23-50 AUDIO INTEGRATING

GENERAL

The audio integrating system provides a communication link between the flightcompartment crew members, cabin crew members, ground crew members,airplane radio systems and recorders.The audio control panels (ACP’s) permit selection of the function desired. Theposition of switches and potentiometers are transmitted digitally from the ACP’sto the Remote Electronics Unit (REU). Audio from communication and naviga-tion systems and from the audio selector panels are integrated at the REU. Au-dio from the ACP’s is also sent to the voice recorder system via the REU.The REU contains amplifiers for the flight interphone system, the service inter-phone system with the capability of controlling the gain of each system. It alsocontains a tongenerator for the altitude alert warning and discrete grounds forthe flight recorder.In case of a failure in the Captains or F/O’s ACP or in the associated REU-cir-cuit audio switching relays allow the connenction to the observer interphonesystem.

AUDIO SWITCHINGThe observer’s audio selector panel can be substituted for either the captain’sor the first officer’s ACP using a transfer switch on the P5 panel. This will allowthe captain or first officer to use the observer’s ACP to accomplish all commu-nication functions in the event his primary panel has failed. All analog signals ( mike, audio, PTT) are switched parallel to the observer’s ACP. In the processof the switching over, power is also removed from the primary panel.

AUDIO CONTROL PANEL

GENERALThe ACP enables the flight crewmembers to transmit and receive on the radiocommunication systems, communicate using the flight and service interphonesystems and make announcements over the PA system. Airplane navigationsystems can also be monitered.Three ACP’s are located in the flight compartment.

ACP ( XA - XU )This ACP has a BOOM/OXY select switch. The BOOM/OXY select switch is atwo-position locking toggle. The switch connects the boom mic (headset) or theoxygen mic (oxygen mask) to the input.

CONFIG. 2

The front panel of the audio selector panel has the following switches: (1) Microphone Selector Switches The microphone selector switches are used to connect the boom,oxygen mask, or hand microphone to the interphone, passenger address (PA),or any of the selectable transmitters.The microphone selector switches are momentary contact switches. Theswitches are mechanically and electronically interlocked to permit only oneswitch to be selected at a time. A light in each switch comes on when theswitch is selected, and the related receive audio channel will become active.The microphone selector switches are split legend switches used for both mi-crophone selection and call indication. The upper half of the switch, whenturned on, indicates the microphone selection made. The lower half of theswitch, when ”C” is showing, indicates an incoming call for that system. (2) Volume Control SwitchesThe switches are turned ON/OFF by pushing the switch knob. The switchescontrol the selection and volume level of the received audio. The controlswitches turn clockwise for increasing volume and counterclockwise fordecreasing volume. (3) Listen ON - green LED

(4) RADIO − INT PTT SwitchThe RADIO − INT PTT Switch is a system keying switch. When inthe RADIO position the switch will key the communications system selected bythe microphone selector into transmit. When in the INT position the switch willkey the flight interphone system into transmit regardless of the microphoneselection.This switch is spring loaded to center off. The PTT switch on the ASPis connected in parallel to the PTT switch on the control wheel which serves asimiliar function.The flight deck speakers are muted when the microphone withthe exception of the oxygen mask microphone is keyed at the audioselector panel, at the control wheels, or at the hand microphone.(5) VOICE ONLY Select SwitchThe VOICE ONLY select switch is a momentary contact switch.When active (the switch is lighted), the voice filter attenuates 1020 Hz, switch-ing out DME ident.(6) SPKR/ NAV Selector SwitchThe SPKR switch is the off−on/volume control for the interphonespeaker. This control is not used on the observer audio selector panel.The NAV switches are used to select the navigation system for monitoring.Any number of the switch may be selected at the same time permitting themonitoring of more than one system.

23-51 FLIGHT INTERPHONE SYSTEM

GENERALThe flight interphone system provides the flight crew with capabilities to com-municate with each other and provides the means for them to transmit and re-ceive on airplane communication radio systems and receive on airplane navi-gation radio systems.The flight interphone system consists of audio selector panels, a remoteelectronic unit, jack panels, push−to−talk (PTT) switches on the controlwheel, handheld microphones, headsets, boom microphone/headsets oxygenmask microphones, and loudspeakers.The captain and first officer each have an audio selector panel, a cockpitspeaker, a control wheel PTT switch, a boom microphone headset and oxygenmask microphone, plus jacks for a headset and a handheld microphone.The first observer has an audio selector panel, an oxygen mask microphone, ahandheld microphone and a headphone. The second observer has a head-phone jack. The audio selected by the first observer is heard at both observerstations.Ground crew personnel access the flight interphone system by plugging ahandset into the flight interphone jack on external power receptacle panel. Thisallow the ground crew to communicate with the flight crew.The flight interphone system receives power from the dual power source of28v dc battery bus and 28v dc bus No. 2, through circuit breakers anddiodes to allow either bus to power all circuits on load control center P6.

OPERATIONSelection of which system will receive the microphone input from each flightcrew station is made at the audio selector panel. The last MIC SELECTORpushbutton which is pushed will determine the communication system to bekeyed by a PTT switch at that flight crew station.Flight crewmembers access the flight interphone system to communicate witheach other by setting the PTT switch on the ASP toINT or I/C position. The PTT function can also be performed ateither pilot’s station by setting the control wheel PTT switch to the INT position. Flight crewmembers key a selected airplane radio system from an audio selec-tor panel by pushing and rotating the system audio control and pushing thesystem MIC SELECTOR switch and then holding the R/T−I/C or RADIO − INTswitch to the R/T or RADIO position. This connects the boom or oxygen maskmicrophone and a control line to the selected radio system. The PTT functioncan also be completed at either pilot’s station by holding the control wheel PTTswitch to the MIC position.All flight compartment PTT switches are connected to a speaker mute line soboth cockpit speakers will be muted when a PTT switch is actuated exceptwhen the MASK/BOOM switch is in the MASK position or oxygen mask is inuse. This prevents audio feedback from the speakers to the microphones.All audio warning messages from ground proximity and altitude alert are heardby all flight crewmembers without being selected on the audio selector panel.

23-41 SERVICE INTERPHONEGENERALThe service interphone system provides interphone communications betweenthe flight crew, the attendants, and ground crew personnel. The system in-cludes: the remote electronics unit, the service interphone switch, the atten-dants handsets, and the service interphone jacks. Also, there is a provision fora control stand handset. Handsets are installed in the forward and aft attendantpanels for communication between attendants. Switched service interphonejacks located throughout the airplane are for use by ground crew personnelduring servicing and maintenance. Personnel in the control cabin can commu-nicate with the attendants or ground crew personnel through the audio selectorpanels and the headphones and microphones of the flight interphone system.The service interphone system gets power from the 28v dc battery bus andalso the unswitched electronics bus No. 2, through the INTPH AND WARNINGcircuit breaker located on the load control center−right panel, P6.The remote electronic unit (REU) is installed on the E2−1 shelf of the electronicequipment rack.There is an audio accessory unit (AAU) card inside theREU. The AAU provides the necessary dc voltage to the system microphonesand amplifies the audio signal. Automatic level control ensures a constant out-put regardless of the number of microphones connected to the system. Sincethe system has no on−off switch, it will operate whenever the battery bus or dcbus No. 2 has power. Gain controls for the service interphone system are onthe audio control panel.The service interphone switch is located on the aft overhead panel P5. In theON position, the switch connects the microphone lines from the external ser-vice interphone jacks to the input of the interphone amplifiers.The OFF positiondisconnects the microphone lines to isolate the external service interphonejacks during flight.The handset may be of the press−to−use or press−to−talk type. The button ona press−to−use type handset completes both microphone and receiver audiocircuits when the handset button is pressed. The button on a press−to−talktype handset completes only the microphone circuits when it is pressed; receiv-er circuits are connected directly to the system.

OPERATIONPush the CABIN switch and the respective LISTEN switch on the ACP.Setting the service interphone switch (on the aft overhead panel P5) to ONconnects the microphone circuits from the external service interphone jacks tothe interphone amplifier. This allows ground crew at the various maintenancelocations to talk with each other. Attendants may communicate with each other,with the flight crew, and with the ground crew, by using the handsets installedat their stations.

23-43 FLT/GRD CREW CALLGENERALThe flight and ground crew call system provides for call signals betweenthe flight compartment and cabin attendant stations, between the flightcompartment and ground personnel, and between cabin attendant stations.The system is used to signal personnel that they are wanted on the serviceinterphone.The system includes the ATTEND CALL and GRD CALL switchesand the captain’s call light on the forward pilots’ overhead panel, the AT-TENDANT, CAPTAIN and RESET switches on the attendant panels, and the PILOT CALL switch on the external power receptacle panel. It also in-cludes the ground crew call horn, and the attendant call lights on the exit loca-tor signs.The call system gets power from the 28v dc bus No. 1 through thecircuit breaker on the P18 load control center labeled PASS AND CREWCALL/LAV SMK DET (or PASS AND CREW CALL on airplanes without lava-tory smoke detectors)

OPERATION

CAPTAIN CALLXA bis XU: High Chime and Capts Call Light (blue) comes on, when a callfrom ground personnel or from the attendants are initiated. The Call Light goesout automatically after 40 seconds.XW and on: High Chime and INT Call Lights on all ACPs come on, when acall from ground personnel on the external power panel is initiated. High Chime and CAB Lights on all ACP’s come on, when a call from the atten-dants is initiated. All lights go out automatically after about 40 s.

ATTENDANT CALL Pressing the ATTEND call switch on the forward overhead panel P5applies 28v dc power to the pink attendant call lights, to the R380 attendant callrelay, and to the chime in PA amplifier. The PA amplifier sounds a doublechime through the PA system. Also, the attendant call relay holds the call lighton until reset with the RESET switch on either attendant panel. Pressing theATTENDANT call switch on either attendant panel applies 28v dc power to thegreen attendant call lights, to the attendant call relay, and to the chime in thePA amplifier. The PA amplifier sounds a double chime over the PA system.Also, the attendant call relay holds the call lights on until reset with the RESETswitch on either attendant panel.The RESET switches on the attendant panelsare connected in series.Thus, pressing one removes power from the attendantrelay and makes the call lights go off.

GROUND CREW CALL Pressing the GRD CALL switch on the forward overhead panel P5 applies 28vdc power to the ground crew call horn. The horn will sound as long as theswitch is pressed. The ground crew call horn also serves as an audible warningdevice for the IRS (inertial reference system). The IRS warning system relaycomes on in the flight instrument accessory unit or integrated flight instrumentaccessory unit, and applies 28v dc power to the ground crew call horn, when-ever the IRS is powered by its battery or the IRS is turned on and the equip-ment cooling fan is not operating. The air−ground relay must be in the groundposition before the IRS warning system relay can energize.

23-31 PASSENGER ADDRESS (PA)

GENERALThe PA system supplies voice messages, and chime signals via speakers toall passengers and attendants in the passenger cabin.The PA system also sup-plies boarding music via the speakers to the passenger cabin. PA sidetone isprovided to the flight deck crewmembers via their audio selector panels. PAinputs have an order of priority, when the PA receives an input it will can-cel any input with a lower priority.The PA input priority is as follows: (1) Announcements from the flight compartment have the highest priority. (2) Announcements made from an attendants panel have the second highest priority. (3) Emergency prerecorded announcements have the third highest priority. (4) Prerecorded announcements have the next highest priority. (5) Boarding music has the lowest priority input. Keying the forward attendant PA microphone mutes the forward attendant speaker(s) and keying the aft attendant PA microphone(s) mutes the aftattendant speakers. This prevents feed back during attendant announce-ments.Keying the pilot’s PA microphone will disable the muting of both forwardand aft attendant speakers.Discrete signals from the passenger signs system cause a low tone chimesignal to be sounded. A single low chime occurs whenever the NO SMOKINGor the FASTEN SEAT BELT signs are switched on or off.Discrete signals from the attendant call system cause high tone chimesignals to be sounded. A single high chime occurs when an attendant callswitch is pressed at a passenger service unit (PSU) or from a lavatory.Discrete signals from the cabin interphone system cause high−low chimesto be sounded. A single high−low chime occurs for a crew to attendantcall.

Voice announcements from the pilots are made through the flight interphonesystem. The announcements amplified by the PA amplifier are returned to thepilots via the flight interphone system. Amplification by the PA amplifier is en-abled by PTT (push−to−talk) inputs.The PA amplifier has circuitry to provide system testing. All PA speakers canbe checked. Output level of the amplifier can be determined to allow for adjust-ments.The system amplifier gain is increased by 6 db to compensate for increasednoise levels when either engine is operating.Each audio input into the PA amplifier has a PTT control signal. Priorities withinthe PA amplifier are in numerical order with No. 1 as the highest priority input.The self−test switch on the PA amplifier front panel provides tests of the op-erational status of the PA system. The spring loaded CAL position applies thePA amplifier main output to an internal load. The power applied across the loadis displayed on the LED indicators. The TEST position causes a calibrated highchime tone from the main and auxiliary outputs to all speakers. The NORMposition is used for system operation.After performing any tests, the switch should always be returned to theNORM position.

PRERECORDED ANNOUNCEMENTThe front face of the reproducer has the controls for selecting and playing pre-recorded announcements. The selection is made with a numerical keyboardwhich selects the desired announcement by number and displays the selectionin the window. Upon selecting an announcement, boarding music willcease and the reproducer will search for and key at the start of the selectedannouncement. The READY light indicates the completion of the searchmode.Pushing the START button will initiate playing of the announcement. If STARTis pressed before the search is complete the search will continue and an-nouncement playback will start immediately upon completion of search. The announcement will play to completion or until STOP is pressed, after whichtime the reproducer will return to the boarding music mode of operation beforeannouncement selection.An oxygen emergency announcement has priority over any other announce-ment or boarding music. This announcement is not manually selected. It willplay automatically and repeat upon closing of the OXY IND relay, R324. Thisrelay closes as part of the sequence during activation of passenger oxygen.All keyboard, START, STOP, and channel 1 or 2 buttons backlightwhen pushed. The channel selection 1 and 2 buttons are push−on/push−off.All other buttons are momentary.

All the programs are on one C−60/90 Phillips four channel cassette tape. Twoof the channels are for boarding music; one for selected announcements andthe remaining channel for the emergency oxygen announcement.

PA - AMPLIFIER / TEST

AMPLIFIER 346D - 2BThe self−test switch on the PA amplifier front panel provides tests of the opera-tion status of the PA system. The spring loaded CAL position applies the am-plifier output to an internal load. The power applied is displayed on the LEDindicators.Make sure that the -1 and the 0 dB LED’s on the PA amplifier come on. If the-1 and the 0 dB LED’s do not come on, adjust the MASTER GAIN potntiometeruntil this both LED’s come on. the MASTER GAIN potentiometer is on the low-er part of the front panel on the PA amplifier.The TEST position supplies a high chime sound to all speakers. Make sureyou hear a high chime sound on all the PA speakers.

Page: 40HAM TS 32 Kn 15.06.94

23 - 21 RADIO COMMUNICATION PANELGENERALThe radio communication panels RCP-1, RCP-2 and RCP-3 are installed onthe aft electronics panel, P8.Each RCP can make a radio selection and a frequency selection for each ofavailable radio systems. To set the RCP for a VHF system, push the applica-ble radio selector switch on the RCP (VHF-1, VHF-2 or VHF-3). The switchlight will come on to show the selection was made at that RCP.Use the frequency selector knobs, frequency displays and an ACTIVE/STAND-BY transfer switch to set the RCP for a frequency selection. Each RCP has anACTIVE frequency display and a STANDBY frequency display. The ACTIVEfrequency display shows the frequency to which the selected radio is tuned.The OFF switch disables the RCP. This is only intended to used in the event ofRCP failure. All radios can still be controlled from other RCP’s in the event of asingle RCP failure.The OFF SIDE CONTROL light illuminates whenever an RCP is used to selecta frequency for an OFF-SIDE radio (refer to the operation paragraphs for a def-inition of OFF-SIDE). Radio normally associated with this VHF panel is beingtuned by another VHF panel. Onside transceiver:Left RCP is normally associated with VHF-1.Right RCP is normally associated with VHF-2.Center RCP is normally associated with VHF-3 (ACARS - MU).

OPERATIONThe frequency selected will show in the STANDBY frequency display and canbe transferred to the ACTIVE frequency display by action of the transfer switch.Then another STANDBY frequency selection can be made.This pair of frequencies is monitored by all RCP’s. All RCP’s are connected viaa cross-bus and to the associated transceiver. Whenever this radio is called upon another RCP, the frequency pair originally selected with the on-side RCP willthen show on the off-side RCP. The OFF SIDE CONTROL light will illuminateon both RCP’s.When a failure occurs the indication FAIL appears in the ACTIVE display win-dow. In this case the onside transceiver can not be tuned from the associatedRCP. With the OFF switch you must disable this RCP. Than the transceivercan be tuned from other RCP’s.The third VHF transceiver is originally connected with the ACARS managementunit. The VHF-3 is used by the ACARS to transmit and receive messages.When you select the VHF-3 transceiver on a RCP, the message ACARS ap-pears in the ACTIVE frequency window on this RCP.

23 - 21 VHF - COMMUNICATION

GENERALThe very high frequency (VHF) communication system provides short-rangetwo-way voice and data communication in the frequency range of 118.000through 136.975 MHz with a RF power of about 25 W ( AM ).Three VHF systems are installed in the airplane.The communication equipment for each VHF system includes a VHF transceiv-er, a RCP and a blade antenna.Each VHF system interfaces with the audio integration system and the SEL-CAL system.VHF-1 system power is obtained from the hot battery bus, VHF-2 system pow-er is obtained from switched electronics bus No. 2 and VHF-3 system power isobtained from DC bus No. 1.

OPERATION (VHF - 700 COLLINS)

DESCRIPTIONThe VHF system consists of:� transceiver Collins VHF-700 (E2-1)� radio control panel (P8)� blade antenna

The frequency selection data originates in the RCP is transmitted to the trans-ceiver over an ARINC 429 data bus.Each VHF transceiver has two ports (A and B) for receiving tuning data. TheVHF No.1 transceiver receives the tuning data from the ACTIVE frequency onRCP-1 through port A when VHF-1 is selected on RCP-1. Similarly the VHFNo.2 transceiver receives the tuning data of the ACTIVE frequency on RCP-2through port B when VHF-2 is selected on RCP-2. This operation is on-sideoperation.The VHF transceiver A tuning ports are active and the cross-tunig annunciatorsare off.The selection of any VHF except No.1 by RCP-1, or the selection of any VHFradio except No.2 by RCP-2, constitutes an off-side condition.

An off-side condition will turn on the cross-tuning annunciator on the RCP-1and RCP-2 and will activate tuning port B of the selected off-side radio. Theoff-side RCP will acquire the tuning selections from the on-side radio and willtune the off-side radio with the ACTIVE frequency acquired from the on-sideRCP through tuning port B of the off-side transceiver.Tuning port A for VHF−3 is reserved for future ACARS input. VHF−3 is tunedonly through tuning port B. Selecting VHF−3 from any RCP, other than RCP−3will result in off−side operation. Thus, the radio controlled from the off-side RCPwill keep the same frequency but will be tuned through port B.Tuning port A for VHF-3 is reserved for the ACARS input, VHF-3 is tuned onlythrough tuning port B.

FRONTPANELTEST (VHF−700)

SQUELCH/LAMP−TEST−SWITCHThis test switch is used to disable the squelch ( you can hear a noise sound)and to check the front panel lights prior to system self-testing. The red CON-TROL INPUT FAIL and the green LRU PASS lights come on when this testswitch is pushed.

TEST−SWITCHThe CONTROL INPUT FAIL test checks that the VHF transceiver is receivingvalid frequency tuning data from the VHF control panel RCP. If the tuning datais not valid, the red CONTROL INPUT FAIL light comes on indicating a VHFcontrol panel failure. This light remains on for about four seconds after TESTswitch is pressed.The LRU PASS test identifies a failure on the VHF transceiver. After pressingthe TEST switch, the green LRU PASS should light for approximately one tofour seconds. At the same time, the digital display should show a value of lessthan 3.0. This value is the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR).

RFL − OFF − FWD SWITCHAfter the CONTROL INPUT FAIL / LRU PASS tests are completed, turning thepower test switch to FWD or RFL displays the forward or reflected power val-ues on the digital display.The FWD position should display a minimum value of 25 ( that means 25 W).The RFL position should display about 25 percent or less of the forward powervalue.

OPERATION (RTA-43A BENDIX)

TRANSCEIVERThe RTA-43A VHF transceiver is a solid state transceiver. The VHF transceiv-er provides two-way voice and data communications in the 118.000 through135.975 MHz requency range.The front panel of the transceiver has a XMTR light, a SQUELCH switch, aPHONE jack and a MIC jack. The XMTR light comes on when the transmitteroutput is greater than 12 watts. The SQUELCH switch disables the transceiversquelch circuits and tests the receiver section. The PHONE and MIC jacks areprovided to connect a headset and microphone directly to the VHF transceiver.

CONTROL PANELOn the front of the VHF control panel are two sets of concentric frequency se-lect knobs, two frequency displays, a transfer switch and a SELCAL indicationlight (with push- to- reset function).The TFR switch allows one frequency to be preselected while operating on adifferent frequency. A bar will appear across the inactive frequency.

23-22 SELCALGENERAL

The SELCAL (selective calling) system allows a ground station, with tonetransmitting equipment, to call a specific airplane. When the correct tone com-bination is received, the airplane SELCAL decoder unit signals the flight crewby a SELCAL light and an electronic chime. The SELCAL system eliminatesthe necessity of continuous monitoring of the communication system by theflight crew.The SELCAL system consists of the SELCAL decoder unit. Visual indicationis provided by CALL indicators on the audio selector panels or by a SELCALlight on the VHF COMM/NAV control panel.The electronic chime is part of theaural warning system.When the ground station operator wants to call a specific airplane usingthe SELCAL system, the four−tone code which has been assigned to theairplane is added to the audio transmitted from the ground station. Thiscode is received by a communication system and sent to the SELCAL decoderunit. If the four−tone code received is identical to the code entered onthe SELCAL decoder, the flight crew will be alerted by the SELCAL lightand electronic chime.On airplanes with call indications on the audio selector panels, the call is resetby pushing the call indication for the system with the call on any audio selectorpanel. For airplanes without call indications on the audio selector panels, theSELCAL reset button is on the VHF COMM/NAV control panel.

SELCAL DECODER

TEAM Selcal Decoder The SELCAL decoder is a five channel multiplexed unit. Four of the decoderchannels are connected to the VHF−1, VHF−2, VHF−3, and HF−1 transceivers,respectively. The other channel is not used. The decoder consists of com-pressor amplifiers, filters, an analog to digital converter, a microprocessor andcontrol relays.Every channel will recognize the unique four tone code assigned to the air-plane. The assigned code is pin programmable and determined by airplanewiring to SELCAL decoder connector D2555B or connector D849.The four tone code is resolved with a 16−bit binary word. Four bits of the worddetermine each tone. A coding receptacle is wired to implement the unique 16bits of this code for the airplane. This receptacle is mounted external to theSELCAL decoder and connected to it with a short cable. Thus the SELCALdecoder can be replaced without affecting the code.The coding receptacle isplaced on the rack behind the decoder.A green and a red and five yellow LED’s are located at the front panel of thisdecoder. Push the test knob on the front panel and check the indication:� all LED’s come on for about 3s (lamp test)� subsequentily all LED’s come on step by step (testsequence)� at the end of the test the green GO LED comes on for about 3 s (no failure)� in case of existing failure the red NO GO LED comes on.

MOTOROLA Selcal DecoderTwo separate decoders, in a common case, make up the dual SELCAL decod-er unit. One decoder receives the audio input from the VHF−1 transceiver,the other decoder from the VHF−2 and VHF−3 transceivers. Each decoderconsists of an audio amplifier, a resonant reed circuit, a dc amplifier and controlrelays.

23-27 ACARS

GENERALThe Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) is adigital data−link system that operates between an airplane and a ground−basednetwork of receiver−transmitter stations and central processing stations. Thetransmission medium is generally a single frequency in the VHF frequencyrange. The VHF−3 is used by the ACARS to transmit and receive messages.By automatically transmitting routine messages, the ACARS reduces crewworkload. Also, lengthy voice transmissions to communicate with theground are reduced with the ACARS.The airborne ACARS system is used to transmit and receive data or mes-sages. Messages for transmission can be generated automatically or can beinput manually by crewmembers.The ACARS will then properly tune and keythe VHF−3 transceiver for the data transmission.The VHF−3 can also be used for voice transmission in the ACARS voice mode of operation. Voice communications can be simplified by use of theACARS. The crew can send a downlink message to request to talk to aparty on the ground. The message can even contain the telephone numberof the party. The ground can then make the arrangements, uplink thefrequency the crew needs to tune in, and command the ACARS to switch auto-matically to voice mode.The ACARS Management Unit (MU) controls all functions of the airborneACARS system. The MU interfaces with many other systems on the airplane.Crew interface to the unit is via the FMC Multi−purpose Control Display Units(MCDU).The MU is installed on the E2−3 electronics shelf. It is fastened to the equip-ment rack by two hooks at the front and a rack and panel connector on therear.A TEST switch and a PASS and FAULT light are located on the front ofthe MU. When the TEST switch is pushed, the unit stops all ACARSfunctions and starts a self−test. The result of the test is reported by lights onthe front of the MU and are also sent to the MCDUs for display.The left and right Multi−purpose Control Display Units (MCDUs) provide theuser interface with the ACARS. When the MENU key on an MCDU is pushed,the <ACARS prompt will be available on that MCDU unless ACARS is beingused on the other MCDU. ACARS can be used on only one MCDU at a time.

Selecting the line select key adjacent to the <ACARS prompt will call up theACARS main menu page. From here, all ACARS functions can be accessed,such as pre−flight initialization, weather requests, system status checks, or linktests.The airplane registration number and the airline ID are hardwire coded at theback of the MU by the shorting receptacle. The registration number is a sevencharacter number and the airline ID a two character code.

OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION

When the ACARS is not transmitting a message, it monitors the data frequencythrough the VHF−3 transceiver for messages from the ground. The systemrecognizes messages intended for the airplane in which it is installed by theaddress of the message. Each message has a 7 character address, which canbe either the registration number or the flight number. The airplane’s registra-tion number is provided by the ACMS system (DFDAMRU). The flight numberis entered into the FMS system by the crew before each flight. The ACARSwill only process messages that have the correct registration or flight number.Confirmation of messages Every message will contain an ”ACK” (acknowledge) character or a ”NAK”(no acknowledge) character. which notifies the transmitting station of the suc-cess of the previous message reception. The ”ACK” is generated when a valid address for the receiving terminal is re-ceived and a good block check sequence was performed. The ”NAK” is generated when a valid address was received and a bad blockcheck sequence was performed. The exception to this is when the receivingterminal is the ground−processor and the operating mode is the demandmode. In this case the ground−processor will have no response to a bad blockcheck sequence.

Operational ModesThe airborne ACARS system operates in conjunction with the ground−baseddata processors. The two primary modes of operation are the demand modeand the polled mode. Two additional modes of operation are the off modeand the failed mode.(1) Off Mode

− ACARS is in the off mode when 115v ac is removed from AC Bus 1 orwhen the ACARS AC circuit breaker is opened.

− As long as 28v dc Hot Bat Bus power is available to the MU through theACARS DC circuit breaker, essential RAM memory will be retained andthe UTC (GMT) clock will continue to operate.

(2) Demand Mode − The MU adopts the demand mode of operation from the off mode upon

application of 115v ac power. − In the demand mode, the MU will initiate a downlink for each of the fol-

lowing conditions:

(3) Polled Mode − The MU enters the polled mode of operation when commanded to do so

by the ground station. − In the polled mode, the MU will downlink data only when requested

(polled) by an uplink from the ground station. The ground station pollsan aircraft periodically (at most once every 2 seconds). If the MU has amessage in memory for downlink, it will initiate a transmission.

− The polled mode is used in areas of heavy ACARS traffic so that theground station will be available equally to all aircraft that use the service.

− The MU will exit the polled mode and return to the demand mode underone of the following conditions: � When commanded to do so by an uplink. � When the ON event occurs. � When 1.5 minutes has passed without a poll from the ground station.

(4) Failed Mode The MU continually runs tests to using Built−In Tests (BIT). The tests are de-signed to most failures. When a failure is detected an MCDU indication is acti-vated. Message Format

VHF−3 Transceiver; � The MU encodes the digital data for transmission as a series of 1200 Hz

and 2400 Hz tones at 2400 baud (future ACARS systems may operate with2400/4800 Hz at 4800 baud). A 1200 Hz tone indicates a bit change fromthe previous bit (0 to 1 or 1 to 0) while a 2400 Hz tone indicates no bitchange (0 to 0 or 1 to 1).

� The MU supplies the tuning word to the VHF transceiver on port A of thetransceiver. The tuning word is in the 32 bit ARINC 429 format.

� The MU grounds the voice/data select line of the VHF transceiver.� The port select discrete between the MU and the transceiver is grounded by

the MU when it is in data mode. This selects port A of the transceiver asthe source for the tuning word, thereby allowing the MU to control the datafrequency tuning. In VHF 3−voice mode, the MU will open the port selectdiscrete to allow tuning by port B only as the VHF control panel has to tunethe transceiver to the voice frequecncy.

Radio Communication Panels;� The port select discrete to the VHF−3 transceiver is also connected to the

Radio Communication Panels . When grounded, the ACARS indication willshow in the active display of the control panel that is selected to the VHF−3transceiver, indicating that the MU has control of the tuning.

� A discrete from the VHF control panel allows for remote voice/data switch-ing. When VHF 3 is in voice mode and the display transfer button on theactive ACARS control panel is pushed, ACARS will change to data modeand the ACARS indication will move to the active display.

Aural Warning Module;� A voice−go−ahead discrete from the MU to the aural warning module pro-

vides the pilot with a chime to notify the pilot when a VOICE CONTACT−message is received .

� Automatically with the occurance of pre−defined events. These in-clude OOOI times and certain Aircraft Condition Monitoring System(ACMS) reports. The pre−defined events can be changed by soft-ware.

� Manually by crew request. � In response to uplink messages which require a response.

ACARS MU FRONTPANEL TEST

After installation, correct operation of the ACARS MU can be checked by usingthe following controls located on the MU frontface:PASS/FAULT indicator lightsIn normal operation, the lights indicate the actual status of the ACARS MU. Intest mode, after a 3s indicator light test, the lights indicate the test result.7 SEGMENT LEDIf a test is activated and a failure is detected, the LED shows a fault code. Ex-amples:� 3: A/C registration missed (the MU did not receive the A/C registration)� 2: A/C type mismatch (the A/C type defined in software is different to the pin

program information)� 1: bad H/W part number (the MU partnumber and the pin program informa-

tion is different)TEST pushbuttonWhe pressing the test pushbutton switch:� a ACARS MU ”Cold Start” is initiated.� the LRU PASS and FAULT lights come on for 3s approximately to indicate

correct operation.� the red FAULT light goes off to indicate, that no fault is present. If the red

FAULT light remains on and the green light goes off, the system is faultyand shows a fault code on the LED.

WARNINGPressing the test knob at the MU initiates a MU-coldstart! This resets all datasthe MU is presently working with, including datas entered via the MCDU!!!/Additional programming is lost!). See also ACARS MU RESET!!! ACARS

MAINTENANCE TIPS / TROUBLESHOOTING

MCDU Message: NO COMM� Description: The message NO COMM appears at the scratchpad on the

MCDU.� Status: A display of NO COMM does not necessarily indicate an aircraft

failure. It does indicate that the data-link air/ground network was not com-pleted. This can be the result of ground station problems or aircraft failures.The ACARS transmits over the VHF-3 system. If this system is inoperative,or the VHF path betweeen the airplane and the ground station is blocked,the system will go NO COMM.

� Att. Maint.:− Perform a CB-reset.− Perform a LINK test at the ACARS test page.− Check the frequency at the ACARS frequency page. Make sure that

ACARS is set to the correct data link frequency ( Europe: 131,725 Mc).− Set ACARS in the VOICE mode. At the standby window of the RCP ap-

pears ACARS and at the scratchpad of the MCDU appears ACARSVOICE. Check the quality of the voice-connection with the ground opera-tor.

− Perform a ACARS MU RESET at the DEBUG Page 2/2.

23-71 VOICE RECORDERGENERAL The voice recorder system records and preserves a continuing record ofthe latest 30 minutes of flight crew communications and conversation.The voice recorder system has four inputs for simultaneous recording ofall communications in the flight compartment on four track tape. Channelone receives audio from the first observer’s audio selector panel, channel tworeceives audio from the first officer’s audio selector panel and channel threereceives audio from the captain’s audio selector panel. Channel four audio istaken from a microphone in the voice recorder control panel.The voice recorder system consists of a recorder unit installed on theright side of the airplane in the aft cargo compartment; a control panelinstalled in the pilots’ overhead panel P5; interconnecting wiring; and relay con-tacts in the landing gear accessory unit Module M338.An erase head in the recorder automatically erases previously recordedinformation prior to recording. A 30−minute length of closed loop magnetictape provides a record of the previous 30 minutes of conversation. An internalmonitoring circuit ensures proper operation of the recording mechanism andcircuits. Audible and visible indications derived from the monitoring circuits arepresented at a meter and a jack on the control panel when the test switch onthe control panel is operated. The entire tape may be erased after the airplanehas landed and the parking brake has been set.An Underwater Locating Beacon (ULB) that is not part of the underwaterlocating system is installed on the front panel of the voice recorder.The ULB is an acoustic beacon that energizes when it is immersed inwater, thereby assisting to locate the recorder in case of an accident over theocean or other body of water. Three types of ULB are in service. One type (theN15F210B) is powered by a replaceable battery.The second type (DK100) ispowered by a replaceable battery, but must be returned to the vendor for bat-tery replacement or for disposal. The third type (Datasonics ELP−362) is pow-ered by a replaceable battery.Operating power for the voice recorder system is 115 volts, 400 Hz ACobtained from the unswitched electronics bus through the VOICE RECORDERcircuit breaker on the P18 panel.

OPERATIONThe voice recorder system automatically records the latest 30 minutes ofcommunications and conversation in the flight compartment. The system isin operation whenever 115−volt AC power is applied to AC bus No. 1.Communications and interphone audio from the first observer’s, the firstofficer’s and the captain’s audio selector panels is applied to channel1 through 3 respectively of the voice recorder. Conversation in the flightcompartment is picked up and amplified by the microphone and preamplifier inthe voice recorder control panel and applied to channel 4.The playback head and monitor amplifier are used to monitor informationrecorded on all tracks of the tape. The audio output of the monitor amplifier isavailable at the MONITOR jack on the front panel of the voice recorder and atthe HEADSET jack on the voice recorder control panel. This audio is suppliedto the test meter on the voice recorder control panel. On the Fairchild VoiceRecorder Model A100, the audio also supplies input to the meters on the frontof the voice recorder.Self test for Fairchild Voice Recorder Model A100Pushing the TEST pushbutton on the voice recorder control panel causes thetest module to apply a 600−Hz signal to each channel in sequence, therebytesting all channels. If they are functioning properly, the control panel meterreads in the green area and a modulated sound is present at both jacks.The ALL TEST switch on the front panel of the cockpit voice recorderoperates the same test as the TEST pushbutton on the voice recordercontrol panel.On the front panel of the cockpit voice recorder are test switches for testingrecording channels 1 through 4 individually.To initiate a test for an individualchannel, push the test switch on the face of the cockpit voice recorder for theparticular channel number.This individual channel test causes the test moduleto apply a 600 Hz signal to the channel being tested.The bulk erase module contains timing, relays, and erase circuits whichapply 115 volts, 400 Hz AC to the erase coil in the tape transport. Thebulk erase circuits erase all audio on the recorder tape within ten seconds afterthe ERASE switch on the control panel is released. The bulk erase circuits willfunction only when the airplane is on the ground and the parking brake is setbecause the control circuit must be completed through relay K4 in the landinggear accessory unit module
