after communications have been completed.
CREW: Pilot and copilot are connected on one intercom channel and have exclusive access to the aircraft
radios. They may also listen to Music 1. Passengers can continue to communicate with themselves without
interrupting the Crew and may listen to Music as configured.
Music and Music Muting
The PDA360EX has two independent music inputs at the rear connector.
The PDA360EX also has the ability to receive streaming music from a
Bluetooth-enabled device. The Music 1, Music 2 and Bluetooth inputs
can be selectively delivered to the pilot, copilot and/or passengers using
the music distribution menu.
