System Walk-Thru

Now that you have successfully “set-up” your Telex Wireless Intercom System and turned on any auxiliary equipment, you are ready to test the overall performance by “Walking” the Telex system through the areas in which you will be using it.

Before you begin your walk-thru, check the following:

The “system walk-thru” can detect problem of weak signal strength caused by:

•Poor antenna location

rBeltpack Battery Check.

rSet microphone gain in both the beltpack(s) and the base station.

rThe base station and beltpack(s) are on the same group and the beltpack(s) are on their own unique transport

channels that match the base station receive channels

rCheck that the talk button is engaged. The talk LED will be illuminated.

rIntercom Level “IN” and “OUT” are set to an appro- priate level.

rAuxiliary Level “IN” and “OUT” are set to an appro- priate level (if used).

•Wrong antenna for receiver and/ or transmitter

•RF “Trouble Spots”

•Operating distance beyond system capability.

•Old or used batteries in the TR-8XX.

Under normal conditions the base station’s display will indicate a beltpack status. “Weak Signal” condition will result in “no tx” being displayed on the base station’s receiver for that beltpack.

In 99% of all instances you will set up your Telex Wireless In- tercom System, walk it through the area of interest and achieve error-free performance. If in the rare instance your Telex system does not “pass” during your walk-thru evalua- tion, refer to the section of this manual which deals with Sys- tem Troubleshooting.
