The RS232/RJ45 connections are shown on Page 17 
NOTE: RS232 Operation is detailed on pages 18 

 

MAINTENANCE 

 
 

The primary preventative maintenance is to make sure that that the power supply and unit are 
powered and that all connections are secure. 

 
 

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE 

 
 

No Audio 

 
 

Look at the Control Indicator LED for at least 15 seconds, if it doesn’t light at all there may be a 
power failure. Check circuit breakers. Check to see that the unit’s DC power supply is plugged 
in to the AC power. Check to see that the power supply’s DC connector plug is secured onto 
the wire and then check to see that it is plugged into the unit’s DC input connector. 

 
 

You Have Power but No Audio 

 

>Check for disconnected speakers or open voice coil. 
>If the LED is briefly flashing every few seconds, the unit is in sleep mode because no audio is 

being sensed at either 

Normal

 input, 

Auxiliary

 input or the 

Priority

 input. 

>Initiate self test. If the LED blinks red, check the cables running to the speaker(s). 
>If the LED is blinking red every second, it is recovering from a Priority Override. When it times 

out, and there is non-priority, audio, you should hear audio. If still no audio, the non-priority 
audio may be silent, but the LED should be green, awaiting the resumption of audio. 

 
 

You want to verify unit start-up and possibly the firmware revision number. 

 

Interrupt the AC or DC power, wait 10 seconds, then turn the power back on again, and then 
look at the Control indicator LED. You should see one of the following the sequence: 

 

 

Version No.: 

 

Firmware Version Number, First Digit…………….  Green flash 

 

Firmware Version Number, Decimal Point……….  1 second pause no LED on. 

 

Firmware Version Number, Second Digit ... ………Red flash 

 Pause 
 Steady 

Green 

 

The unit then should be operational.
