Installation & Operation Instruction Manual
THE CONTENTS OF THE EQUIPMENT CAN BE DAMAGED BY STATIC ELECTRICITY.PROPER HANDLING IS REQUIRED. GENERAL This product and related documentation must be reviewed for familiarization with safety markings and instructions before operation. This instrument was constructed in an ESD (electrostatic discharge) protected environment. This is because most of the semiconductor devices used in this instrument are susceptible to damage by static discharge. Depending on the magnitude of the charge, device substrates can be punctured or destroyed by contact or the mere proximity of a static charge. The results can cause degradation of device performance, early failure, or immediate destruction. These charges are generated in numerous ways such as simple contact, separation of materials, and normal motions of persons working with static sensitive devices. When handling or servicing equipment containing static sensitive devices, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent device damage or destruction. Only personnel who are thoroughly familiar with industry-accepted techniques for handling static sensitive devices should attempt to service circuitry with these devices. In all instances, measures must be taken to prevent static charge build-up on work surfaces and persons handling the devices.
BEFORE APPLYING POWER Verify that the product is set to match the line voltage and that the correct fuses are installed. Servicing instructions are for use by service-trained personnel only. To avoid dangerous electric shock, do not perform any servicing unless qualified to do so. Adjustments described in the manual are performed with power supplied to the instrument while protective covers are removed. Energy available at many points may, if contacted, result in personal injury.

Figure 1. Model FA2100 CVR Cockpit Voice Recorder Refer to Figure 2 for this discussion. The FA2100 CVR is a Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) that simultaneously records four separate channels of cockpit audio, converts the audio to a digital format, and stores the data in a solid state memory. The FA2100 CVR is available in two recording configurations: 30-minute, Part Number 2100–1010–( ), and 120-minute, Part Number 2100–1020–( ). Both configurations record a minimum of 30 minutes of high quality audio from the following four cockpit audio inputs: Channel 1: Channel 2: Channel 3: Channel 4:
Cockpit Spare Audio Input (3rd Crew Member, Public Address System) Co-Pilot’s Audio, Boom, Mask, and Hand-Held Microphone Input Pilot’s Audio, Boom, Mask and Hand-Held Microphone Input Cockpit Area Microphone (CAM) Input
Part Number 2100–1020–( ) records a fifth internal audio stream for a minimum of 120 minutes. This fifth internal audio stream is a standard quality recording of the combination of the Pilot, Co-Pilot, and Public Address or Third Crew Member audio inputs. Part Number 2100–1020–( ) also records a sixth audio stream, a standard quality recording of the Cockpit Area Microphone (CAM) audio input, for a minimum of 120 minutes. (Table 2 illustrates the recording specifications for the cockpit audio input and combined channels.) The audio inputs are conditioned, amplified, and equalized as necessary. The resulting signals are converted to digital pulse code modulation (PCM) data. The FA2100 FA2100 CVR can record Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) Time via the ARINC 429 GMT input and can record rotor speed data via the Rotor Speed input. In ARINC 757 installations, the CVR Fault Line provides continuous status of FA2100 CVR operation. It may be connected to an annunciator or to an aircraft central maintenance computer. At startup, the FA2100 CVR initiates a Built-in-Test (BIT) and then continuously monitors itself for fault conditions. Rev. 07 Jan. 01/03

1.4.2 Control Units and External Preamplifier The Control Unit or External Preamplifier is a required component of a CVR installation and functions as the FA2100 CVR cockpit user interface. Control Units contain a preamplifier printed wiring assembly (PWA) for interfacing the cockpit area microphone with the FA2100 CVR, and provide a means for activating the test function via a green push button and an indicator. Bulk Erasure of the FA2100 CVR storage media is also accomplished by pressing the Control Unit’s red Bulk ERASE push button. All Control Units contain a headset jack for verifying system operation. The Model S151/S161, Model S152/S162, and the Model S251/S261 Control Units are for use in FA2100 CVR ARINC–757 / ED–56A System installations. The Model S151 and Model S251 Control Units house the Microphone Preamplifier PWA, and have front panel TEST and Bulk ERASE switches. The Model S151/S251 Control Units are used with an externally-mounted electret condenser-type microphone (Model S055, see paragraph 1.4.3). The Model S161/S261 Controls Units are used with remote microphone modules with internal amplifiers for reducing RF interference (Model S056, see paragraph 1.4.3). These control units also have front panel TEST and Bulk ERASE switches, TEST indicator lamp and a HEADSET jack. The Model S152/S162 contains a built-in electret condenser-type microphone, Microphone Preamplifier PWA, TEST and Bulk ERASE switches, TEST indicator lamp and a HEADSET jack. The Model S150/S160 Preamplifier is available for FA2100 CVR ED–56A System installations that do not require a Control Unit. However, because ARINC Characteristic 757 does not address microphone preamplifiers, the Model S150/S160 Preamplifier is not considered ARINC–757 compliant. The S150 is designed to be used with the S055 remote microphone. The S160 is used with the S056 remote microphone. The FA2100 CVR is compatible with installations using the Model A151B and A152B Control Units; however, such installations do not comply with ARINC Characteristic 757 or EUROCAE ED–56A.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES AND LIMITATIONS
3.1
Installation Precautions
Approval of the Model FA2100 CVR installation is not authorized by this Installation and Operating Instruction Manual. Acceptance of the installation and use of the FA2100 CVR and its associated components must be sought from the cognizant Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) office or other certifying authority. Approvals may be accomplished on a Field Approval basis if the installation is determined to meet the criteria of the appropriate Post-Installation, Preflight, and Flight tests specified for evaluation in this Installation Manual. (Refer to paragraph 3.3.) Proposed installations should be coordinated with the local jurisdiction of the FAA or other certifying authority before beginning recorder installation. Refer to the following statement which was extracted from FAA TSO–C123a: The conditions and tests required for TSO approval of this article are minimum performance standards. It is the responsibility of those desiring to install this article either on or within a specific type or class of aircraft to determine that the aircraft installation conditions are within the TSO standards. The article may be installed only if further evaluation by the applicant documents an acceptable installation and is approved by the Administrator.
3.2
General Information
Installation of the Recorder, Control Unit, and Remote Microphone Module is per ARINC Characteristic 757 dated December 29, 1993. The Federal Aviation Administration has issued several Advisory Circulars which may be referred to in the approval processes. Advisory Circular 25.1457–1a specifically addresses one acceptable means of compliance with Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) 25.1457 (b), (e), and (f). Installations must conform to the Operating Rules in FAR23.1457, 25.1457, 27.1457, and 29.1457 appropriate to the category of operation under FAR Parts 91, 135, and 121 (Air Carrier). The Bulk ERASE connection is not mandated by the FAA, therefore, it is an installation option. The circuitry required for Bulk ERASE includes the installation of interlock devices on board the aircraft. If Rev. 07 Jan. 01/03
165E1846–00 Page 13
Installation & Operation Instruction Manual
Model FA2100 CVR
the Bulk ERASE feature is installed, at least one interlock is required to prevent accidental erasure of the FA2100 CVR. If the BULK ERASE feature is not desired, pin 55 (ERASE A) of the FA2100 CVR must be grounded to pin 17. Pin 57 remains open.
3.3
Installation Acceptance by Field Approval Method
An applicant for Field Approval of a CVR installation must be properly certified and appropriately rated, qualified, and equipped to accomplish the installation and approve the aircraft for return-to-service. The CVR should be installed in accordance with the instructions and limitations contained in this Installation Manual. Installation drawings and other information, such as structural data showing the method of attachment of the CVR components to the airframe, wiring diagrams, appropriate weight and balance data, and identification of all CVR system components used in the installation should be made available to the Inspector conducting the Field Approval. The CVR Installation Manual containing Operating Instructions and System Description must be made available to the inspector for review and evaluation of the CVR System. The applicant must submit an FAA Form 337, describing the work performed to the airframe to accomplish the installation of the CVR System. The Form 337 must also include a statement that a complete Audio System Interface Test (reference paragraph 5.2) was performed as required. The applicant must indicate that the Cockpit Area Microphone is installed in the recommended locations identified in FAA Advisory Circular 25.1457–1A and in accordance with the instructions contained in this Installation Manual. The applicant should submit all appropriate data and drawings to the inspector before the installation of the Cockpit Voice Recorder. Any deviations to the installation instructions contained in this Installation Manual must be brought to the inspector’s attention and be so identified on the Form 337. Finally, ground and flight tests must be conducted to verify that the Audio System Interface is satisfactory and that “normal” conversation can be discerned from the Cockpit Area Microphone and the individual Pilot, Co-Pilot, and appropriate Third Crew Member or Public Address stations. The CVR System must be verified to be free of any objectionable audio interference and other unwanted noise. Any discrepancies identified during the ground and flight tests must be brought to the inspector’s attention and corrected before the aircraft can be returned to service. If required, Aviation Recorders can reproduce the CVR memory contents onto cassettes for channel separation and evaluation. Contact the Product Support Department to coordinate this process. If you prefer to make your own reproduction, refer to section 6.0.
3.4
Recorder Location
The Model FA2100 CVR should be installed in the aircraft fuselage location provided for this purpose by the airframe manufacturer, as far aft as practicable. The recommended orientation is mounted in an upright position (vertical as viewed from the front).
3.5
Mounting
The Model FA2100 CVR is certified and approved for installation in aircraft environments within the limits of RTCA/DO–160C Curve C. Installation accessories (CVR Mount and Mount Connectors) are described in paragraph 1.4.4. 165E1846–00 Page 14
Rev. 07 Jan. 01/03
Model FA2100 CVR
Installation & Operation Instruction Manual
On aircraft with an existing CVR Vibration Mount such as Part Number 9300-343 or equivalent, or with an existing Heavy Duty CVR Vibration Mount such as Part Number 93–955 or equivalent, it is not necessary to retrofit this mounting tray with a hard-mounted tray. Refer to Figure 4 for CVR Mount outline and dimension illustration.
3.6
Power Requirements
Unless impractical, the FA2100 CVR should be powered from a bus other than the bus used to provide power to the Flight Data Recorder. Each bus will need to meet the supply reliability requirements appropriate for the recorders being powered. The FA2100 CVR operates with input voltages of either 115 Vac at 400 Hz, or 28 Vdc. The FA2100 CVRs draw a maximum of 12 watts ac or 10.5 watts dc. The electrical connector is a 57-pin DPXB connector that is compatible with ARINC 757 (Part Number is 063E1072–00, Cannon Part Number DPXB–36571–59). This connector mates with the connector on the aircraft wiring harness.
3.7
Wiring Connections
The typical electrical interconnect wiring between the recorder and the aircraft is specified in ARINC Characteristic 757. Connections to the FA2100 CVR J1 connector depend on the installation configuration. Refer to Appendix A for appropriate Interwiring Diagram.
3.8
Audio System Interface
The FA2100 CVR is used in an ARINC 757 configuration, with interface to the aircraft provided through a 57-pin DPXB rear panel connector. The range of acceptable audio input levels for the Model FA2100 CVR is from 50 mVrms to 3 Vrms. Nominal audio level input is 1 Vrms. The Model FA2100 CVR provides for four audio inputs which are connected as follows: Channel 1: Channel 2: Channel 3: Channel 4:
Cockpit Spare Audio Input (3rd Crew Member, Public Address System) Co-Pilot’s Audio, Boom, Mask, and Hand-Held Microphone Input Pilot’s Audio, Boom, Mask and Hand-Held Microphone Input Cockpit Area Microphone (CAM) Input
Older aircraft audio systems may require rework to ensure recording of ATC (Air Traffic Control), Intercom, Mask Microphone, and Sidetone audio, independent of mode selection on the audio control panel. In some cases, selection of the loudspeaker function disables side tone output; therefore, transmissions from ATC may not be recorded. Such conditions must be remedied to assure continuous reception of audio from the communications radios. Old Systems: Rework the audio control panel or system to provide a CVR output or install an external summing amplifier. Summing amplifiers can be obtained from Avtec, Baker Electronics, Racal, and others. No changes to the CVR are required. New Systems: Some later-generation audio control panels have a CVR signal output already provided. A summing amplifier may be required to provide recording of the boom microphone. The Installer is responsible for determining the means of interfacing to comply with the regulations. Rev. 07 Jan. 01/03

Installation & Operation Instruction Manual
A.
Engine-driven 115 Vac, 400 Hz Source: If power input is derived directly from an engine-driven 115 Vac, 400-Hz source, (not derived from an AC Inverter), no other external circuitry is necessary. It is assumed that the engine(s) will stop upon crash impact.
B.
Impact Switch: An impact switch interrupts FA2100 CVR power upon exposure to a predetermined level of g-force. Such switches have limitations, but are effective in high g-force accidents. This item is not available through Aviation Recorders. (Refer to Appendix C for manufacturer’s specifications for available models.)
C.
ARINC 757 Shutdown Signal: The FA2100 CVR continuously monitors the ARINC 757 shutdown signal that can be supplied to the recorder via pin 10 of the rear panel connector. If the aircraft can no longer sustain flight under its own power, a ground would be applied to pin 10. If this signal remains “active” for approximately 10 consecutive minutes, recording of data will cease. The recording will resume if the shutdown signal goes inactive or upon activation of the “Push-toTest” function. If the recording is resumed due to execution of the “Push-to-Test,” the recording will again cease within 10 minutes if the shutdown signal is still active. Refer to section 3.11 of ARINC 757 for further information.
4.0
POST-INSTALLATION CHECKOUT
The following tests and results must be documented in the CVR Installation Checklist and submitted with the data package for field approval consideration: 1.
Before applying power to the FA2100 CVR System and associated components, verify that all connections are secure and that a continuity or other interconnect assurance test has been conducted.
2.
Apply power to the system and activate the FA2100 CVR’s self-test. To activate self-test, press and hold the green TEST button for a minimum of five seconds.
3.
For installations containing a Model S151/S161, Model S152/S162, or Model S251/S261 Control Unit, the cockpit-mounted TEST lamp illuminates when the FA2100 CVR has passed the test. (The TEST lamp stays on as long as the TEST button is pressed.) For installations containing a Model A151B or Model A152B Control Unit, the meter needle rises and comes to rest in the ‘GO’ (green) section of the meter scale when the FA2100 CVR has passed the test. (The meter stays in the ‘GO’ section of the meter scale as long as the TEST button is pressed.)
4.
Speak in a normal voice 6-inches away from the Control Unit microphone while listening in the headset. Note that you can hear what you say without any delay or significant distortion. This test ensures that the microphone is operating.
5.
The Portable Interface (PI), Part Number 17TES0043, can be used to individually monitor the four audio channels as they are being recorded by the FA2100 CVR. The PI is connected to the FA2100 CVR via a 10-foot cable that is plugged into the FA2100 CVR’s front panel GSE connector (refer to Figure 6). The PI receives power from the FA2100 CVR. For a description of the PI, descriptions of the menu functions, and PI operation, refer to the Portable Interface Operator’s Manual (Part Number 165E1630–00).

Notes for Figure A–12: 1.
Recommended minimum wire size is #22; however, wire size #24 is electrically permissible except for long-run power leads where #18 wire is recommended (pins 2, 3, 9, & 17). Wire resistance should not exceed 1 ohm for power leads and should not exceed 5 ohms for signal leads. All wiring should be MIL–W–22759 or MIL–C–27500.
2.
Only one power source is to be wired per aircraft. If 115 Vac, 400 Hz is supplied, no connection is to be made to pin 9. If 28 Vdc is supplied, no connection is to be made to pins 2 & 3. Shorting pins 1 & 2 is optional.
3.
Single ground point. Ground connection to be within 1 foot of pin 17, heavy gauge wire.
4.
Jumper in aircraft connector. Without this jumper, the unit will not record or erase previously recorded information, bulk erase will not activate, and test will indicate NO–GO.
5.
Pin 3 is not a DC return and is not grounded in the recorder.
6.
Pins p, q, and r may be jumpered. The control unit does not use these pins.
7.
Twisted shielded cable. Shields to be grounded at the recorder using short connections.
8.
If the power source has battery back-up, a means for terminating recording after a crash should be included in the aircraft wiring. Grounding pin 10 terminates recording within 10 minutes.
9.
BITE status output: ground = no fault, open = fault or CVR not installed.
10.
Audio input .05 Vrms – 3 Vrms maximum. (1Vrms nominal).
11.
Per FAA Action Notice A8300.56 dated Jan. 24, 1990, the wiring to Channels 1 and 3 may be transposed; that is, Channel 1 will be Pilot and Channel 3 will be Third Crew Member or PA System.
12.
In the Model A200S, this option is not available. In the Model FA2100, 2100–1010–( ) and 2100–1020–( ) configurations GMT is inputted as low speed (12.5 kbps) ARINC-429 to pins 25 and 26. In addition, the –02 versions can also accept GMT as an FSK signal combined with the audio input signals on either Channel 1 or Channel 3. In all CVR configurations, the 205E1849–( ) Audio Compressor card provides both 150 (1 sec resolution) and 125 (0.1 min. resolution) for 429 GMT inputs.

Installation & Operation Instruction Manual
Model FA2100 CVR
Notes for Figure A–14: 1.
Recommended minimum wire size is #22; however, wire size #24 is electrically permissible except for long-run power leads where #18 wire is recommended (pins 2, 3, 9, & 17). Wire resistance should not exceed 1 ohm for power leads and should not exceed 5 ohms for signal leads. All wiring should be MIL–W–22759 or MIL–C–27500.
2.
Only one power source is to be wired per aircraft. If 115 Vac, 400 Hz is supplied, no connection is to be made to pin 9. If 28 Vdc is supplied, no connection is to be made to pins 2 & 3. Shorting pins 1 & 2 is optional.
3.
Single ground point. Ground connection to be within 1 foot of pin 17, heavy gauge wire.
4.
Jumper in aircraft connector. Without this jumper, the unit will not record or erase previously recorded information, bulk erase will not activate, and test will indicate NO-GO.
5.
Pin 3 is not a DC return and is not grounded in the recorder.
6.
Twisted shielded cable. Shields to be grounded at the recorder using short connections.
7.
If the power source has battery back-up, a means for terminating recording after a crash should be included in the aircraft wiring. Grounding pin 10 terminates recording within 10 minutes.
8.
BITE status output: Ground = no fault, Open = fault or CVR not installed.
9.
Audio input .05 Vrms – 3 Vrms maximum. (1Vrms nominal).
10.
Per FAA Action Notice A8300.56 dated Jan. 24, 1990, the wiring to Channels 1 and 3 may be transposed; that is, Channel 1 will be Pilot and Channel 3 will be Third Crew Member or PA System.
11.
Test Indicator +/- lines (pins 15 & 16) only provide +12 Vdc, 1ma output to illuminate the Control Unit Test Lamp. (This is not sufficient to light an external Annunciator lamp.)
12.
In the Model A200S, this option is not available. In the Model FA2100, 2100–1010–( ) and 2100–1020–( ) configurations GMT is inputted as low speed (12.5 kbps) ARINC-429 to pins 25 and 26. In addition, the –02 versions can also accept GMT as an FSK signal combined with the audio input signals on either Channel 1 or Channel 3. In all CVR configurations, the 205E1849–( ) Audio Compressor card provides both 150 (1 sec resolution) and 125 (0.1 min. resolution) for 429 GMT inputs.
13.
S055 Panel-mount microphones are equipped with a Cannon TM–RBI–M–0 Twinax receptacle. Mating connectors are Cannon TM–PL–30 or TM–PL2–F–39. Recommended cable is WTWC 2CE2419.2SJ, L–3 P/N: 024–98–00294.

Notes for Figure A–24: 1.
Recommended minimum wire size is #22; however, wire size #24 is electrically permissible except for long-run power leads where #18 wire is recommended (pins 2, 3, 9, & 17). Wire resistance should not exceed 1 ohm for power leads and should not exceed 5 ohms for signal leads. All wiring should be MIL–W–22759 or MIL–C–27500.
2.
Only one power source is to be wired per aircraft. If 115 Vac, 400 Hz is supplied, no connection is to be made to pin 9. If 27.5 Vdc is supplied, no connection is to be made to pin 3. Shorting pins 1 & 2 is optional.
3.
Single ground point. Ground connection to be within 1 foot of pin 17, heavy gauge wire.
4.
Jumper in aircraft connector. Without this jumper, the unit will not record or erase previously recorded information, bulk erase will not activate, and test will indicate NO–GO.
5.
Pin 3 is not a DC return and is not grounded in the recorder.
6.
Wiring shown for fixed attenuation of 18 dB.
7.
Twisted shielded cable. Shields to be grounded at the recorder using short connections.
8.
If the power source has battery back-up, a means for terminating recording after a crash should be included in the aircraft wiring. Grounding pin 10 terminates recording within 10 minutes.
9.
BITE status output: ground = no fault, open = fault or CVR not installed.
10.
Audio input .05 Vrms – 3 Vrms maximum. (1Vrms nominal).
11.
Per FAA Action Notice A8300.56 dated Jan. 24, 1990, the wiring to Channels 1 and 3 may be transposed; that is, Channel 1 will be Pilot and Channel 3 will be Third Crew Member or PA System.
12.
Short pins S & T for piston aircraft only.
13.
In the Model A200S, this option is not available. In the Model FA2100, 2100–1010–( ) and 2100–1020–( ) configurations GMT is inputted as low speed (12.5 kbps) ARINC-429 to pins 25 and 26. In addition, the –02 versions can also accept GMT as an FSK signal combined with the audio input signals on either Channel 1 or Channel 3. In all CVR configurations, the 205E1849–( ) Audio Compressor card provides both 150 (1 sec resolution) and 125 (0.1 min. resolution) for 429 GMT inputs.
14.
A55B Panel-mount microphones are equipped with a Cannon TM–RBI–M–0 Twinax receptacle. Mating connectors are Cannon TM–PL–30 or TM–PL2–F–39. Recommended cable is MIL–W–16878/21.

ULTRASONIC TEST SET MODEL 42A12D

General This Test Set is a battery-powered heterodyne type receiver, tunable in the ultrasonic range of 30 to 45 kHz, producing an output in the audible range. It is intended primarily for use as a hand-held, self-contained Test Set designed to be used in connection with the installation and maintenance of Underwater Acoustic Beacons. By utilizing the self-contained microphone and loudspeaker, the Test Set can perform an operational test on a beacon without removing the beacon from its mount on the aircraft. Several optional modes of operation are possible through the use of external pickup devices fed into the accessory INPUT jack. For example, attachment of any hydrophone of suitable frequency range to the BNC input permits use of the Test Set as a field demonstration and training device with a beacon up to 1000 yards away in the water.
D
Set TUNING control between 35 and 40 kHz. Turn GAIN control clockwise and check for operation by jingling keys or coins near microphone. Short water switch on Beacon. Tune Test Set for best audible signal. Beacon operation will be indicated by a pulsing, audible tone. Determine pulse repetition rate by counting pulses for 10 seconds. If 5 or more are counted, the beacon should operate according to published specifications. The Test Set can detect a beacon signal over an unobstructed distance of approximately 40 feet with the GAIN control wide open. This is an indication of normal operation of both components. The 42A12 Series Test Set is not intended to measure actual output signal level; therefore, does not require periodic calibration.
Battery Life and Replacement With intermittent usage, battery operating life will be in the 30- to 40-hour range, depending upon the type and manufacturer of the battery. Any 9-volt transistor battery may be used, but longer and more reliable service will be obtained by the use of premium batteries such as NEDA Type 1604A. The battery is accessible by removing the screw on the bottom of the case and dropping the chassis free of the case. Snap-type connectors facilitate change of the battery and prevent reversal of polarity.
We reserve the right to change the design and specification of goods supplied, without notice, to incorporate improvements in design and manufacturing techniques.
