Ensure the SKK-620C is correctly grounded 

  

In a dual-master station system, a loud feedback sound is heard at both master stations. 

This can be caused by a common power supply and/or missing DAK-2S. If both C-ML/A master stations share the same power supply, a ground loop feedback will occur when the talk button is pushed. Install separate SKK-620C power supplies or install batteries for each master station. The DAK-2S "Dual Master Component Modules" must also be installed per the wiring diagram below:          

Communication timeout issues 

If the resistance of the wire is too large, usually from exceeding distance limitations, the master station may not time out as designed. 22AWG = 245'  18AWG = 490'    

Communication volume is too loud or too soft 

It's possible the volume control is not adjusted properly. Remove the front cover of the C-ML/A and locate the volume potentiometer through a hole located at the bottom of the station. Use a small screwdriver to adjust the volume; clockwise to increase, and counterclockwise to decrease. Do not turn the potentiometer too hard in either direction or damage may occur.    [post_title] => Common Communication Troubleshooting for the C-123 Kit [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => open [ping_status] => open [post_password] => [post_name] => common-communication-troubleshooting-for-the-c-123-kit [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2025-03-12 08:41:18 [post_modified_gmt] => 2025-03-12 15:41:18 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => https://aiphone.local/kb/common-communication-troubleshooting-for-the-c-123-kit/ [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => kb [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw ) ) [post_count] => 1 [current_post] => -1 [before_loop] => 1 [in_the_loop] => [post] => WP_Post Object ( [ID] => 36867 [post_author] => 23 [post_date] => 2021-07-26 18:15:21 [post_date_gmt] => 2021-07-27 01:15:21 [post_content] =>

C-123 Speakers Squeal and Station Overheats

Summary 

Upon power up, the C-ML/A maser station squeals and the batteries seem to overheat. 

 

Cause 

Power supply and batteries are both installed. 

 

Solution 

Take batteries out of the C-ML/A master station if powered with an SKK-620C power supply. Both power sources cannot be used simultaneously. 

  

Per the C-123 instruction manual:
