VIKING SRL-1 Single Line Loud Ringer with Visual Ring Indication User Manual

VIKING SRL-1 Single Line Loud Ringer with Visual Ring Indication

Add Loud Ringing and Visual Ring Indication to Any Analog Phone Line

The SRL-1 will generate loud ringing and bright flashing LEDs from an analog ringing line or from a dry contact closure. There are 4 different ringing sounds to choose from. Loudness is easily adjusted with a volume control and test button. The SRL-1’s unique sounding rings are useful for employees that often work away from their desks, allowing them to instantly recognize when their phone is ringing. A second set of contact inputs will trigger a door chime (doorbell) sound. This can be used to notify that a door has opened or used as a door bell or push for assistance button. The SRL-1 comes complete with a power supply and connections for an optional external speaker.

Mounting the SRL-1

Programming

The SRL-1 contains two different functions: single line loud ringer or door chime. Use the following sections to program and set-up each function.

Single Line Loud Ringer DIP Switch Programming

Test Button The Test Button is used to test the selected tone and set the volume level.

Sound Output Specifications for Loud Ringer
All tones require a minimum of 180ms of ringing voltage (or contact closure) to trigger. Once triggered, the electronic warble and electronic bell will run continuously until ringing stops (or contacts open). All other tones (double gong, quadruple chime, and doorbell) will run through their full sequence once and will not cycle again until the ringing stops (or contact opens) for at least 50ms and a second ring signal (or contact closure) triggers them again. Electronic Warble (traditional loud ringer)

Door Chime
A second set of contact inputs will trigger a door chime (doorbell) sound. This can be used to notify that a door has opened or used as a door bell or push for assistance button. A momentary contact closure on the door chime screw terminals will produce the door chime (Ding-Dong) tones (right).

Operation

The SRL-1 will monitor for ringing on an analog phone line such as a PABX/KSU station and flash three bright LEDs and will produce the selected loud ringing tone when ring voltage is detected. A dry contact closure can also be used to trigger the LEDs and the selected loud ringing tone. Select the electronic warble tone (traditional loud ringing) for noisy areas. The softer chime and bell tones work well in less noisy environments. The “Test” button on the PCB can be used to easily set the volume level. A momentary contact closure on the door chime screw terminals will produce the door chime (Ding-Dong) tones and flash the LEDs. This can be used to notify that a door has been opened, or used as a doorbell, or “Push for Assistance” button. An external 8-Ohm speaker can be used for greater volume and/or additional coverage.

If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company. The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive REN’s on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of the REN’s should not exceed five (5.0) To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total REN’s, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

The plug used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA.
