3.9.4 OWS volume adjustment
All volume adjustments are made on the Audio Amplifier Module via the trimpot VR1 only. This
volume adjustment is given a reference designator, VR1 and named
“VOLUME” on all amplifier
boards. This trimpot, VR1, is located in both Figure 23 and Figure 25 do not use VR2 for adjusting the
volume at any time. VR2 is only used for factory calibration purposes.
The following procedures describe how to adjust the volume.
a) Manually turn on the evacuation tone.
b) Adjust the trimpot clockwise a little at a time to increase the volume on the audio amplifier.
c) Then test or measure if the required audio level is met.
d) Repeat b) to c) as necessary.
