Table 24 Troubleshooting

Problem

Action

No Radio Decode

•  Unit was not armed before sending a DTMF function code 

or unit is not programmed to recognize that particular code 

sequence or signal is not being received properly.

•  Verify programming is correct. Check the received audio signal 

quality at the RX test pin on the front of the control 

card

.

No Two-tone decode  Decoder not programmed. Check radio connections if external (see 

the wiring diagram). 

Check for proper C/D polarity setting. Insure that radio is working 

properly by using a service monitor to inject a strong, clean signal. 

Check transmitter deviation.

Low output from 

speaker array

Check battery voltage. Check speaker impedance (see the 

Maintenance section).

Also, check signal indicators on amplifiers during a function.  If 

indicators are off, remove amplifier for service.

Function stops 

before normal 

timeout

Batteries may require further charging. Check battery voltage under 

load. Check charger output.

Local PA feeds back Lower PA volume using knob above MIC connector.
Local PA has little or 

no output

Hold MIC close to mouth. Increase PA volume using knob above 

MIC connector.

Batteries not holding 

charge

Check that charger fuses are intact and check charger output.

Load test batteries.

EOWS*612 does not 

rotate

Check that the rotation relay on the backplane motherboard is 

operating (indicated by LED D2). Also check fuses F1 and F2 on 

the backplane motherboard.

Radio PA takes too 

long to timeout

Check radio for proper operation of squelch.

CD LED should light while carrier is present

Landline activation 

inputs do not function

Verify minimum 0.5 second contact closure is applied to JP14 on 

the backplane motherboard.

Options

This section describes the options you can use with the UV controller.

Model UVARM

The UV supports an optional Audio and Relay Output Module (UVARM) that provides 

three audio outputs and four relay outputs to enable the UV to connect to existing PA 

systems or other auxiliary devices. The outputs consist of a balanced 33 ohm, a balanced 

600 ohm, a selectable 600 ohm balanced or single-ended line level output and four SPDT 

relay outputs. The level of each audio output is independently adjustable. Each audio and 

relay output is individually addressable allowing each output to be activated at different 

times.
