Be certain 120VAC, 60Hz power has been provided to the primaries of
both 301T Transformers. No less than 16VAC should be measured on
the secondary of either Transformer.
Replace transformer.
Isolate Master Station from installation by removing ribbon cables from
terminal board and wait one minute for timeout. With power on, radio
should be playing at Master. If no radio, Master is probably faulty. If
radio plays, reconnect ribbon cables.
Check terminal board for shorted terminals or miswired cables.
Remove one 3-wire cable at a time to locate faulty line. When radio
comes on, check speaker connections and run continuity check of
speaker wiring.
Check for shorted antenna connection. Remove antenna connector
from tuner board and touch each pin with metallic object. If radio plays,
antenna is not functioning; be sure it is installed properly. In weak
signal areas, an outside antenna may be necessary. Also see

Check for short between terminals or loose wire.
Make separate cable (IWA-3) runs from each Remote Station to the

If speakers are mounted directly back to back, one speaker will have to
be relocated. If speakers are in a common wall, try placing fiberglass
insulation behind each speaker, or isolate the speakers from the wall
by placing rubber washers or weather stripping between speaker and
wall.
NuTone Model IWA-3-conductor, flat-ribbon cable must be used.
Follow “Connecting the Remote Speaker Wiring” under
