The following is a list of potential problems you may encounter and possible solutions.
Problem
Possible Solution
general problems
Ensure that there is a valid circuit line path from the desk set to the dc
remote adapter.
Check for a blown fuse and ensure that the dc remote adapter is
connected to a properly functioning dc power source (if using a dc power
supply option).
IDA1000A will not key
the radio
Ensure that one of the IDA1000A PTT outputs is connected to the radio.
Check the telephone line continuity from the desk set to the remote
adapter.
Reversed phone line pins 3 and 4.
Ensure that the telephone line is generating a current that the IDA1000A
uses for keying the radio.
radio keyed constantly
while the IDA1000A is
connected
Ensure that the PTT is in the proper active state:
P1-6 Ground keying
P1-13 B+ keying
RX audio low or
distorted
Ensure that the IDA1000A receive sensitivity is set properly.
Ensure that there is no more than 20 dB loss in the telephone line.
constant white noise in
RX audio
Obtain RX audio from a muted source in the station and not ‘raw
detector/disc. audio. See radio manuals.
no RX audio
Check fuse F2
Check radio cable connections to radio’s RX audio source.
no TX audio
Verify that the radio is being keyed when transmitting to the IDA1000A
from a dc remote.
Verify that the IDA1000A output level is properly set and there is not
more than 20 dB of loss in the telephone line.
Open fuse F2. (See fuse replacement information below.)
TX audio distorted
Verify that the dc adapter transmit audio output is not set too high for the
radio’s expected input level. Adjust the TX audio level pot for proper
setting.
TX level is set too high or SW1-2 is set to wrong position.
IDA1000A does not
