Second Fix 

Connect the cables at both ends – DO NOT plug the CAT5 lead back into the FMX board yet. 

With the rack powered up, check the voltages on the FMIC terminals. 

0 to 24 Volts = 31.8 V DC 

0 to PTT  

24 V DC 

0 to Busy 

0 to Audio +  14.7 V DC 

0 to Audio - 

14.7 V DC 

The polarity of audio + and audio – is unimportant 

0 to SW1 

24 V DC 

0 to SW2 

24 V DC 

If cables are OK, plug the cat 5 lead into the FMX and test the microphone and chimes. Adjust the tone, 
chime level and master levels as necessary.  

Refit the back plate and close the door. 

Check that the FMX POWER light is lit and the FAIL light is off. 

Check that the 1ZPR POWER light is lit and the FAULT light is off. 

Finally, test the MIC PTT switch and the message play controls. 

Locks 

All FMICs are provided with the same key (to pass).  

A ‘T-Bar’ option is available at extra cost, however, this is not recommended for public places. 

Consider keeping the key in a “break glass” box adjacent to the FMIC.
