service dept Steve Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hi Guys and Girls.I have either an easy one or a non starter.I have a Sennheiser ew100 reciever and handheld transmitter on the bench at the moment.Although it all works correctly the reciever is showing fsd on the af meter.The rf and the af meters both go out when either the transmitter is switched off or the frequency is altered.If one of the twigs are removed the af meter drops by half, shouting into the mic does not show as af on the meter so it looks as if the meter has picked up on a fuction to show diversity instead of af level....This is a seies 1 reciever, the later models have a reset as one of the functions but there doesn't look like there are any combinations of keystoke or hold/power. Has anyone seen this before and able to offer a clue to the cure?I realise that I might have to get rough with the controller which is a 72714 but don't want to if I don't have to.

TimmyP1955 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'd say that the mic amp in the transmitter has gone wacky and the transmitter is dutifully transmitting the preamp's noise. (Or the front end of the transmitter has gone wacky.) Off to Sennheiser for a new board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
service dept Steve Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hmm, Thanks for that, I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion as the receiver and the transmitter are both fine acoustically and the faulty readout is showing aerial diversity.Thanks anyway for your suggestions.

handyandi Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Not that its that helpful but I have exactly the same system with your identical fault. I have just lived with it but would be interested if you find a fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Not that its that helpful but I have exactly the same system with your identical fault. I have just lived with it but would be interested if you find a fix.I too have had a similar problem with the same equipment. However as the equipment has been working fine acoustically I have never paid it much attention. Maybe I will have another look, particularily if you get any answers. My only gut feeling has always been that I have a mishmash of G1 and G2 equipment, I always assumed that this problem occured because I was using G2 transmitters with G1 Recievers, or the other way round!

service dept Steve Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 If it were mine I wouldn't worry about it but the customer is a hire company so he can't rent it out in a faulty state.seems it's a common fault, maybe someone will come through with something.

KevinE Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Maybe a hidden test function that we're not supposed to know about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
