MOUNTING HEADPHONE AND MICROPHONE JACKS:
1. Select mounting areas. (One mic and one headphone jack for each headset)
Again, make sure the jacks will not interfere with aircraft control components.
2. Drill 3/8¡¨ diameter holes for headphone jacks and install.
3. Drill 1/2¡¨ diameter holes for mic jacks and install with insulating
washers supplied.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Connections should be made as shown in page 1 and indicated in Table 1
*A. White/red (pilot push-to-talk) must correspond with white/black (pilot
mic input) as shown.
*B. The blue wire from Pin 3 must be connected to the aircraft radio headphone
output ¡V NOT the speaker output.
*C. Connect intercom mic jack grounds to Point A as shown in the figure.
(Use black washers supplied to insulate intercom mic jacks from aircraft
chassis ground).
*D. Do NOT connect transmit switches to white (key) wire.
*E. Red wire may be connected to either 12 (14C) or 24 (28V) power source.
No switching or adjustments are required to operate from either source.
*F. Tan wires from Pins 8 and 9 are only used on 4- way installations.
FINAL CHECKOUT AND ADJUSTMENT
After the unit is installed, again check that the intercom chassis, jacks,
and wiring hamess are clear of all aircraft operating controls and cause
no interference with them. Check out the intercom functions by following
the Operating Instructions.
It may be necessary at this time to adjust the intercom mic output to
the aircraft radios. A small, square, adjustable trimmer potentiometer
is provided inside the unit for this purpose. It is accessible through
a hole in the side of the case, marked ¡§ Mod. Adj.¡¨ And can be adjusted
with a screwdriver. In the event of overmodulation (garbled) or reports
of weak transmissions over the aircraft radio, an appropriate adjustment
can be made. Clockwise rotation increases the output level to the aircraft
radio mic input Counter-clockwise rotation decreases modulation level.
This adjustment sometimes needs to be made after initial installation
of the intercom or if a new radio is installed.
