DESCRIPTION
The audio management unit (AMU) ensures the interface between the user
(jack panel and ACP) and the various radio communication and radio naviga-
tion systems. The AMU ensures the following functions :
Transmission
Reception
SELCAL and display of ground crew and Cabin Attendant calls
Flight interphone
Emergency function for the Captain and First Officer stations
It also serves to record communications (FAA recording) and is equipped with
a TEST circuit (BITE). This TEST circuit enables the AMU to be connected to
the CFDIU.
The AMU comprises 3 independent channels associated with the 3 ACPs.
Each channel comprises :
its reception function
its transmission function
its logic processing function
its power supply
The SELCAL, BITE and Flight Interphone sections are connected to the differ-
ent channels.

EMERGENCY FUNCTION
General
The emergency function is used in case of loss of communications on the Cap-
tain or the First Officer channels. This function switches the Captain or First
Officer communications to the 3rd Occupant station. In this case, the Captain
(or the First Officer) uses the ACP located on the overhead panel to make his
microphone or audio selections.
Operation
The AUDIO SWITCHING selector−switch, located on the overhead panel is
used to switch to emergency configuration.Turning this switch, sends a ground
to the Captain (or First Officer) and 3rd Occupant switching relays. The various
microphone inputs, commands and audio outputs are connected to the micro-
phone inputs, commands and audio outputs of the 3rd Occupant.
This switchover is indicated on the upper ECAM display unit.
Message: ”AUDIO 3 XFRD”
NOTE : When the emergency function is activated, the various audio inputs
and outputs at the 3rd Occupant station are no longer connected to their circuit.
Therefore, the 3rd Occupant cannot use his audio integrating circuits.

applies the analog signals of the hand microphone to the OdB amplifier,
then to the INT channel via the transmission line. This removes the micro-

MUTING CIRCUIT
The feedback produced by the loud speaker − microphone acoustic coupling
when the microphones are used (acoustic feedback) is eliminated by a muting
circuit. To achieve this, the muting circuit reduces the gain and/or the frequency
range of the loud speakers. This attenuating circuit is controlled by the PTT
switch of any of the radio communication microphones. The attenuating circuit
is an integral part of the loud speakers.
The logic processing channel receives PTT switch type information. From this
information it activates the muting module. A ground is sent to the loud speaker
units which set the direct muting function into service .

DESCRIPTION
Transmit Function
The audio signals from the microphones are transmitted to the VHF transceiver
through the AMU. The VHF transceiver tuned on the frequency selected on
one RMP, transforms the audio signals into VHF modulated signals. The VHF
signals are fed to the antenna by a coaxial cable. They are then transmitted to
the various stations.
A connection between the VHF transceiver and the SDAC enables to record
the use of the VHF system in transmit mode. The connection is obtained
through the PTT switch.
Receive Function
The antenna picks up the VHF radio−communication signals from the stations.
These signals are transmitted to the transceiver by a coaxial cable. The trans-
ceiver, tuned on the frequency selected on one RMP demodulates the VHF
received signals into audio signals.
The AF signals are transmitted via the AMU, to the audio equipment or SEL-
CAL system.
Tuning
The transceiver has two serial inputs: a port A serial input and a port B serial
input. It can therefore be controlled through either input depending on the sta-
tus of a discrete (port select) delivered by the frequency control system. The
data corresponding to the frequency selected on the RMP is sent to the trans-
ceiver through an ARINC 429 bus. This serial word contains the label, the
source / destination identifier, the frequency data, the status and the parity bit.
The ACARS MU applies a command signal to the VHF3 to take into account its

The ACARS can manage both transmission or reception of data.
The Unit receives various discrete informations for several functions.
Ground−to−air (uplink UL) and air−to−ground (downlink DL) digital messages
are transmitted or received via the VHF3 transceiver.
VHF3 is mainly dedicated to the ACARS Data Link System, but can be used as
a backup for voice communications.
The transmitted information is relayed via the ground stations to a central com-
puter where data is converted into airline messages. SITA
A ground network (SITA for EUROPE, ASIA, AFRICA and SOUTH AMERICA, 136.850

DATA LOADING
General
For correct operation the ACARS MU needs the correct:
Operating Software (SW P/N)
Customer Database (DB P/N)
Aircraft registration (A/C REG)
The aircraft registration is received from the CFDIU in case of a ”Cold Start”.
A Cold Start is activated in case of:

new software load.
activation of test switch on the MU frontface.
During a COLD Start the ACARS MU is completly new initialized (with A/C reg-
istration initialisation) and a self test is activated.
Software Loading
The software have do be loaded via a portable Dataloader direct on the front-
face of the MU (not via the installed Airborne Data Loader).
After operating software or database loading the correct SW P/N or DB P/N
have to be checked on the MCDU (see maintenance pages − part numbers).

Whenever the EMERGENCY call is initiated either from the cockpit or the
cabin, the pink field on the ACP flashes.
The normal call is accompanied by one high/low chime and a EMERGENCY
call by 3 high/low chimes on the attendant loudspeakers.
Passenger Call
A call from a passenger to the cabin attendant results in lighting the steady
blue field on the ACP of that side of the forward, middle or aft section from
where the call was initiated.
Passenger calls are accompained by one high chime on the attendant loud-
speakers.
Note: Simultaneously, on the PSU, the corresponding call pushbutton comes
on and the seat row numbering sign comes on steady if all the passenger
doors are closed or flashing with at least one passenger door open.

SERVICE INTERPHONE
Service Interphone
The service interphone system provides the telephone communication on the
ground between the flight crew and the ground service personnel. Eight service
interphone jacks are installed at different locations on the aircraft. The service
personnel use those to talk to each other, the cockpit and the attendant sta-
tions through handsets.
The service interphone system is made up of the components listed below.
eight interphone jacks,
a service interphone OVRD switch, with an integral indicator light.
The audio lines from the interphone jacks are routed to the amplifiers in both
Cabin Intercommunication Data System (CIDS) directors. The system control
and functional status indication is prepared through discrete lines.
The amplifier of the service interphone system is part of the CIDS director and
is therefore energized when the Cabin Intercommunication Data System
(CIDS) is switched ON. The service interphone system is switched on automa-
tically when the landing gear squat switches are compressed for at least 10 s.
The interphone OVRD switch switches the system on manually and the integral
light of the service interphone system OVRD is then illuminated.

PROGRAMMING MODE
General
The programming mode is one of the main modes. It is divided into:
the zoning (needs no access code),
the cabin programming (needs a 3 digit access code, A/C delivered with
access code 333).
ZONING
Cabin Zones
For CABIN ZONES programming, enter the seatrow number of the end of the
zone. The adjacent zone adapts automatically.
NS Zones
NS ZONES starts is accordance with the programmed CABIN ZONES. Each
cabin zone starts with a NS zone. For programming, enter the seatrow number
at the end of the NS zone. Entering a 0 (zero) deletes the NS zone in the re-
lated cabin zone. If the layout of the CABIN ZONES is changed, the NS zones
layout follows automatically. The number of seatrows of each NS zone re-
mains constant, except the cabin zone is smaller than the NS zone. If the
cabin zone is extended again, the previous NS zone length is realized.
The class divider separates the cabin zones. The CLASS DIVIDER program-
ming is only used for BITE related current sensing reasons:
installing a passive divider (without sign lamps) instead of an active divider
(with sign lamps) or the reverse.
removing an active divider (the layout of the cabin zones are not changed).
For Training Purposes Only
Note:
On A321 the Cabin lighting is independent from the Cabin programming. The
FWD zone controls the area between door 1 and door 2, the AFT zone the
area between door 2 and door 4.
On A321 the Call assigment (PAX call) is independent from the Cabin program-
ming.

DESCRIPTION
The cockpit voice recorder (CVR) is designed to record crew conversations and
communications on a magnetic tape, in flight and on ground, when at least one
engine is running or up to five minutes after the second engine is shut down
irrespective of which engine is shut down first. The system can also operate in
manual mode on the ground. The recorder is a four−track system and all tracks
are recorded simultaneously. The recording tape is of the magnetic loop type
which allows 30 minutes of recording time. When the tape is fully recorded, the
system progressively erases recordings made in the previous 30 minutes and
simultaneously records new information ; thus only information recorded in the
last 30 minutes of operation is retained. The recorded information can be inten-
tionally erased when the aircraft is on the ground with the parking brake control
handle pulled up, locked and electrically powered. Bulk erasure is also possible
during manual operation of the system. Recording of conversations and com-
munications must comply with standards specified by the FAA.
For Training Purposes Only
During this timing function, the relay 8RK remains de−energized and the
CVR is supplied with 115VAC.
After 5 minutes, a ground signal is sent via the relay 10RK to energize the
relay 8RK which cuts off the supply of 115VAC to the CVR.
NOTE : In the cases described in Para. 2 (b) and (c) above, the relay 6RK is
de−energized (A/C on the ground) and the recording function stops.
