JA95-060 Audio Controller - Five Transceiver - Expander
SECTION 1 - DESCRIPTION
1.1 System Overview
The JA95-060 Audio Controller - Five Transceiver - Expander is a compact, lightweight panel that allows connection
of up to 4 additional radios to the aircraft audio system. The JA95-060 is compatible with the transceiver connections
of any of Jupiter’s JA9x series of audio controllers as well as any civil aviation audio controller.
The JA95-060 is set up on a per-installation basis using a configuration cable and a PC running the product
configuration tool to download system configuration settings via the configuration connector (io) without the necessity
of removing the unit from the panel. To facilitate future customizations and certification, no software or complex
electronic devices are used in the JA95-060 design.
1.2 Features Overview
Many of the JA95-060 input and output levels are adjustable, and several audio paths are selectable.
A configuration connector is provided on the faceplate of the JA95-060 for configuration of audio levels and routing.
The JA95-060 has two modes of operation: Normal Mode and Emergency Mode.
The JA95-060 supports up to five transceivers, each selectable from a rotary switch.
The JA95-060 allows transmit access for one audio panel.
1.3 Inputs and Outputs
Refer to the JA95-060 connector maps for the mating connector designators and pin assignments for the
input and output signals.

JA95-060 Audio Controller - Five Transceiver - Expander
SECTION 2 – INSTALLATION
2.1 Introduction
This section contains unpacking and inspection procedures, installation information, and post-installation checks.
2.2 Continued Airworthiness
Maintenance of the JA95-060 is on condition only. Scheduled inspection and/or periodic maintenance of this unit is
not required.
2.3 Unpacking and Inspecting Equipment
Unpack the equipment carefully. Check for shipping damage and report any problems to the relevant carrier. Confirm
that the Authorized Release Certificate or Certificate of Conformance is included. Complete the on-line warranty card
from the Jupiter Avionics Corporation (JAC) website - www.jupiteravionics.com/warranty
2.3.1 Warranty
This product manufactured by JAC is warranted to be free of defects in workmanship or performance for 2 years from
the date of installation by an approved JAC dealer or agency. This warranty covers the cost of all materials and labour
to repair or replace the unit, but does not include the cost of transporting the defective unit to and from JAC or its
designated warranty repair centre, or of removing and replacing the defective unit in the aircraft. This warranty does
not cover failures due to abuse, misuse, accident, or unauthorized alteration or repairs.
THIS WARRANTY IS VOID IF THE PRODUCT IS NOT INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORIZED JAC DEALER. If the on-
line warranty card is not completed, the product will be warranted from the date of manufacture.
Contact JAC for return authorization, and for any questions regarding this warranty and how it applies to your unit(s).
JAC is the final arbiter concerning warranty issues.
2.4 Installation Procedures
WARNING: Loud noise can cause hearing damage. Set the headset volume to minimum before
conducting tests, and slowly increase the volume to a comfortable listening level.
CAUTION: The power input circuitry of the unit may be damaged if the installation does not conform to the
wiring instructions in this manual.
2.4.1 Installation Limitations
The conditions and tests for CAN TSO approval of the JA95-060 are minimum performance standards. Those
installing the JA95-060, on or in a specific type or class of aircraft, must determine that the aircraft installation
conditions are within TSO standards. The JA95-060 may be installed only by following the applicable airworthiness
requirements.
2.4.2 Cabling and Wiring
All wire shall be selected in accordance with the original aircraft manufacturer’s maintenance instructions, or AC43.13-
1B Change 1, Paragraphs 11-76 through 11-78. Unshielded wire types shall qualify 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 tag ring or equivalent (for shield terminations) to make the most compact and easily
terminated interconnect. Follow the Connector Map in Appendix A of this manual.

JA95-060 Audio Controller - Five Transceiver - Expander
Installation and Operating Manual
Rev A Page 6
Allow 3” from the end of the shielded wiring to the shield termination to allow the connector hood to be easily installed.
Refer to the Interconnect drawing in Appendix A of this manual for shield termination details. Note that this unit has a
‘clamshell’ hood that is installed after the wiring is complete.
Maintain wire segregation and route wiring in accordance with the original aircraft manufacturer’s maintenance
instructions.
Unless otherwise noted, all wiring shall be a minimum of 24 AWG, except power and ground lines, which shall be a
minimum of 22 AWG. Refer to the Interconnect drawing for additional specifications. Check that the ground
connection is clean and well secured, and that it shares no path with any electrically noisy aircraft accessories such
as blowers, turn-and-bank instruments, or similar loads.
2.4.3 Mechanical Installation
The JA95-060 can be mounted in any attitude and location with adequate space for the front panel and sufficient
clearance for the connector and wiring harness. It requires no direct cooling.
2.4.4 Legend Replacement
The JA95-060 illuminated legends are field replaceable. For further information, refer to the ‘Legend Replacement’
document in Appendix A of this manual.
2.4.5 Post Installation Checks
2.4.5.1 Voltage/Resistance checks.
Do not attach this unit until the following conditions are met:
a) Check P1 pin 19 for lights buss voltage.
b) Check P2 pin 17 for +28 Vdc or +14 Vdc relative to ground.
c) Check P2 pin 34 for continuity to ground (less than 0.5 Ω).
d) Check all pins for shorts to ground or adjacent pins.
2.4.5.2 Configuration
Ensure that the JA95-060 contains the correct configuration settings. This may be done at the factory, on the
maintenance bench or in the aircraft before the power on checks are performed. Refer to section 2.5.1.
2.4.5.3 Power on Checks.
Power up the aircraft’s systems and confirm normal operation of all functions of the JA95-060. Refer to
Section 3 (Operation) for specific operational details.
a) Confirm radio operation for both receive and transmit. Check yoke or cyclic switch action. Check the radio
selection and inputs. Do not proceed until the radios are functioning correctly.
b) 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. If a transmitter fails to key or
correctly modulate it is often the result of not connecting all required grounds to the radio or external audio
system.
c) Check the Emergency operation.
d) Check that all configurations settings are correct.
When all performance checks are satisfied, complete the necessary regulatory documentation before releasing the
aircraft for service. Refer to Appendix B.
2.5 Adjustments and Configuration using ProCS™
All the JA95-060 internal adjustments are set from the Product Configuration Software ProCS™. Configuration data is
sent to the JA95-060 via the front panel connector (io), using the Configuration Cables and a computer running the
ProCS™ software. For configuration requirements, see section 2.5.1.
