SAAB 340B Aircraft Operations Manual 1. GENERAL. ‘The audio integrating system provides the pilots with intercom and audio control. The VHF HF COM and HF COM (if installed) systems, as well as aucio signals from the radio navigation sys- tems, are together with the cockpit and ground crew interconnected with the audio integrating system. The audio integrating system will then provide the pilot with @ corresponding number of audio channels, which can easily be selected and controlled by any of the two Audio Control Panels. The communication and the audio signals are listened to and spoken with by either headsets or cockpit loudspeakers and hand microphones. ‘All communication is recorded by the CVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder). The Press To Transmit signals for the COM's are recorded by the Flight data recorder. 2, MAIN COMPONENTS AND SUBSYSTEMS. 2. 1. Remote Electronic Unit (REU). ‘The Remote Electronic Unit, REU, which forms the central part of the audio integrating system, serves as a distribution and switching center for the systems that are interconnected with the REU. For communication, two pilot jack panels provide con- nections of the headsets to the REU. There are also two loudspeakers and hand microphones connected to the REU for backup. ‘The REU contains two identical circuit boards pow- ered through their associated Audio Control Panel, ACP, by L and R BAT BUS. The circuit boards perform switching and amplification as selected on the ACP of cockpit intercom, HF and VHF COM audio and of au- dio idents for VOR, ILS, MARKER, DME and ADF. Aural waming, GPWS and PA chime signals have fixed audio levels and can be heard regardless of vol- ume setting, Uf one oF both circuit boards should fail, the VHF COM’s can be bypassed the REU and switched di- rectly to the headsets by the NORM/EMER switch on COMMUNICATIONS, AUDIO INTEGRATING Description associated ACP; VHF COM 1 to the LIP ACP and VHF COM2 to the RIP ACP. 2. 2. Audio Control Panel (ACP). ‘Two AGP's are installed in the cockpit, one for each pilot. The ACP's are furnished with slide levers for vol ume contol and a number of pushbuttons and switches that allow various controls of the audio sys- tem. The selected volume levels and switch settings are converted into digital data and sent to the REU for control of tne systems interconnected with the REU. 2. 3, Loudspeakers. ‘Two loudspeakers are installed in the cockpit above each pilot’s head, The volume of the speakers are controlled by associated SPKR slide levers, L speak- er L AGP and R speaker R ACP. Aural warning, GPWS, and PA chime signals have fixed audio levels. and can be heard regardless of volume setting, 2. 4, Pilot jack panel. Two pilot jack panels provide connections of the head- sets to the REU, two kinds of standard headset con- nectors are accepted; PJ-0S5B earphone and PJ-068 microphone or GANNON XLR type connec- tors. With Mod. No, 3144 installed, its also possible to connect headsets with active noise reduction. For oxygen mask use, a separate jack connects the ‘mask microphone to the REU by the BOOM/MASK. switch on essooiated AGP; L mask L ACP and R mask R ACP. PA calls with the mask microphone can be made by pressing the PA button on the jack panel, also see AOM 4/4.1 and 4/4.2. 2. 5. Observers jack panel. ‘The observers jack panel provides connection of the observers headset to the REU. The same type of con- nectors are accepted as for pilot jack panel. A MIC switch provides on/off function of the observers micro phone. There is also a PHONE switch which allows the observer to listen to either the left or the right pilots ‘communication. 4/1.1 PAGE 1 Dec 10/04SAAB 340B Aircraft Operations Manual From afe 180-up a microphone jack is provided fer the observers oxygen mask microphone, see fig. 6. ‘The jack is in parallel with the observers jack pane! and does not require unplugging of the headset micrc- phone. With Mod. No. 2600 installed, a hand microphone is, provided for the observer. This hand microphone prc- vides radio communication for the observer or instruc tor on the jump seat.

The HF 230 communication system provides a two- way voice link in the high frequency range 2.0 {to 22.9999 Miz. A 100 Hz frequency spacing allows selection of any one of 260 000 distinct frequencies. The following connunication modes can be selected: = USB = Upper side band (single side band transmission). = LSB = Lower side band. = AM = Amp! itude modulated. = TEL SUP CAR and TEL PLT CAR = Telephone mode. Half duplex operation on 176 preprogrammed IT) radiotelephone channels. The system consists of a control unit in the cockpit, a transceiver and power amplifier in ‘the avionics rack and an antenne with antenna coupler in the tail section. Audio control and PTT are managed through the Audio Integrating system, all communication is ‘recorded by the CUR (Cockpit Voice Recorder) and PTT by the Flight data recorder via the FOAU (Flight Data Aquisition Unit). 2. MAIN COMPONENTS AND SUBSYSTEMS. 2.1, Control unit. The principal part of the control unit is a microprocessor, the necessary controls and a frequency/chaniel display. Selected by the FREQ/CHAN switch, the two Control knobs provides frequency setting tn 100 Hz spacing or setting of any of the 40 user preprogranmable and 176 preprogranned ITU telephone channels.

Jun 15/89 COLLINS HF ~ 230 COMMUNICATIONS, HF COM Description 2.2, Transceiver and Power amplifier. The transceiver contains the frequency synthe- Sizer and the channel program memory which will automatically be tuned to the selected Frequency/channel. The transceiver also contains the receiver/exciter. The exciter {2 a transmitter which produces a Tow power signal (150 mW) which is applied to the Power amplifier during transmiss'on, and amplified to 2 100 watt peak signal for all modes except 25 watt average signal for aM operation, 2.3, Antenna coupler and Antenna, Because the HF system operates over such a wild Frequency range, it is not possible to match the actual length of the aircraft HF antenna to each of the HF frequencies. The Antenna coupler function is to change its electrical impedance and thereby tuning the antenna to each frequency and making the antenna appear to the transmitted signal as if it were the ideal physical length. During the tuning cycle which is started by a monentary PTT operation, the Antenna coupler requires fron § to 15 séconds, during which @ steady 1000 Hz tone will be heard, Within 1 Second after completion of the tuning cycle, tone will cease, indicating that the HF is ready for transmitting. Honever, should the fintenna coupler fail to tune within 30 seconds the 1000 Hz tone will begin to "beep", indicating a fault has occured. The fault can bé cleared by rechan- nelling and’ initiating a new tuning cycle. 42.1 0 Page 1SAAB 340B Sa Aircraft Operations Manual! COMMUNICATIONS, HF.

There are two identical VHF communication systems independent of each other. The frequency range is 118,000 to 136.975 MHz selectable in 25 kHz steps. With Mod. No. 2938 the 25 kHz space has been modi- fied with three frequencies, each with 8.33 kHz spac- ing. These frequencies are referred to as “channels”, since the displayed frequency is not the actual fre- ‘quency tuned. For example, a frequency with 25 kHz spacing, as 118.000 MHz, can now be selected with 8.39 kHz spacing by, in this case, selecting 118.005 ‘on the control unit. If 118,010 is selected the actual frequency tuned is 118.008 MHz. 118.017 MHz is tuned by selecting 118.016 etc. This method ensures that the equipment will always operate in the proper spacing mode. In practice this will not cause any con- fusion, since the pilot will be asked to tune a channel as if was a frequency. The control unit is also modi- fied with three decimal places to ensure proper fre- ‘quency/channel selection. The control units are located on the center pedestal. ‘The COM 1 antennais mounted on the top of the fuse- lage and the COM 2 antenna is mounted on the bot- tom of the fuselage.
