6 MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
The following section describes the procedures for checking the operation of your 2830R/24 diver
communicator, general maintenance procedures, and how to troubleshoot common problems.
6.1
Diver Radio Communicator Check Procedures
The following are a series of step-by-step procedures to perform a functional check of your
2830R/24 series communicator using only a headset. These steps check all communication
functions in both 2-Wire and Full Duplex (4-Wire) mode. If the communicator checks out using
these procedures, then any communication problems are probably located somewhere else in
the system.
6.1.1
Full Duplex (4-Wire) Check
This procedure checks communicator functions in Full Duplex (4-Wire)
mode.
1. Set all volume controls to the mid-scale (halfway) position.
2. Turn the SPEAKER SWITCH off to avoid acoustic feedback.
3. Turn on the communicator and verify the BATTERY CONDITION
INDICATOR is on or blinking. If the LED does not come on at all,
then replace or recharge the battery. If that does not resolve the
problem, then go to the troubleshooting section to determine the
cause.
4. Identify the microphone and headset leads. When using an Amron
headset, the microphone is the red banana plug and the headset is
the black banana plug.
5. Plug the microphone lead into the TENDER MICROPHONE (red)
jack and the headset lead into the TENDER HEADSET (black) jack.
6. Don the headset and talk into the microphone. You should be able to
hear yourself in the headset. Adjust the DIVER TO TENDER
VOLUME control and verify the level can be adjusted to a
comfortable level.
7. Move the headset microphone lead to the DIVER 1 MICROPHONE
(red) jack. Talk into the microphone. You should be able to hear
yourself in the headset. Adjust the DIVER TO TENDER VOLUME
control and verify that the level can be adjusted to a comfortable
level.
8. Move the headset lead to the DIVER 1 EARPHONE (black) jack.
Talk into the microphone. You should be able to hear yourself in the
headset.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 for the remaining diver channels.
This completes the check of the Full Duplex (4-Wire) function of the
communicator. If at any point in the test you were not able to hear
yourself in the headset as indicated by the test, refer to the
troubleshooting section to determine the cause.
