Section III OPERATION
3.1 SCOPE
This section provides detailed operating instructions for the PS Engineering PMA8000G, Audio Selector
Panel/Marker Beacon Receiver/Intercom Systems. Please read it carefully before using the equipment so
that you can take full advantage of its capabilities.
This section is divided into sections covering the basic operating areas of the PMA8000G systems. They
are; Communications Transceiver Selection, Audio Selector, Intercom, Marker Beacon Receiver and spe-
cial functions, including the Bluetooth® functionality in the PMA8000G.
Figure 3-1 PMA8000G Operating Controls
Unit power is turned on and off by pushing the volume knob. In the OFF or "EMG" position, the pilot head-
set is connected directly to Com 1 as well as unswitched input #1. COM 1 & Unswitched is presented to the
left ear.
This allows communication capability regardless of unit condition. Any time power is removed or turned
OFF, the audio selector will revert to fail-safe mode.
The power switch controls all audio selector panel functions, intercom and marker beacon receiver. All
pushbutton selections will be remembered and return to the last state when turned on.
3.2 Communications Transmit (XMT) Selection (2)
There are two pushbuttons associated with the transmitter selection. The two lower buttons (# 2) control
which transceiver is selected for transmit. The top row of pushbuttons (# 3) allows selection of the receiver
audio. Push the lower button to select the desired COM transmitter.
The PMA8000G has an automatic selector system. Audio from the selected transceiver is automatically
heard in the headsets and speaker (if selected). You can check this function by switching from XMT 1
