Control of MS-61B recorder through PU MS-61B
The PU MS-61B control panel enables crew interaction with the onboard recorder during aircraft operation. Through the panel, the crew can select operating modes, control recording activation and monitor recorder status indication. The recording unit itself is installed separately, while the control panel remains accessible to the flight crew on the instrument panel or in the cockpit equipment area.
PU MS-61B in the onboard recording system
The PU MS-61B works as an interface unit between the crew and the MS-61B onboard magnetic recorder. The recorder system is used for cockpit voice and audio signal recording, including speech signals and information received from onboard communication circuits. The complete system may include the recording unit in an armored enclosure, the control panel and connecting cables, depending on aircraft configuration and supply documentation.
MS-61B recording system operation
The associated MS-61B recorder system uses a steel wire recording medium and is designed for continuous recording of speech signals and time information. The system receives audio signals from microphone, radio and aircraft intercom sources and records them for later playback, analysis or investigation. The control panel supports operational control, while the recording unit performs the actual recording process.
Installation of PU MS-61B “Lira”
The PU MS-61B control panel is installed on the flight crew instrument panel or in the cockpit control area, according to the aircraft installation documentation. The panel is intended for remote control of the recorder, while the main recording unit may be installed in a protected location or equipment compartment. Correct operation depends on the condition of the control panel, recorder unit, connecting cables, power supply and aircraft communication circuits.
Identification and ordering of PU MS-61B
The product may be referenced as PU MS-61B, PU MS-61B, MS-61-PU or PU MS-61B “Lira”. These names refer to the control panel used with the MS-61B onboard recorder. For correct supply, it is useful to specify whether the request concerns the control panel only or the complete MS-61B recorder system with recording unit, armored enclosure, cables and documentation.
