Malfunctions can usually be localized by using the
comparison method. A problem common to all
microphone control stations usually indicates a failure
within the circuits of the control rack. A problem
peculiar to only one station indicates the fault could be
located in the control rack the microphone control
station, or the cables connecting the control station to
the control rack.
If the entire system is inoperative, check the
POWER AVAILABLE indicator lamp on the control
rack. If the lamp is not lit, check the switch that provides
power to the control rack. If the lamp is lit, check the
position of the switches on the control panel. If all the
control panel switches are in their proper positions,
check for blown fuses. If there is no indication of a
blown fuse(s), refer to the applicable technical manual
and schematic diagram for the system.
The system's dual channel design, with switching
controls, permits continued operation of the system
when one channel fails. If there is a failure of the channel
