  • Page 29: Troubleshooting

    2825R TWO DIVER RACK MOUNT COMMUNICATOR USER MANUAL Troubleshooting Most problems are usually simple issues that can often be found by careful inspection of the diver communicator, diving umbilical, and diver helmet wiring. The following section will describe the troubleshooting procedure for several common issues. If these sections do not cover your particular issue, it is recommended that the diving umbilical be disconnected from the diver communicator and the check-out procedures in section 6.1 be conducted.
  • Page 30 If the fuse is open, replace with the same type: 3.15 Amp, 250V, Fast Acting. Close the lid; re-install the screws and re- test the communicator. If the communicator still appears dead, contact Amron per section 2.2 for further assistance.
  • Page 31 If this does not solve the problem and the umbilical cannot be immediately replaced, then operate in 2-Wire mode until a replacement umbilical can be used. Amron strongly recommends the use of the Amron CC1 communication cable. It has been specially designed for clear communications and long service life.

  • Page 33: Full Duplex (4-Wire) - What, Why And How

    2825R TWO DIVER RACK MOUNT COMMUNICATOR USER MANUAL FULL DUPLEX (4-WIRE) - WHAT, WHY AND HOW Amron has designed the AMCOM Full Duplex (4-WIRE) mode from the ground up, taking advantage of state-of-the-art electronics technology to provide a superior hard wire communication experience.
  • Page 34: What Is Full Duplex (4-Wire)

    On the surface, a tender using a headset may get some acoustic feedback via the PANEL SPEAKER. The solution is to put some distance between the tender and the PANEL SPEAKER by using the Amron Model 2822-28 Walk-and-Talk Module accessory. Alternatively, the PANEL SPEAKER can be turned off using the SPEAKER SWITCH located on the front panel.
  • Page 35: Why Full Duplex (4-Wire)

    Amron Diver Communicator uses an independent microphone amplifier for each diver circuit as well as for the tender. This allows Amron Diver Communicators to use the power of common-mode rejection to cancel any coupled noise for each microphone as well as providing less loading of the microphone than in 2-Wire mode.
  • Page 36 To revert back to 2-Wire mode, simply remove black banana plug from DIVER EARPHONE (black) jack and plug it on top of DIVER MICROPHONE (red) plug. Things to keep in mind when using Amron's AMCOM diver communicators: With the AMCOM diver communicators you can mix 2-Wire and Full Duplex (4-Wire) modes of operation.
