Troubleshooting Standard Adjustable Emitter Circuits - The First Four

Summary

This article will provide guidance for a basic understanding of how to troubleshoot sound masking signals in
Standard
Adjustable Emitter
circuits.
With this how-to information, you will be able to identify the common issues found with standard adjustable emitter
installation and how to determine the source of the problem quickly and easily.

The foundation

The functionality of a standard adjustable emitter sound masking circuit may be determined by the first four emitters of
that circuit. To build a complete circuit, ensure that each of the first four emitters in the circuit run are operating correctly:
1. Power up your Qt X300/600 controller and make sure there are no system faults shown on the front panel display.
2. From the front panel of the controller, increase the volume level of a chosen output/zone to an audible level.
3. Connect your home run cable to your controller's selected output/zone.
4. Starting at the 1st position emitter in your circuit, connect the home run cable to the "Input" RJ45 jack of the emitter.
Listen to the emitter to make sure the masking signal is audible before connecting the next emitter in the daisy chain.
5. Once you have confirmed the 1st position emitter is working, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th position emitters can be connected
correctly in order using the "Input" and "Output" RJ45 jacks on the emitters. You will need to listen to each emitter prior
to moving to the next emitter in the circuit to ensure each emitter is audible and of the same level of intensity. This
exercise will confirm each emitter channel, A,B,C &D, are all working correctly.

  • Page 3 • Make sure there are no pin swaps within the termination. Once the home run cable has been tested and confirmed as operational, check it off the list and continue troubleshooting. https://support.biamp.com/Cambridge/Qt_X/Troubleshooting_Standard_Adjustable_Emitter_Circuits_-_The_First_Four Updated: Mon, 27 Feb 2023 21:22:01 GMT Powered by...
  • Page 4 If however, the problem had remained at the same emitter position, after the emitter positions are swapped, the emitter would likely not be the source of the issue and further troubleshooting would be required. https://support.biamp.com/Cambridge/Qt_X/Troubleshooting_Standard_Adjustable_Emitter_Circuits_-_The_First_Four Updated: Mon, 27 Feb 2023 21:22:01 GMT...
  • Page 5 Note: If you have a front panel temperature notification ie. "Device exceeded maximum temperature", this is typically still a circuit issue involving cables and/or emitters. You will need to follow these steps: • Unplug the circuit from the controller https://support.biamp.com/Cambridge/Qt_X/Troubleshooting_Standard_Adjustable_Emitter_Circuits_-_The_First_Four Updated: Mon, 27 Feb 2023 21:22:01 GMT Powered by...
