Troubleshooting
The following table lists some of the most common difficulties encountered in Page/Party ® systems.
Included are some troubleshooting hints to aid in remedying these problems.
Problem Solution
Any problem with station
performance occurs. Review all the steps of the installation, ensuring that you have correctly
followed ALL steps. Check all the terminations on the board and in the
line balance assembly before proceeding to any other adjustments.
Integral speaker level requires
adjustment.
1. Adjust the volume control behind the nameplate on the front panel.
2. Replace the speaker or driver.
Outgoing conversation level
requires adjustment. 1. Adjust the microphone gain by removing the amplifier and attaching
a Model 10440 Series Extension Maintenance Cable between the
connectors. Use a small standard screwdriver (
1 /
8
-inch blade) to
slowly turn potentiometer (R17) on the rear chassis of amplifier until
reaching the proper microphone gain. Remove the cable and re-
install the amplifier.
2. Replace the handset microphone.
Incoming conversation level
requires adjustment. 1. Use a small standard screwdriver to adjust the receiver volume
control on the rear of the amplifier using the extension cable
assembly as described above.
2. Replace the receiver element in the handset.
Feedback/distortion (a hum or
buzz on the line) occurs
during all Page/Party
® station
operation.
1. Adjust the receiver sidetone on the rear of the amplifier using the
extension cable as described above.
2. The line may be improperly terminated. Inspect the system cable for
loose connections, shorts, and grounds. Line balance assembly
connections are critical.
3. Replace the line balance assembly.
Feedback occurs only during
page. Use the muting feature in the amplifier enclosure at the terminal blocks.
Connect the violet wire at terminal 8 to terminal 7.
Sidetone (how the operator
hears his own voice) requires
adjustment.
1. Adjust the receiver sidetone at the amplifier, using the extension
cable as described above.
2. Check that the line balance assembly resistors are connected
properly. (See GAI-Tronics Publication 42004-139 or 42004-140
for 24 V dc systems.)
Crosstalk occurs. One or more system cable pairs may be improperly terminated. Visually
inspect the system cable connections for accidental crossing of the cable
pairs or grounds.
