Troubleshooting
The following table lists some hints to aid technicians in troubleshooting.
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 front cover of the station
and attaching a Model 10440 Series extension ribbon 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.
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 ribbon 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
ribbon cable assembly 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.
