Pre-operational System Configuration and Testing
The following procedures should be performed by a properly trained
technician to ensure the equipment is operating properly.
Visual Inspection
To conduct a visual inspection:
1. Fill out the Field Test Data Sheet to document the following inspections and tests.
See Appendix A. Keep the completed document on file for future reference.
2. Verify all connections and fasteners are tight.
3. Ensure that all installation debris is removed from the cabinet.
4. Secure all wiring with wire-ties to provide strain relief and to neatly manage the
wiring.
5. Verify the control board clock LED is blinking.
6. Verify the charger LED is on.
Amplifier and Speaker Pre-Operation Checkout
To conduct a pre-operation checkout:
1. Measure the DC voltage at JP36. The voltage should be at least 12.5 Vdc. If the
voltage is below 12.5 Vdc, verify the green charging LED (D118) is lit. Allow the
battery time to charge before continuing with the tests.
2. Verify the microphone is plugged into the 1/4 inch jack in the control module. Turn
the microphone volume potentiometer fully counter clockwise. Press the PTT button
on the microphone and announce a test message (for example, “Testing 1,2,3,4,
Testing”). Turn the microphone volume knob clockwise until the desired level is
obtained during the test count.
3. Verify the AUD1, AUD1, ARM, and PA LEDs on the control and the green ARMED
LED on the amp lights when the test message is broadcast.
4. Test all siren signals at this time by momentarily depressing the appropriate switch
on the control board.
Adjusting the Radio Transceiver (if applicable)
NOTE
: This procedure previously completed at factory. Only readjust if radio re-
alignment is required or if the radio is being installed in the field.
Qualifications
Requires a properly trained Radio Technician.
