23-50 AUDIO INTEGRATING

GENERAL
The audio integrating system provides a communication link between the flight
compartment crew members, cabin crew members, ground crew members,
airplane radio systems and recorders.
The audio control panels (ACPs) permit selection of the function desired. The
position of switches and potentiometers are transmitted digitally from the ACPs
to the Remote Electronics Unit (REU). Audio from communication and navigation systems and from the audio selector panels are integrated at the REU. Audio from the ACPs is also sent to the voice recorder system via the REU.
The REU contains amplifiers for the flight interphone system, the service interphone system with the capability of controlling the gain of each system. It also
contains a tongenerator for the altitude alert warning and discrete grounds for
the flight recorder.
In case of a failure in the Captains or F/Os ACP or in the associated REU-circuit audio switching relays allow the connenction to the observer interphone
system.

DESCRIPTION
OPERATION
Remote Electronics Unit

The remote electronic unit (REU) is a digitally controlled, multiplexed audio
management unit. The REU manages the communication between the flight
deck stations, service and flight interphone, and all related communication, radio, navigation, and recorder system. The REU determines which selections
have been made on the ASP, and then sends appropriate signals to the selected systems.
General
All audio inputs from the flight interphone system, service interphone system,
radio communication systems, and radio navigation systems are connected
directly to the remote electronics unit where they are processed into multiplex
channels. The flight crew can then use their audio selector panels to select the
multiplex channel they wish to hear on their headphones or headsets. They can
also connect the PA channel to the passenger address amplifier.
The flight interphone system hand held, boom, and oxygen mask microphones
provide the microphone audio inputs from the flight crew to the remote electronics unit. The MIC SELECTOR switches on each audio selector panel determine which one of the communication or interphone systems will receive the
microphone input for transmission. All audio selector panels functions are connected in parallel to the REU. The same communications are monitored by all
flight crewmembers.
The REU accepts boom microphone, oxygen mask microphone, and handheld microphone inputs, and provides output to the flight compartment headphones and speakers. The REU contains service interphone, flight interphone
and speaker amplifiers to provide the necessary audio amplification between
stations. The REU routes ground proximity warnings and internally generated
altitude alert tones to the speakers.
Any audio, selected on the ASP, will be recorded on the voice recorder for each
crew member.
The REU contains:

S Three identical station cards for captain, first officer and observer. The station cards provide response to inputs from three audio selector panels.
S One audio accessory unit (AAU) card which contains circuitry for an altitude
alert warning tone, flight and service interphone, and various audio accessory functions.
S One mother board which contains and provides interconnection for the
captains, first officers and observers station cards and AAU card.
S One connector card which provides an interconnection between the external
connector and the mother board. The outside of the REU case contains
several screw adjustments. These are designed for in-shop test station adjustment only and should not be adjusted on the airplane. Power to the REU
is 28V dc dual power sources (battery bus and Bus No. 2). The REU provides dc power to the ASPs.
Radio Inputs
Audio inputs are provided from each of the communication radio receivers and
from each of the navigation radio receivers.

Audio Outputs
Audio outputs from the remote electronics unit are provided to each flight crew
station and to the external power panel. One output is for the boom microphone/headsets and one output is for the headphone jacks.
Two audio outputs are used to drive the pilots overhead speakers.
Amplifiers in the remote electronics unit provide the drive for the audio outputs.
There are two audio amplifiers in the remote electronics unit;
S one used with the flight interphone and
S one used with the service interphone.
External volume control adjustments are installed for each of the amplifiers.
DLH airplanes with a BOOM/OXY switch;
the pilot overhead speaker is muted whenever a microphone is keyed from the
same pilot position (left or right) except when the pilot audio selector panel
BOOM/OXY switch is in the OXY position.
DLH airplanes without a BOOM/OXY switch;
the boom and the oxygen mask microphones are paralleled. If the boom microphone is in use the pilots speakers are automatically muted. When the oxygen
mask is in use, the pilots speakers are not muted. This action is controlled
from the PUSH TO TEST AND RESET switch on the oxygen mask stowage box.
Cockpit Speaker Volume Control

The captains and the first officers interphone speaker is turned on or off by a
switch on the flight crewmembers audio selector panel. The audio output from
the speaker is adjusted to a comfortable listening level with this volume control
on-of f switch.
Communication between Flight Deck and Ground Service Crew
Ground crew personnel access the flight interphone system by plugging a
handset into the FLIGHT INTERPHONE jack on external power receptacle
panel P19. This allows the ground crew to communicate with the flight crew.
Synthesized Audio
A voice synthesizer will provide the altitude alert audio messages when triggert
by the altitude alert system.
A two wire input is provided to receive the audio warning tone from the ground
proximity warning system.
Radio Navigation Identification
A filter in the REU is installed to remove the NAV and ADF audio code identification signal from the voice messages. When the VOICE ONLY switch on a
flight crewmembers audio selector panel is engaged, the filter is connected
and will remove the 1020 Hz coded identification signals, leaving the broader
voice spectrum essentially unchanged for that crewmembers NAV and ADF
audio input.

AUDIO SWITCHING
AUDIO CONTROL PANEL
The observers audio selector panel can be substituted for either the captains
or the first officers ACP using a transfer switch on the P5 panel. This will allow
the captain or first officer to use the observers ACP to accomplish all communication functions in the event his primary panel has failed. All analog signals
( mike, audio, PTT) are switched parallel to the observers ACP. In the process
of the switching over, power is also removed from the primary panel.
GENERAL
The ACP enables the flight crewmembers to transmit and receive on the radio
communication systems, communicate using the flight and service interphone
systems and make announcements over the PA system. Airplane navigation
systems can also be monitered.
Three ACPs are located in the flight compartment.
ACP ( XA - XU )
This ACP has a BOOM/OXY select switch. The BOOM/OXY select switch is a
two-position locking toggle. The switch connects the boom mic (headset) or the
oxygen 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. The
switches are mechanically and electronically interlocked to permit only one
switch to be selected at a time. A light in each switch comes on when the
switch is selected, and the related receive audio channel will become active.
The microphone selector switches are split legend switches used for both microphone selection and call indication. The upper half of the switch, when
turned on, indicates the microphone selection made. The lower half of the
switch, when C is showing, indicates an incoming call for that system.
(2) Volume Control Switches
The switches are turned ON/OFF by pushing the switch knob. The switches
control the selection and volume level of the received audio. The control
switches turn clockwise for increasing volume and counterclockwise for
decreasing volume.
(4) RADIO - INT PTT Switch

The RADIO - INT PTT Switch is a system keying switch. When in
the RADIO position the switch will key the communications system selected by
the microphone selector into transmit. When in the INT position the switch will
key the flight interphone system into transmit regardless of the microphone
selection.This switch is spring loaded to center off. The PTT switch on the ASP
is connected in parallel to the PTT switch on the control wheel which serves a
similiar function.The flight deck speakers are muted when the microphone with
the exception of the oxygen mask microphone is keyed at the audio
selector panel, at the control wheels, or at the hand microphone.
(5) VOICE ONLY Select Switch
The VOICE ONLY select switch is a momentary contact switch.
When active (the switch is lighted), the voice filter attenuates 1020 Hz, switching out DME ident.
(6) SPKR/ NAV Selector Switch
The SPKR switch is the off-on/volume control for the interphone
speaker. 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 the
monitoring of more than one system.

23-51 FLIGHT INTERPHONE SYSTEM

GENERAL
The flight interphone system provides the flight crew with capabilities to communicate with each other and provides the means for them to transmit and receive on airplane communication radio systems and receive on airplane navigation radio systems.
The flight interphone system consists of audio selector panels, a remote
electronic unit, jack panels, push-to-talk (PTT) switches on the control
wheel, handheld microphones, headsets, boom microphone/headsets oxygen
mask microphones, and loudspeakers.
The captain and first officer each have an audio selector panel, a cockpit
speaker, a control wheel PTT switch, a boom microphone headset and oxygen
mask microphone, plus jacks for a headset and a handheld microphone.
The first observer has an audio selector panel, an oxygen mask microphone, a
handheld microphone and a headphone. The second observer has a headphone jack. The audio selected by the first observer is heard at both observer
stations.
Ground crew personnel access the flight interphone system by plugging a
handset into the flight interphone jack on external power receptacle panel. This
allow the ground crew to communicate with the flight crew.
The flight interphone system receives power from the dual power source of
28v dc battery bus and 28v dc bus No. 2, through circuit breakers and
diodes to allow either bus to power all circuits on load control center P6.

OPERATION
Selection of which system will receive the microphone input from each flight
crew station is made at the audio selector panel. The last MIC SELECTOR
pushbutton which is pushed will determine the communication system to be
keyed by a PTT switch at that flight crew station.
Flight crewmembers access the flight interphone system to communicate with
each other by setting the PTT switch on the ASP to
INT or I/C position. The PTT function can also be performed at
either pilots station by setting the control wheel PTT switch to the INT position.
Flight crewmembers key a selected airplane radio system from an audio selector panel by pushing and rotating the system audio control and pushing the
system MIC SELECTOR switch and then holding the R/T-I/C or RADIO - INT
switch to the R/T or RADIO position. This connects the boom or oxygen mask
microphone and a control line to the selected radio system. The PTT function
can also be completed at either pilots station by holding the control wheel PTT
switch to the MIC position.
All flight compartment PTT switches are connected to a speaker mute line so
both cockpit speakers will be muted when a PTT switch is actuated except
when the MASK/BOOM switch is in the MASK position or oxygen mask is in
use. This prevents audio feedback from the speakers to the microphones.
All audio warning messages from ground proximity and altitude alert are heard
by all flight crewmembers without being selected on the audio selector panel.

The switch for selecting the oxygen mask microphone is in the oxygen mask
stowage box. When the mask is packed the switch is positioned to the boom
position. Removing the mask from the stowage box will automatically position
the switch to the OXY position to select the oxygen mask microphone as the
operating microphone at that crewmembers station.
The boom microphone can be returned to operational status by repacking the
mask in the stowage box, closing the compartment doors, and activating the
compartment PUSH TO TEST AND RESET button or by closing the mask

23-41 SERVICE INTERPHONE

GENERAL
OPERATION
The service interphone system provides interphone communications between

the flight crew, the attendants, and ground crew personnel. The system includes: the remote electronics unit, the service interphone switch, the attendants handsets, and the service interphone jacks. Also, there is a provision for
a control stand handset. Handsets are installed in the forward and aft attendant
panels for communication between attendants. Switched service interphone
jacks located throughout the airplane are for use by ground crew personnel
during servicing and maintenance. Personnel in the control cabin can communicate with the attendants or ground crew personnel through the audio selector
panels and the headphones and microphones of the flight interphone system.
The service interphone system gets power from the 28v dc battery bus and
also the unswitched electronics bus No. 2, through the INTPH AND WARNING
circuit breaker located on the load control center-right panel, P6.
The remote electronic unit (REU) is installed on the E2-1 shelf of the electronic
equipment rack.There is an audio accessory unit (AAU) card inside the
REU. The AAU provides the necessary dc voltage to the system microphones
and amplifies the audio signal. Automatic level control ensures a constant output regardless of the number of microphones connected to the system. Since
the system has no on-off switch, it will operate whenever the battery bus or dc
bus No. 2 has power. Gain controls for the service interphone system are on
the audio control panel.
The service interphone switch is located on the aft overhead panel P5. In the
ON position, the switch connects the microphone lines from the external service interphone jacks to the input of the interphone amplifiers.The OFF position
disconnects the microphone lines to isolate the external service interphone
jacks during flight.
The handset may be of the press-to-use or press-to-talk type. The button on
a press-to-use type handset completes both microphone and receiver audio
circuits when the handset button is pressed. The button on a press-to-talk
type handset completes only the microphone circuits when it is pressed; receiver circuits are connected directly to the system.
Push the CABIN switch and the respective LISTEN switch on the ACP.
Setting the service interphone switch (on the aft overhead panel P5) to ON
connects the microphone circuits from the external service interphone jacks to
the interphone amplifier. This allows ground crew at the various maintenance
locations to talk with each other. Attendants may communicate with each other,
with the flight crew, and with the ground crew, by using the handsets installed
at their stations.

23-43 FLT/GRD CREW CALL

GENERAL
OPERATION
The flight and ground crew call system provides for call signals between
the flight compartment and cabin attendant stations, between the flight
compartment and ground personnel, and between cabin attendant stations.
The system is used to signal personnel that they are wanted on the service
interphone.The system includes the ATTEND CALL and GRD CALL switches
and the captains call light on the forward pilots overhead panel, the ATTENDANT, CAPTAIN and RESET switches on the attendant panels, and the
PILOT CALL switch on the external power receptacle panel. It also includes the ground crew call horn, and the attendant call lights on the exit locator signs.The call system gets power from the 28v dc bus No. 1 through the
circuit breaker on the P18 load control center labeled PASS AND CREW
CALL/LAV SMK DET (or PASS AND CREW CALL on airplanes without lavatory smoke detectors)
CAPTAIN CALL
XA bis XU: High Chime and Capts Call Light (blue) comes on, when a call
from ground personnel or from the attendants are initiated. The Call Light goes
out automatically after 40 seconds.
XW and on: High Chime and INT Call Lights on all ACPs come on, when a
call from ground personnel on the external power panel is initiated.
High Chime and CAB Lights on all ACPs come on, when a call from the attendants is initiated. All lights go out automatically after about 40 s.
ATTENDANT CALL
Pressing the ATTEND call switch on the forward overhead panel P5
applies 28v dc power to the pink attendant call lights, to the R380 attendant call
relay, and to the chime in PA amplifier. The PA amplifier sounds a double
chime through the PA system. Also, the attendant call relay holds the call light
on until reset with the RESET switch on either attendant panel. Pressing the
ATTENDANT call switch on either attendant panel applies 28v dc power to the
green attendant call lights, to the attendant call relay, and to the chime in the
PA 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 RESET
switch on either attendant panel.The RESET switches on the attendant panels
are connected in series.Thus, pressing one removes power from the attendant
relay and makes the call lights go off.
GROUND CREW CALL
Pressing the GRD CALL switch on the forward overhead panel P5 applies 28v
dc power to the ground crew call horn. The horn will sound as long as the
switch is pressed. The ground crew call horn also serves as an audible warning
device for the IRS (inertial reference system). The IRS warning system relay
comes on in the flight instrument accessory unit or integrated flight instrument
accessory unit, and applies 28v dc power to the ground crew call horn, whenever the IRS is powered by its battery or the IRS is turned on and the equipment cooling fan is not operating. The air-ground relay must be in the ground
position before the IRS warning system relay can energize.

23-31 PASSENGER ADDRESS (PA)

GENERAL
The PA system supplies voice messages, and chime signals via speakers to
all passengers and attendants in the passenger cabin.The PA system also supplies boarding music via the speakers to the passenger cabin. PA sidetone is
provided to the flight deck crewmembers via their audio selector panels.
PA
inputs have an order of priority, when the PA receives an input it
will cancel 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 aft
attendant speakers. This prevents feed back during attendant announcements.
Keying the pilots PA microphone will disable the muting of both forward
and aft attendant speakers.
Discrete signals from the passenger signs system cause a low tone chime
signal to be sounded. A single low chime occurs whenever the NO SMOKING
or the FASTEN SEAT BELT signs are switched on or off.
Discrete signals from the attendant call system cause high tone chime
signals to be sounded. A single high chime occurs when an attendant call
switch is pressed at a passenger service unit (PSU) or from a lavatory.
Discrete signals from the cabin interphone system cause high-low chimes
to be sounded. A single high-low chime occurs for a crew to attendant
call.
01-04-2010
Voice announcements from the pilots are made through the flight interphone
system. The announcements amplified by the PA amplifier are returned to the
pilots via the flight interphone system. Amplification by the PA amplifier is enabled by PTT (push-to-talk) inputs.
The PA amplifier has circuitry to provide system testing. All PA speakers can
be checked. Output level of the amplifier can be determined to allow for adjustments.
The system amplifier gain is increased by 6 db to compensate for increased
noise levels when either engine is operating.
Each audio input into the PA amplifier has a PTT control signal. Priorities within
the 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 operational status of the PA system. The spring loaded CAL position applies the
PA amplifier main output to an internal load. The power applied across the load
is displayed on the LED indicators. The TEST position causes a calibrated high
chime tone from the main and auxiliary outputs to all speakers. The NORM
position is used for system operation.
After performing any tests, the switch should always be returned to the
NORM position.

TAPE REPRODUCER
GENERAL
The tape reproducer is operated from the controls on the face of the unit.
There are controls for selection and play of both boarding music and prerecorded announcements.
To open the door holding the tape magazine, display 90 in the window
and press music channel switches 1 and 2 simultaneously.
All the programs are on one C-60/90 Phillips four channel cassette tape. Two
of the channels are for boarding music; one for selected announcements and
the remaining channel for the emergency oxygen announcement.
MUSIC
The front face of the tape reproducer has MUSIC controls for off/on/volume
and selection of music channel 1 or 2.
To playback boarding music program 1 or 2, press MUSIC channel
button 1 or 2 and press the START button. Adjust music volume by rotating
MUSIC control. Either music program may be stopped at any time by pressing the STOP button. The boarding music program being played may also be
switched at any time by pressing the other MUSIC channel button.
PRERECORDED ANNOUNCEMENT
The front face of the reproducer has the controls for selecting and playing prerecorded announcements. The selection is made with a numerical keyboard
which selects the desired announcement by number and displays the selection
in the window. Upon selecting an announcement, boarding music will
cease and the reproducer will search for and key at the start of the selected
announcement. The READY light indicates the completion of the search
mode.
Pushing the START button will initiate playing of the announcement. If START
is pressed before the search is complete the search will continue and announcement playback will start immediately upon completion of search. The
announcement will play to completion or until STOP is pressed, after which
time the reproducer will return to the boarding music mode of operation before
announcement selection.
An oxygen emergency announcement has priority over any other announcement or boarding music. This announcement is not manually selected. It will
play automatically and repeat upon closing of the OXY IND relay, R324. This
relay closes as part of the sequence during activation of passenger oxygen.
All keyboard, START, STOP, and channel 1 or 2 buttons backlight
when pushed. The channel selection 1 and 2 buttons are push-on/push-off.
All other buttons are momentary.

23 - 21 RADIO COMMUNICATION PANEL

GENERAL
OPERATION
The radio communication panels RCP-1, RCP-2 and RCP-3 are installed on
the aft electronics panel, P8.
Each RCP can make a radio selection and a frequency selection for each of
available radio systems. To set the RCP for a VHF system, push the applicable radio selector switch on the RCP (VHF-1, VHF-2 or VHF-3). The switch
light will come on to show the selection was made at that RCP.
Use the frequency selector knobs, frequency displays and an ACTIVE/
STANDBY transfer switch to set the RCP for a frequency selection. Each RCP
has an ACTIVE frequency display and a STANDBY frequency display. The ACTIVE frequency 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 of
RCP failure. All radios can still be controlled from other RCPs in the event of a
single RCP failure.
The OFF SIDE CONTROL light illuminates whenever an RCP is used to select
a frequency for an OFF-SIDE radio (refer to the operation paragraphs for a definition of OFF-SIDE). Radio normally associated with this VHF panel is being
tuned 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).
The frequency selected will show in the STANDBY frequency display and can
be 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 RCPs. All RCPs are connected via
a cross-bus and to the associated transceiver. Whenever this radio is called up
on another RCP, the frequency pair originally selected with the on-side RCP will
then show on the off-side RCP. The OFF SIDE CONTROL light will illuminate
on both RCPs.
When a failure occurs the indication FAIL appears in the ACTIVE display window. In this case the onside transceiver can not be tuned from the associated
RCP. With the OFF switch you must disable this RCP. Than the transceiver
can be tuned from other RCPs.
The third VHF transceiver is originally connected with the ACARS management
unit. 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 appears in the ACTIVE frequency window on this RCP.

23 - 21 VHF - COMMUNICATION
GENERAL
The very high frequency (VHF) communication system provides short-range
two-way voice and data communication in the frequency range of 118.000
through 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 transceiver, a RCP and a blade antenna.
Each VHF system interfaces with the audio integration system and the SELCAL system.
VHF-1 system power is obtained from the hot battery bus, VHF-2 system
power is obtained from switched electronics bus No. 2 and VHF-3 system
power is obtained from DC bus No. 1.
An off-side condition will turn on the cross-tuning annunciator on the RCP-1

and RCP-2 and will activate tuning port B of the selected off-side radio. The
off-side RCP will acquire the tuning selections from the on-side radio and will
tune the off-side radio with the ACTIVE frequency acquired from the on-side
RCP through tuning port B of the off-side transceiver.
Tuning port A for VHF-3 is reserved for future ACARS input. VHF-3 is tuned
only through tuning port B. Selecting VHF-3 from any RCP, other than RCP-3
will result in off-side operation. Thus, the radio controlled from the off-side RCP
will 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 only
through tuning port B.
OPERATION (VHF - 700 COLLINS)

DESCRIPTION
The VHF system consists of:
S transceiver Collins VHF-700 (E2-1)
S radio control panel (P8)
S blade antenna
The frequency selection data originates in the RCP is transmitted to the transceiver over an ARINC 429 data bus.
Each VHF transceiver has two ports (A and B) for receiving tuning data. The
VHF No.1 transceiver receives the tuning data from the ACTIVE frequency on
RCP-1 through port A when VHF-1 is selected on RCP-1. Similarly the VHF
No.2 transceiver receives the tuning data of the ACTIVE frequency on RCP-2
through port B when VHF-2 is selected on RCP-2. This operation is on-side
operation.
The VHF transceiver A tuning ports are active and the cross-tunig annunciators
are off.
The selection of any VHF except No.1 by RCP-1, or the selection of any VHF
radio except No.2 by RCP-2, constitutes an off-side condition.

DESCRIPTION (VHF-700)
A crewman may transmit or receive over a VHF system after the desired channel is selected on a radio communication panel. Receiving and transmitting are
completed on the same frequency.
To receive, a crewman must activate VHF audio on the audio selector panel
(AMM 23-51-00) and adjust the volume control on the audio selector panel to
obtain a comfortable listening level. The crewman will then hear any messages
that may be received on the selected frequency.
To transmit over the VHF systems, the mic selector switch on the audio selector panel must be pressed in for the desired VHF system. Pressing the microphone PTT (push-to-talk) button of the flight interphone system will operate
control circuits in the VHF transceiver which disconnect the receiver circuits
and connect the transmitter circuits to the VHF antenna. Amplitude modulated
transmission will begin when audio signals are present on the microphone circuits. Sidetone is rectified from the modulated rf to the VHF antenna and returned to the headphones of the flight interphone system to indicate proper
operation of the transmitter. The audio selector panel volume control may be
used to adjust the sidetone audio to a comfortable listening level. When the
PTT button is released, the system will return to the receive condition.
Receive
When the VHF transceiver is not keyed, the output from the frequency synthesizer is connected to the receiver mixer and the VHF antenna is connected to
the receiver input.
With no signal input, the receiver noise output from the detector is filtered and
compared to a squelch threshold voltage in the squelch comparator. The
comparator output turns off the voice audio output to the flight interphone system.
Transmit
Transmission is initiated by grounding the PTT line in the voice mode. This activates the antenna switch and switches the frequency synthesizer output to the
transmitter section.The frequency synthesizer output is low level amplitude
modulated by audio from the interphone system and amplified for transmission.
The forward power output is sampled and fed back to the modulator where it is
used to linearize the modulated drive signal, ensuring that the modulated drive
signal accurately follows the modulation. Forward power is also sampled to
generate sidetone audio to the voice audio output. The rf output is then routed
through the antenna switch to the VHF antenna.
The PTT signal is also routed out of the VHF transceiver as a key event signal.
This is used by the digital flight recorder system to record the times during
which the VHF transceiver is keyed.

FRONTPANELTEST (VHF-700)
SQUELCH/LAMP-TEST-SWITCH
This 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 CONTROL INPUT FAIL and the green LRU PASS lights come on when this test
switch is pushed.
TEST-SWITCH
The CONTROL INPUT FAIL test checks that the VHF transceiver is receiving
valid frequency tuning data from the VHF control panel RCP. If the tuning data
is not valid, the red CONTROL INPUT FAIL light comes on indicating a VHF
control panel failure. This light remains on for about four seconds after TEST
switch is pressed.
The LRU PASS test identifies a failure on the VHF transceiver. After pressing
the TEST switch, the green LRU PASS should light for approximately one to
four seconds. At the same time, the digital display should show a value of less
than 3.0. This value is the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR).
RFL - OFF - FWD SWITCH

After the CONTROL INPUT FAIL / LRU PASS tests are completed, turning the
power test switch to FWD or RFL displays the forward or reflected power values 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 power
value.

Lufthansa Technica
01-04-2010
Operation
Frequency select signals from the VHF control panel are decoded by the frequency translator in the VHF transceiver. The translator develops control signals used in the transmitter and receiver.
The receive occurs anytime the PTT (press-to-talk) switch is not pressed. Audio modulated rf is received by the VHF transceiver via a coaxial cable from the
VHF antenna. It enters the receiver through the transmit/receive switch. The
audio signal is detected and sent to the squelch circuit and SELCAL audio
transformer. The output of the SELCAL audio transformer goes to the SELCAL
decoder. The squelch circuit suppresses receiver noises and sends the signal
to the audio compressor amplifier which maintains proper audio level. The audio then passes through the audio transformer and volume control on the control panel, then to the flight interphone system.
The transmit mode occurs by selecting VHF on the audio selector panel and
pressing a PTT switch. The PTT ground input makes the VHF transceiver into
a transmitter. It provides a ground from the MIC input to enable the transmitter
modulator, which provides the selected rf to the transmitter. With PTT depressed, the MIC input passes to an audio transformer in the VHF transceiver. The rf from the synthesizer is modulated with the audio and amplified.
The level detector detects forward power and if it is greater than 12 watts, the
light comes on.
Audio is detected as sidetone and returned to the flight interphone system via
the volume control. The modulated rf signal then passes through the transmit/
receive switch and coaxial cable to the VHF antenna.
The power amplifier supplies the modulated carrier signal to the VHF antenna
and the monitor circuits.
Transmitter output is indicated by means of a light. A portion of the modulated
transmitter power output is returned through the audio amplifier of the receiver
as sidetone to the flight interphone system.

23-11 HF - COMMUNICATION
GENERAL
A single high frequency (HF) communication system is installed in the airplane.
The HF communication system (referred to as the HF system) provides amplitude modulated and single sideband voice communication between airplane
and ground or other airplane. Communication is in the 2.000 to 29.999 MHz
frequency range on any of 28,000 channels at 1 kHz spacing. Propagation
characteristics of the HF band are most suitable for long distance communications. The HF system is composed of an HF control panel, HF transceiver,
HF antenna coupler and an HF antenna. The HF control panel is installed
on the aft electronics control stand. The HF transceiver and adapter
is installed on electronic equipment rack E6. The flush-mounted HF antenna is
part of the vertical fin leading edge. The HF antenna coupler is installed inside
the vertical fin leading edge approximately under the HF antenna. The component locations are shown in figure 1. The HF control panel enables the desired
communication channel to be selected. Sidetone is connected to the HF system audio switch in the flight interphone system. The HF antenna coupler
matches the characteristic antenna impedance to the impedance of the HF
transceiver at the particular frequency on which the system is operating. The
tuner control unit and tuner will automatically keep the voltage standing
wave ratio (VSWR) to a level between 1.3 and 1.0 thus assuring good
power transfer. Communications are completed through the flight interphone system (AMM 23-51-00/001). The HF system uses 3-phase, 115-volt,
400-Hz ac power obtained from load control center P18.
Control Panel
The HF control panel can select any one of 28,000 channels, spaced 1
kHz apart in the 2.000 to 29.999 MHz range. The HF control panel contains four frequency select knobs, a frequency display, SQ knob and a
mode select switch. The SQ (squelch) knob controls audio gain in the receiving section of the HF transceiver. The mode select switch (referred to as the
mode switch) turns the system off (OFF), selects upper sideband (USB), and
amplitude modulation (AM). A ten position rotary switch controls the calsel
system (Ref 23-29-00). The HF control panel is located on the pilots overhead panel.
01-04-2010
HF Transceiver
Each HF transceiver is a tray-type unit located in the electronic equipment
rack, shelf No. E6-2. Electrical connection is made through a multipin connector located at the rear of the HF transceiver. Antenna line connection is made
at the back of the HF transceiver.
An internal blower provides forced air cooling for the HF transceiver components. The blower is located towards the rear of the HF transceiver. The
blower operates during transmission cycles.
Each HF transceiver panel contains:
(1) LRU FAIL light that comes on as a result of HF transceiver faults.
(2) KEY INTERLOCK light that is activated as a result of HF antenna coupler
faults.
(3) CONTROL INPUT FAIL light that is activated as a result of control faults.
(4) SQL/LAMP TEST switch which tests the above indicator lights and disables squelch of receiver audio.
(5) PHONE jack, a 600-ohm headset plug-in to monitor test audio.
(6) MIC jack, a carbon microphone plug-in to enable voice modulation tests
at the HF transceiver.
HF Antenna
The HF system transmits and receives thru a flush-mounted shunt-fed
slot type of HF antenna. The HF antenna is located in the vertical fin leading
edge. The antenna dielectric portion is constructed of fiberglass. The HF antenna is the metal leading edge of the vertical fin.
HF Antenna Coupler
An HF antenna coupler is located just below the HF antenna in the vertical fin
leading edge. The HF antenna coupler has miniaturized transistor circuits contained in a rack-mounted pressurized ATR case. Electrical connection is provided through a multipin connector located on the unit front. The RF connection is through a coaxial plug designated RF INPUT also located on the front
panel. The antenna connection is on the unit rear panel. The pressurized case
has two sections divided by an RF shield which provides thermal protection
and RF isolation. The forward compartment contains tuning control modules, a
dual servo-amplifier, and the power supplies. Integrated circuit construction is
used in the servo-amplifier and tuning control modules. The rear section of the
HF antenna coupler (the RF compartment) contains the tuning element, a discriminator module, and an isolation amplifier. The tuning elements consist of
two variable vacuum capacitors and a variable inductor, associated motors,
gear trains, switches, and RF relays.

OPERATION
A 3-phase, 115-volt ac circuit breaker, on the P18 load control center, supplies
power to the HF transceiver. To receive; the mode switch, on the HF control
panel, is switched to SSB or AM mode and the desired frequency is selected.
The HF system must be selected on the audio selector panel. The VOL (volume) knob on the audio select panels, may be adjusted to obtain a comfortable
listening level. To transmit; the HF system microphone selector switch, on the
audio selector panel, must be pressed. Pressing the microphone PTT (pushto-talk) switch operates control circuits in the HF transceiver which disconnects
the receiver circuits and connects the transmitter circuits to the antenna.
Transmission begins when audio signals are present on the microphone circuits. Sidetone is returned to the interphone system so that audio being used
to modulate the transmitter can be heard.
(1) Data
The transmitter output is nominally 400 watts PEP (peak effective power) with
a maximum average power of 125 watts. The HF transceiver has a dual-conversion receiver that produces 100 mw received voice audio output, 100 mw
of sidetone output and 500 mw of SELCAL audio. Operating voltages are
produced by internal power supplies that operate from a 3-phase, 115-volt,
400 Hz primary source.
(2) Power Control
(a) Turning the HF control panels mode switch from OFF energizes the ON/
OFF relay; which provides 3-phase 115v ac to the power supply. Phase C operates the relay driver and the blower which provides cooling air during transmit
operations.
(3) Frequency and Mode Selection
(a) The operating mode and frequency are selected on the HF control panel
and supplied to the HF transceiver. This parallel data is serialized then sent to
the tuning control circuits where it is converted into bcd (binary coded decimal)
data. The bcd data is used to tune the frequency synthesizer.
(b) When a change of operating frequency is selected on the HF control panel
a rechannel signal is sent to the HF antenna coupler. This signal causes the
HF antenna coupler to return to its home position. Before the HF transceiver
can operate on this new frequency, the HF antenna must be tuned.
01-04-2010
(4) Transmit Mode

(a) In transmit mode, the HF transceiver will produce nominally 400 watts PEP
RF output in SSB operations and a nominal 125 watts average RF output in
AM operation.
(b) Pressing the microphone key or PTT switch initiates tuning of the HF antenna coupler and activates the transmitter circuits in the HF transceiver.
(c) During tuning, the HF antenna coupler supplies a TIP (tune-in-progress)
signal to the HF transceiver and holds the key line down until tuning is complete ( this signal is also called Key Interlock ). Within the HF transceiver the
TIP signal produces the following results: the transmitter is placed in the AM
mode with low-power output (72 watts), and the tune tone oscillator produces a
1000-Hz modulating audio tone. When tuning is complete (VSWR signal is
less than 1:1,3), the TIP signal is removed from the HF transceiver, the HF antenna coupler unkeys the transmitter, and HF transceiver returns to the receive
mode. With the HF antenna coupler tuned to the selected operating frequency,
the HF transceiver is then ready for transmission.
(d) If the HF antenna coupler fails to tune properly, transmission will be inhibited. In this situation, when the key or PTT switch is activated, the KEY INTERLOCK lamp on the HF transceiver front panel will light to indicate an HF
antenna coupler fault.
(e) In the HF transceiver, mike audio is applied to the balanced modulator.
Part of the audio thats being used to modulate the transmitter is routed to the
audio/sidetone output system.
(f) The output from the receiver/exciter is applied to a power amplifier through
an ALC (automatic load control) attenuator. The power amplifier raises the
100-milliwatt PEP input to a nominally 400-watt PEP output. The power amplifier has protective circuits that provide almost instantaneous shutdown of the
power amplifiers in the event of excessive power amplifier internal power dissipation.
(g) The 400-watt PEP RF output is routed through a directional wattmeter and
a transmit-receive relay to the external HF antenna coupler. Forward and reflected power detectors, within the directional wattmeter, provide voltages that
are used to generate the ALC signal and to drive the power amplifier protection
control circuit. The relay disconnects the receiver from the HF antenna coupler
and connects the transmitter to the HF antenna coupler. Whenever the HF
transceiver is in the transmit mode, an internal blower provides forced-air cooling to the transmitter circuits to prevent overheating.

Lufthansa Technica
OPERATION (CONT.)
(5) Receive Mode
(a) In the receive mode, the HF transceiver receives 2.000 to 29.999 MHz
SSB or AM signals from the external HF antenna coupler. The receiver uses
dual conversion to provide 100-mW received voice audio output.
(b) The 2.000 to 29.999 MHz signal from the HF antenna coupler is routed
through the transmit-receive relay to an RF attenuator. The RF attenuator output is applied to an RF amplifier. The output from the RF amplifier is then
routed to the receiver.
(6) Fault Lights
(a) The LRU fail light is activated by faults such as frequency synthesizer out
of lock, low transmitter power output, low power supply voltages, or failure of
the frequency control board microcomputer.
(b) The KEY INTERLOCK FAIL light is activated by HF antenna coupler faults
such as excessive tuning time (more than 15 seconds), HF antenna coupler
power failure, or excessive tuning reactance.
(c) The CONTROL INPUT FAIL light is activated by such problems with frequency selection as absence of parallel data with HF label, or invalid format or
faulty content of input from the HF control panel.
Antenna Tuning
A complete tuning sequence consists of four basic steps. These steps are:
Home, Standby, Tune, and Operate.
The four steps are controlled by a sequence counter which can only advance
to a new position if the conditions of the existing step are satisfied. When a
fault sensor (fifth step) is activated, the circuit overrides all other steps.
A brief description of each sequence follows:
(1) Home
When primary power is first applied, or when a new frequency is selected on
the HF control panel, a ground is switched to the HF antenna coupler. The HF
antenna coupler, in turn, sets a sequence counter to run the elements to the
home position. In this position (home), the series capacitor, shunt capacitor, and shunt coil are effectively set to provide minimum attenuation. When all
tuning elements reach their home position, a pulse is sent to the sequence
counter to advance it to the standby position.
01-04-2010
(2) Standby
In the standby position, the HF antenna coupler is set up to receive and the HF
antenna coupler is ready to start a tune cycle upon receipt of a key line ground.
The receive path is from the HF antenna through a relay switch, the isolation amplifier, and from the descriminator to the receiver. If the other HF antenna coupler is keyed, the relay switch de-energizes and shorts the receive
signal to ground. When the HF antenna coupler receives the key line ground
return, the sequence counter advances the system to the tune position.
(3) Tune
(a) Tuning is performed in three steps.
(b) In step A, the series capacitor is servo-tuned to a zero-phasing error position. At some frequencies, the series capacitor or the shunt coil will be inserted
and positioned due to band information commands so the series capacitor
can produce a zero phasing error. The sequence counter then advances to
step B.
(c) Step B determines whether or not the shunt coil is needed for tuning.
(d) During step C, either the shunt capacitor or the shunt coil (as selected in
steps A and B) is servo-tuned to produce zero loading error. The series capacitor is fine-tuned to retain a zero phasing error. At this point, the sequence
counter advances to the operate position.
(4) Operate
Upon reaching the operate sequence, the tune power and key lines have unlatched and the HF antenna coupler is ready to transmit and receive. When
the operator selects a new frequency, the sequence counter advances to the
home step and the complete tuning sequence is repeated.

The CALSEL system allows the flight crew to alert an appropriately equipped
ground station via the HF system using the CALSEL encoder control.
the registration number of the calling airplane will be displayed to the operator
on ground. The call signal can be selected on the CALSEL control panel
Activation of the CALSEL encoder control will automatically key the HF radio
system and transmit the airplane CALSEL code on the HF frequency determined by the HF radio frequency selector.
The transmitted signal contains the registration number of the calling airplane.
It is coded by wire links on the panel connector.
The coded signal consists of a 32 bit word. The bit states are represented by
two audio frequencies: 1285 and 1715 Hz.

23-22 SELCAL
GENERAL
The SELCAL (selective calling) system allows a ground station, with tone
transmitting equipment, to call a specific airplane. When the correct tone combination is received, the airplane SELCAL decoder unit signals the flight crew
by a SELCAL light and an electronic chime. The SELCAL system eliminates
the necessity of continuous monitoring of the communication system by the
flight crew.
The SELCAL system consists of the SELCAL decoder unit. Visual indication
is provided by CALL indicators on the audio selector panels or by a SELCAL
light on the VHF COMM/NAV control panel.The electronic chime is part of the
aural warning system.
When the ground station operator wants to call a specific airplane using
the SELCAL system, the four-tone code which has been assigned to the
airplane is added to the audio transmitted from the ground station. This
code is received by a communication system and sent to the SELCAL decoder
unit. If the four-tone code received is identical to the code entered on
the SELCAL decoder, the flight crew will be alerted by the SELCAL light
and electronic chime.
On airplanes with call indications on the audio selector panels, the call is reset
by pushing the call indication for the system with the call on any audio selector
panel. For airplanes without call indications on the audio selector panels, the
SELCAL 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 decoder
channels 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 compressor amplifiers, filters, an analog to digital converter, a microprocessor and
control relays.
Every channel will recognize the unique four tone code assigned to the airplane. The assigned code is pin programmable and determined by airplane
wiring to SELCAL decoder connector D2555B or connector D849.
The four tone code is resolved with a 16-bit binary word. Four bits of the word
determine each tone. A coding receptacle is wired to implement the unique 16
bits of this code for the airplane. This receptacle is mounted external to the
SELCAL decoder and connected to it with a short cable. Thus the SELCAL
decoder can be replaced without affecting the code.The coding receptacle is
placed on the rack behind the decoder.
A green and a red and five yellow LEDs are located at the front panel of this
decoder. Push the test knob on the front panel and check the indication:
S all LEDs come on for about 3s (lamp test)
S subsequentily all LEDs come on step by step (testsequence)
S at the end of the test the green GO LED comes on for about 3 s (no failure)
S in case of existing failure the red NO GO LED comes on.
MOTOROLA Selcal Decoder

Two separate decoders, in a common case, make up the dual SELCAL decoder unit. One decoder receives the audio input from the VHF-1 transceiver,
the other decoder from the VHF-2 and VHF-3 transceivers. Each decoder
consists of an audio amplifier, a resonant reed circuit, a dc amplifier and control
relays.

23-27 ACARS
GENERAL
The Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) is a
digital data-link system that operates between an airplane and a ground-based
network of receiver-transmitter stations and central processing stations. The
transmission medium is generally a single frequency in the VHF frequency
range. The VHF-3 is used by the ACARS to transmit and receive messages.
By automatically transmitting routine messages, the ACARS reduces crew
workload. Also, lengthy voice transmissions to communicate with the
ground are reduced with the ACARS.
The airborne ACARS system is used to transmit and receive data or messages. Messages for transmission can be generated automatically or can be
input manually by crewmembers.The ACARS will then properly tune and key
the 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 the
ACARS. The crew can send a downlink message to request to talk to a
party on the ground. The message can even contain the telephone number
of the party. The ground can then make the arrangements, uplink the
frequency the crew needs to tune in, and command the ACARS to switch automatically to voice mode.
The ACARS Management Unit (MU) controls all functions of the airborne
ACARS 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 equipment rack by two hooks at the front and a rack and panel connector on the
rear.
A TEST switch and a PASS and FAULT light are located on the front of
the MU. When the TEST switch is pushed, the unit stops all ACARS
functions and starts a self-test. The result of the test is reported by lights on
the front of the MU and are also sent to the MCDUs for display.
The left and right Multi-purpose Control Display Units (MCDUs) provide the
user 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 being
used on the other MCDU. ACARS can be used on only one MCDU at a time.
01-04-2010
Selecting the line select key adjacent to the <ACARS prompt will call up the
ACARS main menu page. From here, all ACARS functions can be accessed,
such as pre-flight initialization, weather requests, system status checks, or link
tests.
The airplane registration number and the airline ID are hardwire coded at the
back of the MU by the shorting receptacle. The registration number is a seven
character number and the airline ID a two character code.

OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
When the ACARS is not transmitting a message, it monitors the data frequency
through the VHF-3 transceiver for messages from the ground. The system
recognizes messages intended for the airplane in which it is installed by the
address of the message. Each message has a 7 character address, which can
be either the registration number or the flight number. The airplanes registration number is provided by the ACMS system (DFDAMRU). The flight number
is entered into the FMS system by the crew before each flight. The ACARS
will 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 success of the previous message reception.
The ACK is generated when a valid address for the receiving terminal is received and a good block check sequence was performed.
The NAK is generated when a valid address was received and a bad block
check sequence was performed. The exception to this is when the receiving
terminal is the ground-processor and the operating mode is the demand
mode. In this case the ground-processor will have no response to a bad block
check sequence.
Operational Modes
The airborne ACARS system operates in conjunction with the ground-based
data processors. The two primary modes of operation are the demand mode
and the polled mode. Two additional modes of operation are the off mode
and the failed mode.
(1) Off Mode
- ACARS is in the off mode when 115v ac is removed from AC Bus 1 or
when the ACARS AC circuit breaker is opened.
- As long as 28v dc Hot Bat Bus power is available to the MU through the
ACARS DC circuit breaker, essential RAM memory will be retained and
the 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 following conditions:
01-04-2010
(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 polls
an aircraft periodically (at most once every 2 seconds). If the MU has a
message in memory for downlink, it will initiate a transmission.
- The polled mode is used in areas of heavy ACARS traffic so that the
ground 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 under
one of the following conditions:
S When commanded to do so by an uplink.
S When the ON event occurs.
S 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 designed to most failures. When a failure is detected an MCDU indication is activated. Message Format

VHF-3 Transceiver;
S 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 with
2400/4800 Hz at 4800 baud). A 1200 Hz tone indicates a bit change from
the previous bit (0 to 1 or 1 to 0) while a 2400 Hz tone indicates no bit
change (0 to 0 or 1 to 1).
S The MU supplies the tuning word to the VHF transceiver on port A of the
transceiver. The tuning word is in the 32 bit ARINC 429 format.
S The MU grounds the voice/data select line of the VHF transceiver.
S 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 as
the source for the tuning word, thereby allowing the MU to control the data
frequency tuning. In VHF 3-voice mode, the MU will open the port select
discrete to allow tuning by port B only as the VHF control panel has to tune
the transceiver to the voice frequecncy.
Radio Communication Panels;

S The port select discrete to the VHF-3 transceiver is also connected to the
Radio Communication Panels . When grounded, the ACARS indication will
show in the active display of the control panel that is selected to the VHF-3
transceiver, indicating that the MU has control of the tuning.
S A discrete from the VHF control panel allows for remote voice/data switching. When VHF 3 is in voice mode and the display transfer button on the
active ACARS control panel is pushed, ACARS will change to data mode
and the ACARS indication will move to the active display.
Aural Warning Module;
S A voice-go-ahead discrete from the MU to the aural warning module provides the pilot with a chime to notify the pilot when a VOICE CONTACTmessage is received .
S Automatically with the occurance of pre-defined events. These include OOOI times and certain Aircraft Condition Monitoring System
(ACMS) reports. The pre-defined events can be changed by software.
S Manually by crew request.
S In response to uplink messages which require a response.

This page shows the active ACARS frequency - default is Europe with the frequency of 131.725 MHz. Any other ACARS frequency is selectable by LSK.
The character before the frequency value means:
- A: -automatic selection
- M: -manually selected
- S: -selected by acars ground station
- D: -selected by acars ground station
The message AUTO/MAN FREQ MISMATCH appears in the Scratch Pad ,

when the manually selected artea doesnt agree with the FMC PPOS.
Is a PPOS not available, the message NO LAT/LON, USE MAN FREQ appears.
TEST
On Maintenance Page you get access to the TEST page. On the associated
RCP you can see the message ACARS in the active frequency window. That
means the ACARS MU is connected to the VHF-3 transceiver.
S LINK TEST: This function activates a Downlink (DL) to test the link to a
ground station. Push LSK 1L to activate the test. During the testprocedure,
TEST is indicated. If the link is possible, PASS is shown. If there is no connection to a ground station, FAIL is shown. The message INITIATE appears
about 5 s after the end of the test.
S PRINTER TEST: This function activates a test printout on the printer.
S COM AUDIT: this function can be switched ON and OFF. If the function is
ON, a status report is printed, when a DL or a Uplink (UL) is activated.
S MCDU TEST: This function shows a test indication on the MCDU screen.
S RAM TEST: This function activates internal RAM testing. Indication is PASS
or FAIL.

ACARS MU FRONTPANEL TEST

After installation, correct operation of the ACARS MU can be checked by using
the following controls located on the MU frontface:
PASS/FAULT indicator lights
In normal operation, the lights indicate the actual status of the ACARS MU. In
test mode, after a 3s indicator light test, the lights indicate the test result.
7 SEGMENT LED
If a test is activated and a failure is detected, the LED shows a fault code. Examples:
S 3: A/C registration missed (the MU did not receive the A/C registration)
S 2: A/C type mismatch (the A/C type defined in software is different to the pin
program information)
S 1: bad H/W part number (the MU partnumber and the pin program information is different)
TEST pushbutton
Whe pressing the test pushbutton switch:
S a ACARS MU Cold Start is initiated.
S the LRU PASS and FAULT lights come on for 3s approximately to indicate
correct operation.
S 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 faulty
and shows a fault code on the LED.
WARNING
Pressing the test knob at the MU initiates a MU-coldstart! This resets all datas
the MU is presently working with, including datas entered via the MCDU!!!
/Additional programming is lost!). See also ACARS MU RESET!!!

MCDU Message: NO COMM
S Description: The message NO COMM appears at the scratchpad on the
MCDU.
S 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 completed. 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.
S 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 appears ACARS and at the scratchpad of the MCDU appears ACARS
VOICE. Check the quality of the voice-connection with the ground operator.
- Perform a ACARS MU RESET at the DEBUG Page 2/2.

23-71 VOICE RECORDER

GENERAL
OPERATION
The voice recorder system records and preserves a continuing record of

the latest 30 minutes of flight crew communications and conversation.
The voice recorder system has four inputs for simultaneous recording of
all communications in the flight compartment on four track tape. Channel
one receives audio from the first observers audio selector panel, channel two
receives audio from the first officers audio selector panel and channel three
receives audio from the captains audio selector panel. Channel four audio is
taken from a microphone in the voice recorder control panel.
The voice recorder system consists of a recorder unit installed on the
right side of the airplane in the aft cargo compartment; a control panel
installed in the pilots overhead panel P5; interconnecting wiring; and relay contacts in the landing gear accessory unit Module M338.
An erase head in the recorder automatically erases previously recorded
information prior to recording. A 30-minute length of closed loop magnetic
tape provides a record of the previous 30 minutes of conversation. An internal
monitoring circuit ensures proper operation of the recording mechanism and
circuits. Audible and visible indications derived from the monitoring circuits are
presented at a meter and a jack on the control panel when the test switch on
the control panel is operated. The entire tape may be erased after the airplane
has landed and the parking brake has been set.
An Underwater Locating Beacon (ULB) that is not part of the underwater
locating system is installed on the front panel of the voice recorder.
The ULB is an acoustic beacon that energizes when it is immersed in
water, thereby assisting to locate the recorder in case of an accident over the
ocean or other body of water. Three types of ULB are in service. One type (the
N15F210B) is powered by a replaceable battery.The second type (DK100) is
powered by a replaceable battery, but must be returned to the vendor for battery replacement or for disposal. The third type (Datasonics ELP-362) is powered by a replaceable battery.
Operating power for the voice recorder system is 115 volts, 400 Hz AC
obtained from the unswitched electronics bus through the VOICE RECORDER
circuit breaker on the P18 panel.
The voice recorder system automatically records the latest 30 minutes of

communications and conversation in the flight compartment. The system is
in operation whenever 115-volt AC power is applied to AC bus No. 1.
Communications and interphone audio from the first observers, the first
officers and the captains audio selector panels is applied to channel
1 through 3 respectively of the voice recorder. Conversation in the flight
compartment is picked up and amplified by the microphone and preamplifier in
the voice recorder control panel and applied to channel 4.
The playback head and monitor amplifier are used to monitor information
recorded on all tracks of the tape. The audio output of the monitor amplifier is
available at the MONITOR jack on the front panel of the voice recorder and at
the HEADSET jack on the voice recorder control panel. This audio is supplied
to the test meter on the voice recorder control panel. On the Fairchild Voice
Recorder Model A100, the audio also supplies input to the meters on the front
of the voice recorder.
Self test for Fairchild Voice Recorder Model A100
Pushing the TEST pushbutton on the voice recorder control panel causes the
test module to apply a 600-Hz signal to each channel in sequence, thereby
testing all channels. If they are functioning properly, the control panel meter
reads 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 recorder
operates the same test as the TEST pushbutton on the voice recorder
control panel.
On the front panel of the cockpit voice recorder are test switches for testing
recording channels 1 through 4 individually.To initiate a test for an individual
channel, push the test switch on the face of the cockpit voice recorder for the
particular channel number.This individual channel test causes the test module
to apply a 600 Hz signal to the channel being tested.
The bulk erase module contains timing, relays, and erase circuits which
apply 115 volts, 400 Hz AC to the erase coil in the tape transport. The
bulk erase circuits erase all audio on the recorder tape within ten seconds after
the ERASE switch on the control panel is released. The bulk erase circuits will
function only when the airplane is on the ground and the parking brake is set
because the control circuit must be completed through relay K4 in the landing
gear accessory unit module
