JA95-043 Audio Controller - AMS43 Compatible
SECTION 1 - DESCRIPTION
1.1 System Overview
The JA95-043 Audio Controller - AMS43 Compatible is a centralized audio management system that distributes and
controls all transceiver, receiver and alert audio in an aircraft. It is designed to be pin-for-pin compatible with the
AMS43. It enables the selected transmission of microphone audio to a transceiver and distributes all intercom audio.
The JA95-043 Audio Controller - AMS43 Compatible can be used in a stand-alone configuration or a star
configuration to prevent the loss of the entire system due to the failure of one controller. It provides a passive
emergency mode that directs the primary user (pilot) to the COM1 transceiver, NAV1 receiver and Direct Audio
receiver.
The JA95-043 is set up on a per-installation basis using a configuration cable and a PC running the product
configuration tool (ProCS™) to download system configuration settings via the front panel music / 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 JA95-043 design.
1.2 Features Overview
Many of the JA95-043 input and output levels are adjustable, several audio paths are selectable, and alert audio
analog waveforms can be loaded using the configuration program ProCS™ (Product Configuration Software) to write
configuration commands via the JA99-001 configuration cable to the front panel music / configuration connector. The
audio waveforms are stored in non-volatile devices. The alert audio feature is intended for use as a secondary alerting
system where another device provides the primary annunciation.
The JA95-043 has a front panel TAPE/OFF switch to allow muting of music audio.
The JA95-043 provides intercom functions for up to six users. It supports up to 5 transceivers and a PA position, each
selectable from a rotary switch, and up to 6 receivers (2 on each of 3 toggle switches).
The JA95-043 features individual VOX gating, and supports two Direct Audio inputs to provide audio at a fixed level to
the users.
The JA95-043 has a three channel Alert Generator. Each alert has a separate key input.
The JA95-043 allows transmit access for three crew members (Pilot, Co-pilot, and a passenger through the rear hand
mic position).
A Music / Configuration connector is provided on the faceplate of the JA95-043 for configuration of audio levels and
routing. The port can also be used as a music input and is compatible with most music players.
The JA95-043 has two modes of operation: Normal Mode and Emergency Mode.
