VHF SYSTEM PRESENTATION
PURPOSE
The VHF system allows short distance voice

communications between different aircraft (in flight
or on ground) or between the aircraft and a ground
station.
The VHF is used for short range voice communications.
PRINCIPLE
For voice communications, the crew uses acoustic

equipment.
- side-stick radio selectors,
- loudspeakers,
- oxygen-masks,
- boomsets,
- headsets,
- hand-microphones.
The Audio Management Unit (AMU) acts as an interface
between the crew and the VHF system.
The Audio Control Panels (ACPs) allow selection of the
VHF1,VHF2, or VHF3 transceiver in transmission or
reception mode and for the control of the received
audio signal.
The Radio Management Panels (RMPs) serve to select the
VHF frequencies.
TMUCOMF02-T01 LEVEL 1
The VHF transceiver, tuned on the frequency selected

by one of the 3 Radio Management Panels (RMPs),
transforms the audio signals into VHF signals (in
transmission mode) or VHF signals into audio signals
(in reception mode).

SELCAL PHILOSOPHY
The selective calling system provides visual and aural

indication of calls received from ground stations
equipped with a coding device.
The ground station tone generator provides the assigned
aircraft code which modulates a VHF (or an HF)
transmitter.
In order to receive the SELCAL CALL, the same frequency
as on the ground must be activated in the aircraft.
SELCAL: SELective CALling system
This function is integrated in the AMU. The A/C code
can be set on the SELCAL code panel fitted in the
avionics bay.
SELCAL OPERATION
When a selcal call is received, the CALL light flashes

amber on the corresponding transmission key and a
buzzer sound is heard.
The buzzer signal is generated by the Flight Warning
Computer (FWC).
CALL flashes amber on all the ACPs when a selcal call
is received.
The CALL indication can be manually cleared by pressing
the RESET key on any ACP or it can be automatically
cleared upon transmission on the called channel.

SELCAL AND COCKPIT CALL SYSTEM D/O
GENERAL
The SELCAL and CALL functions are performed in the

Audio Management Unit (AMU) by the SELCAL/CALL card.
This card receives SELCAL calls from the ground
stations via the communication channels, a SELCAL code
from the SELCAL code panel, CALLs from the ground crew
and the attendant stations and provides visual and
aural warnings.
SELCAL OPERATION
The SELCAL/CALL card has 7 inputs connected to the

communication receiver SELCAL outputs. These inputs
are permanently scanned, and when a SELCAL signal is
present, a comparison is made with the code programmed
on the SELCAL code panel.
When the 2 codes agree, a message is sent to the various
ACPs, via the corresponding audio cards.
On the ACPs, the CALL light, corresponding to the
communication channel used, flashes amber.
At the same time, data is sent to the flight warning
computers (FWC). The FWCs send an audio call buzzer
to the loudspeakers.
The Call is cancelled using the RESET key on one ACP,
or selecting the called channel and activating the
PTT.

COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER SYSTEM PRESENTATION
GENERAL
The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) records the last 30

minutes of crew conversations and communications.
It records automatically in flight and on ground when
at least one engine is running and for 5 minutes after
the last engine is shut down.
The CVR can also operate in manual mode on the ground.
COMPONENTS
The components of the Cockpit Voice Recorder system

are:
- The Cockpit Voice Recorder, located in the aft
section of the aircraft.
- The CVR microphone, used for recording the
direct conversations between crew members in
the cockpit and all aural warnings.
It is located at the bottom of the overhead
panel.
- The recorder (RCDR) panel, providing CVR
controls for manual operation, test and erasure
of the recording.
It is located on panel 21VU on the overhead
panel.
- The CVR HEADSET jack mounted on the cockpit

GROUND CONTROL
The CVR is automatically energized in flight and on
ground when at least one engine is running and for 5
minutes after the last engine is shut down.
For manual control, on the ground, the CVR has to be
energized by pressing the ground control (GND CTL)
pushbutton on the recorder (RCDR) panel.
CVR TEST
When the CVR TEST pushbutton is pressed, either on
ground or in flight, a test tone is generated 4 times
for approximately 0.8 seconds.
A headset connected to the CVR HEADSET jack mounted
on the cockpit maintenance panel enables monitoring.
CVR ERASE
The CVR ERASE pushbutton is used for manual erasure
of the recording, only on ground with parking brake
applied.
It must be pressed for at least 2 seconds.
For complete manual erasure of the recording, the CVR
has to be energized.

FAA/CAA OPTION
A jumper strap fitted on the AMU enables FAA/CAA

recording selection.
In FAA mode, only communications sent out by the crew
members are recorded. This is obtained by recording
of side tone signal : Audio output.
In CAA mode, the Captain, First Officer, and Third
Occupant microphones are "HOT" (PTT not activated) at
all times for voice/noise pick-up to reinforce the
sounds picked-up by the area mike.
However, in CAA mode, as in FAA mode, the signal
received in the crews earphones is recorded on the

DEU MOUNTS
The mounts for type A and type B DEUs are basically

the same. Due to index pins it is not possible to
install a type A DEU on a type B DEU mount.
The mounts for the type A DEUs have the index pins on
the outer side of the slot and the type B DEUs on the
inner side of the slot.
On each DEU mount there are Address Coding Switches.
In case of a mount change the old code must be selected.
A Bus termination resistor is installed on the last
DEU mount of each line, for impedance matching.
NOTE: A table giving the address code is placed close

to the mount.

The levels of priority and the defined options are
programmed in the CABIN Assignment Module (CAM).
PA LEVEL
The volume of PA announcements can be automatically

adjusted if several conditions are met.
It is the active Director which establishes the level
according to the software, sending the level setting
to each individual type A DEU. Then the type A DEUs
perform the required amplification.
When an engine is running, the PA volume is increased
automatically by +6dB.
The PA volume is also increased by +4dB in the event

CAM LAYOUT SELECTION
The CABIN PROGRAMMING function is protected by an

access code.
Note that each code digit is marked by a * sign.
The CAM LAYOUT SELECTION function enables selection
of a new CAM layout. When activating the CIDS, the
last selected layout is loaded from the CAM into the
DIRECTOR memory.
The programmed layouts are marked with a "<" or ">"
sign. The number of the last selected layout flashes.
A new layout can be selected by pressing the
corresponding labelled key.
Then this number flashes and the layout is downloaded
into the director.
The CIDS system will then be completely updated.
The CAM shown here includes three fixed layouts 1 and
2 (a maximum of 3 fixed layouts can be programmed) and
the modifiable layout M.
If layout 1 or 2 are loaded and modified, they are
saved into layout M.
Layout M is now loaded.
If no CAM is available, the last downloaded LAYOUT is
maintained in the Director.
If no CAM is available and the last downloaded layout
is defective, the CIDS works with its own layout.
In these cases, the failure message "CIDS FAIL" appears
on the SYSTEM STATUS page.

STEPS TO MODIFY A SELECTED CABIN LAYOUT
- Load the desired layout 1 - 2 - 3 - M into

director (Example "2").
Select "ZONING" on the PTP.

- By programming steps, the layout data (cabin
zones, no-smoker zones, class divider) is
modified in the memory of the director (in the
RAM).
- After completing the programming, press "RET"
on the PTP, PTP displays "PARAMETER SAVING".
- Note: If "RET" is NOT pressed, the system will
operate with the modified data, until a
power interruption causes a restart of
the system. In this case the modified
data will be lost and the old layout "2"
will again control the function of the
CIDS.
- This stores the modified data in the CAM, layout
"M" and in the memory of the director (in the
EEPROM).
- Reselection of layouts 1 - 2 - 3 is
possible, but "M" holds the modified "2"
version, until a new programming is made.
