Troubleshooting 

Common Faults 

A  very  high  percentage  of  calls  to  our  technical  support  number,  regarding  new 
installations, are resolved to faulty wiring. The reasons for these are various: -  

Broken cores, especially short links, sometimes broken inside the insulation! 
Connectors clamped onto the insulation instead of copper. 
Wire in the wrong side of a rising clamp connection, the clamps need to be unscrewed 
far enough to stop the wire going “underneath”. 
Shorts or opens due to cables having been stapled or nailed through. 
A common fault is wiring a connector left to right instead of right to left, or one or more 
twisted pairs the wrong way round. 

Tip

.  The heads of screws on connectors are not a reliable means of making a connection 

with a meter, try pushing the probe into the wire entry point. 

Quick Fault Reference 

These tables provide a quick indication of the possible fault. 
 

Power Problems 

Apartment station resetting 
(The three indicators lights 
show the power on sequence). 

  Power supply intermittent short or overload. 

  More than 1 extension enabled for auto display. 

  Lock output short-circuit; see ‘Lock Problems’. 

28V LED does not light on 
controller. 

  Temporarily remove connection to 28V+ output.  If it 

now comes on there is a short on the apartment 
station wiring. 

  12V input connections are reversed. 

PS4 output voltage fluctuating, 
meter reading unstable. 

  Output overload is causing current limit to operate. 

  See Lock Problems below. 

 

Call Problems 

Apartment station does not ring or 
flash when called. 

  No power to apartment station; check that red 

lamp illuminates when mute is touched. 

  Data wiring has a fault, Data A or Data B 

connection broken. 

  0V to controller missing on separately powered 

apartment station. 

  Pushbutton wiring error, try short length at 

controller. 

No extension apartment station rings 
or flashes when called. 

  Data wiring has a fault, Data A or Data B 

connection broken. 

 

Green Lock light on apartment 
station flashes once when called. 

  Apartment station set to extension with no 

master present or responding.
