3.0 INSTALLATION

The M760 has a simple physical installation for aircraft instrument panels. Select or cut a 57mm (2 1/4") instrument hole for mounting (refer panel drilling template in section 9.0).

For panel locations which do not afford sufficient space behind the radio to reach the connectors, Microair recommends connecting the wiring harness and coax cable before fitting the radio to the hole in the panel.

natural_image Close-up of a hand inserting a metallic mechanical component into a metal housing (no visible text or symbols)

Present the M760 to the rear face of this hole. The stepped round face will insert through the hole, and should appear flush with the front of the instrument panel when correctly positioned. Rotate the M760 to align the four M4 machine screws.

Loose fit all four M4 screws. For installations where the existing instrument panel screw holes are 1/8", the holes will need to be enlarged to 5/32" to fit the M4 machine screws.

Insert and tighten all four M4 machine screws. The M760 requires no rear support, the M4 screws provide all of the physical mounting required.

The M760 should be located in the aircraft within view of the pilot seated in the pilot-in-command position, and afford this pilot good access to the front face controls.

Do NOT oversize the mounting holes in the front face of the radio, to an imperial size. Drilling will damage internal components.

Do NOT replace the M4 machine screws supplied with the radio with longer screws. Over-length screws will touch or even crush internal components and cause damage.

Either of these actions will void the warranty

Strip the insulation back 2mm (1/16"), and "tin" the exposed conductor with solder. Slide a 5mm length of 1.6mm (1/16") heatshrink tubing over the end of the wire. After checking the wiring diagram for the correct pin number, push the "tinned" end into the "tinned" solder cup, and solder into place. Check the soldered joint has been made, by gently pulling on the wire. Slide the heatshrink tubing down over the soldered pin, to completely cover the conductor.

3.2 COAX TERMINATION

The coax is cut to length and terminated in a BNC connector. Soldered or crimp type connectors are preferred to the solderless variety, as they have lower signal loss and better shielding.

Microair recommends using only soldered or crimped BNC connectors.

Solderless BNC connectors are NOT recommended, as their performance is not good enough for VHF transmissions.

Microair M760 - COAX TERMINATION - 1

text_image 6.5mm (1/4") 3.2mm (1/8")

3.3 ANTENNA

For certified aircraft the M760 should only be operated with a TSO compliant antenna. The antenna may be 14 wave whip or 12 wave dipole, using 50ohm coaxial cable and a BNC connector for connection. The VSWR should ideally be less than 2:1 across the 118.000MHz to 136.975MHz airband.

For non-certified aircraft using a non-TSO compliant antenna, the VSWR must be checked to ensure the ratio does NOT exceed 3:1 on 118.000MHz, 127.000MHz, and 136.975Mhz. The M760 will tolerate a VSWR of 5:1 without injury to the transceiver, but the performance is severely deteriorated.

Microair M760 - ANTENNA - 1

text_image SWR AVG MAX MIN MAX RANGE 200W 20W 3W FUNCTION POWER POWER CAL SWR FWD REF OFF REVEX SWR & POWER METER W560 16-525MHz

Do not use the stubbie "rubber duckie" antennas meant for use with handheld radios.

3.3.1 METAL SKIN AIRFRAMES

For metal skin aircraft a 14 wave whip is the easiest antenna to fit. Ensure that the antenna base and the coax shield are firmly grounded to the skin of the airframe, on the inside of the aircraft. Ensure that any anti-corrosion product, which may be used to seal the exterior surface, does not isolate the antenna base from the airframe. For best performance the whip should be straight and vertical, when mounted on the airframe.

Refer to the Microair Avionics website www.microair.com.au for more detail on antennas suitable for metal skin airframes.

3.3.2 NON-METAL SKIN AIRFRAMES

For non-metal airframes, a 14 wave whip may still be used, but a ground plane must be installed, on the inside face of the aircraft skin. The ground plane should ideally be circular, and as a minimum, have a diameter of half the height of the whip. The ground plane should be fabricated from a lightweight metal, eg thin aluminium sheet. For best performance the whip element should be as vertical as possible.

An alternative antenna for non-metal airframes is the Ground Plane independent dipole. This antenna is physically similar to the 14 wave whip, but has a small flexible stub antenna pointing downwards from the antenna base. The stub section of the antenna takes the place of the ground plane, and simplifies installation.

Avoid mounting locations which position the antenna parallel to nearby metallic airframe structures such as tube framing, brackets, ribs, or frames. Metal objects which are close and parallel to the antenna will adversely affect performance.

If the installation has two radios, the two antennas should be separated horizontally by at least the length of the antenna. In the case of airband antennas this should be approx 1m (3ft). The further apart the better.

Beware of fabric surfaces with silver dope finishes. The silver dope is a conductive surface, and will screen antennas which are mounted internally.

Refer to the Microair Avionics website www.microair.com.au for more detail on antennas suitable for non-metal skin airframes.

3.4 POWER

The M760 is designed to operate on a 14V aircraft electrical supply. The radio will operate down to 10.7V on receive.

Microair M760 - POWER - 1

It is unlikely that a power supply operating below 11V would have sufficient power to allow clear transmissions.

The M760 will draw up to 1.8A when transmitting.

Low power will produce a BURRRRRRRRR signal.

NEVER operate the M760 on voltage exceeding 16V.

Microair M760 - POWER - 2

Damage will occur if the M760 is operated from power supplies which exceed 16V, even for very short (transient) periods.

Operation on a supply which exceeds 16V will void the warranty.

The M760 has a FET switch and internal fuse to protect against reverse polarity. If reverse polarity is applied the internal fuse (4A) will blow. Damage however may not be limited to the fuse.

Microair M760 - POWER - 3

Please ensure that the correct polarity is observed. The most common reason for reverse polarity, is misreading the pin assignments on the DB-15 connector.

Applying reverse polarity to the M760 will void the warranty

Check your wiring! Always check the voltage at the DB15 BEFORE it is plugged into the radio.

Use a multi-meter to check the voltage at the following pins:

Pin 9

Negative

Pin 11

3.4.1 BACKLIGHTING

The backlighting is activated, by taking input supply voltage to pin 8. This line can be individually switched outside the DB15 connector to enable the backlighting to be turned off.

3.4.2 POWER SAVINGS

For installations, operating from a battery only, Microair recommends saving battery power by NOT wiring the backlighting – do NOT wire pin 8. The backlighting will draw an additional 80mA of power. This nearly doubles the standby power demand.

Not connecting the backlighting can effectively double the running time on your battery.

3.5 MICROPHONE

The M760 can be operated with an Electret Insert or Amplified Dynamic microphone. These alternatives cover most aviation headsets and hand microphones.

When the PTT is pressed both microphones are live. To reduce background noise, the M760 can be installed with relays across the mic lines and the PTT line, to allow only one microphone at a time to operate.

3.5.1 ELECTRET

Electret microphones are the most common microphone in use on aviation headsets. They are small in size, and can have noise cancelling capability. It is important to wire the Electret microphone with the correct polarity. The Electret will only work if the positive and negative are wired correctly.

Electrets are a high signal device, and do not normally require amplification. Some headset manufacturers elect to use an amplifier to improve the Electret's response, and to provide some noise filtering.

3.5.2 DYNAMIC

Dynamic microphones are a low signal device. A dynamic microphone will not operate directly with an M760 radio, because of the low signal produced.

For operators wanting to use a dynamic microphone, a mic amplifier must be used. Microair recommends the installation of the Microair MD-01a amplifier. This amp is compatible with 150-600 ohm dynamic microphones.

Refer to the Microair Avionics website www.microair.com.au for further details on microphone types, and wiring configurations.

3.6 SPEAKER

Microair recommends using a speaker of 8 ohms impedance, rated at a minimum of 5 watts. The speaker is wired to the speaker line (pin 15). Do NOT attempt to connect a speaker to the headphone line (pin 14). Likewise do NOT attempt to connect the headphones to the speaker line.

Microair recommends the SP01 Box Speaker. The SP01 has a durable thick film plastic cone of 8 ohms, and is rated at 5 watts. The SP01 is fitted with a mounting bracket, and 1.5m of screened cable.

Check your speaker installation by ensuring the audio is clear all the way up to full volume.

Microair M760 - SPEAKER - 1

3.7 INTERNAL VOX INTERCOM

The M760 is fitted with a VOX intercom feature which utilises the sidetone facility of the radio. The VOX threshold level is controlled in software by use of the VOX Adjust Mode. See section 5.4 to adjust the internal VOX intercom.

3.8 HEADSET ADJUSTMENT

It is important to ensure that the sidetone and mic gain are set to the correct levels, for best headset performance. The sidetone level will set the intercom's headset volume. The mic gain will set the level of microphone sensitivity for each headset.

3.8.1 SIDETONE

Adjust the sidetone if necessary for good volume level in the headset using the intercom. Ensure that the headset volume adjust (typically a knob located on the headset earcup) is set to mid range, so the volume came be adjusted up/down by the user.

3.8.2 MIC GAIN

Adjust the microphone gain if necessary for best audio “quality” not volume level, when transmitting. The M760Q is fitted with separate mic gain trimpots to allow for adjustment of individual headsets.

Punch the black dot carefully with a screwdriver blade, to expose the slotted plastic head of the trimpot, located approx 3mm (1/8") below the surface of the casing. The second mic gain position is not marked, refer to the drawing below for location.

Note the position of the slot before making adjustments. Use a small flat bladed screwdriver to make adjustments before testing with a headset again. The total movement of all trimpots is only 300 degrees (4/5 ^th turn). The factory setting positions the slot of the trimpots at 10 O'clock.

Microair M760 - MIC GAIN - 2

Do not attempt to adjust the modulation or power output. These adjustments can only be set correctly by a qualified technician. Adjustment of the power output or modulation by anyone other than Microair or their approved agent will void the warranty.

3.9 EXTERNAL INTERCOM

Where the M760 is to be installed with an external intercom, the internal VOX intercom should be disabled in the Program Mode Menu. See section 6.2.

Wire only a single mic line (pin 1), along with the PTT (pin 7), the headphone (pin 14), and a ground line (pin 11 or 12) to the intercom. Follow the intercom manufacturer's instructions for further installation.

Wire the remote memory line (pin 13), directly to the remote memory button location. This line is NEVER connected to the external intercom. Refer to the Microair Avionics website www.microair.com.au for more details and wiring diagrams with commonly used intercoms.

3.10 DUAL COMM INSTALLATION

Microair M760 - DUAL COMM INSTALLATION - 1

text_image COM2 COM1

Where two M760's are to be installed in the aircraft, the interlock or suppression lines must be installed. Each interlock line shall be wired from (pin 4) on the first radio to the PTT line (pin 7) on the second radio, and vice versa.

The interlock lines allow a radio to sense when the other radio is transmitting, and deactivate to prevent any chance of damage, or allow distortion noise to occur.

Microair recommends the use of a clearly labelled rotary selector or multipole switch to switch the microphone and PTT lines Refer to the Microair Avionics website for additional wiring diagrams (www.microair.com.au).

Microair M760 - DUAL COMM INSTALLATION - 3

Switching from comm1 to comm2 will move all radio functions including intercom from one radio to the other. Ensure that both radios have the internal VOX intercom set up correctly

3.11 AUXILIARY AUDIO

The M760 Q can accept a line level audio input via pin 6 of the DB15 connector. The volume of this audio can be set by the auxiliary equipment, but will be muted down to a low level when the VOX intercom is triggered, or a signal is received. The auxiliary audio will remain muted for approx 1 second after intercom or receiver activity has finished, before rising again to the set volume.

Microair M760 - AUXILIARY AUDIO - 1

Do not attempt to feed the speaker output of a car stereo directly into pin 6. The audio level is too high and will damage the audio system of the M760, and void the warranty. Input only line (headphone) level audio.

3.12 DATA INTERFACE (SL30)

The M760Q is SL30 compatible, and allows the user to change the active and standby channels from EFIS equipment. The M760Q can also be put in and out of dual monitor mode if the EFIS equipment supports this type of function.

Some types of EFIS equipment do not support SL30 in both directions, ie the user can change channels at the EFIS and the M760 will update, but the user cannot change channels at the radio and have the EFIS update.

Microair M760 - DATA INTERFACE (SL30) - 1

The M760Q supports all modes of SL30 except the frequency list upload function. All other SL30 comm commands are supported in both directions.

The SL30 data connection is made via an RS232 data interface:

3.12.1 TRANSCEIVER FUNCTION

In both the set standby and set active commands the “a” field represents the transceiver function:

N = Normal Transceiver receives and transmits on the active.

M = Monitor Transceiver receives on both active and standby, and transmits on active.

0 = Unchanged Transceiver function setting not changed

Hence it is possible for the external equipment (if it supports these commands fully) to change the active and standby frequencies, and switch the M760Q in and out of monitor mode.

3.12.2 TRANSCEIVER STATUS

The Comm Transceiver Status command contains the "a" field for the transceiver's status:

R = Normal receive Normal receiver mode - monitor function inactive

M = Monitor service Monitor function active

T = Transmit enabled PTT button is down - transmitting

S = Stuck mic Transceiver transmitting for longer than 45 seconds

F = Comm failure Transceiver inoperative

Microair M760 - TRANSCEIVER STATUS - 1

IMPORTANT NOTE

After 45 seconds of transmission, the M760Q will flash the red LED TX annunciator. During this period the transceiver status will default to S (stuck mic).

The M760Q Frequency Compiler software can be used to connect to a PC or laptop with a windows operating system (XP or later version).

The user can quickly compile channel lists and write them to the M760Q. Refer to the Microair Avionics website for full details of the M760 PC application (www.microair.com.au).

3.14 NOISE SUPPRESSION

After installation there may be unwanted noise present in the radio's audio system. There a variety of sources for this noise, but they usually fall into one of two categories:

• Electro-Magnetic Induction (EMI)
• Radio Frequency Induction (RFI)

3.14.1 POWER FILTER

EMI typically affects radio equipment by inducing noise on to the power supply. Microair recommends the installation of a power filter on the power wire to the M760. A simple line filter is sufficient to ensure that the voltage is smooth, and causes no interference to the radio. If engine noise can be heard, and it rises and falls with the RPM, install a power filter.

Refer to the Microair Avionics website www.microair.com.au for more information on aircraft electrical systems.

3.14.2 FERRITE CHOKES

RFI typically affect radio equipment by radiating RF noise into the wiring. The most vulnerable are the microphone, headphone, speaker, and power lines. The instance of RFI can be reduced by installing ferrite chokes on the wiring harness.

Locations for best effect are on the wiring harness immediately behind the DB15 connector at the radio, and on the microphone/headphone lines just behind the headset jacks.

natural_image Two black plastic cylindrical objects with cutouts, isolated on white background (no text or symbols)

Another form of RFI is the impulse noise from equipment like strobe lighting. This equipment can create large impulses on the power supply which have RF components.

These signals can radiate to adjacent wiring to create noise. The best defence here is a filter capacitor on the power input to this type of equipment. A 0.01uF ceramic capacitor with a 3KV voltage rating is most suitable for this task.

4.1 PRIORITY SWITCH

The priority switch is a push down switch. When pushed down briefly, the radio will go into channel mode, and select the frequency stored in memory 99. Memory 99 should be considered the priority channel, which the user can quickly select when required. Memory 99 must be programmed for the priority switch to operate. Memory 99 is set at the factory as the international distress frequency 121.500MHz. Memory 99 can be programmed the same way as any of the other channels; hence the factory default can be edited. Refer to section 6.5 to edit this memory.

The priority channel (memory 99) can be edited but not be deleted.

4.2 VOLUME / SQUELCH KNOB

The M760 is turned on, by rotating the volume knob. A positive “click” is heard and felt at the start of the rotation to indicate the on/off position. The volume is increased by rotating the knob clockwise, and decreased by rotating counter clockwise.

The squelch is adjusted by rotating the ring behind the volume knob. There is no automatic level set for the squelch, however the ring affords a large manual adjustment to suit all situations. Rotate the ring clockwise to increase the squelch threshold, and counter clockwise to lower the threshold. When the squelch is “broken” (ie the static hiss can be heard), the annunciator LED lights green.

The user can use the frequency adjust knob to scroll alphabetically through the memory channels

5.4 VOX MODE

The M760 has a digitally controlled VOX intercom. VOX stands for “voiced activated”, which means the intercom function will trigger automatically when the user starts speaking into the microphone.

It is important to set the threshold level to trigger on the microphone.

If the level is too low, the microphones will always be on, and the user will hear the cabin noise continuously (hot mic).

If the level is too high, the use will not be able to easily trigger the microphones (shout to activate).

IMPORTANT NOTE

For installation where an external intercom is to be used, the M760's internal VOX intercom MUST be turned OFF.

6.3 MONITOR SETUP

MONITOR setup allows the user to adjust the sample interval of the monitor function, which allows the user to detect radio traffic on both the active and standby frequencies. When receiving a signal on the standby channel, the M760 will sample the active channel regularly for signal. The MON value represents the rate of the sample.

Background:

The M760 can monitor the active and standby frequencies, but priority is given to the active. When a signal is received on the standby frequency the active frequency is sampled to see is there is a signal present.

The M760 will quickly change channels to check the active for signal even if the standby is receiving a signal. The user will perceive this sample action as a small click in the received audio on the standby channel.

If no signal is found the receiver returns to the standby frequency. When a signal is detected on the active frequency, the M760 will lock to the active even if there is a signal present on the standby frequency.
