What is a Public Address Set?

A Public Address Set is a fixed number of components and/or items, not all having the same basic name, which are required for reproducing sound specially designed for entertainment and/or dissemination of information. May exclude certain operating components supplied separately or already present at the point of usage, for reproducing sound specially designed for entertainment and/or dissemination of information.

What is an Intercommunication Set?

An Intercommunication Set is a complete wired unit specifically designed to provide two-way voice communication which may be amplified. It may be supplemented by signal devices, between any two stations or from one station to any number of other stations in the set.

What is a Public Address Set Control?

A Public Address Set Control (CONTROL,PUBLIC ADDRESS SET) is a component that determines the mode of operation of a PUBLIC ADDRESS SET.

What is a Microphone Station?

A Microphone Station is an item with or without a microphone specifically designed to direct sonic variations or equivalent electrical impulses to selected groups of operating stations.

What is an Intercommunication Station?

An Intercommunication Station is an item which may provide two-way amplified voice communications when connected to one or more like stations directly or via intermediate control equipment; includes loudspeaker (which may be used as a loudspeaker or microphone), signalling devices, amplifier and station selector switches. May include separate microphone, earphone, handset or headset. See also, TELEPHONE CONNECTING STATION.

What is an Intercommunication Set Control?

An Intercommunication Set Control (CONTROL,INTERCOMMUNICATION SET) is a component which determines the mode of operation of a INTERCOMMUNICATION SET.

What is a Public Address Group?

A Public Address Group is a group that provides public address facilities.

What is a Communication Matrix?

A Communication Matrix (MATRIX,COMMUNICATION) is a unit that contains coordinate switches for interconnecting a number of inlet terminals and a number of outlet terminals by crosspoints which contain a connecting device such as a relay. See also SWITCHING GROUP, AUDIO FREQUENCY; SWITCHING GROUP, RADIO FREQUENCY; RELAY ASSEMBLY. Excludes MATRIX, COMPUTER; MATRIX, CODE.

What is an Intercommunication Station Subassembly?

An Intercommunication Station Subassembly is several different items mounted on each other or linked together that form part of an INTERCOMMUNICATION STATION but do not constitute a complete operational unit.

Note-Excludes oscillator items which should be classified in FSC 5955 or 5963; fiber optic items which should be classified in Group 60; electronic modules as defined under Class 5963; and electrical cable, cord and wire assemblies, harnesses and sets, related to FSG 58 equipment (see FSC 5995). In Group 58, more than in any other group, it frequently happens that the same name is listed as an index entry in each of several classes. In addition, that name may also appear as an entry in groups other than 58. Each such entry refers to a distinctly different part or assembly, even though the different items have the same name. The listing of the same names in two or more classes indicates that, in one form, the part or assembly covered by the name is applicable to the equipment covered by one class, and in another form is applicable to the equipment covered by another class. For example, the item name CODER, AUDIO FREQUENCY is applicable to two distinctly different assemblies, one of which has an application in cryptologic equipment, covered by Class 5810, and the other in radar equipment covered by Class 5840. Consequently the name CODER, AUDIO FREQUENCY is an entry under each of the two classes. When an item identification bears a name which is indexed under more than one class of Group 58, or in Group 58 and in some other group, the item will be classified in the same class as its next higher assembly in the manner described in the Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS) Procedures Manual, DoD 4100.39-M. Also excluded from this group are data transmission and communications equipment such as terminals, sensors and other devices designed for use with a configuration of ADPE.

Additional Information for Intercommunication and Public Address Systems, Airborne

NATO Supply Class 5831 refers to Intercommunication And Public Address Systems, Airborne. This class is categorized under NATO Supply Group 58, which is dedicated to Communication, Detection, And Coherent Radiation Equipment.

Intercommunication And Public Address Systems, Airborne are specialized systems used in aircraft for communication and public address purposes. These systems are designed to facilitate clear and efficient communication between crew members and passengers on board an aircraft.

The intercommunication aspect of these systems allows for seamless communication between different individuals or groups within the aircraft. This includes communication between pilots, co-pilots, flight attendants, and other crew members. It ensures that important information can be relayed quickly and accurately, enhancing the overall safety and efficiency of the flight.

The public address feature of these systems enables announcements and messages to be broadcasted to passengers on board the aircraft. This is particularly useful for providing important instructions, updates, or emergency information to ensure the well-being and comfort of the passengers.

NATO Supply Class 5831 includes various components and equipment related to intercommunication and public address systems, such as microphones, speakers, amplifiers, control panels, and wiring. These systems are specifically designed and certified for use in airborne environments, taking into consideration factors such as noise, vibration, and space limitations.

Overall, NATO Supply Class 5831 plays a crucial role in ensuring effective communication and public address capabilities in airborne platforms, contributing to the overall operational effectiveness and safety of military and civilian aircraft.
