(1) Transceiver Switches
These are five white two-position toggle switches. When a switch is set to
the ‘up’ position, audio from the associated transceiver is routed to the
phones.
The legends (above the switches) are interchangeable to allow
customization. (Default – COM1, COM2, AUX, FM1, FM2, PA.)
(2) Receiver Switches
When a switch is set to the ‘up’ or ‘down’ position audio from the selected
receiver is routed to the phones.
The legends (three above and three below the switches) are
interchangeable to allow customization. (Default – NAV1, NAV2, ADF1,
ADF2, MKR, DME.)
These are three blue
three-position centre-off
toggle switches.

JA95-001 Audio Controller
Operating Manual
Page 3
This is a green two-position
centre-off momentary toggle switch.
When in the default XMIT/ICS
configuration, this switch acts as the
pilot’s ‘Press-to-talk’ (PTT) button.
(3) Receive Volume Control
(4) Mode Switch
The switch is lockable to prevent accidental changing of the mode. The
switch must be lifted to release the lock.
For full information on Normal and Emergency Mode operation, see
section 3 and section 4 below.
(5) Multi-function (Transmit/ICS) Selection Switch
The unit will transmit on the selected transceiver when the switch is held
in the ‘up’ position, and when held in the ‘down’ position, it will transmit on
the intercom.
See sections 3.4 and 3.7 below for Multi-function switch functionality.
This is a rotary knob that adjusts the
phones volume of the receive audio
from minimum (CCW) to maximum
(CW). Individual radio volume
controls should be set to a nominal
level, and then adjusted for changing
flight conditions using this control.
This is a red two-position locking toggle
switch. When set to the ‘up’ position, the
unit is Emergency mode, and when set to
the ‘down’ position, the unit is in Normal
mode. The legends are interchangeable to
allow customization. (Default – EMER,
NORM.)
Note: At installation, this switch may be configured to operate in
default or alternative mode. Check with your installing agency for
confirmation of the operation of this switch. The legends are
interchangeable to allow customization.

CAUTION: If an unapproved connector or cable is used, damage
to the unit or to any attached device may occur. If in doubt, contact
JAC for a list of approved cables, music sources and devices.
(6) Music/Configuration Connector (♫/io)
(7) Transmit Annunciator - TX
(8) Transmit Selector
Each of the transmit selector positions is linked by a white line to the
corresponding transmit select annunciator, transceiver switch and legend.
This is a music input that is
compatible with most music
players. It accepts a 3 pole 3.5mm
stereo plug with a slim diameter
connector housing.
(This connector port is also used
during installation to change
configuration settings.)
This is a dead-front annunciator that will
illuminate when the unit is transmitting.
The default legend is ‘TX’, but it is
interchangeable to allow customization.
This is a rotary six-
position control
that is used to
select
transmission via
one of the five
transceivers or the
public address
system (PA).
The appropriate annunciator will light green
to show which transceiver is selected for
transmit - ‘PA’ in this example.

JA95-001 Audio Controller
Operating Manual
Page 5
This is a customizable dead-front
annunciator activated by an external
switch.
When enabled, it will illuminate when
a ground is applied to the CALL input
from another user’s audio controller
or by a remote ‘call’ button within the
aircraft.
This is a rotary knob used to select the
VOX threshold of the unit. See below.
When rotated fully clockwise (cw), the
threshold will be at maximum and VOX
ICS operation is disabled and ICS PTT
input is required for ICS operation.
When rotated fully counterclockwise
(ccw), the threshold will be at minimum
(almost live).
This is a customizable legend to
mark the PA position for the
transmit selector.
The interchangeability allows an
appropriate name for this legend
to be selected.
Note: Check with your installing agency for confirmation of the
operation of this annunciator. The legends are interchangeable
to allow customization.
(9) PA Legend
(10)VOX Threshold Control
To adjust the unit for VOX (Voice activated) use, the VOX control should
be set fully ccw and then slowly rotated cw to the point where no intercom
audio can be heard. The VOX control should be adjusted for proper
operation according to the ambient noise.
(11)CALL Annunciator

Note: Numbers in parentheses refer to the front panel
controls shown in section 3.2.
(12)ICS Volume Control
3 Normal Operation Mode
The JA95-001 is in Normal mode when the front panel EMER / NORM
switch (4) is in the NORM position and suitable electrical power is
supplied to the unit.
3.1 Panel Lighting
The legends and annunciators will be illuminated (when appropriate) and
dim through the aircraft lighting buss.
3.2 Receiving
When the JA95-001 receives an incoming transmission on a transceiver
or receiver that has been selected, either by the white transceiver receive
switches (1) or the transmit selector (8), the incoming audio will be
directed to the user’s phones.
The audio level of any incoming transmission will depend upon the level
selected by the front panel RX volume control (3). It will be muted if the
unit is transmitting and muting of receive audio during transmit is enabled.
3.3 Transmitting (Transmit Operation)
To select a transceiver, rotate the Transmit Select Switch until it aligns
with the line leading to the Transceiver Select switch legend (1) - default
legends COM 1, COM 2, AUX, FM 1, FM 2, or PA. The corresponding
Transmit Select annunciator will illuminate.
When the user’s TX PTT is activated, the unit will transmit on the selected
transceiver, and the dead front Transmit Annunciator (7) will illuminate
‘TX’. All MIC and sidetone audio will be routed to the user’s phones, and
any music will be muted for the duration of the transmission.
This is a rotary control used to
adjust the volume of all ICS audio
to suit the ambient conditions.
Rotating the control completely
cw gives rated level, and
completely ccw reduces the
output to minimum level.

Note: At installation, this switch may be configured to operate
in default or alternative mode. Check with your installing agency
for confirmation of the operation of this switch.
Note: If the FM2 transceiver has been configured as duplex,
it can be used with a cellphone or sat-phone. Check your
configuration with the installing agency.
3.4 FM2 PTT Operation
If the unit has been configured for cellphone or sat-phone use and FM2 has
been selected for transmit, momentarily activating the TX PTT (either from
the faceplate or by some other method) will keep the FM2 transmitting. A
second momentary activation of the TX PTT, or moving the Transmit
Selector away from FM2, will stop the FM 2 from transmitting.
3.5 VOX Operation
A user’s MIC audio is routed to the ICS when the MIC audio level exceeds
the VOX threshold.
A user’s MIC audio is disconnected from the ICS when the MIC audio
level falls below the VOX threshold for 0.5 to 2 seconds.
3.6 ICS Operation
ICS audio is the sum of all the MIC audio from users with ICS KEY active
or with MIC audio level exceeding the VOX Threshold level.
The ICS audio also includes the audio input on the ICS TIE from other
audio controllers.
The ICS audio is output on the phones of each user. The ICS audio is
muted during transmit.
The ICS audio level at the phones is controlled by the ICS volume control
(12).
3.7 Multi-Function (XMIT / ICS) Switch Operation
Default Operation
When in the default XMIT/ICS configuration, this switch acts as the pilot’s
‘Press-to-talk (PTT) button. The unit will transmit on the selected
transceiver when the switch is set to the ‘up’ position, and when set to the
‘down’ position, it will transmit on the intercom.
Alternative Operation
This switch may be configured to provide a ground signal to operate other
equipment.

3.8 Music Operation
Music to the headphones will be muted by incoming audio (ICS, Receive,
Direct or Alert Audio) or if the unit is transmitting. When the incoming
audio has ended, the music will gradually return to the previous level.
4 Emergency Operation Mode
Emergency mode can be selected by the Mode switch on the front panel,
or entered automatically if power to the unit is lost.
4.1 Auto Emergency Mode
If the unit is in emergency mode because power has been lost to the unit,
the sum of the COM 1 transceiver, NAV 1 receive, and DIRECT AUDIO
will be routed to the pilot’s phones and the CVR. The pilot's microphone
and transmit key are connected to the COM 1 transceiver. No other
function in the JA95 will operate when power is lost. All indicator LEDs,
legends and annunciators will be dark.
4.2 Selected Emergency Mode
If the unit is in emergency mode because the EMER / NORM switch is in
the EMER position and sufficient power is applied to the JA95, the sum of
the COM 1 receive, NAV 1 receive, DIRECT AUDIO and Alert audio will
be routed to the pilot’s phones and the CVR. The pilot's microphone and
transmit key are connected to the COM 1 transceiver. The pilot is
disconnected from the ICS. The COM 1 transceiver and NAV 1 receiver
and DIRECT AUDIO are not available to the other users. All other
functions of the JA95 will operate. The LEDs, legends and annunciators
will retain normal functionality
