Section II - Installation
2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1.1 SCOPE
This section provides detailed installation and interconnection instructions for the PS Engineering
PMA7000CD-Series Audio Selector Panel/Intercom/MP3 Compact Disc System with internal Marker Bea-
con.
With the exception of the internal marker beacon receiver, the PMA7000S-CD, and PMA7000MS-CD are
identical. All units will be identified hereafter as the PMA7000CD, where the information applies to all.
Please read this manual carefully before beginning any installation to prevent damage and post-installation
problems. Installation of this equipment requires special tools and knowledge.
2.1.2 Certification Requirements
NOTE: The PMA7000CD requires specialized knowledge and tools for an effective installation. An ap-
propriately rated Certified Aircraft Repair Station must install this equipment in accordance with applica-
ble regulations. PS Engineering, Incorporated warranty is not valid unless the equipment is installed by an
authorized PS Engineering, Incorporated dealer.
Failure to follow any of the installation instructions, or installation by a non-certified individual or agency
will void the warranty, and may result in an unairworthy installation.
2.2 Unpacking and Preliminary Inspection
Use care when unpacking the equipment. Inspect the units and parts supplied for visible signs of shipping
damage. Examine the unit for loose or broken buttons, bent knobs, etc. Verify the correct quantity of com-
ponents supplied with the list in Section 1.6 (B). If any claim is to be made, save the shipping material and
contact the freight carrier. Do NOT return units damaged in shipping to PS Engineering. If the unit or ac-
cessories show any sign of external shipping damage, contact PS Engineering to arrange for a replacement.
Under no circumstances attempt to install a damaged unit in an aircraft. Equipment returned to PS Engi-
neering for any other reason should be shipped in the original PS Engineering packaging, or other UPS
approved packaging.
2.3 Equipment Installation Procedures
2.3.1 Cooling Requirements
Forced air-cooling of the PMA7000CD or remote player is not required. However the units should be kept
away from heat producing sources (i.e. defrost or heater ducts, dropping resistors, heat producing avionics)
without adequate cooling air provided.
2.3.2 Mounting Requirements
The PMA7000CD must be rigidly mounted to the instrument panel of the aircraft structure and within view
and reach of the pilot position(s). Installation must comply with FAA Advisory Circular AC 43.13-2A. The
unit may be mounted in any area where adequate clearance for the unit and associated wiring bundle exist.
The PCD7100-R Remote CD Player may be located in any convenient location for access to the disc slot.
However, it should be mounted to keep the interconnecting bundle within approximately six feet (2 me-
ters). The unit must be installed within
±30° of horizontal along the pitch axis, and ±10° of horizontal along
the roll axis in level flight.
Avoid installing the units close to high current devices or systems with high-voltage pulse type outputs,
such as DME or transponders. Avoid running the interconnecting bundles near any high current wires.
