This instrument was constructed in an ESD (electro-static discharge) protected environ- ment. 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 de- stroyed by contact or mere proximity of a static charge. The results can cause degrada- tion of device performance, early failure, or immediate destruction. These charges are generated in numerous ways such 2s simple contact, separation of materials, and nomal 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 those 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 sur- faces and persons handling the devices. BEFORE APPLYING POWER Verity that the product is set to match the available line voltage and the correct fuse is installe Servicing instructions are for use by service-trained personnel only. To avoid dangerous electric shack, do not perform any servicing unless qualified to do so. Adjustments described in the manual are performed with power supplied to the instru- ‘ment while protective covers are removed. Energy available at many points may, if con- tacted, result in personal injury. 23-70-04 Title Page 3 Nov. 01/88communications AVIATION RECORDERS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL FA2100CVR, THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 23-70-04AVIATION RECORDERS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL FA2100CVR SERVICE BULLETIN LIST SERVICE BULLETIN | DATE | EFFECTIVITY DESCRIPTION FA2100 CVR__ |Sep. 08/98 |P/N: 2100-1010-00 | Modification of Aircraft Interface PWA, FSBO01 PIN: 2100-1020-00 | p/n: 205E1593-00 to prevent erroneous 23-70-04/01 test tone activation due excessive noise environment.

The cockpit voice and area microphone channels are lowpass filtered, sampled, digitized, compressed, and stored in solid-state, crash protected memory. This CMM covers both the 30-minute and 2-hour memory stor- age versions of the FA2100 CVR ‘The FA2100 CVR is designed as maintenance-free recorder. No periodic adjustments are required to maintain this unit. The Model FA2100 CVR is considered an “ON CONDI- TION LRU.” ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS The following list defines the acronyms and abbreviations used throughout this CMM: AC Altemating Current ARINC Aeronautical Radio, Inc.

A Rotor Speed Encoder (RSE) and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) interface is provided. An On-Board Maintenance (OMS) interface is implemented in hard- ware, however software for OMS will be developed as required after functional require- ments are specified. MAINTENANCE PHILOSOPHY ‘The Model FA2100 Solid-State CVR Recorder is considered an “ON CONDITION LRU” and is designed as maintenance-free unit which makes extensive use of surface mount technology (SMT). ‘The repair of printed wiring assemblies (PWAs) containing SMT devices requires speci ized factory equipment, training, and techniques, therefore, such PWAs are not field-re- pairable while the unit is under the warranty period. As a result, during the unit's warranty period, the FA2100's CVR maintenance philosophy is replacement of failed level 2 as- semblies. The field replaceable assemblies identified for the FA2100 CVR are the Aircraft Interface PWA, the Audio Compressor PWA, the Acquisition Processor PWA, and the Crash Survi able Memory Unit (CSMU). ‘When it has been determined that one or more of these assemblies is faulty, the assem- biy(ies) should be removed and returned to L-3 Aviation Recorders for repair or replacement. Attempts to repair any discrete components of these assemblies will void the warranty. 23-70-04 Rev. 02 Page 2 Jun. 01/00AVIATION RECORDERS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL FA2‘00CVR 5.

COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL FA21000VR (1) Stop Recording Command Assertion of the "Stop Recording” command stops the FA2100 CVR recording within ten minutes. Removal of the “Stop Recording” command or “Push-To-Test” resumes the recording. If the recording is resumed due to the “Push-To-Test" function being activated, the recording will again cease within 10 minutes if the “Stop Recording’ signal is stil active. (2) Control Unit Operating Power and Monitor Audio Signals ‘The FA2100 CVR provides the control unit with +18 Vdc operating power, monitor audio to the headset jack, and a TEST indicator signal. Refer to Figure 5, an Audio Output channel for test monitoring provides a combina- tion of four (for 30-minute recorders) or two (for 120-minute recorders) reprocessed ADPCM data channels. This monitored Audio Output signal is accessible at the front panel of the control unit via a 600-ohm headset (an 8-ohm headset in the case of model 2100-1020-93). The monitor audio signal has a level of 2.55 Vrms into 600 ohms with respect to any input Reference Signal applied to one input channel. (Signal level is 350 - 400 mVrms into 8 ohms for model 2100-1020-93.) In the 2100-1010-( ), 30-minute recorders, the monitored Audio Output signal to the control unit is developed by summing together the High Quality Voice for Channels, 1, 2, 3, and the Cockpit Area Microphone (CAM) Channel 4. in the 2100-1020-( ), 120-minute recorders, the Audio Output signal consists of the same High Quality Voice and CAM channels and Test signal as found in the 30-minute recorder, in addi- tion to a Standard Quality Voice and Standard Quality CAM output. This monitored Audio Output is the Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulated (ADPCM) digital data which is reprocessed back to PCM, converted from digital to analog audio prior to being recorded into flash memory. It should not to be confused with the down- loaded digital audio retrieved from memory with the Portable Interface Unit, from the front panel ATE connector. (3) Control Unit Test and Bulk Erase Signals The indicator signal is used to drive the TEST indicator in the Model $151/S161, Model $152, and Model $251 Control Units, The +18 Vdc is a short-circuit protected 30 mA line. All control units provide the FA2100 CVR with three control signals: Erase “A’, Erase and Push-To-Test. The Erase “A” and Erase “C” signals are used to initiate a bulk erasure of the crash protected solid-state memory. The ERASE pushbutton must be pressed for more than two seconds and then released to initiate the bulk erase function, Landing gear and brake interlocks are provided in the aircraft wiring to prevent memory erasures during flight conditions. 23-70-04 Description and Operation Rev. 02 Page 6 Jun, 01/00AVIATION RECORDERS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL FA21000VR aatoo ove PIN FA2100-1010-XX, 30-Minute Audio Monitor Scheme a Sie). ena) “ea Tana —]_ 5 swe a ase” e001 "0 coopr aces wic |.

The function will be activated if Voice Erase “A” is connected to Voice Erase °C” for 2 seconds or more then grounded. NOT! The Model 2100-1020-93 is only used with the 93A152-16 Control Unit due to the 8-ohm audio output signal requirement. The 93A152-16 Control Unit does not include a Bulk Erase function. ‘The Push-To-Test signal is activated when the TEST pushbutton on the associated control unit is pressed. During this time, a 620 Hz to 660 Hz signal is generated within the FA2100 which is used to test the circuitry of all the audio channels. In a successful test, the FA2100 Recorder provides a TEST INDICATOR signal which lights the green TEST indicator mounted on the front panel of the $151/S161, S152, and $251 Control Units. Voice Data Intert: ars ‘The FA2100 CVR is used in an ARINC 557/757 configuration, with interface to the air- craft provided through a 57-pin DPXB rear panel connector. The Reference Signal, as required by ED-56A, is defined as an input signal with a frequency of 1 kHz and a level of 3 Vims for Channels 1, 2, and 3, and 2 Vrms for Channel 4. ‘The Mode! FA2100 CVR provides for four audio inputs which are connected as fol- lows: Channel 1 - Cockpit Spare Audio Input (3rd crew member - CAA) Channel 2 ~ Co-Pilot's Audio, Boom, Mask, and Hand-Held Microphone Input Channel 3 ~ Pilot's Audio, Boom, Mask and Hand-Held Microphone Input Channel 4 ~ Cockpit Area Microphone (CAM) Input ‘These audio signals are applied through the rear connector to the Aircraft Interface PWA, then are digitally converted into 16-Bit words, compressed and stored in memory. Refer to Paragraph 5 for detailed pin-outs of the rear interface connector. In the -02 FSK version of the FA2100 CVR, CH 1 or CH 3 may have an FSK GMT input applied along with the standard audio signal. 23-70-04 Description and Operation Rev. 02 Page 8 Jun. 01/00AVIATION RECORDERS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL FA2100CVR Data Recording Storage Refer to Figure 6 for a diagram of the FA2100 CVR recording schemes used in the 30-minute and 120-minute recorders and Table 1 for a breakdown of the recording durations for each of the High Quality and Standard Quality combined channels. The audio received from the cockpit area microphone (CAM) is applied to the CAM input channel (CH4). The recorded CAM audio has a bandwidth of 150 to 6000 Hertz, The other three channels receive audio from the pilot audio selectors and have a bandwidth of 150 to 3500 Hertz. The spare audio input applied to Channel 1 may be from a third crew member or PA system, The four audio input signals are applied to separate input circuits located on the Au- dio Compressor PWA for amplification and shaping with equalization performed as necessary. These four streams are then converted to a digital pulse code modula- tion (PCM) 16-Bit word format on the Audio Compressor PWA and then routed to the Acquisition Processor PWA. The PCM data for each channel is then encoded for storage using an adaptive differential pulse code modulation (ADPCM) processor. These four streams are recorded as high quality (HQ) audio for a 30-minute dura- tion. The rate of the data stream resorded varies with the type of audio as follows: © 24 kbps for CH 1, 2, and 3 HAV © 48 kbps for CH 4 HOC In the 120-minute FA2100 CVR, thtee of these audio streams (pilot, co-pilot, and spare CH1, 2, and 3) are combined to provide a fifth audio stream, designated Stan- dard Quality Voice (SQV), to be recorded in standard quality audio. In the 120-min- tute FA2100 CVR version, a sixth audio stream is formed using using the Standard Quality Cockpit Area Microphone (SQC) input. All six digital-encoded ADPCM sig- nals are applied to the CSMU for storage in the solid-state flash memory. In this case, the rate of the data stream recorded varies with the type of audio as follows: © 24 kbps for CH 1, 2, and 3 HOV © 48 kbps for CH 4 HOC (CAM) © 16 kbps for SQV and SQC (CAM) In both versions of the Model FA2100 CVR, the four primary audio streams are al- ways recorded as high quality audic (HQV) for 30 minutes.

In addition to the voice channel inputs, in the 2100-1010-( ) and 2100-1020-( ) configurations, GMT Is applied as low speed (12.5 kbps) ARING-429 to pins 25 and 26; with the exception of 2100-1020-02 configurations (FSK option). In the -02 version, GMT is input as an FSK signal combined with the audio input on either Channel 1 or Channel 3. Rotor Speed input signals are applied to the rear connector pins 48 and 49 as an analog frequency varying between 76000 Hz. The GMT/RSE input signals are then digitally converted and compressed in the Acquisition Processor PWA. This data is then stored in a memory pattition separate from the Audio data. In the case of the 30-minute Model FA2100 CVA, p/n 2100-1010-(_), 30 minutes of GMT/RSE data is stored. In the case of the 120-minute Model FA2100 CVR, p/n 2100-1020-( ), a full 120 minutes of GMT/RSE data is stored, 23-70-04 Description and Operation Rev. 01 Page 11 Feb. 01/00
