IV Troubleshooting
Problem: System feedback (Acoustical)
Cause 1: Input or output signal level is too high
4
Solution 1: Adjust the signal level
Cause 2: Side tone of this station or any remote station is not adjusted correctly
Solution 2: Adjust side tone refer to the procedure in the Front Panel section of this
manual.
Cause 3: No terminal in the system.
Solution 3: Check the terminal in the system.
Cause 4: 4-wire equipments connector are not connected well
Solution 4: Check the connection.
Problem: Output level is set to max, the audio level from camera end is still too low
Cause: Output level raw adjustment is not proper
Solution: Set output level raw adjustment to ‘Line’, then adjust output level to proper level
Problem: The audio level heard from camera end is too low
Cause: Input level is too low
Solution: Adjust input level by clockwise to proper level
Problem: Hum or buzz in system
Cause 1: Inductive pickup caused by close proximity of this main station or connected
remote stations to power lines or transformers.
Solution 1: Relocate the offending unit.
Cause 2: Intercom line cable is not wired properly; the shield of microphone cable is not
