WHEN PROGRAMMING EMERGENCY NUMBERS AND (OR) MAKING TEST CALLS TO EMERGENCY NUMBERS:
Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.
It is recommended that the customer install an AC surge arrester in the AC outlet to which this device is connected. This is to avoid damaging the equipment caused by local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.
PART 15 LIMITATIONS
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: Electronic devices are susceptible to lightning and power station electrical surges from both the AC outlet and the telephone line. It is recommended that a surge protector is installed to protect against such surges.

A. Mounting
The K-1500-EHFA is designed to be mounted inside of a standard elevator phone box: 10” high x 7” wide x 3” deep (Example: Allen Tel Outlet Box, part # GB62247).
B. Wiring

* Note: To increase surge protection, loosen the PCB mounting screw labeled (as shown above) and fasten a wire with a spade terminal (included) from the mounting screw to Earth Ground (grounding rod, water pipe, etc.)
** Note: The gel-filled (water-tight) butt connectors are designed for insulation displacement on 19-26 gauge wire with maximum insulation of 0.082 inches. Cut off stripped wire ends before terminating.

Programming

A. Adjusting Speaker Volume
The SPKR VOL pot can be adjusted to increase or decrease the speaker volume to the level desired as shown right.
B. Adjusting the Microphone Volume
In certain noisy locations (background traffic, machinery, or wind), the microphone volume may need to be decreased. A symptom of this is a one-way talk path, in which the distant party cannot be heard over the speaker. A MIC VOL pot is provided on the K-1500-EHFA for increasing or decreasing the microphone volume. Note: If the microphone volume is set too high or too low, a one-way talk path may occur.

C. DIP Switch Programming

  1. Auto Answer Feature ON/OFF (DIP Switch 1)
    DIP switch 1 is for turning the Auto Answer feature ON and OFF. The phone is factory set to auto-answer when an inbound call is detected.

  2. Dial Tone Detection ON/OFF (DIP Switch 2)
    With DIP switch 2 in the ON position, if the K-1500-EHFA detects more than 5 seconds of continued dial tone, the unit will automatically disconnect. If the K-1500-EHFA is installed on a continuously noisy line, it may detect the noise as a dial tone and automatically disconnect. If this happens, turn the dial tone detection (DIP switch 2) OFF. DIP Switch| Position| Description
    ---|---|---
    1| ON| Auto-Answer ON
    1| OFF| Auto-Answer OFF
    2| ON| Dial Tone Detection ON

    2| OFF| Dial Tone Detection OFF
    3| ON| Programming Mode
    3| OFF| Normal Operation Mode *

* Note: These are the factory settings.

  1. Programming Mode ON/OFF (DIP Switch 3)
    With DIP switch 3 in the OFF position, the K-1500-EHFA is in the “Normal Operation Mode” (factory setting). By placing DIP switch 3 in the ON position, the K-1500-EHFA ’s programming mode is enabled. The programming mode is used for adjusting the Call Length Time Out, Silence Time for automatic disconnect and the Talk/Listen to delay (VOX switching speed). These features are set from the factory and normally do not need adjustment. If adjustment is necessary, see Programming sections D – I.

D. Accessing the Programming Mode
The K-1500-EHFA can be programmed from any touch-tone phone using a telephone line, analog PABX/KSU station or a Viking model DLE-200B Line Simulator.

Step 1.|  Move DIP switch 1 to the ON position (sets unit to answer incoming calls – see section C).
---|---
Step 2.|  Move DIP switch 3 to ON (incoming calls automatically enter the programming mode – see section C).
Step 3.| From a touch-tone phone call, the line is attached to the K-1500-EHFA.
Step 4.|  When the K-1500-EHFA answers, 2 beeps will be heard and you will automatically enter the programming mode.
Step 5.|  When finished programming, enter “0000” to exit programming and move DIP switch 3 back to OFF (see section C).

E. Quick Programming Features

| Select Feature| Wait for
Beep(s)| Enter
Time Value| Wait for
2 Beeps
---|---|---|---|---
Call length time out (1-9 minutes), blank = disabled (factory set to 11111 = 5 minutes)| 0| beep| 111| beep beep
Silence time out for disconnect (10-90 seconds), blank = disabled (factory set to 1111 = 40 secs)| 00| beep| 111| beep beep
Talk/listen delay (VOX switching speed) 0.1 – 0.9 seconds (factory set to 111 = 0.3 secs)| 000| beep| 111| beep beep
Forced hang-up command (used to exit programming and hang up the K-1500-EHFA)| 0000| 3 beeps| |

See Table A below

F. Programming Beeps

If a valid “Feature” is entered, a single beep will be heard. If an invalid “Feature” (five or more zeros) is entered, 3 beeps will be heard and the K-1500-EHFA will hang up. If a valid “Time” is entered 2 beeps will be heard. If an invalid “Time” is entered, 3 beeps will be heard and you will have 20 seconds to enter the next valid “Feature”.

G. Call Length Time Out
This feature selects the maximum length of time that calls can be connected. Programmable in increments of 1 minute up to a maximum of 9 minutes. Programming nothing in the time value location will disable the call length time out. With the call length disabled, the K-1500-EHFA phone must rely on CPC, busy, silent or return dial tone to hang up. See Table A.
* Note: The factory default is 5 minutes.

Table A

Time Value| Call Length Time Out| Silence Time Out| Talk/Listen Delay
---|---|---|---
1| 1 min| 10 sec| 0.1 sec

111111111| 9 min| 90 sec| 0.9 sec
10 or more| Disabled| Disabled| Error

H. Silence Time Out
This feature selects the length of time that calls will remain connected without voice activity. Programmable in increments of 10 seconds up to a maximum of 90 seconds. To disable the silence time out, program nothing in the time value location. See Table A.
* Note: The factory default is 40 seconds.

I. Talk/Listen Delay (VOX Switching Speed)
This feature selects switching time between talk and listen-to modes (VOX switching time). See Table A.
* Note: The factory default is 0.3 seconds.

Operation

When the push button is pressed, the K-1500-EHFA phone goes off-hook, much like a standard speaker phone. In the event that the line is busy, the K-1500-EHFA will hang up. The K-1500-EHFA will also automatically hang up on CPC, silence, busy signal, return to dial tone, or time out. If programmed to auto-answer (DIP switch 1 ON), the K-1500-EHFA will also answer any incoming call.
