11.

 

Installing Phone lines 
Bring in analog phone lines through conduit knockouts located on the rear, top, 
or  bottom  sides  of  the  unit.  Always  try  to  separate  power  lines  from 
communication  lines  as  much  as  possible  to  reduce  undesired  effects  on  the 
phone line. 

 
12.

 

The  AOR-8  can  support  up  to  eight  (8)  emergency  analog  phones.    The 
emergency  analog  phones  on  the  system  can  connect  to  either  the  incoming 
POTS/PSTN  line  or  the  local  phone  built  into  the  AOR-8  unit. 
 
The AOR-16 each support up to sixteen (16) emergency analog phones divided 
into two (2) banks of eight (8).  The emergency analog phones on the system 
can connect to either the incoming POTS/PSTN line or the local phone built into 
the AOR-16 unit. 

 
13.

 

Attach  the  incoming  Emergency  Phone  lines  to  ports  1-8  in  the  appropriate 
bank  as  labeled  on  the  interior  panel.    The  connections  are  NOT  polarity 
sensitive. If a POTS/PSTN line or PBX extension line is to be used in addition 
to  the  phone  built  into  the  enclosure,  connect  the  incoming  phone  line  to  the 
Telco 

“Telco IN” positions of the same bank.  

 
14.

 

Local Mode  

 

In Local Mode, pressing the button on any of the Talkaphone Area of  Rescue 
Emergency phones will cause the built in touch-tone telephone to ring. 

 
15.

 

Remote Mode 
In Remote Mode, pressing the button on any of the Talkaphone Area of Rescue 
Emergency phones will cause them to access a phone line to dial out. For this 
configuration, connect an outside phone(s) 

line to the “Telco IN” position(s) on 

the appropriate bank. 

 

NOTE:

  See  Technical  Requirements,  p.2,  for  outside  phone  line 

requirements.

Day/Night Mode 

 

Day/Night Mode is primarily used when a facility has a guard on-site during the 
day  but  not  at  night.  It  may  also  be  used  in  any  situation  where  the  guard 
station is not always manned. When a Talkaphone Area of Rescue Emergency 
Phone  calls  and  the  AOR-8  or  AOR-16  is  in  Day/Night  mode,  it  will  ring  the
