TROUBLESHOOTING

I.

  Overload Indicator

a.

  When the Overload Indicator

 

is illuminated, it is an indication that there is a short in wiring connections to the 

microphone.  Check the following:

1)

 Check that each wire is connected to their proper terminals See steps 1 and 2 of  connections 

page 5.

2)

 Check that there are no reversed or crossed wire connections.

3)

 Check that none of the wires are touching each other or shorted to ground.

b.

  Turn ON power back to the unit after checking all wiring connections.  If the Overload Indicator

[5]

 no longer 

lights, proceed to step 2 of the operation.  If the Overload Indicator

 

remains illuminated, remove the 

microphone connections (power still ON) one at a time until the Overload Indicator turns OFF.  After removing 
a wire, wait a few seconds before removing the next wire.  This will give the overload protection circuit time to 
reset itself.  The last wire disconnected that turned OFF the Overload Indicator

 

is the one that has a short.  

Check for shorts on the wire and remote microphone.

II.

  No audio present.

a. 

 Using a DC Voltmeter, check the voltage across terminal “A” and “C” (”A” positive; “C” ground) of the Mic 3-Pin 

Terminal Block

[12]

.  It should read 12V.  The microphone requires 12Vdc to work.

1)

  Check connections to the microphone.

b.

  Remove the wire connected to the “B” terminal of the Mic 3-Pin Terminal Block.  Using an AC meter (set to 

lowest voltage range), check the presence of audio from the microphone.  Place the meter leads between wire 
removed (positive) and terminal “C” (ground).  Generate some loud noise close to the remote microphone 
while observing the meter reading.  If audio is present, the meter reading will start to fluctuate.  If there is no 
movement, the remote microphone is defective.  Call factory for assistance.

Factory assistance is available between 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM Pacific time.  Call (818) 994-6498.
