Figure 16. Installing an RJ-31X Phone Jack
3. At the TELCO protector block, remove the premises phone lines (lines from phone jacks on
premises) from the block and splice them to the black and white (or yellow) wires of the
4-conductor cable (see C in Figure 16).
Note
Connecting the panel to an
analog line off the phone
switch places the panel
ahead of the phone system
which prevents panel access
from phones on the pre-
mises. However, the panel
can still be accessed from
off-site phones.
4. Connect the green and red wires from the 4-conductor cable to the TIP (+) and RING (-) posts
on the block (see D in Figure 16).
5. Check the phones on the premises for dial tone and the ability to dial out and make phone
calls. If phones do not work correctly, check all wiring and make corrections where neces-
sary. Proceed to the “Troubleshooting” section of this manual if problems persist.
Connecting the Phone Line to the Panel with a DB-8 Cord
After installing the RJ-31X jack, you are ready to connect the phone line to the panel. A DB-8
cord (not included) uses a plug at one end for connecting to the RJ-31X module and flying leads
on the other end for panel terminal connections.
¾
To connect the DB-8 cord to the panel terminals and RJ-31X jack:
1. Connect the green, brown, gray, and red flying leads from the DB-8 cord to panel terminals
18, 19, 20, and 21 (see Figure 17).
2. Insert the DB-8 cord plug into the RJ-31X (see Figure 17).
