Mount the By-Pass Switch
The 1812’s by-pass switch provides a method to remove the 1812 from the telephone line and
reconnect the homeowner’s telephone to the telephone system.
The By-Pass switch IS NOT
optional – it must be installed as part of the 1812 system. All telephone wiring for the 1812
must pass through the by-pass switch. Wire the by-pass switch per the wiring instructions in
this manual.
Mount the by-pass switch in a location that is easily accessible by the homeowner. In case of trouble,
the homeowner will use the by-pass switch to restore telephone service to their home. If the by-pass
switch is installed outdoors, it must be installed in a NEMA Type 4 enclosure (not supplied) to protect
the switch from direct exposure to rain, snow and other elements.
