TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

SYMPTOM

CAUSE

SOLUTION 

Channel access 
button not lit or 
too dim. 

(a) No power. 

(b) Insufficient power

(a) Check that power 
supply is operating 
and connected to the 
PIC-4704 

(b) Increase power 
capacity or connect 
fewer stations on each 
cable run. 

Access button 
won’t light amber 
when engaged at 
any station. 

(a) Excessive DC load 
on affected IFB line. 

(b) IFB line shorted in 
cabling. 

(a) Isolate and replace 
faulty module on 
affected line. 

(b) Isolate and repair 
cable. 

Access button 
remains lit in 
amber after being 
released. 

IFB line not 
termintated. 

Insure that station 
connections to 
PIC-4704 are intact. 

No cue from an 
AX-704 station. 

(a) Associated 
MA-704 not 
operating. 

(b) Faulty or missing 
connection to 
MA-704 or AX-704 
unit. 

(a) Insure that 
MA-704 is connected 
to a PIC-4704. 

(b) Verify connection 
of extension bus to 
affected AX-704 unit. 

Hum or buzz from 
program. (program 
control affects 
loudness) 

Mis-connection of 
program source to 
output. 

Program inputs are 
balanced. If 
single-ended source is 
used, one of inputs 
must be referenced to 
common.
