ACU6101 Can accommodate Up To Eight Trancievers
Becker Avionics has rolled out its newest Audio Control Unit
(ACU) ACU6101 Cabin Audio Control Panel. This new panel design is
based on the standard ACU6101 Cockpit Panel ... the ACU6101 Cabin
Audio Control Unit, which is the latest addition to the Digital
Audio Selector and Intercom System, the DVCS6100. Designed for
rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, the ACU6101 Cabin Audio Control
Panel is specially optimized for restricted panel size applications
and offers up to 8 communication channels, 2 navigation receivers,
low power consumption, as well as reduced weight and size. The
system offers clear voice communication, a proven
Man-Machine-Interface (MMI), outstanding reliability, as well as
scalability and flexibility with fully configurable system
software.
The ACU6101 is part of the Digital Voice Communication System
(DVCS 6100). It serves as a cabin audio control unit for the
REU6100 Remote Electronic Unit. A maximum of six (6) Audio Control
Units can be connected to one Remote Electronic Unit.
The ACU6101 offers the following control features on the front
panel:
- 1 Rotary switch, 9 positions, to pre-select the active
transceiver as well as Public Address or Intercom mode.
- 8 push button Monitoring switches combined with potentiometers
and furnished with an LED indicator for each transceiver.
- 2 push button Monitoring switches combined with potentiometers
for receivers only.
- 1 VOICE button with LED to switch the ident filter on and off
(green LED: filter on, ident frequency 1020 Hz suppressed).
- 1 ISOL/CALL button with LED's to control the intercom functions
between cockpit and cabin area.
Becker says that the DVCS6100 has been designed for both rotary
and fixed-wing applications. The main system components of the
DVCS6100 system are the Remote Electronic Unit (REU) 6100, the
Audio Control Unit (ACU) 6100, and the optional Intercom Amplifier
IC3100. The product offers up to 8 communication transmit (TX) and
up to 8 receiver (RX) channels, an integrated warning tone
generator for up to 8 different signals, an amplifier for 2 cockpit
speakers, as well as interfaces for 2 Cockpit Voice Recorders
(CVR), and a Public Address Amplifier (PA).
Up to 6 ACU's can be operated together with one REU. Each unit can
be configured with the included software to give complete
adjustments across different on-board systems. The system also
meets the highest standards for night operation under NVG and
military conditions. The ACU6100 is available with NVIS green
(MIL-STD 3009 Green B) and white backlight, and offers emergency
and slaved mode operation.
