Troubleshooting
Refer to the following table if you have trouble with your
MERLIN
system. Identify the symptom in the “Trouble” column of the table, and perform the recom-
mended steps to isolate and correct the problem. If you are unable to identify a particular problem, perform the General Test on page 36 before calling your equip-
ment supplier for help. Once you have programmed and administered your system, you may want to obtain the Service and Maintenance Manual: Models 206,
410, and 820 for additional information on how to troubleshoot your system.
