SECTION 1

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This publication provides operating and installation information on the Model A711 L-series,

ACCESS/A Audio Controls manufactured by Technisonic Industries Limited. For convenience, it

is referred to as the “A711L” in the manual. This unit is designed to provide high performance

cockpit audio control in high noise installations. The unit is plug and pin compatible with the

ACCESS/A family format, to allow fleet wide compatibility with all ACCESS/A installations, with

the following limitations: The A711L has its extra functions assigned to the “Alerting”

connector, and can also have 3-tone alerting as an internal option. These connections are slightly

different than a standard A710/711 unit, and to prevent any airframe problems, the alerting

connector has different locks on the A711L, to make it impossible to connect it to an airframe

wired for default A710/711 functions. If an existing installation had no alerting connector wiring,

then it can be used without difficulty, but note the installation issues regarding annunciator

dimming. The A711L comes ONLY in a 28V panel backlight configuration.

1.2 DESCRIPTION

This high power audio controller delivers at least 332 mW of audio into 150 ohms at less than 2%

total distortion to the pilot and co-pilot positions simultaneously. It can deliver lower output powers

into 300 and 600 ohm headsets. The pilot’s position may also be internally strapped to interface

with 8-20 ohm headsets at the same power level. Push-button transmit selector switches allow

immediate selection of any of the seven supported aircraft communications transceivers and a PA

amplifiers, while additional push-button audio input selector switches allow selection of any or all

of the supported transceiver’s receive audio lines. In addition, a switched (and adjustable) input is

provided for special functions such as Cross-Sidetone (CST), a Nav Aid, or a Music feed.

ACCESS/A systems have auto-RX switching when a transmitter is selected, to reduce pilot

workload and avoid operational problems.

The A711L has front panel selectable and adjustable VOX, LIVE or KEYED intercom (ICS)

functions. An EMERGENCY mode push-button switch (switch and LED turn red-orange when

activated) provides "straight through" or “fail-passive” transmit and receive audio for the pilot on

the selected communications channel. This switch also provides an implicit pilot ISOLATION

function, and allows the pilot to isolate himself from the co-pilot (and the ICS system), so that he

may access different communications from the other users supported by this panel (in essence,

an emergency link to the selected transceiver only). In the NORMAL position (switch turns black

& LED green), the pilot's audio is provided as selected by all of the panel controls, and is part of

the ICS system. Separate RX and ICS volume controls are provided on the panel along with an

ICS VOX threshold control. These units can also provide ICS support and boom mic TX support

for a complete aircraft crew, including the pilot, co-pilot, and up to 4-6 additional passengers.

1.3 PURPOSE OF THE EQUIPMENT

The A711L ACCESS/A Audio Controls are designed to provide centralized audio management

and control within an airborne communications environment. This includes radio and transceiver

selection, intercom, airframe threat alerting, and crew management. These units have been

packaged to minimize size and weight characteristics and are ideally suited for helicopter

installations, or any other Dzus rail panel location. The A711L meets all of the current

requirements of US Forest Service "contractor furnished avionics" and can be used in a dual

control installation in conjunction with a TiL FM airborne transceiver to comply with all US Forest

Service Contract Requirements. These products are also compliant with TSO-C50c. The units

were tested according to RTCA/DO-214 and RTCA/DO-160C applicable categories with the

exception of the RF Susceptibility Test, which is based upon the requirements of RTCA/DO-160A,

and the Lightning Induced Transient Susceptibility Test which is not called out under RTCA/DO-

170.

1.4 MODEL VARIATION

The A711L comes in two basic lighting configurations, all with +28VDC panel lighting, a regular

version and an NVG optimized panel lighting version. Operationally the two are identical, but the

NVG panel is set to a lower intensity range and has a different optical wavelength. The color of

the regular solid-state backlighting is “White”, the NVG is “Verde” centered at a 505nm

wavelength. Panel front color is matte black, and the lighted knobs can be in several formats. The

default knob style is all black, except the two ICS knobs (VOX and level), which are gray for easy

identification. Units may also be supplied with or without internal 3-tone alerting (w/ground-

seeking keylines). See the ACCESS/A price list for model numbers and availability or different

versions. All A711 L-series part numbers begin 961072, followed by a dash number. The most

common variations are summarized below:

Dash First Digit Second Digit Second Digit

-2 Black w/Gray ICS 0 No Alerting, Direct I/P, CST 1 Full Alerting, CST

1.6 SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

A summary of the relevant system limitations is given below.

1.6.1 Power Limitations

With Standard Set-up, which consists of six headsets connected, a power output of not less than

332 mW is delivered per headset (as represented by 150 ohms) provided that the Direct Alert

Input is terminated in not less than 600 ohms and that nominal input voltages are applied

at the applicable channel inputs. Nominal microphone input: 100 mV

rms

; Nominal

Communications/Navigational Input: 5.5 V

rms

1.6.2 Frequency Response Limitations

In accordance with the provisions made in RTCA/DO-214 Sections 2.8.1 and 1.5.1 the

communications transmit out and receiver channels (communications and navigational) possess

an effective bandwidth of 300 Hz--3000 Hz with a maximum amplitude variation of 3 dB within the

frequency range.

1.6.3 Crosstalk Limitations

To ensure that the crosstalk specifications are in accordance with the applicable sections of DO-

214, it is essential that 1) manufacturer’s maximum microphone input voltage of -4.7 dBu not

be exceeded in order to avoid jeopardising input to microphone output crosstalk results,

particularly at the low frequency end, 2) in the instance where only two access units are daisy

chained via their ICS tie-lines, a resistor of not greater than 600 ohms must be maintained

across the ICS tie-line in order to avoid jeopardising station to station crosstalk results in Rx

mode at the high frequency end.

The phenomenon of music appearing at the headset of the Second Station Panel (SSP or unit at

which the crosstalk is measured) for station to station crosstalk considerations is a limitation of the

A711L and for which crosstalk at high frequencies (6000 Hz and greater) can fall below 65 dB of

attenuation. However music for most intents and purposes may be considered an optional feature,

which may be turned off without a negative impact on the essential functioning of the access units.

Further, valid station to station crosstalk measurements were quoted in respect of a half power

level at the headset at the First Station Panel (FSP or unit from which the crosstalk originates) as

opposed to a half power level at the speaker output of the FSP because it is envisioned in the

latter scenario that the substantial speaker level (which will also necessitate very large signal

levels at the FSP headset) will have an impact on the listener at the SSP whether a crosstalk

signal appears at the SSP listener’s headset or not.

When multiple transceivers are selected for simulcast operation, they are bound together at the

station output, and thus are also bound together for other stations as well, defeating cross-talk

measurements. All measurements are based on single transceiver TX selection.
