Central Aural Warning System (CAWS)
The CAWS function provides aural warnings of an unsafe condition or situation.
The CAWS consists of a controller installed in the avionics rack. The controller
receives and process signals from selected sources for activation of the
appropriate aural warnings. The CAWS operates on 28-volt dc power.
An additional interface links the controller to the Display Electronic Units (DEU)
