Product description

PES = Passenger Entertainment System, (audio channel and volume selection at the seat PCU).
PSS = Passenger Service System, (Reading and Cabin Crew Call Light/Chime at the seat PCU).
USB = 2.1AMPs USB Power embedded into the PCU or as a stand-alone USB Power Port.

The PCU can be arranged with any combination or any single feature.

The Customer Airline may select any one of or any combination of these features depending on what it wants to offer its passengers and if the target aircraft are twin aisle or single aisle. The “Passenger Experience” consists largely of the features that are contained on the “Passenger Control Unit,” or PCU. The main features of the PCU are:

The main features of the PCU are:

• The USB charging port
• The Flight Attendant call button
• The Flight Attendant call reset button
• The Reading Light control button
• The Audio controls
• The key pad back-light
• Intuitive maintenance procedures.

When a passenger activates the PCU the key pad illuminates providing positive guidance. A passenger might desire to call the flight attendant. When the flight attendant call request is activated, the seat call lamp is activated above the seat group. In addition, the PCU enters a call active state in which the back-light gently pulses to provide positive feedback and indicates to the flight attendant which passenger in the seat group initiated the request. When the call request is activated by a passenger seated in a middle or window seat, the Flight Attendant can locally reset the request from the aisle seat of the group to avoid unnecessary disturbance of intervening passengers.

In addition to the necessary functions of flight attendant call, call reset and overhead reading light, the PCU also supplies a convenient and powerful 2.1AMPs USB Power charging port for personal electronic devices such as iPads, mobile phones and other USB compatible devices. The PSS system is controlled by the cabin crew from the Flight Attendant Control Panel typically located at Door L1. The control panel also activates the BITE system.
