2.4.2 Power
The PAV80-Series units are compatible with both 14 and 28
Volt DC systems. A five (5) Amp PULL-TYPE breaker is
required. Power and ground wires must be a twisted #18
AWG pair. Connect airframe power ground to Pin 22 only.
If the Video Distribution Amplifier (PVA802) is used, a
second circuit breaker (5 A) must be installed. Power must be
connected to the P802, pin 13 only.
NOTE: The PVA80 can power ONE (1) PVT801. Do not
connect more than ONE display, and do NOT connect any
other type of display to the PAV80 display power pin.
DAMAGE WILL RESULT.
See Appendix B for typical circuit breaker layout.
2.4.3 Backlighting
Connect the 14 V dimmer control to pin 1, the 28 V dimmer to pin A, as required. The display is adjusted
for ambient light conditions by the connection to the aircraft dimmer bus. If the radio light dimmer is
turned all the way off, the display will be at full intensity.
2.4.4 Antenna
The passive AM/FM antenna, part number 510-730-0001 (included) can be mounted wherever convenient
inside the cockpit, as long as it is in a window. Verify that the antenna is not an impediment to crew vision
outside the cockpit when installed,
For optimum performance, it should be near the windshield. Clean the mounting surface with appropriate
means (glass cleaner, etc), and apply adhesive (supplied with antenna). Route the antenna cable along edge
to the glareshield, and then connect to the PAV80 connector. Avoid running the antenna cable near high-
current carrying wires, such as windshield heat, etc.
The antenna cable center conductor is connected to Pin 2, braid is connected to pin B.
Some installers may desire an external antenna. PS Engineering recommends a Comant CI-222-L, installed
in accordance with AC43.13-1A, Chapter 3.
