THE CONTENTS OF THE

RECORDER CAN BE
DAMAGED BY
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE.
PROPER HANDLING MUST BE USED!
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 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 those who are thoroughly familiar with industry accepted techniques for handling
static sensitive devices should attempt to service circuitry within these devices.
In all instances, measures must be taken to prevent static charge buildup on work
surfaces and persons handling the devices.
BEFORE APPLYING POWER

Verify that the product is set to match the available line voltage and the correct
fuse is installed.
Servicing instructions are for use by servicetrained 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.

SSCVR001 09/01/93 S100008000 Software Product Improvement Modification

Commencing with Unit Serial Number 254, manufac-
tured 7/93, all newly manufactured A100S SSCVR
units will have this modification.
This modification is a product improvement, which
requires a software revision to IC chip U5 located on
the Store Processor PWA. It expands the SSCVR
BITE circuitry from READAFTERWRITE to in-
clude a Continuous Test of all bits within the solid
state memory. Failure of this Continuous Test would
be indicated upon execution of the next Preflight
Functional Check. This modification is optional.
Note: This modification is identified by marking, using
yellow paint, R1 on the unit Program Revision Plate.
SSCVR002 11/15/93 S100008000 Alternate Supplier For

Underwater Locator Beacons (ULDs)
L3 approved Datasonics, Inc. as an alternate supplier
of ULDs. Both Dukane and Datasonics ULDs are be-
ing installed on newly manufactured A100S recorders.
Both ULD types are assigned the same L3 Part Num-
ber, 266E030500. Also, both ULD types are
equipped with a Lithium battery with an expected ser-
vice life of 6years.
SSCVR003 02/23/94 S100008000 Introduction Of The 8Megabit Flash Crash

Survivable Store Unit (FCSSU) and The New Type
Store Processor PWA
The new 8Megabit FCSSU (P/N 253E066000) and
Store Processor PWA (P/N 205E102700) have been
phased into the production of the A100S SSCVR be-
ginning with unit serial number 311, manufactured
12/93. It is not mandatory for an older SSCVR with a
2Megabit FCSSU (P/N 253E0348 03) and Store
Processor PWA (P/N 205E060100) to incorporate
this modification. However, should a failure occur in
the older FCSSU, it must be replaced with the 8Me-
gabit FCSSU along with its associated Store Proces-
sor PWA.

INTRODUCTION
1. GENERAL
This Component Maintenance Manual (CMM) documents the operation of and suggested mainte-
nance for the Model A100S SolidState Cockpit Voice Recorder (SSCVR), hereinafter referred to as
the A100S. This recorder is designed as a maintenance free recorder. There are no periodic adjust-
ments required to maintain this unit. Also covered within this CMM, are the Model A151, A151B,
A152 and A152B Control Units and the Model A55B series of condenser microphones. It should be
noted that the Model A100S has been designed to take full advantage of all existing peripheral de-
vices originally developed for use with the Model A100/A100A series of tapebased Cockpit Voice
Recorders. The Model A100S is considered an ON CONDITION LRU.
The Model A151B and A152B Control Units are identical to the earlier Model A151 and A152 Control
Units, respectively, except that the B models use a Microphone Preamplifier PWA designed to op-
erate with a condenser microphone. Also note that the Model A152 and A152B Control Units are
equipped with a builtin microphone whereas the Model A151 and A151B are used with an external-
ly mounted microphone. The Model A55B Remote Microphone Modules are condenser type micro-
phones which operate using a low voltage received from its associated B model control unit.
Information about the Model A151, A151B, A152 and A152B Control Units, the Model A150 Pream-
plifier, and the Model A55B series of condenser microphones is contained in the Models A100,
A100A CMM, ATA No. 237001 and in the Model A100S CMM, ATA No. 237002.
All units produced under the above model designations have been assigned configuration part num-
bers. The listings below can be used to determine the assigned configuration part number for a par-
ticular model control unit and microphone.

MODEL A100S
4. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The Model A100S is fully compatible with ARINC 557. As such, it is a direct replacement for all pre-
vious tapebased cockpit voice recorders.
A. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Model A100S Cockpit Voice Recorder System is composed of the recorder and an external-
ly mounted control unit utilizing either a builtin or externally mounted microphone (refer to
Figure 3). Interconnection between the recorder and the control unit is accomplished using air-
craft wiring. The A100S consists of the following four main assemblies: Aircraft Interface PWA,
Audio Processor PWA, Store Processor PWA and the crash protected solidstate memory as-
sembly which is designated as the Flash Crash Survivable Store Unit (FCSSU). The A100S is
connected to aircraft wiring via a 57pin, DPX style input connector and its Aircraft Interface
PWA. The Aircraft Interface PWA provides for all input and output signals.
The Model A100S provides for four microphone inputs which are connected as follows: the cock-
pit spare microphone input to Channel 1, the copilot microphone input to Channel 2, the pilot
microphone input to Channel 3, and the area microphone input to Channel 4. The audio from
the area microphone may originate at the control unit (builtin) or at a remote microphone; this
audio has a bandwidth of 150 to 5000 Hertz. The other three channels are supplied audio from
the pilot audio selectors and have a bandwidth of 150 to 3500 Hertz. The spare audio input ap-
plied to Channel 1 may be from a third crew member or from a PA system.
The Audio Processor PWA receives the audio signals from the four channels and converts each
to a digital byte oriented format for storage. The digital signals are applied to the Store Proces-
sor PWA for encoding and storage in the FCSSU.
Incorporated into the A100S is a record jumper. During bench test of the A100S, the jumper
enables the record function of the recorder to be turned off, thereby allowing playback of the re-
corded data. Once playback is initiated, the unit immediately begins replaying the recorded
data.
The A100S provides the control unit with +18 Vdc operating power, monitor audio, and an indi-
cator signal. The monitor audio is accessible at the front panel of both the control unit and the
A100S via a 600ohm phone plug. The indicator signal is used to drive the test meter in the
DO160B control unit, Model A151 or Model A152. The +18 Vdc is a shortcircuit protected 100
ma line.
All control units (Model A151, A151B, A152 or A152B) provide the A100S with three control sig-
nals: Erase A, Erase C, and Push_To_Test. The Erase A and Erase C signals are used to initi-
ate a bulk erasure of the crash protected solidstate memory. The bulk erase button must be
pressed for more than two seconds, and then released, to initiate the bulk erase function. Addi-
tionally, landing gear and brake interlocks are provided in the aircraft wiring to prevent memory
erasures during flight conditions.
The Push_To_Test signal is activated as long as the TEST button on the control unit is
pressed. During this time, a 640 Hz +20 Hz signal is generated which is used to test the
throughput circuitry of all the audio channels. In turn, the A100S recorder provides an INDICA-
TOR signal which drives the GO / NO GO display on the control unit.

MODEL A100S
B. DATA MONITORING
While mounted in the aircraft, previously recorded data cannot be monitored from the Model
A100S. This is a security feature implemented to protect the rights of pilots and other flight crew
members.
The combined audio of the four channels can be monitored during recording using headsets
plugged into the 1/4inch, 600ohm phone jack mounted on the front panel of either the A100S
or its control unit. Also, when being tested at the standard cockpit test bench set up, combined
playback data can be monitored using the speaker mounted within the Cockpit Voice Recorder
System Test Panel, P/N 9300A860.
C. STORAGE CAPACITY
The Model A100S storage media is designated as the Flash Crash Survivable Store Unit
(FCSSU). The FCSSU contains CMOS Flash memory with enough storage capacity to allow a
minimum of thirty minutes of continuous recording.
D. DATA RETRIEVAL
The recorder must be removed from the aircraft and the dust cover removed to retrieve data
from the recorder. With the dust cover removed, the Audio Monitor Adapter (AMA/1), P/N 17
TES0200, is plugged into the edge mounted Playback/Monitor connector (J6) on the Audio Pro-
cessor PWA. This connection allows a user to monitor individual channel data or combined
channel data. The fidelity of the A100S audio data output at the AMA/1 is such that only an ex-
ternal amplifier and speaker are required to allow quality analysis of the recorded data.
E. DATA REPRODUCTION
A standard cassette or reeltoreel tape recorder can be used to produce a high fidelity copy of
the Model A100S recorded data. To do so, the inputs of the copy recorder are connected to any
one of the 1/4inch monophone jacks located on the Audio Monitor Adapter (AMA/1) front panel.
Depending upon the type recorder used for copying, the A100S data can be copied one channel
at a time, or all individual channels can be copied simultaneously.
F. BUILTINTESTEQUIPMENT (BITE)
BuiltInTestEquipment (BITE) capability is provided to establish and monitor the mission fit-
ness of the hardware. The builtintest feature has been designed to perform a continuous test
of all bits within the solidstate memory located in the Flash Crash Survivable Store Unit
(FCSSU). The test tone used for unit verification is developed on the Audio Processor PWA and
applied to each channel individually where it is processed, stored in memory, read from memory,
and checked for expected frequency and amplitude.
The builtintest is initiated by pressing and holding the TEST pushbutton located on the front
panel of the Model A151, A151B, A152 and the A152B Control Units. The GO /NO GO meter is
also located on the front panel of these control units.
G. FLASH CRASH SURVIVABLE STORE UNIT

The Flash Crash Survivable Store Unit (FCSSU) is the memory storage assembly of the Model
A100S. Electrical interface to the FCSSU is made by the Store Processor via a single connector
with 50 contacts. The Store Processor PWA is mounted to the FCSSU assembly.
Dimensions of the FCSSU are: 7.37 x 7.28 x 4.73. FCSSU P/N 253E034803, 253E066000,
253E099200 and 253E129000 weigh approximately 17 pounds. FCSSU P/N 253E129300
weighs approximately 13 pounds.

H. CRASH AND FIRE PROTECTION

The Flash Crash Survivable Store Unit (FCSSU) is triple protected by an inner casing of thermal
insulation, the inner steel casing, and the outer stainless steel casing. The inner and outer
cases for the light weight model FCSSU, P/N 253E129300, are comprised of titanium in place
of steel. This construction enables the Model A100S to meet the rigorous crash protection re-
quirements given in specification ED55.
5. SUPPORT EQUIPMENT
The Model A100S has been designed to take advantage of all existing cockpit voice recorder sup-
port equipment. Additionally, the Audio Monitor Adapter (AMA/1), P/N 17TES0200, has been spe-
cially designed for the A100S to allow connection to any one of the four audio output channels or to
the combined audio output which is the sum of the four channels.
A. MODEL A860 COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER SYSTEM TEST PANEL

The operation of the A100S is verified using the standard test panel originally designed for the
test and calibration of the Model A100 series of tapebased cockpit voice recorders. Using the
standard L3 Cockpit Voice Recorder System Test Panel, P/N 9300A860 (refer to Figure 4), audio
signals can be applied to individual channels for testing and analysis.
Additionally, the A860 Cockpit Voice Recorder System Test Panel can be used: 1) to activate the
builtintest utility of the Model A100S, 2) to initiate the Bulk Erase feature of the recorder, and
3) to replay previously recorded audio.

its dust cover removed to allow access to the Audio Processor PWA. The AMA/1 cable connec-
tor is mated to the Audio Processor PWA Playback/Monitor connector (J6) which is located at
the boards outer edge just below center. This connection routes the four audio channels and
the Combined Audio channel (summation of Channels 1 through 4) to the AMA/1 for output indi-
vidually as follows:
From SSCVR To AMA/1 Signal Amplitude (see note)

Channel 3 (signal AUDIO_3) PILOT jack 1 Vrms + 10%
Channel 2 (signal AUDIO_2) COPILOT jack 1 Vrms + 10%
Channel 1 (signal AUDIO_1) SPARE jack 1 Vrms + 10%
Channel 4 (signal AUDIO_4) AREA jack 1 Vrms + 10%
Combined Audio Channel COMBINED jack 1.45 Vrms + 10%
(signal COMBINED_AUDIO)
Note: the signal amplitudes given are based on the A100S applied input of 3 Vrms for Channels
1, 2 and 3 and 2 Vrms for Channel 4. As a general rule, the signal amplitude available at the
AMA/1 SPARE (Channel 1), COPILOT (Channel 2 ) and PILOT (Channel 3) jacks is 33% of the
A100S applied input whereas the signal amplitude available at the AREA jack (Channel 4) is
50% of the unit applied input. The signal amplitude available at the AMA/1 COMBINED jack is
approximately 1.45 times the highest individual channel amplitude present at the AMA/1. Also,
the signal amplitude measured at the AMA/1 COMBINED jack should be identical to that mea-
sured at the Headset jack on both the Model A100S front panel or its associated Control Unit
front panel.

Because of the enhanced fidelity of the Model A100S, the AMA/1 along with an external amplifi-
er and speaker are the only instruments required to provide quality analysis of the recorded au-
dio. Individual channels are accessed at their respective jacks on the AMA/1 using a cable fitted
with a 1/4inch monophone jack at one end and an appropriate type connector for the device to
be connected at the other. Copies of the A100S recorded audio may be made by connecting the
cable to the input of a standard cassette recorder or similar device.
After the desired connections have been made and before applying power to the A100S, verify
that the CVR System Test Panel RECORD BIAS/OFF toggle switch is set to position OFF
(down) to prevent writing over existing data. To play back the full 30 minutes of recorded audio,
simply apply power to the A100S. To begin replaying the data recorded since the recorder was
last poweredup, press the ALL TEST pushbutton on the CVR System Test Panel.
6. PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT
The Model A100S has been designed to take full advantage of all existing peripheral devices origi-
nally developed for use with the Model A100/A100A series of tapebased Cockpit Voice Recorders.
In addition, the Model A100S has also been designed to accommodate the Model A151B and A152B
Control Units which are DO160B compliant. Each control unit is a standard ATR, panelmounted
unit that provides remote control of the Model A100S. These units include a Microphone Preamplifi-
er PWA designed for use solely with condenser type microphones (Model A55B microphones). Ex-
cept for the Microphone Preamplifier PWA designed to operate with a condenser microphone, the
Model A151B and A152B Control Units are identical to the earlier Model A151 and A152 Control
Units, respectively, which use a dynamic Microphone Preamplifier PWA and one of the Model A55
series of dynamic microphones.
The main external difference to be noted between control unit models (see Figure 7) is that the Mod-
el A152 and A152B Control Units have a builtin microphone whereas the Model A151 and A151B
units connect to an externally mounted microphone.

MODEL A100S
A. CONTROL UNIT, MODEL A152B
The Model A152B Control Unit, P/N 93A152XX (refer to Figure 7), contains the area micro-
phone (condenser), TEST switch, bulk ERASE switch, test meter, 600ohm headset jack, and a
Microphone Preamplifier PWA, P/N 93A26601 (refer to Appendix A for schematic). The TEST
switch and indicating test meter provide the capability to test the four channels and the headset
jack provides a means to monitor the playback of all four recorded channels. The bulk ERASE
switch is used to erase the stored audio data after a routine flight, and will only work when the
landing gear is down, the weight of the plane is resting on the landing gear, and the parking
brake is engaged. To prevent accidental erasures, a timedelay circuit makes it necessary to
hold the switch down for two seconds to start the erasure process.
The Control Unit utilizes aircraft wiring for connection to the recorder unit. As previously stated,
the Model A152B Control Unit, P/N 93A152XX, is easily identified by its builtin condenser mi-
crophone. The last two digits of the control unit part number identify the unit color and other per-
tinent features provided (refer to Figure 8 for the Model A152B Control Unit Configuration
Matrix).

The Model A151B Control Unit, P/N 93A151XX, is identical to the Model A152B described
above except that the builtin condenser microphone is eliminated and an externally mounted
condenser microphone is used. This type control unit is used in installations where, due to
space restrictions, its optimum mounting location would cause a builtin microphone to be inef-
fective. Refer to Figure 8 for the Model A151B Control Unit Configuration Matrix.

C. MICROPHONE MODULES
Figure 9 illustrates the Model A55B Microphone Modules typically used with the Model A152B
and A151B Control Unit. Also shown are two microphones used in some custom installations.
These microphones are the electric condenser type microphones which operate using a low volt-
age, approximately +6.2V, received from its associated control unit Microphone Preamplifier
PWA. Except for the two omnidirectional models, P/N 93A05540 and 93A05545, all others
are cardioid type directional microphones which have a heartshaped response pattern that
gives a nearly uniform response for a range of about 180 in one direction and a minimum re-
sponse in the opposite direction.
As illustrated, two basic styles of the microphone are offered. One is the canister style which is
a panel mounted microphone with connection terminals at its side or rear. The other is the
mouse style which comes with a pigtail for hardwiring to the control unit. This smaller mouse
type microphone is suitable for remote mounting on the glare shield or windshield post where
panel space is not available for any other type installation. Note: various configurations of these
microphones are available for unique installations; refer to Figure 10 for the Remote Microphone
Configuration Matrix for specifics.

7. INSTALLATION
The Model A100S SSCVR is an environmentally hardened unit housed in an ARINC 404 1/2 ATR
short box painted international orange. The A100S does not require external shock mounting for
installation into the aircraft. The A100S is fully compatible with ARINC Specification 557 and is di-
rectly interchangeable with all existing cockpit voice recorder installations.
The A100S is connected to its Control Unit by way of the aircraft wiring. As illustrated in Figure 12
and Figure 13, the A100S and the Control Unit electrical interconnections are standard with the only
variation being with the Control Unit and whether it has an internal or external microphone.
A. Control Unit Wiring

The Model A151B and the Model A152B Control Units are recommended for use in a new
A100S system. The main difference between the two is the Model A152B has a builtin con-
denser microphone whereas the Model A151B utilizes an externally mounted condenser micro-
phone. Other differences are in regard to front panel color and meter illumination input voltage.
Refer to Figure 15 through Figure 23 for the Model A100S and associated Control Unit wiring
diagrams.
B. Remote Microphone Wiring
The wiring diagrams for the Model A55B series of remote microphones listed in Figure 10 and
used in conjunction with the Model A151B Control Unit are shown in Figure 11.

8. THEORY OF OPERATION
The theory of operation given for the Model A100S describes the functionality of the A100S both at
the system level and at the PWA level. System level theory of operation describes the general op-
eration of the system as a whole. Refer to the Model A100S Functional Block Diagram given in
Figure 25 during the following discussions. The PWA level theory of operation describes the electri-
cal circuitry of the major functional groupings contained on the individual PWAs. Detailed PWA
schematic diagrams are provided in Appendix A of this manual.
A. SYSTEM THEORY OF OPERATION
The Model A100S SSCVR is composed of three PWAs and a Flash Crash Survivable Store Unit
(FCSSU). The three PWAs are the Aircraft Interface PWA, the Audio Processor PWA, and the
Store Processor PWA (refer to Figure 25).
(1) Aircraft Interface PWA, P/N 205E059700
The Aircraft Interface PWA connects the aircraft wiring to the A100S via its 57pin connec-
tor J1. Power regulation, lightning protection, RF attenuation and discrete signal condition-
ing functions are performed on this PWA.
The A100S operates from either a 115V, 400 Hz ac input or a 27.5V dc input. The input
voltage is regulated to furnish +12V, 12V, + 5V, and +18V dc operating power. All regu-
lated voltages are shortcircuit protected. The Aircraft Interface PWA also generates a
/LOW_LINE signal which is used to power down the unit in the case of a power failure.
The Aircraft Interface PWA is mounted to the chassis using five screws with standoffs; its
circuitry includes transformer T1 and the input/output 57pin connector J1. Connections to
the Spare PWA slot (J3), the Audio Processor PWA (J4), and the Store Processor PWA
(J5) are made via connector J2/P2 which is a 50pin, printed circuit board style connector
that is hardwired to the Aircraft Interface (ribbon) Cable Assembly (W1). Note: the Spare
PWA slot is not used. The Aircraft Interface PWA measures 4.4 by 7.1 inches.
(2) Audio Processor PWA, P/N 205E059800
The Audio Processor PWA accepts four channels of cockpit audio and converts the audio
to a digital byte oriented format suitable for storage in the FCSSU solidstate memory.
The four audio inputs are conditioned, amplified, and equalized as necessary. The result-
ing signals are converted to digital pulse code modulation (PCM). The PCM signals are
passed to the Store Processor PWA via a FIFO (FirstInFirstOut) memory. The process
is reversed for playback.
The Audio Processor PWA connects to the other PWAs when its 64pin edge connector
(P1) mates to connector J4 of the Aircraft Interface Cable Assembly (W1). The dimen-
sions of the Audio Processor PWA are 4.4 by 7.1 inches.
(3) Store Processor PWA, P/N 205E060100, 205E102700
The Store Processor PWA, using specially designed algorithms, encodes the data and
routes it to the FCSSU for storage. In addition to data encoding, the Store Processor PWA
provides functional controls for bulk erase, test and playback.
The Store Processor PWA measures 4.8 by 5.3 inches and is mounted to the side of the
FCSSU assembly using four screws. When mounted, it electrically connects to the other
PWAs via a 6.5inch, hardwired ribbon cable assembly (W2) fitted with a 26pin plug
(P5) that mates to connector J5 of the Aircraft Interface Cable Assembly W1. It electrically
connects to the FCSSU assembly via a 50pin connector, designated J2.

B. PWA THEORY OF OPERATION

The A100S PWA theory of operation is presented as follows: Aircraft Interface PWA, Audio Pro-
cessor PWA, and Store Processor PWA. The control units and Microphone Preamplifier PWAs
follow. Detailed schematic diagrams of each A100S PWA and control unit Microphone Preampli-
fier PWA are given in Appendix A at the rear of this manual. Also, refer to the detail system wir-
ing diagram, given in Figure A1.
(1) Aircraft Interface PWA, P/N 205E0597XX (See Figure A2)
The Aircraft Interface PWA connects the aircraft wiring to the A100S using a 57pin DPX
style connector designated J1. Power regulation, lightning protection, RF attenuation and
discrete signal conditioning functions are performed on this PWA.
(a) DC Regulator; U2
The A100S operates from either 115V, 400 Hz ac power or 27.5V dc power (refer to
Figure 26). Power circuits provide regulated +5V, +12V and 12V dc outputs. The
12V output is used to power a DCtoDC Up Converter, U3, which generates +18V
dc power for the A100S Control Unit. All regulated voltages are shortcircuit pro-
tected. The unregulated 27.5V dc input is also used as the /LOW_LINE signal which
is continually monitored to detect a power failure and thereby provide an early warning
to allow circuitry to be properly powered down.

(b) Audio Conditioner; CR1 CR8
The four audio inputs are lightning protected by CR1 CR8. The audio channels are
routed to the Audio Processor PWA for conversion to a digital byte oriented format
and subsequent storage, via the Store Processor PWA, in the crash protected solid
state memory.
(c) Discrete Signal Conditioner; U4
Three discrete inputs; BIAS JUMPER IN, ERASE A, and PUSH_TO _TEST are
lightning protected and converted to drive HCMOS type loads by U4 and associated
circuitry.
After conversion, the BIAS JUMPER IN signal is designated as /RECORD and is

used to disable the record function when playback of the data is required. Signal /RE-
CORD will be pulled up to +5V with no connection made to the BIAS JUMPER IN line.
When the BIAS JUMPER IN line is connected to the BIAS JUMPER OUT line, /RE-
CORD will be driven low.
The Erase A signal is used to initiate the Bulk Erase function. When ERASE A is
left floating, ERASE is driven low. When ERASE A is connected to ERASE C
(Erase button on Control Unit depressed), ERASE will be pulled up to +5V.
The Push_To_Test signal is used to activate the A100S builtintest circuitry and en-
ables the Audio Fault Detector, U1 and U4.
(d) Audio Fault Detector; U1, U4
The audio fault detector is used to determine the status of the COMBINED_AUDIO
signal and to generate a 1.0 milliampere signal to drive the control unit fault indicator.
The Test Tone signal at COMBINED_AUDIO is attenuated by R1 and R2. This signal
is then buffered and bandpass filtered (640 Hz) by U1 and associated circuitry. The
filtered signal is then rectified and filtered by CR12 and C14 for comparison to the
2.5V reference by U4. This signal, /NO FAULT, turns on the current source for +IN-
DICATOR. CR17 and CR18 provide level shifting and overvoltage protection for
the comparator, U4.
(e) Indicator Driver; Q1
The test indicator output (+INDICATOR) circuitry provides a 1 milliampere drive cur-
rent for the standard Control Unit meter or a 28V incandescent lamp. This signal is
present if the following conditions are met:
/FAULT in the nonFault state

TEST active (PUSH_TO_TEST driven Low)

(2) Audio Processor PWA; P/N 205E0598XX (See Figure A3)
The primary function of the Audio Processor PWA is to digitize the four audio signals re-
ceived from the Aircraft Interface PWA and to interface with the Store Processor PWA. In
doing so, the Audio Processor PWA accepts four channels of cockpit audio and then con-
verts the audio to a digital byte oriented format suitable for storage in the crash protected
solidstate memory. Refer to Figure 27 during the following discussion.
The Audio Processor PWA can be viewed as a series of conversion circuits which are en-
acted upon the four channels of audio signals coming from the cockpit. The conversions
can be divided into two functional groupings: an analog section and a digital section.
(a) Analog Section
The analog section consists of record circuits, playback circuits, and test tone circuits.
1) Record Circuits; U6, U9, U10
The four audio channel inputs (CHANNEL_#_HI and CHANNEL_#_LO) are ap-
plied to separate signal transformers (T1, T2. T3, and T4) to provide an un-
grounded differential input. The voltage ratio of the transformer is 1:1 and it is
connected to invert the input signal which corrects for the inversion in the record
shaping circuit. The transformer secondaries are terminated using a 10k ohm
level control (trimmer) potentiometer as follows: T1/R1, T2/R3, T3/R2, and
T4/R4. Each potentiometer is used to adjust the reference level for its respec-
tive channel.
The adjusted output signals of the level control potentiometers and the test tone
signals are applied to the input buffers. The buffers provide a noninverting gain
of 7.7. This gain allows the input level of each channel to be adjusted from 0.1
to 1V rms while providing a 0.5V rms signal level to the record signal shaping
input. The input buffers also provide an inverting gain of one to the test tone
signals.
The record signal shaping circuits provide a bridged, twin tee notch for each
channel. The notch is centered at 1 kHz and has an attenuation of 4 dB. Addi-
tionally, the shaping circuits for Channels 1, 2, and 3 contain highpass filter
circuits which peak the signals by 3.5 dB (nominal) at 3.5 kHz. This peaking is
provided to compensate for the frequency response of the encoder/decoder fil-
ter.
The record signal shaping circuits provide an output signal level of 0.315V rms
at 1 kHz to the analog input of the encoder/decoders.
2) Playback Circuits; U5, U4, U14
The encoder/decoders analog output provides a signal level of 1V rms at the

output of the playback signal shaping circuits. The playback signal shaping cir-
cuits provide the inverse of the notch in the record shaping circuit.

The output signals of the playback shaping circuits are connected through a 20
ohm resistor to the PLAYBACK/MONITOR connector, J6, for test and reproduc-
tion purposes. The output signals are also summed in the output buffer to pro-
vide the COMBINED_AUDIO output signal. The gain of the output buffer is set
to provide a 1.45V rms output signal for each channel when the channel is driv-
en with the reference signal. The COMBINED_AUDIO output can provide a
maximum output signal of 8.03 volts peak into 622 ohms, which is the sum of
the specified output load of 600 ohms and the 22 ohms on the Aircraft Interface
Card. The COMBINED_AUDIO output signal is connected to the I/O connector,
P4, and to the PLAYBACK/MONITOR connector, J6. A short circuit at the
COMBINED_ AUDIO output will cause no damage to the Audio Processor
PWA.
3) Test Tone Circuits; U7, U15
The square wave test tone signal from the LCA, U13, is applied to a comparator
in the test tone level control circuit. The output of the comparator drives two
backtoback Zener diodes to produce a 13.6V peaktopeak signal. This sig-
nal is divided, filtered, and buffered to provide a nominal 0.34V rms fundamental
signal to the test tone switch. The test tone switch, which is controlled by the
test tone enable signals (/TT_EN_x), connects the test tone to one channel at a
time. The amplitude level of the test tone signal at the COMBINED_AUDIO out-
put is 1.0V rms for the voice channels and 1.2V rms for the area channel.
(b) Digital Section
The digital section consists of an encoding/decoding section, a computational section,

a timing and sequencing section, an input/output section, and a programmable control
section.
1) Encoding/Decoding Section; U22 U25
The encoder/decoder transmits encoding (record path) and receives decoding

(playback path) at a sample rate of up to 16 kHz.
Antialiasing and interpolation filters are also included in the device. The encod-
ing produces an 8bit serial PCM stream. The 8bit word appears at the sam-
pling rate which is synchronized by the FSX signal. The bit rate is determined
by CLK R/X which also determines the bandwidth of the antialiasing and inter-
polation filters. The sign bit is transmitted first followed by seven magnitude bits
in decreasing order of significance. The receive decoding operates in an analo-
gous manner.
The audio processor has four encoder/decoder devices, U22, U23, U24 and
U25. The Pilot, CoPilot and Spare channels are collectively called voice chan-
nels and are processed via U22, U23 and U24. These encoder/decoders are all
wired for the same sampling rate and bit rate. The Area Microphone channel is
processed by U25 and has a higher sampling and bit rate.
The PCM signals which are generated and received by the encoder/decoder are
processed by the computational processors.

2) Computational Processors; U17 U21
The Audio Processor PWA uses computational processors as the engine to re-
duce the required bit rate of the recorded data. These devices are mask ROM
programmed specifically for the conversion of PCM data to and from ADPCM
data. The processor uses two bit encoding.
The master clock for the processor is 12.288 MHz (U8). This crystal controlled
clock is also used to derive the bit rate clocks ACLK and VCLK (see PLD2). For
the voice channels a single processor can process both the record and playback
data for one channel. These processors are U17, U18, and U19. The Area Mi-
crophone channel requires a separate processor for the record and playback
functions. The record function encoding is provided by U20 and the playback
encoding is provided by U21.
The XOUT pin of the four encoders which provide record function encoding are
connected together to form the XADPCM single bit tristate bus. This bus is
input to the Logic Configurable Array (LCA) for conversion to byte wide packets.
The bus is actively driven by each processor in response to the FSX signals
which the LCA provides in a time multiplexed fashion. Similarly for playback, the
LCA provides a RADPCM bus and FSR signals. Figure 28 illustrates the rela-
tionship between key processor signals and the corresponding encoder/decoder
and audio processor signals.
3) Timing and Sequencing Section; U11, U13
The timing and sequencing of the data flow on the audio processor is controlled
by a Xilinx 3030 LCA (U13). The program for the LCA is contained in a special
serial PROM (U11). This program is loaded at system reset time (/SYSRST)
under the control of PLD1 (see PLD1).
The logic of the LCA program can be examined in three sections, transmit, re-
ceive and test tone. A test mode is available which will allow complete opera-
tion of the Audio Processor circuits without interface to the Store Processor.
Transmit Section
After system reset the transmit section is in continuous synchronous operation

with fixed timing. This timing consists of the repetition of a one millisecond
cycle. During one cycle the two bit ADPCM data from 24 voice samples (8 each
from the 3 voice channels) and 12 area microphone samples are packed into a
9 byte packet of parallel data. This packet size represents the smallest number
of whole bytes for which all the channels are sampled over an equal period (i.e.
one millisecond). Each byte is written to the record FIFO as it is accumulated
and the REC_SYNC flag is raised during the write of the first byte in the packet.

Figure 28
The generation of the timing is based on the 3.072 MHz ACLK and the 2.048
MHz VCLK being synchronous with an exact three halves relationship (see
PLD2). The ACLK is divided by 256 to provide 12 kHz time slots for the sam-
pling of the area microphone channel. A three stage Johnson counter, clocked
at twice this rate, provides time slots for sampling the three voice channels
which do not interfere with the area channel slots.
23-70-02
Page 38
Feb. 01/93
AVIATION RECORDERS
MODEL A100S
The individual voice channels are sampled at 8 kHz, which is consistent with the
three halves relationship to the 12 kHz sampled area channel. Since VCLK is
synchronous to ACLK, the clocking edges of VCLK are fixed in relation to the
voice channel sampling slots.
The rising edge of each sampling slot causes the generation of the appropriate
sample pulse (FSX pulse) followed by two data clocking pulses. The sample
pulses go to the corresponding encoder/decoders and ADPCM processors
which then output data on the XADPCM bus. The clocking pulses shift this data
into a serial to parallel shift register. When four samples (8 bits) have been ac-
cumulated in the shift register, the contents are written to the record FIFO. After
nine bytes have been written to the FIFO the cycle is repeated.
Receive Section
The receive section timing is similar to the transmit section timing except that
operation is inhibited until the playback FIFO is half full and the cycles are syn-
chronized to the incoming PLAY_SYNC signal. Synchronization is achieved by
resetting the counters which control the 1 ms cycle if the first playback FIFO
read of the cycle does not contain a PLAY_SYNC signal. In normal operation
the first read after the playback FIFO is half full should contain the sync signal
and no resynchronization should be required thereafter. The playback FIFO
should remain about half full with slight variations due to the Store Processor
operations. This halffull condition represents a playback delay of approximate-
ly 57 ms.
The timing of the receive and transmit sections are independent of one another.
Test Tone Section
The test tone section produces a 640 Hz square wave along with individual
channel enables so that the tone may be added to the channels in response to
the test signal. The 640 Hz tone is produced from a divide by 300 chain clocked
by 192 kHz. The 192 kHz clock is a byproduct of the receive and transmit sec-
tions timing. The 640 Hz signal is further divided by 320 to produce 2 Hz. The
2 Hz signal drives a 2bit counter which is decoded into four testtone enable
signals. These enable signals are active low for 0.5 seconds each. The 2bit
counter and the decoder are enabled by the rising edge the test signal. The
individual channel enables and the test tone signal will persist while the test sig-
nal is present, or for 2.5 seconds which ever is longer.
4) Input /Output Section; U12, U16
The Record FIFO (U16) and the Playback FIFO (U12) are 1K X 9 bit First In
First Out memories. The write side of the Record FIFO and the read side of the
Playback FIFO are controlled by the audio processor. Conversely the read side
of the Record FIFO and the write side of the Playback FIFO are controlled by
the Store Processor.

AVIATION RECORDERS
MODEL A100S
Data bits 07 contain the packed audio data while data bit 8 contains the packet
sync information. The output of the Record FIFO and the input of the Playback
FIFO are connected together to form the Digital Audio Data bus (DAD 08).
The input of the Record FIFO and the output of the Playback FIFO are sepa-
rate. The Record FIFO input comes from the LCA (REC_DATA 07 and
REC_SYNC). The Playback FIFO output is a LCA input (PLAY_DATA 07 and
PLAY_SYNC).
5) Programmable Control; U1, U2
PLD1
The Programmable Logic Device 1 (PLD1), U1, is responsible for two functions.
One is the robust resetting of the LCA, U13, in response to system reset
(/SYSRST). This reset initiates a load of the LCA program from the serial
PROM U11. Once the loading begins the LCA controls the load clock to the
serial PROM. Upon completion of the load the LCA asserts the DONE signal.
The initialization and loading process takes approximately 150 ms. The other
function is the BITE monitoring of FIFO overflow which will also cause a robust
LCA reset.
The reset sequence proceeds as follows. The ADPCM processor and FIFO
reset signal, /RESET, is held low while the input /SYSRST is active low. The
rising edge of /SYSRST is synchronized to the 128 kHz clock (see PLD2). A
three stage sequence of flipflops then produce two 7.8 microsecond wide
pulses separated by 7.8 microseconds. This pulse sequence is XRST which is
connected to the /OE of U14 which is the LCA serial programming PROM.
The signal is also used to pull down the open drain connection to the LCA Done
pin. The inverse /XRST is connected to the LCA /Reset pin. This restart se-
quence is considered to be more robust than a simple rising edge reset signal.
As part of the BITE function the PLD1 also monitors the Playback FIFO full
condition. If the /PLAYFIFO_FULL pin goes active while /SYSRST is inactive a
restart sequence is initiated. This condition may occur if the receive section of
the LCA is not operating properly. After the /XRST pulse sequence is com-
pleted, signal /RESET is held low until the Done pin is pulled high by the LCA.
This ensures a /RESET period of greater than 1 millisecond for the ADPCM pro-
cessors.
Another BITE feature is the monitoring of the Record FIFO full condition. If the
/RECFIFO_FULL pin goes active while /SYSRST and ERASE signals are inac-
tive then the open drain /NFG (Not Functioning Great) signal is pulled down.
This causes a system fault indication. This condition may occur if the Store Pro-
cessor is not operating properly.
PLD2
The Programmable Logic Device 2 (PLD2), U2, provides the clocks for the au-
dio processor based upon the 12.288 MHz crystal controlled oscillator clock
(MCLKI). MCLKI is first divided by two to produce a 6.144 MHz clock. This
clock is divided by three to produce the 3.072 MHz ACLK and is divided by two
to produce the 2.048 MHz VCLK. VCLK is divided by 16 to produce 128 kHz.

(3) Store Processor PWA; P/N 205E060101, 205E102700 (See Figures A4 and A5)
The Store Processor PWA, using microprocessor U22, interfaces the flash memory to the
Audio Processor PWA. In order to provide thirty minutes of continuous recording, the
Store Processor aligns the solidstate memory array like a nonvolatile circular buffer,
which the Store Processor writes to at the head of the circular buffer and erases at the end
of the buffer.
The Store Processor can be functionally divided into a Control Management Section and
an Interface Section.
(a) Control Management Section
The control management activities consist of steering the inputs and outputs of its
three interfaces (protectedmemory, Aircraft Interface, and Audio Processor), as well
as providing internal and external performance monitoring.
1) Microprocessor; U22
The Store Processor uses a synchronous state mP, U22, whose timing is derived
from a crystal controlled oscillator, Y1, which outputs a square wave at 32 MHz.
This signal is named CLKIN and drives only the microprocessors clock input.
The mP internally divides CLKIN by two yielding an output clock named
CLKOUT of 16 MHz. All of the mPs internal timing is synchronized to CLKOUT.

MODEL A100S
2) Address Latches; U10, U14
The mPs 20bit address bus is multiplexed with other signals and must be ex-
ternally demultiplexed to generate a system address bus which remains stable
throughout a bus cycle. Address latches, U10 and U14, are used to demultiplex
the interface signals to generate the local address bus (ADR<19..0>). The mPs
Address Latch Enable (ALE) strobe clocks the latches.
3) Power Reset and Watchdog Timer; U2
The resetting of the mP and its support circuitry is managed by a microprocessor

supervisory circuit, U2. It provides an active low /RESET output which is direct-
ly connected to the mPs /RESET input. The minimum duration of the reset
pulse is 35 ms. U2 initiates a /RESET signal when it detects either: 1) the +5
Vdc power supply going out of limits or 2) a watchdog time out.
Upon powering up, /RESET remains low for 35 to 70 ms after Vcc raises above
4.75 volts. On powering down, signal /RESET goes low whenever Vcc falls be-
low 4.5 volts. The reset threshold comparators have approximately 50 mV of
hysteresis.
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) circuit forces a RESET pulse when no retrigger
pulse occurs at its WDI pin within a timeout period of 1.0 second. The Store
Processor causes the watchdog timer to be retriggered every read from or
write to the Audio Processor. This is accomplished by pulsing the watchdog
timers WDI pin with the Audio Processors chip select strobe, /PCS4.
4) Control Logic; U20, U4
The Control Logic is composed of two programmable logic devices, U20 and
U4, as well as a 13 nanosecond delay device, U19. This section generates the
control signals that are used to read and write the data from the protected
(flash) store memory and the Audio Processor PWA.
5) Power Management; U16, U3
Power management circuitry performs three functions; power failure detection,

EEPROM power, and protected (flash) memory power.
Power failure detection is provided by an analog voltage sourced by the power

supply section of the Aircraft Interface PWA. The signal, designated
LOW_LINE, is an analog to the unregulated 28 Vdc (nominal) input to the power
supplys DC/DC converters. At power down, the /LOW_LINE signal begins to
sag before the +5 and/or +12 volt supplies.
In the Store Processor PWA, the /LOW_LINE signal is attenuated and

compared to a 1.3 volt bandgap reference contained within U2. The compara-
tor output, /PWR_FAIL, goes low to indicate power loss. This logic signal is
polled by the mP every time it reads the Audio Processor input port. Signal /
PWR_FAIL also directly controls the EEPROM power circuit.
23-70-02

Feb. 01/93
July 30/94
AVIATION RECORDERS
MODEL A100S
EEPROM power, Vee, is provided because of the need to save memory point-
ers and other state variables at power down. In order to guarantee accurate
saving of state records, the +5 Vdc supply to nonvolatile read/write memory,
U24, must remain within specifications for 10.1 ms after the mP writes the last
byte to be saved. Since the power supply cannot maintain Vcc to the whole
PWA for that long of a period, an isolated +5 Vdc, Vee, is generated by U16.
Protected (flash) memory requires a programming voltage, Vpp, of +12 Vdc

+5%. The +12 Vdc provided by the Aircraft Interface PWA can only be regu-
lated to +10%; consequently, a more tightly regulated voltage is provided by U3,
which is located on the Store Processor PWA.
6) Local Memory; U17, U21, U24
Local Memory (noncrash protected memory) consists of: Read Only Memory,
U5; Volatile Read/Write Memory (RAM) U17 and U21; and NonVolatile
Memory, U24. This circuitry performs two functions; it is used as a buffer be-
tween the Audio Processor and the crashprotected memory, and to retain the
memory pointers and other state variables at power down.
(b) Interface Section
The interface section consists of three interfaces; Aircraft Interface PWA, Audio Pro-
cessor PWA, and the crash protected (flash) memory. Additionally, a local memory
subsection is used in the transfer of data from the Audio Processor to the protected
memory.
1) Aircraft Interface to Store Processor Interface; U23 and U6
The Store Processor interface to the Aircraft Interface PWA consists of four
data lines: TEST, ERASE, /RECORD, and /LOW_LINE. Refer to Page 32 for
signal definitions.
2) Audio Processor Interface; U6, U7 and U12
The logical interface to the Audio Processor consists of: a 9bit bidirectional
bus (data and sync); a 2bit status bus (FIFO halffull and empty); and a 2bit
control bus (write and read strobes). The read and write control strobes which
the Store Processor outputs to the Audio Processor are generated in PLDs,
U20 and U4.
The physical interface to the Audio Processor consists of two ports, one read
only, the other writeonly. Both are accessed whenever the mP asserts /PCS4.
The input port is implemented with a pair of octal 3state buffers (U6 and U7),
which drive the mPs data bus whenever /PCS4 and /RD are asserted. The port
supplies data and status information from the Audio Processor (11 bits). Addi-
tionally, it supplies aircraft and recorder status information (5 bits).
23-70-02
Rev 1 Page 43
Feb. 01/93
July 30/94
AVIATION RECORDERS
MODEL A100S
The output port is implemented with a 9bit transparent 3state latch, U12. The
latch is transparent when /WR and /PCS4 are asserted. It latches data on the
rising edge of /WR. The latchs output are enabled while the latches are trans-
parent, but remain enabled for an additional period after the rising edge of /WR
to meet the Audio Processors write hold timing requirements.
3) Crash Protected (Flash) Memory Interface; U8, U9, U11, U13, U15, U18
The performance requirements of the Store Processor with regard to concur-

rently recording audio data and erasing memory chips in preparation for subse-
quent recording are such that two page registers are required. One page
register selects the device and area to which data is currently being written. The
other page register selects the device and area currently being erased.
The physical interface to the crash protected memory consists of : an 8bit bi

directional data bus (FDAT<7..0>); a 3bit (decoded to 8 lines) module select
bus (SEL<7..0>); a 21bit address bus (FADR<20..0>); and a 2bit control bus
(/OE, /WE).
The data bus is buffered through an 8bit bus transceiver, U18. The direction of
the transceivers is controlled by the mPs /RD strobe. The outputs of the trans-
ceivers are enabled by PLD U4. During a read from flash memory, the outputs
of the transceivers are enabled while /MCSO and /RD are asserted by the mP.
During a write to flash memory, the transceiver outputs are enabled while /
MCSO and /WR are asserted by the mP, but they remain enabled for a period
after the rising edge of /WR in order to meet the flash memorys write hold tim-
ing requirement.
The 15 least significant bits of the flash memory address bus (FADR<14..0>)
are derived directly from the mPs address bus. A pair of 8bit, 3state transpar-
ent latches, U10 and U14, are clocked by the mPs ALE strobe to latch
AD<15..0> on each address cycle.
The 6 most significant bits of the flash memory address bus (FADR<20...15>)
and the 8 module select lines (SEL<7...0>) are derived from a pair of 10bit
page registers, U8 and U9. The registers capture the 10 least significant bits of
the mPs data bus when it performs a write while asserting /PCSO. The regis-
ters clocks and output enables are generated by PLD U4. The level on
ADR<1> determines which register is clocked. One of the two page registers
outputs are enabled during any access to flash memory. The level of ADR<16>
determines which registers outputs are enabled. The 6 least significant output
bits of the page registers become FADR<20...15> and drive the flash memory
array directly. The next three most significant bits (FADR<23..21>) are decoded
by a 10f8 decoder, U11, generating the module select bus (SEL<7..0>).

(4) Control Unit

The Control Unit (see Figure 7 and Figure 30) contains the TEST switch, bulk ERASE
switch, indicating meter, headset jack, and a Microphone Preamplifier PWA and includes
the area microphone (internally or externally mounted). The A151 and A151B Control
Units connect to an externally mounted microphone. The A151 and A152 Control Units
use Microphone Preamplifier PWA, P/N 93A26302 which operates with a dynamic micro-
phone while the A151B and A152B Control Units use Microphone Preamplifier PWA, P/N
93A26601 which operates with a condenser microphone (refer to Appendix A for the
schematic diagrams).
The TEST switch and indicating meter provide the capability to test the four channels and
the headset jack provides the means to monitor the playback of all four recorded channels.
The bulk ERASE switch is used to erase the entire solidstate memory (FCSSU) after a
routine flight, and will work only when: 1) the landing gear is down, 2) the weight of the
plane is resting on the landing gear, and 3) the parking brake is engaged. To prevent acci-
dental erasures, a timedelay circuit makes it necessary to hold the switch down for more
than two seconds to start the erasure process.

MODEL A100S
(a) Microphone Preamplifier PWA, P/N 93A263(XX)
This PWA (refer to Figure 31) is used in Model A151 and A152 Control Units which
function with a dynamic type microphone. The preamplifier (see the schematic dia-
gram given in Figure A6 in Appendix A) receives the microphone lowlevel input sig-
nal at pins N and P. The lowlevel audio signal is amplified by Q1, gain adjusted by
potentiometer R9, and further amplified by Q2.
Pin selectable audio gain attenuation, in 6 dB steps from 0 to 24 dB, is provided via
resistors R17, R29, R30, R32, and R31. A jumper/strap is required in the aircraft con-
nector between pin q and the appropriate attenuation pin (s): p (6 db), r (12 db), or t
(24 db). For example, a gain attenuation of 18 dB is enabled by connecting a jumper
between pin q and p (6 db) and also between pin q and r (12 db). Transistor Q3 is
another amplification stage and Q4 is an emitterfollower used to provide a lowim-
pedance output at pin L (OUT), which is fed through the aircraft wiring to the Aircraft
Interface PWA in the Model A100S recorder. Transistors Q5 and Q6 and associated
circuitry form an automatic gain control circuit (AGC). Diode D4, R27, and C22 filter
the supply voltage (B+18V) received from the A100S recorder.
NOTE: Jumper pin 5B at the center of the PWA is used to disable the AGC circuitry
when jumpered to the chassis.
(5) Microphone Preamplifier PWA, P/N 93A266(XX)
This PWA (refer to Figure 32) is used in the Model A151B and A152B Control Units
which connect, externally or internally, to a condenser microphone (Model A55B).
The operation of this PWA is similar to that of Microphone Preamplifier PWA, P/N
93A263 (XX), but differs in that it provides a filtered 6.2V dc supply voltage required
by the condenser microphones as a polarizing voltage. This voltage is furnished via
resistor R20, Zener diode D3, and capacitor C15 (see the schematic diagram given in
Figure A7 in Appendix A). Also, the preamplifier input is changed somewhat to ac-
commodate the higher level audio signal.
The microphone output signal is applied to the preamplifier input at pins N and M and
amplified by Q1, gain adjusted by potentiometer R9, and further amplified by Q2. Pin
selectable audio gain attenuation, in 6 dB steps from 0 to 24 dB, is provided via resis-
tors R17, R29, R30, R32, and R31. A jumper is required in the aircraft connector be-
tween pin q and the appropriate attenuation pin (s): p (6 db), r (12 db), or t (24 db).
For example, a gain attenuation of 18 dB is enabled by connecting a jumper between
pin q and p (6 db) and also between pin q and r (12 db). Transistor Q3 is another
amplification stage and Q4 is an emitterfollower used to provide a lowimpedance
output at pin L (OUT), which is fed through the aircraft wiring to the Aircraft Interface
PWA in the Model A100S recorder. Low frequency response remains fixed at 150 Hz
(3 dB).
Transistors Q5 and Q6 and associated circuitry form an automatic gain control circuit
(AGC). Diode D4, R27, and C22 filter the supply voltage (B+18V) received from the
A100S recorder.
NOTE: Jumper pin 5B at the center of the PWA is used to disable the AGC circuitry
when jumpered to the chassis.

TESTING AND TROUBLESHOOTING

1. GENERAL
This section provides operational level testing and system troubleshooting procedures for the Model
A100S recorder and associated control units and microphones. Testing for the A100S is based upon
operational test procedures. The operational test procedures may serve as an acceptance criteria
for the unit, as well as provide pointers to probable failures in the event that the unit is not function-
ing properly. There is no periodic testing required for the A100S. The A100S is a solidstate device
which has no moving parts and provides a minimum of 30 minutes of recording time. As such, fault
isolation is simplified in that it is confined to the three printed wiring assemblies which contain the
processing and control electronics for the A100S.
2. A100S RECORDER TESTING

The Model A100S has been designed as a direct line replaceable unit (LRU) for the existing L3
Cockpit Voice Recorders, Models A100 and A100A. As such, other than the Audio Monitor Adapter
with Modification 1 (AMA/1), the Model A100S recorder uses the same test equipment and bench
setup as the tapebased models.
As with the Model A100 and A100A recorders, the Model A100S must be removed from the aircraft
and placed on a test bench to be tested. Table 101 lists the standard test equipment that is recom-
mended to be available at the test bench such as an oscilloscope, voltmeters and frequency counter.
Special test equipment required consists of the following L3 units:
Cockpit Voice Recorder System Test Panel L3 P/N 9300A860

Calibrated Sound Source L3 P/N 9300A870
Audio Monitor Adapter (AMA/1) L3 P/N 17TES0200
Ultrasonic Test Set (Beacon Tester) L3 P/N 15977
3. MODEL A100S OPERATIONAL TEST PROCEDURE

Figure 101 is a block diagram of the test equipment setup used to test the Model A100S. The op-
erational test procedure used to verify the mission readiness of the Model A100S are given in
Table 102. The A100S is tested using the L3 Cockpit Voice Recorder System Test Panel, P/N
9300A860, which is the same test panel used to test the Model A100 and A100A tapebased Cock-
pit Voice Recorders. Interface cables are included with the Test Panel, one (rectangular plug) to
connect to the cockpit voice recorder and another (round plug) to connect to the control unit.

This panel may be used in conjunction with the L3 Calibrated Sound Source, P/N 9300A870, which
is used to generate a regulated sound source, via a speaker, to test and analyze the system micro-
phones. The specifications for the A100S apply to the individual channel outputs accessed, via the
Audio Monitor Adapter with Modification 1 (AMA/1), at the Playback Monitor connector (J6) located
on the outer edge of the Audio Processor PWA. As such, the dust cover of the A100S must be re-
moved if the desired level of test goes beyond the ALL TEST procedure given in Table 102. For an
illustration of this test setup, refer Figure 904.
NOTE: The ALL TEST test procedure is sufficient to determine the mission readiness of the re-
corder.
System level troubleshooting for the Model A100S is provided in Table 105. Each step given in
Table 105 corresponds to the respective step described in the Operational Test Procedure given in
Table 102. That is, if an expected indication called for in the Operational Test Procedure is not cor-
rect, refer to the respective step in the System Level Troubleshooting table.
System level troubleshooting restricts corrective maintenance to replacement of a PWA and/or the
Flash Crash Survivable Storage Unit (FCSSU). However, fault isolation procedures are given for the
Aircraft Interface PWA (Table 106), Audio Processor PWA (Table 107) and the Store Processor PWA
(Table 108). To aid in troubleshooting, refer to the System Functional Block Diagram given in
Figure 25, which is presented in the Description and Operation section. Also, refer to the detailed
system wiring diagram (Figure A1) and PWA schematic diagrams given in Appendix A at the rear of
this manual for additional troubleshooting aids.
Frequency response and input gain calibration procedures are described in the Fault Isolation sec-
tion for the Audio Processor PWA.

(3) Carefully readjust Variac to provide 115 + 1 Vac to the Test Panel.
Note the ac power consumption. Subtract from this
figure, the power consumption noted in step A.(2).
The ac power consumed by the recorder should be12 watts
or less. If not, proceed to Table 105 for troubleshooting.
C. ALL TEST Test SetUp, Figure 101

Sophisticated BuiltInTestEquipment (BITE) has been designed
into the A100S to allow a quick operational confidence check without
removing the dust cover. This check can be accomplished at the test
bench using the Test Panel.
(1) ALL TEST Using Test Panel:
(a) At the Test Panel, set the MODE switch to position UNIT.
(b) At the Test Panel, press and hold the green ALL TEST
pushbutton for approximately 1 minute to allow
recorded data to be monitored in the playback mode.
(c) While holding in the ALL TEST pushbutton, monitor the

TEST meter directly above the ALL TEST pushbutton.
The needle should remain in the green (GOOD) area.
(d) At the Test Panel, monitor the speaker for the 640 Hertz
test tone; if necessary, turn up the panel VOLUME control.
The test tone will alternate between the channels and
will always start a new cycle at Channel 1. If this is not
the case, proceed to Table 105 for troubleshooting.
(e) Control Unit Voltage Check: Measure the output of the Control Unit
connectors on the A860 Control Panel and ensure a reading of
18 VDC + 15% with a 1 K ohm load across the output.
NOTE: If recorder does not pass All Test, check for fault conditions
described in notes at end of this chapter.
NOTE: CLEARING MEMORY LATCHED FAULT CONDITION

The A100S Store Processor Card, p/n: 205E060200 or 205E102700, stores
memory fault codes in nonvolatile EEPROM. Certain memory fault conditions
must be reset by service personnel prior to returning the unit to normal operation.
This Memory latched fault condition is indicated by the Fault Indicator, CR5, lo-
cated on the Store Processor Card, being illuminated when the unit is powered up
in the Record Mode of operation. The Memory Latched Fault Condition can be
cleared as described in the procedure below.

corder.
(8) If recorder fails to test good, or the Fault Indicator, CR5, is still illuminated,
then repeat steps (3) (7). If problem continues, return unit to L3AR for ser-
vice.
(9) If the Pointers Not Saved latched condition was observed in step (2) above,
then proceed with the next procedure.
NOTE: POINTERS NOT SAVED LATCHED FAULT CONDITION
The A100S is designed such that an impending loss of power is signaled to the
CPU to preserve the current system pointers in nonvolatile (EEPROM) memory.
Any interruption to this cycle might result in a corrupted set of pointers and cause a
Pointers Not Saved latched fault condition.
(1) With the SSCVR connected to the A860 CVR Test Panel, power the A100S
up in the Reproduce Mode. (Record/Bias Switch, S11, on the Test Panel to
OFF.)
(2) If the Pointers Not Saved condition has been latched, the Fault Indicator,
CR5, on the Store Processor Card will flash 10 times.
(3) Allow this flashing fault indication cycle to complete.
Note: Since this procedure requires critical timing sequence for clearing the
fault condition, read Steps (4) & (5) completely before performing.

7. MODEL A150 PREAMPLIFIER TEST PROCEDURES

Table 104 provides the operational test procedure for the Model A150 Microphone Pre-
amplifier Module. The Model A150 is designed to be used only with condenser-type mi-
crophones (Model A055). To test the operational performance of the A150 Preamplifier
Module, use Test Cable Assembly, P/N 024E128500, along with the same test setup giv-
en in Figure 102 with one exception. A simulated microphone signal output from the
HP33120B is routed through the A860 Test Panel, a banana jack to BNC adapter,
and Cable 024E187700 to connector J1 on the A150 Preamplifier. The Test Cable As-
sembly, P/N 024E128500 connects between J2 on the A860 Test Panel and the 19pin
connector on Preamplifier A150 to furnish operating power for the preamplifier and to
route the amplified simulated microphone output back to the A860 Test Panel.

9. MODEL A100S SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING

System level troubleshooting for the Model A100S is provided in Table 105. Troubleshooting is
based on the Operational Test Procedure described in the front of this section. That is, if an ex-
pected indication called for in the Operational Test Procedure is not correct, the troubleshooting pro-
cedure will direct the technician to the probable cause of the malfunction. System troubleshooting
restricts corrective maintenance to replacement of a PWA and/or the Flash Crash Survivable Stor-
age Unit (FCSSU).
Each step given in Table 105 corresponds to the respective step described in the Operational Test
Procedure. To aid in troubleshooting, refer to Figure 25, System Functional Block Diagram, pres-
ented in the Description and Operation section, Figure A1 the detailed system wiring diagram pres-
ented in Appendix A and to the detailed schematic diagrams of each PWA also provided in Appendix
A.
Board level troubleshooting follows the system troubleshooting and provides test point analysis, logic
analyzer fault detection (Audio Processor PWA), and component level fault isolation.
WARNING: VOLTAGES CAPABLE OF FATAL INJURY ARE PRESENT AT THE RECORDER IN-
PUT CONNECTOR; ONLY QUALIFIED MAINTENANCE TECHNICIANS SHOULD
PERFORM THE FOLLOWING MAINTENANCE.
CAUTION: THE A100S PRINTED CIRCUIT ASSEMBLIES CONTAIN DEVICES SENSITIVE TO

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD). PERSONNEL HANDLING A PRINTED CIR-
CUIT BOARD SHOULD COMPLY WITH PROPER ESD HANDLING PROCEDURES;
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ESD SENSITIVE DEVICES

10. MODEL A100S PRINTED WIRING ASSEMBLY (PWA) FAULT

ISOLATION
Fault Isolation at the Printed Wiring Assembly (PWA) level has been developed for the Model A100S
such that expected indications for key signals and test points are described along with the
associated circuitry. As such, if an expected indication is not correct, the fault isolation chart will pro-
vide the circuitry which is the probable cause of failure for the signal under inspection. Once the
probable circuitry is identified, the technician is expected to use common troubleshooting techniques
to further isolate the fault to a particular circuit or component.
A. AIRCRAFT INTERFACE PWA FAULT ISOLATION
The Aircraft Interface PWA, P/N 205E059700, connects the aircraft wiring to the A100S
through a 57pin DPX style connector designated J1. Power regulation, lightning protection, RF
attenuation and discrete signal conditioning functions are also performed on this PWA. Refer to
the Description and Operation Section, 8.B.(1), for an indepth functional description of the Air-
craft Interface PWA.
The fault isolation procedure for the Aircraft Interface PWA is given in Table 106. Refer to the
detailed system wiring diagram, Figure A1, and to the Aircraft Interface PWA detailed schematic
diagram, Figure A2, given in Appendix A of this manual.

B. AUDIO PROCESSOR PWA FAULT ISOLATION

The primary function of the Audio Processor PWA, P/N 205E059800, is to digitize the four au-
dio signals supplied via the Aircraft Interface PWA and to interface with the Store Processor
PWA. In doing so, the Audio Processor accepts four channels of cockpit audio and then con-
verts the audio to a digital byte oriented format suitable for storage in the solidstate crash pro-
tected memory (FCSSU). Refer to Description and Operation Section 8.B.(2) for an indepth
functional description of the Audio Processor PWA.
The Logic Configurable Array (LCA), U13, on the Audio Processor provides a means to perform
a closedloop test, which isolates the Audio Processor PWA from the Store Processor PWA and
the FCSSU. As such, component level fault isolation for the Audio Processor is described with
the Audio Processor in the test mode.

As with the Aircraft Interface PWA, fault isolation will be accomplished by listing key signals, de-
scribing the expected indications, and identifying the possible faulty circuitry. Once the probable
circuitry is identified, the technician is expected to use traditional troubleshooting techniques to
further isolate the fault.
Set up the Audio Processor PWA for fault isolation as described below and refer to Table 107 for
the Audio Processor PWA fault isolation procedure. Refer to the detailed schematic diagram of
the Audio Processor PWA, Figure A3, given in Appendix A of this manual.
(1) Audio Processor PWA Fault Isolation Test Setup
This procedure is used to prepare the Audio Processor PWA for fault isolation.
(a) Place the Audio Processor PWA in a known good Model A100S recorder.
(b) Connect the A100S to the Test Panel as illustrated in Figure 101.
(c) Adjust the Audio Oscillator for a 3V rms, 1 kHz signal at the RECORDER INPUT
terminals on the Test Panel right side when Channels 1, 2 or 3 are to be tested; when
Channel 4 is to be tested, adjust for a 2V rms,1 kHz input signal.
(d) At the Audio Processor PWA, connect point E40 to point E41. This will put the Audio
Processor in the test mode.
(e) Disconnect the connection between the Store Processor PWA Cable Assembly W2,
plug P5 and the Aircraft Interface Cable Assembly W1, connector J5.
(f) Turn power on at the Test Panel.
(g) At the Audio Processor PWA, momentarily short point E38 to ground. This simulates
the system reset pulse required to initiate the Audio Processors digital devices.
(h) Using an oscilloscope, refer to Table 107 and check for the indications described in
the fault isolation procedure. Be sure to perform the checks in the sequence de-
scribed in the procedure.
NOTE: Because of the complexity of the digital circuitry, the checks described in the
fault isolation chart are not all encompassing; consequently, an identified
check may measure as expected and the device might still be faulty at
another output. As such, L3 recommends that if the technician cannot isolate
a faulty Audio Processor PWA to the component level by following the fault
isolation chart, the PWA should be sent back to the factory for repair.

(3) Model A100S Frequency Response Measurement
NOTE 1: The frequency response of the A100S, for all practical purposes, is guaran-
teed due to the digitizing process; however, this test, which is described as the
frequency response test is often a helpful troubleshooting tool.
The electronic circuitry of the Model A100S can be categorized into two gener-
al categories: the analog signalin conditioning circuitry and the memory inter-
face circuitry to include the crash protected memory. The electronics of the
analog section can be further divided into individual channel sections which aid
in overall troubleshooting.
NOTE 2: If the frequency response measurement does not check correctly, it is prob-
ably due to the encoder/decoder devices located on the Audio Processor PWA
(U22 U25). If that is not the case, refer to the troubleshooting charts for fur-
ther fault isolation procedures.
(a) At the Test Panel, reset the test conditions according to that given in step (1) Audio
Processor PWA Fault Isolation Test Setup. Refer to Page 128.
(b) At the Audio Processor PWA, connect the L3 Audio Monitor Adapter (AMA/1), P/N
17TES0200, to connector J6 on the Audio Processor PWA (refer to Figure 107).
(c) To monitor Channel 1, connect the SPARE jack to the AC voltmeter using the
1/4inch monophonic jacktoBNC test cable.
(d) While monitoring the output of Channel 1 with an AC voltmeter, slowly adjust the au-
dio oscillator from 150 to 3500 Hz. The diptopeak deviation in the output should
be less than or equal to 6 dB.
(e) Repeat step (d) for Channel 2 connecting the 1/4inch monophonic jacktoBNC
test cable to the COPILOT jack and to the AC voltmeter.
(f) Repeat step (d) for Channel 3 connecting the 1/4inch monophonic jacktoBNC
test cable to the PILOT jack and to the AC voltmeter.
(g) For Channel 4 (Area Mic), connect the 1/4inch monophonic jacktoBNC test
cable to the AREA jack and to the AC voltmeter. Then, adjust the audio oscillator
from 150 to 5000 Hz. Like the other channels, the diptopeak deviation in the out-
put should be less than or equal to 6 dB.

C. STORE PROCESSOR PWA FAULT ISOLATION

The Store Processor PWA, P/N 205E060100 and 205E102700, interfaces the solidstate
memory to the Audio Processor PWA via microprocessor U22. In order to provide thirty minutes
of continuous recording, the Store Processor aligns the solidstate memory array like a nonvola-
tile circular buffer, which the Store Processor PWA writes to at the head of the circular buffer and
erases at the end of the buffer.
The Store Processor PWA can be functionally broken into a control management section and an
interface section. Refer to Description and Operation Section 8.B.(3) for an indepth functional
description of the Store Processor PWA.
As with the other PWAs in the Model A100S, the fault isolation has been developed such that
key test points and signals are described along with their expected indications. If a fault is de-
tected, the fault isolation chart directs the technician to the circuitry which is the probable cause
of failure. Once the probable circuitry is identified, the technician is expected to use traditional
troubleshooting techniques to further isolate the failure.
Refer to the Audio Processor PWA Fault Isolation Test Setup given in Section (1), Page 128
and setup as directed. Complete the Audio Processor PWA fault isolation procedure successful-
ly and then reconnect the Store Processor PWA Cable Assembly W2/P5, step (e), to the Aircraft
Interface Cable Assembly W1 connector J5.
Refer to Table 108 and check for the indications described in the Store Processor PWA fault
isolation procedure. Detailed schematic diagrams of the two Store Processor PWAs, P/N
205E060100 and 205E102700, are given in Appendix A, as Figure A4 and Figure A5, respec-
tively.

11. CONTROL UNIT FAULT ISOLATION

The Model A100S has been developed to work in conjunction with all existing L3 Control Units. The
history of the Control Units is such that there are several variations of the basic control unit.
As with the A100S fault isolation procedures, the Control Units fault isolation procedures are pres-
ented in tabular (chart) form. The troubleshooting approach for the Control Units differs from the
Model A100S in that Control Unit troubleshooting is based on fault recognition versus expected in-
dication as in the Model A100S. This is due to the immense field experience related to the Control
Unit.
The Control Unit consists of physical connections for a phone jack, primary input/output connector, a
meter and various pushbuttons, as well as the MIcrophone Preamplifier PWA (dynamic/condenser).
The microphone preamplifier circuitry consists of a series of four amplifier/buffer stages and an AGC
circuit. L3 recommends halfsplit troubleshooting methods be used on the preamplifier, largely due
to the flowthru nature of the circuitry. Refer to Figure 15 through Figure 24, in the Description and
Operation Section for wiring diagrams of the different versions of the L3 Control Units.
Table 109 provides the system level troubleshooting procedure for the Control Unit. Refer to
Table 110 for the procedure to troubleshoot Control Unit Microphone Preamplifiers 9300A030 and
93A26301, Table 111 for the procedure to troubleshoot Control Unit Microphone Preamplifier
93A26302 and to Table 112 for the procedure to troubleshoot Microphone Preamplifiers 9300A242,

A. UNDERWATER LOCATING DEVICE (Beacon) (See Figure 301 or IPL Figure 2)

The Underwater Locating Device (ULD) should be mounted on the A100S front panel so that the
beacon water switch is facing to the down (refer to Figure 301, 2160A and 2160B). The ULD is
equipped with a battery having a life expectancy of six years and may be manufactured by either
the Dukane Corporation, P/N: DK120, or Benthos, P/N: ELP362D. The two ULDs are identical in
form, fit and function, so if a new replacement device is needed, it may be ordered directly from L3
Aviation Recorders (L3AR). When ordering from L3AR, the L3AR part number must be used (Du-
kane: p/n 266E030501, Benthos: p/n 266E030502).

D. ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARD DISASSEMBLY (See IPL Figures 316)
The procedures listed in this section are general in nature. The components used on the A100S
printed wiring assemblies are advanced electrical circuits protected by conformal coating and are
very heat, static and shock sensitive. Extreme care should be exercised when repairing these
circuit boards. It is highly recommended that a defective circuit board be returned to the factory
for repair.
CAUTION: THE A100S PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS CONTAIN DEVICES THAT ARE SEN-
SITIVE TO ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD). PERSONNEL HANDLING A
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD SHOULD COMPLY WITH PROPER ESD HAN-
DLING PROCEDURES; FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO
THE ESD SENSITIVE DEVICES RENDERING THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD
USELESS. PRIOR TO HANDLING A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD, ENSURE
PROPER PERSONNEL GROUNDING TECHNIQUES ARE USED. ALSO, EN-
SURE THAT ALL PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS ARE PLACED INTO STATIC
SHIELDING CONDUCTIVE BAGS WHEN HANDLING OR STORING.
ESD SYMBOL FOR ESD

SYMBOL POINT
(1) Remove any circuit board assembly which needs replacement or repair as described in the
previous steps. All of these circuit board assemblies are shown in detail in the Illustrated
Parts List with their accompanying schematic diagrams located in Appendix A.
(2) To remove protective conformal coating on the circuit board, rub the area around the dam-
aged component with a cotton swab soaked with alcohol. Any residual coating can be re-
moved by the soldering iron prior to desoldering terminals.
(3) Protect the component to be removed by using a heatsink clamp between the soldering
point and the component itself.
(4) Using an Endeco Model 300 vacuum desoldering iron, or equivalent, heat the connection
on the terminal in question until the solder becomes liquid and remove it with the vacuum
bulb.
(5) Straighten the bent lead using needlenose pliers and pull the component lead from the
board.
(6) Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for each component to be replaced.
(7) Refer to the Assembly section of this Component Maintenance Manual for any special
instructions on installing components.

D. UNDERWATER LOCATING DEVICE (Beacon) CLEANING

The Model A100S beacon water switch should be kept clean by wiping with a soft lint-free cloth
at least once every 24 months (more frequently under high humidity conditions). The beacon
cradle is positioned on the A100S front panel so that the water switch is facing down; refer to
Figure 401 for manner of installation.
The beacon cleaning procedure requires no disassembly and consists only of cleaning the cen-
ter contact of the beacon water switch. Make sure the beacon case and water switch are free of
dirt and/or grease film. If necessary, take the beacon out of the mounting bracket assembly as
shown in Figure 401 and wipe clean with approved cleaning agent. The water switch end insula-
tor must be free of dirt, lint, or moisture to prevent current from leaking across the switch.
As an added note, there are two types of beacons used with the Model A100S. Each is
equipped with a battery having an expected life of six years. The two approved beacons are the
Dukane beacon, P/N DK120, and a Benthos beacon, P/N ELP362D.
The two beacons are identical in form, fit, and function but carry different part numbers. The
Dukane beacon, p/n: 266E0305-01, and the Benthos beacon, p/n: 266E0305-02, may be or-
dered directly from Aviation Recorders using these numbers.

REPAIR
1. GENERAL
This section is intended to contain information required to restore a worn or damaged part to a ser-
viceable condition. Since the Model A100S is a completely solidstate device containing no electro
mechanical moving parts, the information presented herein applies only to the repair of a printed wir-
ing assembly. The components used on the PWA circuit boards of the Model A100S are advanced
electrical circuits protected by conformal coating and are heat, static and shock sensitive. Extreme
care should be used when repairing these boards. It is highly recommended that a known bad circuit
board be returned to the factory for repair.
If infield repair of a printed wiring assembly is necessary (such as board surface damage or replac-
ing damaged electrical components such as capacitors, resistors, transistors, transformers, and inte-
grated circuits), refer to the Disassembly Section if its removal is not obvious and to the Illustrated
Parts List Section for its parts listing. Replace all components not meeting the requirements outlined

A. COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER SYSTEM TEST PANEL, P/N 9300A860
The operation of the Model A100S Recorder and associated control units may be verified using
the standard Cockpit Voice Recorder System Test Panel, P/N 9300A860, originally designed for
the test and calibration of the Model A100 series of tapebased Cockpit Voice Recorders (refer
to Figure 901). Using this panel, audio signals can be applied to individual channels for test and
analysis. Additionally, the test panel can be used to activate the Model A100S builtintest util-
ity, to initiate its Bulk erase feature, and to replay previously recorded data (combined audio).
The Test Panel is divided into two section: RECORDER and CONTROL UNIT. The RECORD-
ER section (right half) contains all the controls for test tone, bulk erase, bias trap and associated
input/output points. The CONTROL UNIT (left half) section contains all the necessary controls
to perform operational checks on all models of control units. Switches for attenuation (6, 12, and
24 db), and a 700 1K Hertz filter are included in this test panel to simulate actual conditions.
The audio output from either the recorder or control unit section can be monitored, using a head-
set, at the HEADSET jack or by way of the front panel speaker. The Test Panel measures
19inches wide, 8.75inches high and 9.5inches deep.

Figure 903
The AMA/1 along with an external amplifier and speaker are the only instruments required to
provide quality analysis of the recorded audio data. To use the AMA/1, the recorder must be
taken from the aircraft, placed on a test bench and its dust cover removed. The AMA/1 30inch
cable is mated, via its 10pin connector, to the Playback Monitor connector designated J6 which
is located on the Audio Processor PWA at its center outer edge (refer to Figure 904).
This connection routes the four audio channels and the Combined Audio channel (summation of
Channels 1 through 4) from the Model A100S to the AMA/1 for output individually, via 1/4inch
monophone jacks, as follows:
From SSCVR To AMA/1 Signal Amplitude
Channel 3 PILOT jack 1 Vrms + 10%
Channel 2 COPILOT jack 1 Vrms + 10%
Channel 1 SPARE jack 1 Vrms + 10%
Channel 4 AREA jack 1 Vrms + 10%
Combined Audio Channel COMBINED jack 1.45 Vrms + 10%
The signal amplitudes available at the AMA/1 monophone jacks are based on the Model A100S
having an applied input of 3 Vrms for Channels 1, 2 and 3 and 2 Vrms for Channel 4.
As a general rule, the signal amplitude available at the AMA/1 SPARE (Channel 1), COPILOT
(Channel 2 ) and PILOT (Channel 3) jacks is 33% of the A100S applied input whereas the signal
amplitude available at the AREA jack (Channel 4) is 50% of the unit applied input. The signal
amplitude available at the AMA/1 COMBINED jack is approximately 1.45 times the highest indi-
vidual channel amplitude present at the AMA/1. Also, the signal amplitude measured at the
AMA/1 COMBINED jack should be identical to that measured at the Headset jack on both the
Model A100S front panel or its associated Control Unit front panel.

1. GENERAL
This section contains the following sections: Introduction, Equipment Designator List, Numerical In-
dex, and Detailed Parts List. The Introduction describes usage of the Illustrated Parts List (IPL), a
listing of abbreviations, and a list of vendor names, addresses, and codes per the current issue of
Federal Supply Code for Manufacturers, catalog handbook H41. A configuration matrix listing the
Model A100S SolidState Cockpit Voice Recorder configurations is provided in paragraph 8. The
Equipment Designator Index provides a cross reference from manufacture reference designator to
manufacturing part number. The Numerical Index provides a numerical listing of all manufacturing
part numbers.
2. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Illustrated Parts List is to assist maintenance and supply personnel in requisition-
ing, storing, issuing and identifying parts to maintain the Model A100S recorder. This Illustrated Parts
List is not to be taken as the authority for the procedure of assembly or disassembly. Overhaul or
repair should be done by authorized personnel only.
3. ABBREVIATIONS
The following abbreviations are used in this section:
Abbreviation Meaning
AR As Required
NHA Next Higher Assembly
RF Reference
4. EQUIPMENT DESIGNATOR INDEX
The Equipment Designator Index is an index of designators assigned to electrical parts as shown in
electrical wiring and schematic diagrams. Equipment designators are listed in alphanumerical se-
quence showing applicable figure and item numbers.
5. NUMERICAL INDEX
The Numerical Index is a complete listing of parts included in the Detail Parts List, crossreferenced
to the applicable figure and item number, L3s part numbers, the manufacturers part numbers and
total quantity required.
Part numbers are arranged in a alphanumerical sequence beginning at the extreme lefthand position
and continue from left to right, one position at a time. The order to precedence in beginning the part
number arrangement is as follows:
A. Letters A through Z (Alphabetical Os are considered as numerical zeros).
B. Numerals 0 through 9.
Part number entry is limited to a single line and does not exceed fifteen characters.
The FIGURE number and ITEM number columns contain the figure and item number(s) for all parts
listed. When more than one figure and item number are shown for the same part number, the part
number is not repeated.

6. DETAIL PARTS LIST

The Detail Parts List consists of illustrations and columnar parts breakdown of the component and all
assemblies, subassemblies, and parts that can be disassembled, repaired and reassembled, or re-
placed. Items that are riveted, welded or spun over are not listed. Parts made of bulk stock such as
wire, tape or bonding braid are also not listed. Illustrations are each assigned a figure number, com-
mencing with Figure 1 and progressing in sequence.
The FIGURE AND INDEX NUMBER column reflects the assigned figure number of the illustration in
which the item is shown and the item number listed on the illustration. Figure numbers are shown for
the first entry of each figure and at the top of each subsequent column. When there is more than one
type of subassembly for the same function additional figures are included with the same number, but
followed by an additional alpha designator (such as A, B, etc.).
Each part number listed in the Detail Parts List is assigned an index number. Index numbers begin
with number 1 for each illustration and in broken sequence to facilitate the insertion of new items
which are not variants of existing items. Items listed but not illustrated are identified by a dash to the
left of the index number.
Item Number Alpha variants are assigned consecutively, A through Z, for related part numbers to
show Service bulletin related modifications, or configurational differences from the original item, Non
service bulletin related product improvement parts, or optional parts.
The PART NUMBER column contains the manufacturers part number when the part is purchased
from a source other than L3 Communications, or the L3 part number for those parts which must be
purchased from L3. When the manufacturers part number is used for any parts, the L3 number is
also shown enclosed in parentheses, in the NOMENCLATURE column. When standard parts (such
as MS, AN, RC, CP, etc.) are used, vendor codes are not assigned to these parts. However, for
nonstandard parts the vendor code is assigned in the NOMENCLATURE column and is preceded by
the letter V. It corresponds to the Federal Supply Code for Manufacturers as listed in Cataloging
Handbook H41.
When a part has multiple vendors, all part numbers are listed in the PART NUMBER column. The
first vendor will be assigned an item number and each subsequent part number is assigned the same
item number with an alpha variant.
The NOMENCLATURE column describes the part or assembly. Nomenclature wording is arranged so
that the identifying noun or key word is always the first part of the description; this is followed by mo-
difying words. Standard abbreviations are used as necessary. Assemblies which are not broken
down within a listing but which are covered by a separate figure will carry the notation (SEE FIG.
FOR DETAIL BREAKDOWN). The listing of the assembly in the breakdown figure will carry the ref-
erence (SEE FIG. FOR NHA). If the vendor is not L3, the manufacturers vendor code may be
included in parentheses in this column.
The indenture system, provided by the numbers 1 through 6 in the heading, shows the relationship
of one part to another; for example, a part listed under indenture 3 is a component of the assembly
listed under indenture 2 immediately above it. Items used to attach parts or assemblies to each
other are designated ATTACHING PARTS and are listed immediately following the item or items
they attach. The symbol * * * denotes the end of attaching parts.

A100S
The EFFECTIVITY CODE column establishes parts relationship with units or assemblies which are
essentially the same but have variations. These units or assemblies are assigned reference letters
such as A, B, C, D, etc. Parts which are not common to all configurations but are associated with
one or more of the coded lead items carry the letter or letters assigned to the lead item with which it
is associated. If a part is common to all lead items, the EFFECTIVITY CODE column is blank.
The UNITS PER ASSY column lists the quantity of the item required in one assembly in which it is a
component. It is, therefore, not necessarily the total quantity of the part required in the complete
equipment; the equipment total can be found in the Numerical Index. The term RF denotes that the
assembly has been previously listed in the parts breakdown, or in some instances engineering refer-
ence documentation associated with an assembly part.
