• Type: SMA-F coaxial RF jack.
Dust-cap
• Protect J2 with the dust-cap when it is not used.
Grounding Bolt
125B
Make sure that the grounding contact area is sufficient and that the connection
has low resistance and low inductance. Never use a grounding point on paint-
coated surfaces!
The AMU/ARU and the ACU have a grounding bolt at the connector side of the
housing.
• Use this point as grounding contact for low impedance grounding of the
device.
• Use a standard bonding strap from device to the airframe:
o The resistance between the chassis and the reference ground platform
must be ≤ 10 mΩ.
o Bonding strap min. 1.5 mm2.
o Type: Screw thread M4.
o Maximum tightening torque for grounding bolt is 1 Nm (8.85 inch-lbs).

Device Addressing
2.8 Device Addressing

• The device addressing in the wiring must agree with the related system
configuration.
• One device addressed as master (AMU1/ARU1) is necessary in each
installation.
• It is not permitted to have the same address twice in the audio data bus line.
Address Coding - AMU

128B
The address coding for the devices (AMU) are set by connecting the pins P1/74, P1/85 (ground or left
open). This is achieved in the cable-plug connector to AMU.
The same type of device must have different addresses.
Device-ID Bit 0 (Pin 74) Bit 1(Pin 85) System function
AMU1 GND open Master
AMU2 open GND Slave
AMU3 GND GND Slave
not allowed open open not allowed
Address Coding - ARU

129B
The address coding for the devices (ARU) are set by connecting the pins P1/74, P1/85 (ground or left
open). This is achieved in the cable-plug connector to ARU.
Device-ID Bit 0 (Pin 74) Bit 1(Pin 85) System function
ARU1 GND open Master
ARU2 open GND Slave
ARU3 GND GND Slave
not allowed open open not allowed
Address Coding - ACU

130B
The address coding for the devices (ACU) are set by connecting the pins P1/8, P1/9, P1/15, P1/16
(ground or left open). This is achieved in the cable-plug connector to ACU.

Aircraft Wiring
2.9 Aircraft Wiring

The installation of the device(s) depends on the type of aircraft and its equipment
and thus only general information can be given in this section.
The figures mainly show the audio management unit (AMU), but also apply to the
audio remote unit (ARU).
AMU65XX ARU65XX
Electrical Bonding and Grounding

131B
• Make sure that the device is correctly connected to aircraft ground

(structure).
• Make sure that the electrical bonding area is protected in order to prevent
corrosion.
• Make sure that you do not exceed the resistance of 10 mΩ between the
chassis and the reference ground platform.
See also:
"Grounding Bolt" page 74,
"Cockpit Installation (AMU/ACU65XX)" page 63
"Installation in Avionics Compartment (ARU65XX)" page 63
Recommended Cable Length

132B
The recommended cable length between two DVCS6500 components is ≤ 25 m.
Installations with more than one AMU/ARU

133B
By applying the described scheme, safety is increased by using the emergency mode in case of
emergency. If one AMU/ARU fails, COM1 and COM2 are still available in "EMRG" mode.
For installations with more than one AMU:
• AMU1 or ARU1 (master) must be installed as the device for pilot use.
• AMU2 or ARU2 must be installed as the device for copilot use.
• The transceiver VHF1 (COM1) must be connected to the AMU1/ARU1 of the pilot.
• The transceiver VHF2 (COM2) must be connected to the AMU2/ARU2 of the
copilot.
90 DVCS6500 DV17670.3 Issue 07 May 2022

Aircraft Wiring
Dimming
134B
The dimming is controlled through an external voltage and the internal configurable dimming curve.
The dimming curve can be adjusted in the configuration software.
Centralized Dimming Voltage:

The dimming voltage can be applied centrally on AMU/ARU.
In this case, all devices in the DVCS6500 system use this dimming voltage as input.
Decentralized Dimming Voltage:

For decentralized dimming, each CAN bus segment (consisting of one AMU and zero to three ACU or
one ARU and zero to four ACU) can have an individual dimming voltage.
In this case, the dimming voltage must be connected to one device (either AMU, ARU or ACU) of the
bus segment. All devices on the same CAN bus segment will use this dimming voltage as input for
their dimming. Different CAN bus segments can have different dimming voltage inputs.

Post Installation Check
2.14 Post Installation Check

After the device/system is installed completely do a test to make sure the system is functioning. Make
sure that the compliance with the authority required procedures is obeyed.
The description that follows gives guidance for such tests.
Mechanical Installation and Wiring Check

179B
• Make sure that all cables are fixed securely and shields connected properly to signal
ground.
• Examine the movement of controls to make sure that there is no interference.
• Make sure that all screws are tight and the connectors on the rear side of the device are
secured.
Power Supply
180B
• Examine the power supply lines and the correct polarity.

• Make sure that the power supply is in the specified limits, with and without a running
engine.
Power-On Check
181B
• Power-up the aircraft systems and accept normal operation of all functions of the
DVCS6500 components.
Test - Emergency Mode with a Headset

182B
• Cut off the device power supply by pulling the audio circuit breaker.
• Connect a headset to the USER1 jacks.
o Make sure that COM1 transceiver can be heard in the USER1 headset.
o Make sure that COM1 can key and transmit the USER1 microphone audio by verifying
received sidetone or checking reception of the transmission with another radio tuned to
receive this transmission.
• Apply the device power supply again by the audio circuit breaker for normal operation.
• Select EMRG mode with the corresponding panel switch.
o Make sure that COM1 transceiver can be heard in the USER1 headset.
o Make sure that COM1 can key and transmit the USER1 microphone audio by verifying
received sidetone or checking reception of the transmission with another radio tuned to
receive this transmission.
Repeat the above test for all installed AMU65XX/ARU65XX device(s).
Test - Transmit and Receive via Transceivers (COMs)

183B
• Connect a headset to the USER1 headset jacks.

o Make sure that the installed transceivers (COM) can be heard when selected.
o Make sure the assignment of the installed transceivers and transceiver keys for
transmission.
o Make sure the quality of clear audio from the USER1 microphone when selected for
transmission and USER1 PTT key is pushed.
(Because the audio panel can be configured to simulate received sidetone internally,
verifying transmission with a separate radio not in the system is recommended).
DV17670.3 Issue 07 May 2022 DVCS6500 123

Post Installation Check
Test - Audio from RX and Alert Sources

184B
• Connect a headset to the USER1 headset jacks.

o Make sure that you can hear all the installed RX-devices (NAV/ADF/DME). Use test
signal generators/transmitters when necessary.
o Make sure that you can hear all the installed alert source when they send an
alert/message.
Test - Speaker Output (if installed)

185B
• Select the speaker output (e.g. key SPKR).

o Make sure that all messages are heard clearly.
Test - Intercom Operation

186B
• Set all audio panels into intercom operation mode.

o All positions can hear all others.
• From the USER1 headset position:
o Make sure that all the microphone inputs can be heard in the USER1 headset when
speaking into the microphone under test (adjust USER1 ICS volume if necessary).
• Speak into the USER1 microphone:
o Make sure that USER1 microphone audio is heard in the other headsets (adjust ICS
volume if necessary).
NOTICE: If a loud sound is heard during the intercom test, this may be due to acoustic
feedback between the speaker and the microphone. If they cannot be placed
further apart, a lower volume configuration should be used.
In some installations, there is insufficient distance between the speaker and
crew seat position to reliably operate. Try to increase the acoustic separation of
speaker and microphone e.g. increase the distance or change the orientation. In
these conditions, the "Intercom to speaker" volume can be set very low and
audio will still be delivered to the headsets.
Volume alignment is in the most cases required. Do the and can be done by the
"DVCS6500 Manager" configuration software in the so-called "Live mode".
Please see details in the related manual.
Test - Other Configured Functions

187B
• Make sure that all other configured functions are available as described.
For example:
ICS keys, recorder play key, Marker Mute, PA Mode, etc.
Repeat the above test for all installed DVCS6500 device(s).
