Sonifex HY-03 User Handbook
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
The answers to most of the following questions are available elsewhere in the handbook, but have been summarised here
for convenience.
Q :
What are the remote connection details for these units ?
A :
The remote connector is a 9-way female (socket) ‘D’ type. To remotely divert, connect pin 1 to pin 2. Pin 3 supplies
+15V with reference to pin 4. The remotes can act as momentary or latching depending on the setting on the rear
panel of the unit:
Pin 1 : Divert switch (Line Connect)
Pin 2 : Common
Pin 3 : Lamp
Pin 4 : Common
Q :
What type of remote lamp will the HY-03 drive ?
A :
The remote lamp type should be 15V at 40mA max.
Q :
What is the power consumption of the HY-03 telephone hybrid ?
A : <
6W for HY-03 and HY-03S.
Q :
What functions are controlled by the configuration settings switches on the rear panel of the HY-03 telephone hybrid ?
A :
SW1 – Dial Tone Disconnect Enable.
SW2 – K-Break Disconnect Enable.
SW3 – Input/Output Mix Enable.
SW4 – Ring Detector (Auto-Answer) Enable.
Q :
The telephone hybrids don't automatically disconnect on dial-tone. Why not ?
A :
Whilst the HY-03 does include K-break disconnection (for the UK) and
line polarity reversal (for the US), these do not
use the dial tone to disconnect. There is no dial tone disconnection unless the HY-03DTD dial tone detect option has
been added. If the HY-03DTD option has been added and you still have this problem, then ensure that configuration
switch SW1 is set to on. Also, ensure that the HY-03DTD option is of the correct type for your network connection. See
the Dial Tone Disconnect section later in this handbook.
Q :
The telephone hybrid unit keeps "dropping the line". How can I stop this happening ?
A :
Firstly, try disabling the k-break function of the hybrid – set the SETTINGS switch SW2 to off. If you still have a
problem once the k-break is disconnected, please contact Sonifex technical support ([email protected])
Q :
The signal input to the HY-03 at the input connector, is audible at the output. Why is this happening ?
A :
There is an option on the HY-03 which enables the input signal to be mixed with the output. Ensure the SETTINGS
switch SW3 is set to off to disable this option.
