JA33-001 Bluetooth® Transceiver
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 JA33-001 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.
2.3.1 Warranty
Products manufactured by JAC are 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 JA33-001 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.

JA33-001 Bluetooth® Transceiver
Installation and Operating Manual
Rev C 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.
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 JA33-001 can be mounted in any attitude and location with adequate space and sufficient clearance for the
connector and wiring harness. It requires no direct cooling.
2.4.4 Post Installation Checks
2.4.4.1 Voltage/Resistance checks.
Do not attach this unit until the following conditions are met:
a) Check P1 pin 1 for +28 Vdc power.
b) Check P1 pin 9 (Power Ground) for continuity to ground (less than 0.5 Ω).
c) Check P1 pin 10 (Chassis Ground) for continuity to ground (less than 0.5 Ω).
d) Check P1 pin 13 (Bluetooth disable) for continuity to ground when switch is closed (less than 0.5 Ω).
e) Check all pins for shorts to ground or adjacent pins.
2.4.4.2 Configuration
Ensure that the JA33-001 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.
2.4.4.3 Power on Checks.
Power up the aircraft’s systems and confirm normal operation of all functions of the JA33-001 (see section 2.5).
a) 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.
b) 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 System Operation
The JA33-001 is a remote mount unit and has no user accessible controls.
2.5.1 Configuration Operation
The JA33-001 accepts commands on the Configuration connector via the configuration cable (JA99-001) and the
configuration tool (ProCS™). Refer to section 2.6 Adjustments and Configuration.
2.5.2 Bluetooth® Audio Receive Operation
The Bluetooth® Audio Input is level controlled and routed to the MUSIC LEFT HI/LO and MUSIC RIGHT HI/LO
outputs.

JA33-001 Bluetooth® Transceiver
Installation and Operating Manual
Rev C Page 6
2.5.3 Bluetooth® Serial Data Operation
The BLUETOOTH SERIAL DATA IN input is level-translated to RS-232 levels and routed to the DATA FROM JA33
output. The DATA TO JA33 input is routed to the BLUETOOTH SERIAL DATA OUT.
2.6 Adjustments and Configuration using ProCS™
All the JA33-001 internal adjustments are set from the Product Configuration Software ProCS™. Configuration data is
sent to the JA33-001 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.
For full information on the configuration process, and for installation of ProCS™ on your computer, refer to the
ProCS™ manual on the Jupiter Avionics website - www.jupiteravionics.com/productsoftware.
2.6.1 Configuration Cabling Requirements
To configure the JA33-001, it is necessary to load the Product Configuration Software ProCS™ onto a Windows-
based computer as described in the ProCS™ manual.
The cables required to configure the JA33-001 are not included with the unit.
Cabling option 1:
Quantity Description JAC Part #
1 USB A to RS232 9-Pin Cable CAB-USB-0002
1 Configuration Cable JA99-001
Cabling option 2:
Quantity Description JAC Part #

2.6.2 ProCS™ Setup
The ProCS™ JA33-001 menu item 'ProCS Setup' provides Setup drawings showing the cabling arrangement
for connecting the JA33-001 to a computer running the ProCS™.
2.6.3 Configurable Settings
A standard unit is shipped from the factory with all internal adjustments configured to the default levels. At installation,
it may be desirable to change some of these settings to suit the local operating environment.
Within ProCS™, the configurable settings are grouped together into the following sections:
2.6.4 JA33-001 Settings
The Settings window is divided into five sections:
•the Aircraft Audio System
