While in the ALL mode if pilot would like to add or remove music from the PILOT headset, then he can
press the MUSIC button. This has no effect on copilot or passenger music.
2.6.3.2 Entertainment 2 Mute (J2 Pin 13 & 14)
Connecting J2 pin 13 to pin 14 (or ground) through a SPST switch places the entertainment #2 music
source into the Karaoke Mode. In this mode, incoming music and intercom conversation will not mute the
music for the passengers’ intercom net. This allows uninterrupted music during casual conversation and at
times when radio communications are of lesser importance.
If desired, the AUX button can act as the passengers’ mute control. Connect J2 pin 18 (AUX logic) to J2
pin 13 (Entertainment. 2 Mute inhibit). Then, Entertainment 2 will not mute when the AUX button is on.
(Not recommended if DME is input is used.)
2.6.4 Music Configuration
The music inputs can be configured by the user from the front panel by pressing the MUSIC button. There
are three configurations available- Music #1 ALL Headsets, Music #1 Pilot and Standard Music Distribu-
tion.
Standard Music Distribution is selected. Input #1 or Bluetooth is provided to the pilot and copilot. Muting
(SoftMute™) is controlled by the front panel “mute” button. Music 2 is provided to the passengers at all
times, with muting controlled by an external switch.
Music 1 All Headsets is selected. All headsets will hear music #1 input and Bluetooth audio. Intercom se-
lector mode will not affect music distribution.
Music 1 Pilot is selected. This will allow pilot to hear music #1 and Bluetooth while the copilot and pas-
sengers will listen to music #2.
2.6.5 Digital Recorder & flightmate® Play Back Feature
The flightmate® checklist can be played back from the front panel by pressing the PLAY button for at least
2 seconds.
Radio recorder playback is accomplished by momentarily pressing the PLAY button on the front panel.
In addition, a remote momentary, normally open (NO) push button switch may be installed if desired to
remotely activate the Radio Recording System playback. This switch can be located anywhere in cockpit
convenient to the pilot's reach. The NO switch should be connected to pin 22 of J2 of the PMA8000G, and
ground.
2.7 Marker Beacon Installation
2.7.1 Marker Antenna Installation
A marker beacon antenna, appropriate to the type and speed of the aircraft, is required (not included). Refer
to aircraft and antenna manufacturer's installation instructions, as well as AC43.13-2B (or later revision),
Chapter 3, for information on proper antenna installation techniques. The marker beacon antenna must be
mounted on the bottom of the aircraft.
2.7.2 External Marker Lights
For installations that require external marker beacon lights, there are three outputs that can drive 12-Volt
lamps only. The external output lamps are driven high (typically +7.0 VDC 4.0 VDC unloaded, at MAX
brightness) when active. Maximum source current per lamp is 125 mA. Voltage varies with photocell
dimming.
