Troubleshooting Speech Problems

The objective of this section is to verify the correct operation of speech from the picking up
of the ringing phone. All previous sections are assumed to be correct and working.
The BSX2 PCB detects a phone going off hook, stops ringing and changes the DDA
indicators from "Ring" to "Speak", speech should then be active.
Test: Ring a phone, listen at the door, then pick up the handset to verify speech.
Phone keeps ringing quietly.
One way speech from door to
phone only.
One way speech from phone
to door only.
Speech volume too low.
Loud 'howl' at the entrance
panel. (Acoustic feedback).
Other noise or interference
audible at the entrance panel.

Testing Phone and/or Speech unit

To test either a phone or a speech unit ensure 12VDC is correct at C (+) & H (-), then
temporarily connect R O T of the speech unit to R O T of the phone with a short length of
cable, removing existing connections first.
Note 1: The BS-LX phone also requires V connected to C to operate.
Note 2: The BS-LX and 801P phones will only work for two minutes after being rung, so
momentarily connect C to I or V to I.
There may be some feedback as the phone is very near the speech unit, but it should be
possible to prove two way speech even without the help of a second person.
Mute Led does not come on.
