Rainbow Aircraft Inc. V10 Manual Do Utilizador
Normal single transceiver installation
This installation is used if you have a single V10 transceiver and will be operating in
Main/Standby mode (set this in the secondary setup menu).
This is the normal mode of operation for most installations.
You need to connect the following:
Main/Standby mode (set this in the secondary setup menu).
This is the normal mode of operation for most installations.
You need to connect the following:
●
Supply voltage (typically 12V) positive
●
Supply ground (negative)
●
Pilot microphone and headset
●
Pilot PTT contact
●
50 ohm antenna tuned to the VHF airband via 50 ohm RG58 or equivalent cable
In addition you may connect the following optional items:
●
Passenger microphone and headset
●
Passenger PTT contact
●
One or two auxiliary audio sources (or one stereo source)
●
One or two RS232 connections to EFIS systems (if used)
Dual transceiver installation
Two V10 transceivers may be connected to each other using the airtalk connection.
Using this, one receiver is set to “main only” while the other is set to “standby only”. These
modes are selected in the secondary setup menu.
The standby system is used as a receiver only. It is possible to connect headsets in parallel
with the main system as well as parallel connection of the PTT inputs. In this case it becomes
possible to use the standby system as a redundant transceiver should the main system fail for
any reason.
Using a system in this manner allows the creation of a full dual watch system (as opposed to
the dual scan system possible with a single transceiver). Two frequencies are monitored. The
audio signal from the standby system is routed to the main system “auxiliary input”. Any
auxiliary audio sources (music etc) are connected to the standby system and these signals
are routed through to the main system if no RX is taking place on the standby system.
The dual transceiver installation can be done either in a simple mode requiring minimal wiring
or it can be wired as a fully redundant system. In the latter case, it becomes necessary to be
able to switch a few signal wires using a panel mount multi-pole switch to switch between
normal operation and redundant operation for the standby system.

Other installation options
If you are using a suitable audio panel and two V10 transceivers, you can wire these
independently to the audio panel. In this case you can operate each radio either using direct
frequency selection or flip-flop frequency selection as you require (select this operating mode
in the secondary setup menu).
