PMA 7000CD
The PMA7000CD combines a version of the PMA7000MS
and PCD7100 to create an extremely versatile audio panel with
a remote-mounted CD/MP3 player. The single-disk player is controlled
by the PMA7000CD, eliminating the pushbuttons on the CD player
itself. This reduces panel space requirements by 25%, not to
mention costs. To make room for the CD controls, the archaic
DME and ADF buttons were dropped (although the audio inputs
are still functional) and replaced with the CD controls.
The split mode, pioneered by PS Engineering, is still available,
but now uses an intuitive push button selection. To make operation
simpler, Com 1 priority is provided to the pilot, in split mode,
with copilot selection of Com 2 or 3. The audio panel has concentric
volume controls, one for intercom and one music volume. The
PMA7000CD retains the dual independent music sources. These
can be paralleled to the PCD7100-R if desired.
The telecommunications distribution in the PMA7000CD has also
been improved by adding a full-duplex interface to aviation-standard
impedance. This allows distribution of AirCell and Globalstar
and Iridium conversations, providing private telephone calls
by the pilot or copilot, or party line calls with the passengers
and/or crew, using Com 3. The unit can easily be configured
as either a Com 3 aviation or Com 3 AirCell interface at installation.
The PMA7000CD now has four un-switched and un-muted inputs.
This adds flexibility when installed with today's advanced warning
systems, like Skywatch or TAWS.
An optional Digital Recorder is available. This is a continuous
loop recorder that records the aircraft radio activity that
is selected to be used for transmissions. Up to 1 minute/16
messages can be stored.
