Section 1.0 Description
1.1 Introduction
This manual contains information on the AA21-400 Cabin PA System.
Information in this section consists of purpose of equipment, features and specifications.
1.2 Purpose of Equipment
The AA21-400 Cabin PA control unit is designed to provide centralized control for an aircraft’s internal and
external PA systems. The design is contained in one panel-mounted unit, with an illuminated faceplate. All
audio and keylines are interfaced to existing aircraft audio systems. Front panel switches provide selection
of the various operational modes of the AA21 and a potentiometer provides output volume control.
1.3 Features
The AA21-400 provides selection and control of internal and/or external PA system(s) installed in an aircraft.
The integrated 25 W speaker driver circuit is designed to drive one 8 speaker arrangement for internal
paging. The AA21-400 also provides a low-level audio signal output that drives the input on a remote
mounted power amplifier. The output is designed to drive the PA110/220 or PA250/700 series amplifiers.
The AA21-400 provides generation of wail and yelp siren audio on the low level output when selected on
the front panel.
A ‘+3 dB’ function allows the output level of the system to be varied by 3 dB. When the input control line is
grounded, the output is reduced by approximately 3 dB, and removing the ground returns the system to full
output.
Thermal protection is designed into the intermediate and final stage amplifiers to protect the unit during
very hot or extended high power operating conditions.
Four front panel switches provide selection of the various operational modes of the AA21-400 as described
in Section 3 of this manual (Operation).

Information in this section consists of: unpacking and inspection procedures, installation procedures, post-
installation checks, and installation drawings.
2.2 Unpacking and Inspection
Unpack the equipment carefully and locate the warranty card. Inspect the unit visually for damage due to
shipping and report all such claims immediately to the carrier involved. Note that each unit should have the
following:
- AA21-400 Cabin PA System
- Warranty Card
- Release certification
Verify that all items are present before proceeding and report any shortage immediately to your supplier.
Complete the warranty card information and send it to AEM when the installation is complete. If you fail to
complete the warranty card, the warranty will be activated on date of shipment from AEM.
2.3 Installation Procedures
2.3.1 Note to Installers
The AA21-400 is intended for use as a cockpit-mounted control for an internal or external aircraft PA
system, where such a system is not installed to fulfill the airworthiness requirements for the aircraft or an
operating rule.
The AA21-400 is certified to RTCA DO-160D Section 20 (RF Susceptibility) Category T, for installation in a
well-protected electromagnetic environment such as an enclosed avionics bay in an all-metallic aircraft.
The equipment shall therefore not be installed to satisfy the requirement of FAR 25.1423 for a Public
Address system.
2.3.2 Warnings
Never ground any audio output line from the AA21-400 or permanent damage may result. Always check ADF
and compass calibration after installing external speakers or PA amplifiers. Significant single cycle errors may
be caused by the concentration of steel and magnetic material. Do not bundle any lines from these units with
transmitter coax lines. Do not bundle anylines from this unit with 400 Hz synchro wiring, or AC power lines.

ENG-FORM: 805-0100.DOTX
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY TO ANODYNE ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING CORP.
2.3.3 Cautions
Use shielded cable exactly as shown and ground as indicated. All audio installations can be severely
degraded by incorrect wiring and shielding. Unusual buzzes, hums or other background audio are
symptomatic of multiple grounds, or noisy external systems such as blowers or pumps sharing wiring with
the audio system. Never operate any of these units below their 8 rated impedance.
2.3.4 Cabling and Wiring
All unshielded wire shall be selected in accordance with AC43.13-1B Change 1, Paragraphs 11-76 through
11-78. Wire types should be to MIL-W-22759 as specified in AC43.13-1B Change 1, Paragraphs 11-85,
11-86, and listed in Table 11-11. For shielded wire applications, use Tefzel MIL-C-27500 shielded wire
with solder sleeves (for shield terminations) to make the most compact and easily terminated interconnect.
Follow the wiring diagrams in Section 2.6 as required.
Allow 3 inches from the endof the wire to the shield termination to allow the hood to be easilyinstalled. Note that the
hood is a ‘clamshell’ hood, and is installed after the wiring is complete.
All wiring should be at least 22 AWG, except power and ground lines, which should be at least 20 AWG.
Ensure that all ground connections are clean and well secured. To prevent system failure or inadequate
equipment protection, power must be supplied from a separate breaker or fuse and not connected to any
other source.
2.3.5 Post-Installation Checks
2.3.5.1 Voltage/resistance checks
Do not attach the AA21-400 until the following conditions are met.
Check the following:
a) P101 pins <1> <2> and <3> for +28 Vdc relative to ground.
b) P101 pins <14>, <15> and <16> for continuity to ground (below 0.5 ).
c) P101pins<18>,and <22> (withswitchesopen)forinfiniteresistancetoground(>10M).
d) P101 pin <5> to pin <7> for 4 –6 (typical).
2.3.5.2 Power On checks
WARNING
The AA21-400 is a high power device, capable of producing tones at very high
volume levels. Ensure that all personnel are well clear of the aircraft prior to
keying the siren or PA. Failure to adhere to this warning could cause injury to
personnel and/or damage to equipment. DO NOT conduct the following tests
inside an enclosed area (i.e. a hangar.)

a) Install the Cabin PA system and remote amplifier(s) and speaker(s) as applicable, and then power
up the ship’s systems. Turn on all of the radios and other accessories required for this system.
Check that the POWER ON LED on the AA21-400 illuminates when the power switch is selected
to ON.
b) From the front panel switches, select PA and EXT. Keythesiren using thefront panel switch and remote
Siren key as described in Section 3.4.4.1. The siren should sound on the external PA speakers, and the
level should be at maximum volume(the VOL control fullycw). If the sirenrate needs adjustmentuse the
corresponding trimpot on the top of the AA21-400. Refer to section 2.3.6.1 for details.
c) Configure the audio system as required to allow connection of the pilot's mic to the PA and key the
cyclic switch for transmit. The mic audio should be heard on the PA speakers. Adjust the front
panel level control for the desired volume. Set the front panel switch to RADIO, and check for
correct radio operation and note what volume settings will produce a suitable external paging level.
USE CARE TO AVOID FEEDBACK INTO THE MICROPHONE!
Note: A faint audio signal may be heard at the speaker (even when the system is not paging) due to the
very high gain of this system and stray coupling in the wiring. It should not be audible in flight.
2.3.6 Adjustments and Connections
The unit ships from the factory with all internal adjustments set to the normal test levels. Once installed in
the aircraft, it may be desirable to change some of these settings to best suit the local operating
environment. The internal adjustments are accessible through holes located on the top of the unit.
