Hello everyone,

was fitting a texecom text & speech dialler and the speaker cable got damaged and shorted. Thought no problems! Joined the speaker cable again, no sound whatsoever. Hmmm tried connecting to different speakers and nothing????

Dead or Not?

Any ideas would be helpful.

Have you checked the speaker fuse? What happens if you connect a speaker to the panel using a short piece of cable - to eliminate a faulty cable?

What is the resistance across the speaker - should be 16 ohm.

No it shouldn't, it should almost read a dead short... The impedance is 16 ohms not the resistance.

I stand Corrected!

Still reads 16ohm when you measure across it tho!!!

Have you tried down powering it? Is it in talkback mode?

If you are talking about the speaker thats on the backplate of the speech dialler then this doesnt have to be connected for the speech dialler to work - just means you cant hear your recorded message when you press listen to recorded message.

Powered down, back up again and again and again, switched speaker to another 8 Ohm speaker from a different dialler, I dont even get a tone for when I press the buttons.

I bet it will still work you just dont get any noises from it!

It still does, but for testing I need the speaker!!

A bit worryin to be fair, is it worth the speaker or shall i just program it up?
