Buzz on speaker

1.Check for 24 volt AC power shorted to wiring conduit.

2.Check for telephone line shorted to ground.

3.Verify that telephone wires are twisted pair.

4.Verify that the AE-2000 is connected to earth ground.

5.Check 16 VAC voltage at AE-2000 transformer terminals.

Buzz on telephone line

3.Specifi c transmitter is deactivated in the system.

Poor transmitter radio range

1.Check antenna installation and condition if transmitters were previously working well.

2.Check the RADIO indicator on the AE-2000 circuit board. If it is fl ickering without activating any transmitters there is interference blocking the receiver. Try adjusting the RECEIVER RANGE knob to reduce the receiver’s sensitivity to the interference.

3.Connect an audio amplifi er or telephone buttset to the RECEIVER TEST POINTS (the wire jumpers next to the RECEIVER RANGE knob). Listen to the sounds of the signals being received. If you hear the interference, remove power from possible interfering devices to determine the source of the interference. The antenna or the interfering device may need to be relocated.

4.Use Model FT-1 to check for interference.
