ISO Test

1Set DIP switch DS3 to off (two-channel, two-wire mode).

2Set DIP switch DS5 to on (talk muted during ISO).

3Set all TALK and LISTEN buttons to on.

4Connect a 100 ohm resistor from the ISO input (J22 pin 12) to circuit common (J22 pin 10). Observe that the MIC ON LED turns on and the channel 1 and 2 TALK buttons turn off.

5Remove the 100 ohm resistor across the ISO input.

6Reset DIP switch DS3 to on and DS5 to off.

Remote Mic Switch Test

1Set all buttons to off.

2Connect a 100 ohm resistor from the remote mic switch input (J22 pin 25) to circuit common (J22 pin 10), and observe that the MIC ON LED turns on.

3Remove the 100 ohm resistor.

Program Lockout Test

1Set DIP switch DS4 to on (front panel setup lockout enabled).

2Press and hold the CALL button for ten seconds, and verify that the MCE325 does not enter program mode.

3Reset DS4 to off.

Noise Checks

1Connect a 150 ohm load across the dynamic mic input (J2 pins 1 and 2).

2Connect an 8 ohm load across the speaker output.

3Connect 51 ohm loads across the left headphone output (J2 pins 3 & 4) and right headphone output (J2 pins 3 &5).

4Terminate each intercom channel into 200 ohms.

5Set the MIC ON button to on.

6Set the SPKR ON button to on.

7Set all other front panel buttons to off.

8Set all volume controls to minimum.

Note: Noise measurements in the following steps were made using a 30 kHz low pass filter with +20 dB of gain inserted between the AC voltmeter and the MCE325.

9Set the CH 1-3 volume control to maximum. Measure noise across the left headphone output. It should measure -44 dBu or less.

10Set the CH 1-3 volume control to minimum and set the CH 2-4 volume control to maximum. Measure noise across the right headphone output. It should measure –44 dBu or less.

11Set the CH 2-4 volume control to minimum. Measure noise across the speaker output. The meter should read –44 dBu or less.
