Hal gave me a link to Valcom. I suppose this is the
unit made by Harris for Lucent in which Valcom now fixes.

I had somewhat the same problem but was unable to fix it on the bench.

If the squirrels, chipmunks and rats are hungry they may chew on the wire.

No sign of varmints?

One thing I'll never forget.
I Did a service call for a small bakery and went into the suspended ceiling and most of the station wire was chewed on down to the copper.

They had phone problems and heath department issues.

No, The Harris/Valcom doesn't have controls as I remember. The Bogen and Viking do.

See Al, I told ya it was you! Actually I would have expected that the person who picked up the doorphone call inside only heard noise if what you say is true. All that ambient noise would have kept the doorphone VOX from switching to "receive" so the inside person would not be heard. You said nobody heard anything, that's why I never mentioned the mic level.

Your right Hal, No pot switches on the Harris other than what I thought was one with volume control.
Ive put a bunch of these things from Viking to the older ones. They seem to change things every few years.

You should see the door phone Made by Chamberlain.

More features than a U-boat commander would have. Expensive Yes. Not made for the North East weather.

Just remember Harris did make the door phone for Lucent/ATT/partner at one time.

That's the one that Valcom now makes. I always prefer them if I can get the customer to pay the extra $$.

The green idiot light. The time out green light on the unit is a nice feature on The valcom. It means if nobody answered or didn't want to kinda say's don't ring my door bell again. Go away.

hey

maybe you have power problem ?
where does the unit get power from ?

Door phones, such as the LUADS, are line powered devices much like a basic 2500 series Western Electric telephone.
