1  POWER ON/OFF switch

 

Mains power push button for switching the internal 
power supply ON and OFF. 
 

2  OVERLOAD LED 
 

This LED illuminates, when the internal circuit-breaker 
shuts off line power due to overload. A cause for 
overload can be a connection of too many user 
stations, a short-circuit in the interconnecting cables, 
or a thermal overload. The circuit-breaker resets 
automatically 3 seconds after the cause of the 
overload has been removed, and restores line power 
automatically. 

 

During short-circuit, the LED will flash every 3 
seconds. During thermal overload it will be lit 
continuously. 

 

The LED will also come on for a few seconds every 
time you switch on mains power.

4  SYSTEM LINK IN A

 

 

This LED illuminates if another ASL Intercom System

“System Link” connector of Channel A. The Line 
Impedance is now provided by the other Intercom 
system and the internal line impedance for Channel A 
is switched off. The Buzzer mute function on Channel 
A can now only be controlled by the connected 
system, while the Buzzer Mute on Channel B will still 
be controlled by the PS 289. The Mic Mute signals 
given by the other Intercom system are also sent to 
the user stations connected to Channel A of the PS 
289. If a Mic Mute is given by the PS 289, it is only 
send to its own channels and does not mute the 
microphones of the other Intercom System.

has been connected to the PS 289 through the 
“System Link” connector of Channel B. The Line 
Impedance is now provided by the other Intercom 
system and the internal line impedance for Channel B 
is switched off. The Buzzer mute function on Channel 
B can now only be controlled by the connected 
system, while the Buzzer Mute on Channel A will still 
be controlled by the PS 289. The Mic Mute signals 
given by the other Intercom system are also sent to 
the user stations connected to Channel B of the PS
