Module Installation
- Turn off all power to the unit.
- Make all necessary jumper selections.
- Position the module in front of desired module bay opening, making sure that the module is right-side up.
- Slide the module onto the card guide rails. Make sure that both the top and bottom guides are engaged.
- Push the module into the bay until the faceplate contacts the unit’s chassis.
- Use the two screws included securing the module to the unit.
WARNING:
Turn off power to the unit and make all jumper selections before installing
the module in the unit.
Jumper Selections
Bus Assignment
This module can be set to operate so that the input signal can be sent to the
main unit’s A bus, B bus, or both buses.
Interface Type
Dry Loop – Use with page ports. Activated by audio activity on the telephone
line.
Loop Start – Use when interfacing to PBX loop-start trunks or dedicated
telephones. Requires connection of external power supply (see Block Diagram
for more info).
Ground Start – Use only on PBX ground-start trunks. Requires connection of
external power supply and connection to PBX ground.
- Priority Level
This module can respond to 4 different levels of priority. Priority 1 is the highest priority. It mutes modules with lower priorities and is never muted. Priority 2 can be muted by Priority 1 modules and mutes modules set for 3 or
- Priority 3 is muted by either Priority 1 or 2 modules and mutes Priority 4 modules. Priority 4 modules are muted by all higher priority modules.
- The number of priority levels available is determined by the amplifier the modules are used in.
Limiter (Limit)
Sets the signal level threshold at which the module will begin to limit the
level of its output signal. Clockwise rotation will allow more output signal
before limiting, counterclockwise rotation will allow less. The limiter
monitors the module’s output signal level, so increasing gain will affect when
limiting takes place.
Gain
Provides control over the level of the input signal that can be applied to the
internal signal buses of the main unit. Allows a way to balance the input
levels of various devices so that the main unit controls can be set to
relatively uniform or optimum levels. Clockwise rotation will increase gain,
counterclockwise rotation decreases gain.
Telephone System Connections
Connect the telephone system’s Tipline to the “T” terminal and the Ring line
to the “R” terminal. When interfacing to a ground start trunk, also connect a
wire from the PBX’s ground to the module’s “CM” terminal. In some cases, the
power supply’s ground connection alone will be adequate. For Dry Loop (Page
Ports), connect the audio pair to the module’s “T” & “R” terminals (polarity
insensitive). No power supply is
necessary. The module is audio-activated so a contact pair from the page port
is not needed.
Gate – Threshold (Thresh)
Controls the minimum necessary input signal level to turn the module’s output
on and apply a signal to the main unit’s buses. Clockwise rotation increases
the necessary signal level required to produce output and mute lower priority
modules.
Gate – Duration (Dur)
Controls the amount of time the output and mute signal of the module remains
applied to the main unit’s buses after the input signal falls below the
required minimum signal level (set by the threshold control). Clockwise
rotation will increase time duration, counterclockwise will decrease duration
within a 0.5s to 5s range.
Power Supply Connections
Interfacing to a loop or ground start trunk requires an external 48V power
supply to be connected to the module. Make connections as marked. The ground
connection is optional but can be helpful when interfacing with ground-start
trunks. Bogen Model PRS48 is recommended.
Connections
Ground Start Interface Troubleshooting
-
Check that trunk is a Ground Start type. Try other trunk-style connections. If there is DC
voltage on the telephone line, it is a station line and cannot be interfaced with this module. -
Check jumper settings.
-
Check power supply connections and operation.
-
Check the connection between CM terminal and the PBX’s ground.
-
Try reversing T & R connections.
Loop Start Interface Troubleshooting
- Check that trunk is a Loop Start type. Try other trunk-style connections. If there is DC voltage on the telephone line, it is a station line and cannot be interfaced with this module.
- Check jumper settings.
- Check power supply connections and operation.
- Try reversing T & R connections.
Page Port Interface Troubleshooting
- Check that there is no DC voltage on the telephone line. If there is, it is a station line and cannot be interfaced with this module.
- Check jumper settings.
- Check that audio is present at audio pair leads of page port.
- Adjust Threshold control on the module.
