3.3.5.3 Tie/Split Operation
The MODE switch has one further position, which can be used in expanded systems for more complex
audio circuits. If an outboard AA82 has been installed (or some other AEM system with tie line
capability), then this switch will open and close the tie line output to create common or split intercom
circuits with the external system.
In all positions other than SPLIT, the ICS tie line is sent to outside systems for common intercom
operation. This can be used for common communication from front to rear (for example) in a larger
aircraft. When set to the SPLIT position, the AA83-001 cuts the tie line, breaking the two units into
individual intercom circuits with isolated conversations. In this way, many different circuit combinations
can be set up, depending on what device is hooked to the tie line.
With no external unit, the SPLIT position has no function within the AA83-001.
3.3.6 Automatic Fail-safe
In the event of a power failure, automatic fail-safe operation will be activated. This routes the pilot’s
phones, mic audio, and mic PTT directly to the COM radio. Copilot and passengers will have no ICS,
music, or receive functions.
The pilot mic is directly connected to the transceiver mic. Mic bias is provided by the transceiver, not the
AA83-001. The pilot TX keyline is directly connected to the transceiver.
During receive mode, receive audio is directly connected from the audio source to the pilot phones, and
during transmit mode, the sidetone audio is directly connected from the audio source to the pilot phones.
In both cases, copilot and passengers have no ICS, music, sidetone, or receive functions.
In the unlikely event of an AA83-001 circuit failure that results in a communication problem, the automatic
fail-safe mode can be enabled by pulling the AA83-001 circuit breaker.
Note: In Automatic Fail-Safe mode, the receive/sidetone levels may require adjustment at the audio
source.
The pilot should confirm that all aspects of Automatic Fail-Safe operation are working before
accepting the aircraft into service.
