Troubleshooting
Q. What if the VDN radio path signal has not been received by the Alarm
Receiving Centre ?
Check that the NVM is fitted & has been correctly programmed.
Check with a meter that the voltage supply to the Dualcom is 12v or more
and does not dip when the Dualcom is signalling.
Check, using the Signal Strength LEDs (Red & Green) or the CS1052 that
the radio signal is sufficient and the VDN path status = OK.
Contact a Help Desk or use Direct Check to measure the signal strength
that is received at the base station.
Check the aerial for connection and insulation.
See Appendix 1 for VDN fault indications. These will help diagnose radio
path problems.
Q. What if the Telephone Path signal is not received by the Alarm
Receiving Centre ?
Check that the NVM is fitted and has been correctly programmed, i.e.
PSTN enabled, correct telephone numbers etc.
Check that the PSTN line is properly connected. Check with a meter that
approximately 50 volts DC is present across the PSTN terminals marked A
and B. Connect a telephone to the PSTN line and make a call to the ARC
to ensure that the PSTN line is fully functional. Remove telephone after
test.
Disconnect any other equipment that is using the same PSTN line to en-
sure that it is not inhibiting the Dualcom.
Check that when the Digital Communicator is triggered, the voltage across
the A and B terminals drops to between 6 and 12 volts DC.
Ensure that ‘call barring’ to the ARC Receiver telephone number has not
been set on the PSTN line used by Dualcom.
See Appendix 1 for Line Monitoring indications. These will help diagnose
line problems.
