1. Introduction
1.1.Description
This document describes the general operation of the Eagle Copters P139-HD Digital Audio System.
As the P139-HD is highly customizable, this document describes features common to all audio systems.
Customer-specific information may be found in the configuration documentation that came with the Audio
System.
1.2.Definition of Terms
Throughout this document, the term “Radio” applies to any audio device that may be connected to this
audio system, even though that device may not be an actual radio.
A “Listen-Only” device may be a radio receiver or any type of device that generates an audio signal, such
as NAV radios, and warning tone generators.
A “Transmit-Only” device, such as a Public Address System, does not provide any receive audio. The
unused receive input on a transmit-only channel may be used for an unrelated listen-only device.
“Gnet” is the Eagle Copters proprietary network used to communicate with control heads and other Eagle
Copters equipment. Each Gnet Bus consists of a two-wire serial data connection, 28V power and Ground.
Up to 15 devices may be connected to each bus in a parallel or daisy-chain fashion. Devices are
identified by jumpering specific ID pins in the device connector.

2.2.Audio Router Types
There are three types of P139-HD Audio Systems that may be installed. Unless otherwise specified,
information in this user guide applies to all models of routers.
P139-HD (D) Uses Router G13000 in a “Dual-board” configuration and is shown in the diagrams
and is the router used throughout the instructions. This router provides 12 headset ports, 20 radio
ports, and 4 Gnet buses.
P139-HD (S) Uses Router G13000 in a “Single-board” configuration that uses the same case as
the dual-board router, but with only one audio board installed. This router provides 6 headset
ports, 10 radio ports, and 2 Gnet buses.
P139-HD (T) uses Router G13160 and is a “Three board” router. This router provides 18 headset
ports, 30 radio ports, and 6 Gnet buses.

The P139-HD (D) and (S) Audio Systems consists of a G13000 Digital Audio Router, a number of control
panels (type and number of control panels depends on the customers’ configuration) and associated
cabling. The P139-HD (T) system uses the G13160 3-board audio router instead of the G13000 router.
The G13000 front panel has seven connectors and four LEDs:

3. Radio Ports
3.1.Description
The P139-HD Audio System has 20 Radio Ports for connecting to external devices. Each Radio Port
consists of a Receive (RX) channel from the external device to the P139-HD, a Transmit (TX) channel
from P139-HD to external device, and a Keyline that acts as a ground-closure push-to-talk (PTT) switch.
The P139-HD (S) has 10 Radio Ports and the P139-HD (T) has 30 Radio Ports.
To accommodate devices with different input and output voltage levels, the P139-HD has adjustable
levels. More information is given in the Configuration Web Page section.
4. Headset Ports
4.1.Description
The P139-HD Audio System has 12 Headset ports. Each port consists of a Microphone (Mic) channel, an
Earphone (Ear) channel, an ICS PTT line keyed by an external ground closure switch, and a Transmit
PTT line keyed by an external ground closure switch wired directly to the P139-HD Router.
The Pilot headset position has a second Transmit PTT keyline that keys the COM1 radio regardless of
the settings on the pilot control panel. The Co-pilot headset has a similar keyline to directly key COM2.
The P139-HD (S) has 6 Headset Ports and the P139-HD (T) has 18 Headset Ports.
