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 JCP3-070 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.

JCP3-070 Control Panel with RX Volume Controls
Installation and Operating Manual
Rev A Page 5
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.
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 JCP3-070 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 JCP3-070 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 between pins 1and 9 for +13 Vdc power.
b) Check P1 pin 14 for +5 Vdc lights voltage or P1 pin 15 for +28 Vdc lights voltage.
c) Check P1 pin 10 (Chassis ground) for continuity to ground (less than 0.5 Ω).
d) Confirm P1 pin 13 (RESET INPUT) is connected to the Remote Audio Controller P3 pin 13 (RESET
OUTPUT)
e) Check all pins for shorts to ground or adjacent pins.
2.4.5.2 Power on Checks.
Power up the aircraft’s systems and confirm normal operation of all functions of the JCP3-070. Refer to
Section 3 (Operation) for specific operational details.
a) Begin with only the pilot’s headset attached. Confirm correct ICS and 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) If there is a music source in the system, turn it on and check for proper mute operation.
c) 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.
d) Check the ICS operation and Emergency operation.
e) Plug in the co-pilot’s headset. Check for correct ICS operation. Check yoke or cyclic switch functions.
f) Plug in any remaining headsets, and check for correct ICS operation. Note that an incorrect cordset (drop cord)
or improper jack wiring may cause a wide range of problems, from loss of audio to a tone heard in the headset.
g) 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 Legend Text Selection using ProCS™
The configuration program ProCS™can be used to customize the text for eachlegend either at the time of ordering
the unit, oriftext changes arerequired after installation. The JCP3-070 need not be connected toa computer to
select the legend text.
For information on ordering customized legends, refer to How to Order aCustom Unit or the Configuration Chart on
the JAC website and in Appendix A of this manual.
2.5.1 Virtual Front Panel
The Virtual Front Panel window is used to specify the text for each legend.
In the example shown here, the option ‘New…’ has been selected. A pop-up
‘New Label’ window will appear, allowing the user to create a customized
legend – in this case, JAC. The new legend name will now be shown in the
appropriate position on the faceplate representation in the software
program, and will be used in the connector maps and interconnect.
Note: If the name of a front panel switch is changed using this software, the change will be incorporated in
the connector maps and interconnect, to give truly customized installation diagrams.
2.5.2 Connector Maps
This section contains connector maps and interconnects that are automatically generated to show changes to switch
labels that affect the installation of the remote audio controller.
Among the options is ‘- - - -‘ which signifies that
the legend will be left blank, and ‘New…’ which
allows the user to enter a completely new
legend of up to five characters. If a ‘new’
legend has been added, the option ‘Edit …’ is
added to the menu to enable changes to the
newly created label.
Clicking on a customizable legend will open a drop-down
menu listing the options for that label. The currently
selected option will be highlighted. To escape from the
menu, click on the desired option, or right-click in the
window. A 'Print…’ box will appear. Click outside the box to
escape, or select it to print the 'Virtual Front Panel window
showing the current label selections.
