How to Diagnose Assembly Faults

Table 10 describes possible solutions for some common problems.

Table 10. Fault Diagnosis

Problem Possible

Solution

General malfunction

• Verify that power is properly connected to TB19.
• Verify proper polarity and dc voltage range (+9 to +15 V dc) at

TB19 (PWR

IN).

• Verify that the address (S1) matches the system configuration and

the unit is enabled.

• Verify that all Snaptrack™ modules are set to a unique address.
• Verify the power supply negative terminal is connected to earth

ground.

• Verify the proper polarity of the RS-485 data line for all Snaptrack™

modules connected to this unit.

• Verify that the cable assembly is properly connected between the

ADM (on J1) and the AZI PCBA.

• Verify that the CPU PCBA is properly seated on the

Distribution/Monitor PCBA.

Ground fault detector does
not respond to ground
faults on one or more
speaker loop interfaces

• Verify that the ground fault detection control header for the

corresponding speaker loop interface (refer to Table 9) is set to the
enable position (EN).

• Verify the ground fault detection is enabled in the system

configuration.

• Call for service.

Supervisory tone detector
does not respond to tone on
one or more speaker loop
interfaces

• Check the input and output cabling between the central amplifier and

the ADM.

• Verify that the central amplifier is operational.
• Check the Tone Level

R75

,

and Reference Level,

R88

for proper

adjustment.

• Verify the speaker loop supervision is enabled in the system

configuration.

• Call for service.

Central amplifier failure
contacts are not reported.

• Check cabling between the central amplifier and the ADM.
• Verify the amplifier failure contacts are enabled in the system

configuration.

• Call for service.
