PASSENGER CALL AND ADDRESSING

GENERAL
At Cabin Intercommunication Data System (CIDS) power-up a general call reset will be initiated. Any call initiated from a
passenger seat or a lavatory activates aural and visual indications. If no passenger call is made during boarding time, all seat row numbering lights will be steadily illuminated. If a passenger call is made during boarding time, the respective seat row numbering light will flash.
PASSENGER TO CABIN ATTND CALL FROM PASSENGER SEAT (ONE CABIN ZONE)
When a passenger (PAX) seat PAX call pushbutton is pressed on the Passenger Service Unit (PSU), the following actions occur:
– the associated seat row numbering light comes on,
– a high 1 chime is broadcast over all ATTeNDant and PAX loudspeakers,
– the blue light on all Area Call Panels (ACPs) comes on steady.
If several pushbuttons are pressed simultaneously, a maximum of three chimes sound. The call indications associated with an activated pushbutton are reset when the same pushbutton is pressed a second time.


PASSENGER TO CABIN ATTND CALL FROM LAVATORIES (ONE CABIN ZONE)
Basic version: When a lavatory call pushbutton is pressed, the following actions occur:
– the integrated call light comes on,
– a chime is broadcast over all ATTNDs and PAX loudspeakers,
– the amber light comes on steady on the respective ACP,
– the respective lavatory call amber light comes on.
Pressing the respective lavatory call pushbutton a second time resets the associated call indications.
OPTIONS
The following options could be embodied upon customer request:
– two zone PAX to cabin ATTND calls,
– three zone PAX to cabin ATTND calls,
– PAX to cabin ATTND call via cabin ATTND station loudspeakers only,
– central reset of PAX calls for all zones from the Forward Attendant Panel (FAP),
– central reset of PAX calls zone wise, from the FAP and Additional Attendant Panel (AAP),
– PAX call indication on Attendant Indication Panels (AIP),
– chime inhibition for PAX to cabin ATTND calls.
Any of these options, once adopted, will be integrated in the Cabin Assignment Module (CAM).
2/3 CABIN ZONES
When a passenger seat PAX call pushbutton is pressed on the PSU, the following actions occur:
– the blue visual indication of a PAX to cabin ATTND call will be effective on the ACP assigned to the PAX compartment where the
call has been initiated,
– the aural call annunciation (1 high chime) will be broadcast via the cabin and ATTND loudspeakers assigned to the PAX compartment where the call has been initiated.
PASSENGER TO CABIN ATTND CALL VIA CABIN ATTND STATION LOUDSPEAKERS ONLY
The visual call annunciation will be effective on the ACP assigned to the PAX compartment where the call has been initiated. The aural call annunciation will be broadcast via the cabin ATTND loudspeakers assigned to the PAX compartment where the call has been initiated.
CENTRAL RESET OF PASSENGER CALLS FOR ALL ZONES FROM THE FAP
A specific central reset button for all PAX calls from all zones is installed on the FAP. Both aural and visual indications are reset when this pushbutton is pressed.
CENTRAL RESET OF PASSENGER CALLS ZONE WISE FROM THE FAP AND AAP
A central reset button for the forward section is installed on the FAP. A central reset button for the aft section is installed on the AAP.
PASSENGER CALL INDICATION ON AIP
The seat row number with a LH or RH reference or the location of the respective lavatory will be displayed in clear text on the AIPs. A second call received will be displayed after reset of the first call, if more than one call and if designed for any AIP. The respective indications disappear when the call has been reset by pushing the CALL button again. If two or three zones PAX call is selected, the individual calls will be indicated only on the AIPs which are assigned to that particular PAX compartment call zone.
CHIME INHIBITION FOR PASSENGER TO CABIN ATTND CALLS
A CHIME INHIBIT button installed on the FAP for chime inhibition. The button must be pushed in order to inhibit the call chimes. If the button is pushed again the call chime is activated again. Only the chime is inhibited, visual indications remain unaffected.
CALL FROM PCU
If a Passenger Entertainment System (PES) is installed on the aircraft with the Passenger Services System (PSS) embodied, a PAX to cabin ATTND call can be initiated from the Passenger Control Unit (PCU). The results of this call are the same as the one defined when the call is initiated from the PSU with all possible options.
