- Port 2: (05-06) connection for 2 Telco Lines (TWT). Connects to last Supervisor Board ports 19-20.
Card 1 Example

- Port 3: (07-08) connection for 2 Emergency Phones. Connects to Supervisor Board ports 11-12.
Note: The numbering pattern continues on all subsequent cards. Depending on the number of zones needed, some cards will be left empty and will have no connections.
Card 2 Example

Note: Do not follow the color scheme on the punch-down blocks themselves.
56-96 Zone Distribution Module Reference Wiring
On top of each port there is a label indicating connection
- S01-S__ are the ports used for connecting Emergency Phones
- TD(1-2)(3-4) with a dot under the T is the port used for connecting outside Telco Lines

- Port 6: (T1-2) connection for up to 2 Telco Lines
Card 1 Example
- To punch down 19 or 20 on Supervisor Board (if using)
Note: Do not use the green and brown pairs
Each additional card is used for connecting phones
- Port 1: (S01-S04) connection for up to 4 Emergency Phones
- Port 2: (S05-S08) connection for up to 4 Emergency Phones
- Port 3: (S09-S12) connection for up to 4 Emergency Phones
- Port 4: (S13-S16) connection for up to 4 Emergency Phones
- Port 5: (S17-S18) connection for up to 2 Emergency Phones
- Port 6: (S19-S20) connection for up to 2 Emergency Phones
Note: The numbering pattern continues on all subsequent cards. Depending on the number of zones needed, some cards will be left empty and will have no connections.
Card 2 Example
Note: Do not use the green and brown pairs
- Secure the cables using the provided cable ties.
Wiring Call Boxes to Supervisor Board
- Using the provided RJ11 pigtail cables, plug the RJ11 end of the cable into the RJ11 jack on the front of the Supervisor Board. The wire color on the jack should match what is punched down on the back.
- Splice field station wiring on to pigtail sides of the RJ11 harness.
Note: The maximum wire run length is 4,000 ft.
Wiring Outside Phone Lines to Supervisor Board
Ports 19 and 20 on the Supervisor Board are flex ports. They can be used for emergency phones or outside phone lines.
- Take one of the RJ45 wiring harnesses and connect the RJ45 side to the TWT port on the Distribution Module (refer to card break down to identify).
- Follow one of the options below:
Note: If using multiple Supervisor Boards, it is recommended to use port 19 and/or 20 on the last board so the phone extensions are not out of order.
- If using one phone line, use the 110 style punch down tool to punch down the blue, blue-white pair of wires on to the number 20 punch down block on the back of the Supervisor Board.
- If using two phone lines, use the 110 style punch down tool to punch down the blue, blue-white pair on to the number 20 punch down block. Then, take the orange, orange white pair and punch it down on to the number 19 punch down block on the back of the Supervisor Board.
- Connect the phone line to the RJ11 jack on the front of the Supervisor Board that matches the same number wires that are punched down on the back of the board (Ex: Punch down block 20 = RJ11 port 20).
- Change the dip switch on the top edge of the board to “LINE IN” and “ENABLE” on any port with a phone line connected to it.
Connecting the Power Supply
Do not apply power to the Supervisor Board until all punch down connections are made
Attach the supplied +12vdc Power Supply to the appropriate terminals on the Supervisor Board.
- Insert the +Wire into the +Connector
- Insert the -Wire into the RETURN Connector
- Secure the wires by screwing down the capture clip
Note: For systems larger than 16 zones, connect the subsequent Supervisor
Boards in series by connecting any additional wire to the +Connector and to
the RETURN Connector for feeding power to the next board in the system. Wire
up to 2 Supervisor Boards per transformer.
Setting Switches
- The factory default setting for the switches is in the DISABLE position. Set the switches on all the monitored ports to the ENABLE position.
- Any port that has equipment connected to it should be monitored.
Setting Check Interval
- Locate the “Test Interval” jumper on the back of the board.
- The line check can be set to one of the following: 15 minutes, 6 hours, 12 hours, or 23 hours. Default is 15 minutes.
- After determining desired time, move jumper so it vertically falls under the correct time.
Alarm Wiring
- An external device, such as a fire alarm panel, must be connected to the Supervisor Board for external fault notification. To do this, attach the wiring from the external device to the Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) contacts of the notification relay.
Mounting
- Mount the Supervisor Board to a wall using the provided swing arm bracket or to a 19” rack (not included).
Complete System Connections
- Plug the power transformer into the power source (wall outlet or UPS).
- Ensure the LEDs associated with the connected Supervisor ports are NOT illuminated and the GREEN status light IS illuminated.
Note: When the unit powers on it will do a full check. This can take up to 90 seconds. Once the check is complete with no errors, the green system status light will illuminate.
- Supervisor Board
- UPS
Testing
Once all equipment is connected and power is applied, wait 30 minutes before testing
- Disconnect the RJ11s from the front of the Supervisor Board.
- The LED above the port will illuminate.
- The system will do a full check before the relay will change state. The duration of this test is determined by the timer jumper on the board plus 90 seconds (ex: If the timer jumper is set to 15 minutes, the relay will change after 15 minutes plus 90 seconds).
- To reset, reconnect the RJ11 from the removed device. The red LED above the port will clear.
- After all errored devices are reconnected, the green system status light should illuminate within 3 minutes.
