OPAZ
KSU
Because this Topaz KSU has been ACA approved as an Earthed-SELV Customer
Switching System for connection to a telecommunications network, the KSU Earth
terminal
E
(on the 308M System Mainboard)
MUST
be permanently connected to
Earth by connecting a minimum of 2.5mm2 green/yellow conductor cable.
This cable
MUST
be connected between a Multiple Earth Neutral (MEN) Bonding Bar
at the nearest convenient mains Switch Board to the KSU. This cable must serve no
other purpose than installing the KSU.
CAUTION:
If this cable is not installed or requires disconnection, then the
telecommunication network connection(s), namely CO and/or ISDN, must be
disconnected first from the KSU.
Liability for this installation rests solely with the licensed installer/dealer. It is
recommended that the installer provide their label and it is to be placed in the Main
Switch Board, certifying that the installation complies with the safety earthing
installation manual instructions for the Topaz KSU Section 3.1.

CAUTION
The use of monitoring, recording or listening devices to eavesdrop, monitor, retrieve or
record telephone conversations or other sound activities, whether or not
contemporaneous with its transmission may be illegal in certain circumstances under
federal or state laws. Legal advise should be sought prior to implementing any practice
that monitors or records any telephone conversation.
The telecommunications
(Interception) Act
1979 (Cth),
The telecommunications Act
1997,
The Privacy Act
1988
and State and Territory Listening Devices Legislation are all relevant. Some federal and
state laws require some form of notification to all parties to the telephone conversation,
such as using a beep tone or other notification methods, or require the consent of all
parties to the telephone conversation, prior to monitoring or recording a telephone
conversation. Some of these laws incorporate strict penalties. Section 6 of the Industry
Guidelines recommend pre-recorded messages or verbal notification to alert callers
that the calls may be monitored:
For example: “Your call may be listened to and recorded for quality and coaching
purposes. Please tell the consultant if you don’t want this to happen.”
Section 6 of the Industry Guidelines also make recommendations in relation to
notifications in writing.
