SHORT LED's are illuminated
Cause 1: No AC power to the MS-232.
Solution 1: Make sure the power switch on the rear panel is turned ON. Check the AC connec-
tion and cable. Plug into a dependable AC source.
Cause 2: The MS-232 has an internal power supply failure.
Solution 2: Unit requires servicing.
Problem: System does not operate when power switch is turned on. Green POWER
LED and red SHORT LED wink
Cause: Direct short on the intercom channel indicated by the red Short LED.
Solution: Remove the intercom line cables one at a time from that channel until the faulty
line is located. Once the short is removed, the MS-232 will reset automatically and
power will come back up within several seconds. Check for shorts between pins 1
and 2 or improper cable wiring.
