TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (Cont.)

ENTRY #  PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION

5

No master-to-master 

communication. 

C  terminals mis-wired 

between masters.

Communication between masters is carried on the # wire of the calling 

master to the  C  terminal of the receiving master. Verify that the  C  terminal 
of the master that is being called is actually wired to the #terminal that is 

being selected on the calling master.

6

LEF master has no 

communication or tone, but 

LED lights work. 

Wrong power supply is 

being used. 

The LED lights will operate with a power source from 6VDC - 24VDC. The 

amplifi er in the LEF unit will only work when the system is supplied 12VDC. 

Proper power supply is the PS-1225/UL/S, or PS-1215 DIN.

7

Feedback when the volume 

control is turned up over 

halfway.

E  /  —  jumpers attached 

in a multi-master system.

Remove  E   /  —   jumpers on masters and door stations in the system, 
provided there are 3 wires to the sub(s). If the sub only has 2 wires in a 

multi-master system, the jumper must remain in place for the door call-in to 

work. In this case, the side effect is the feedback problem when the audio 

volume is turned up. The only alternative is to run the proper wire to the 

door station(s) and remove all of the jumpers.

8

New installation has AC 

buzz, noise, or hum in 

system.

Too close to AC and/or 

incorrect wire was used.

If the units are too close to an AC source such as AC wiring or dimmer 

switches, move the intercom at least one stud space away from the AC 

source. Other precautions include using shielded cable. If shielded wire was 

used and there is still AC noise, tie all the shields together and ground to 

an earth ground or negative on the power supply. If more than one jacketed 

cable was used between masters, make sure the # terminals,  C   terminal, 

and the  E   terminals are all in the same jacketed cable. If multiple cables 

were used, include an  E   wire in each cable that carries a station number 
wire in it.

9

Door release does not work. 

Miswire or lack of RY-PA 

relays.

Check the  WHITE   wire coming out of the PC board for voltage. When 

depressing the Door release ( 

 ) button, 12VDC is present across  WHITE  

and  — , which activates the relay. Ensure that the  BLACK   wires of the 
RY-PA are connected to  WHITE   and either the  BROWN ,  RED , or 

ORANGE  wire for selective door release (which provides selective ground 

when the corresponding channel is selected).

10

No call tone between 

masters.

No Privacy feature on LEF-

3L. 

Features not available

The LEF-3L unit does not have the PRIVACY feature or the ability to send 

a call tone to another master station (as with the standard LEF-3). This 

function is removed to allow the switch to be used for door release instead 

of privacy.

11

Can't release the door from 

the 2nd (additional masters) 

Wiring not connected 

properly. 

If door release works from the fi rst master but not another(s), verify that 

selective door release wires are connected between masters. ( WHITE , 

BROWN ,  RED ,  ORANGE ). RY-PA's are only required at one master.

12

External Signaling device 

doesn't activate

RY-AC mis-wired

Make sure that the WHITE wire of the RY-AC is connected to the # 

terminal that is to be activating the relay, and that  RED  and  BLACK  are 

connected to 

+

 and  — , respectively.
