This section includes two troubleshooting charts designed to quickly pinpoint the source of problems. 

Troubleshooting 

N

:

  It may be advantageous to temporarily connect an I.S. telephone panel directly to the output 

terminals of the Model 263 IBU when troubleshooting.  Then, using the charts below, the cause of the 
problem should be more easily determined. 

Non-Equipment Related Problems 

Problem Solution 

The I.S. phone is inactive with 
no lights on the IBU when the 
phone is off-hook. 

1.

 

Check the ac power to the Model 263 IBU. 

2.

 

Check the ac fuse F4 at the Model 263 IBU. 

3.

 

Ensure there is no wiring open at the I.S. phone. 

1.

 

If the I.S. phone has a wiring short, the IBU lights will be lit in 
the following pattern:  

O

 = 

On

P

 = Off

 

 ISLOOP

LOCK 

P

2.

 

If the TELCO line has an open, the IBU lights will be lit in the 
following pattern: :  

O

 = 

On

P

 = Off

 

 ISLOOP

The I.S. phone has no dial tone. 

 HOOK

TELCO 

P

 

The lights on the IBU flash 
randomly. 

The I.S. phone has an intermittent wiring short.  The short may be 
between the conductors or either/both conductor(s) to ground/shield.
