Just to be sure what you mean by always on you might need to clarify in what context it is used as it can be used for the following usecases:

– Link room

– amplifier for passive speakers

– converter for Masterlink (ML) to Master Control Link (MCL)

Next,how you can tell it is allways on? Is the green LED on the box allways  on?

Not sure what could trigger this.

Normal behaviour would be the green light showing shortly at power up and the changing to red (standby).

Does your Beolink Passive have a button on the front next to the LED?

I just tested with a Passive Type 1657 SW1.4 (with the little switch).  With no connected cables (PL or ML), when powered up, the light comes on Red.  The switch has no effect, and the relay only makes a noise when I remove the power.

Perhaps yours is faulty, or has been modified inside somehow to make it permanently ‘on’.

Yes.  Usually masterlink would be used to connect the Passive in a link room, and the IR eye is then needed to control.

If using just as an amplifier for the BS4, then connect with Powerlink (Mk2) only.

In that case it’s a Mk3.  You need a fully wired Mk2, like this:  https://soundsheavenly.com/powerlink-8-pin-din-connection/23-319-powerlink-mk-2-compatible-black-8-pin-din-cable-with-fully-wired-8-cores.html#/9-length-18m
