Basic Calibration and Testing
Check the following locations for successful power-up and
connections, indicated as follows:
P 1580/1580H Counter Station: After boot-up, all lights are
dark until a lane or Privacy mode is selected
P 1583 Dual Lane Station: Normal = rapidly ashing green
light (lane selected = solid green light)
P Check the voice channels by selecting each lane and
speaking with an assistant at the customer locations
PAdjust Lane Microphone and Speaker gains using the
Model 1550A Setup Tool (see page 12 and 13)
Self-Setup Mode Adjustments
Some operating features are adjusted using the 1580’s
self-setup mode (see below). Advanced setup features
require the 1550A Setup Tool. See page 12 for advanced
setup.
Touch and hold the Setup key (without a 1550A
connected). The lights next to Camera Up/Down and
Volume Up/Down keys illuminate.
P Touch Camera Up and Down to select one of 16
ringtones
P Touch Volume Up and Down to set ring volume
P Select Privacy (light comes on) and touch Volume Up or
Down to set handset and/or wireless headset volume
P If further handset transmit or receive volume adjustment
is needed, use TX and RX knobs on the underside of
the 1580 Counter Station (Figure 8)
Troubleshooting Tips
PALWAYS test Cat 5 or other UTP cables with a cable
tester – even pre-made cables
PIn case of unexpected performance, restore system
defaults to rule out incorrect system parameters
P 1583 power lights ashing rapidly – indicates normal
connection (solid on indicates a lane is selected)
P If 1583 power light blinks every three seconds – that
may indicate a problem with system interconnects
Acoustical Coupling (Feedback)
PIncrease separation of lane microphone and speaker
PIsolate lane microphone and speaker with sound-
damping barrier (i.e. foam rubber)
PMount lane speaker and microphone on separate
surfaces or adjust their mounting angles
PAdjust inbound, outbound or open loop gain levels
(requires 1550A)
Audible Hum
P Connect 1583 terminal #8 to a good ground
The Deal Drawer Doesn’t Sound Right
PFill hollow cavities in the deal drawer with foam rubber
sheets or blocks
PDo not rest Counter Station directly on deal drawer
Lane Keys Don’t Respond
PKeys not assigned to Counter Station – reassign keys or
restore factory defaults in conguration menu
Counter Station Lights Remain in ‘Burn in’ Pattern
PCheck Cat 5 cable - consistently use EIA 568A or
EIA 568B standard cable termination (see page 15)
Lane Microphone Doesn’t Work
PEnsure microphone is electret condenser type
PCheck microphone wiring for correct polarity
PCheck Cat 5 cables - consistently use EIA 568A or
EIA 568B standard cable termination (see page 15)
P Ensure Cat 5 cables are connected to correct ports
Wind Noise
Wind noise can often be eliminated by putting a small plug
of 3M Scotchbrite™ material in the microphone opening.
The Audio Authority® lane microphone has a special
foam surround; for optimum results, use Audio Authority
microphones (631-029) and speakers (631-030) in the
lane.
