Rear view showing USB jack for connecting to a computer, two modular phone jacks for
connecting to two (UC-02B) or four (UC-04B) phone lines or other audio sources to be
recorded, and optional 5vDC jack to power accessories (the recorder is powered via the
USB cable, not this jack). The LAN and 232 labels have no meaning with TeleCorder
models UC-02B and UC-04B. There are no connections behind the LAN and 232 labels.
2. Connecting to Phone Lines and Other Audio Sources
TeleCorder inputs require 2-wire analog audio such as from direct connection to analog phone lines,
two-way radios, amplified microphones, telephone handset or headset audio (analog or digital phones,
using direct connection to earpiece audio or with the optional TSA-3LM or TSA-SLM adapters), etc.
a.
Connecting Audio Sources to the 2 Channel TeleCorder Model UC-02B
The TeleCorder connects in parallel to your audio sources. There are two modular
phone jacks on the back of the TeleCorder Model UC-02B. Each jack is wired for
connection to one of the two channels using the center pair of contacts (as with standard
RJ-11 phone jacks). When looking at the back panel, the jack on the left is for channel
one (also called “Port 1”), and the jack on the right is for channel two (also called “Port
2”). The left jack is also wired for both channels as with standard RJ-14 phone jacks (see
image at right — Ch-1 on inside pins 3+4, Ch-2 on adjacent pins 2+5).
Note
: If using the
left jack only for connection to channel one, there must not be any connection to pins 2 &
5 as these pins also connect to pins 3 & 4 on the right jack.
Two T-18 cables (18' phone line cable with T-adapter,
photo at left) are supplied with the recorder. You can use
these or other suitable cables to connect to your phone lines
or other audio sources.
If you wish to record from multiple line analog phones
or digital telephone sets, instead of individual phone lines,
the most popular way to connect is with a handset splitter. The handset splitters (such as the Omnicron
TSA-3LM or TSA-SLM) are available from your TeleCorder representative. Your sales representative can
also assist you in selecting other cables or adapters to simplify installation for your application.
b. Connecting Audio Sources to the 4 Channel TeleCorder Model UC-04B
Each modular phone jack on the back of the TeleCorder UC-04B has connections for two phone lines
or other audio sources. When looking at the back panel, the jack on
the left is for Ports 1 and 2, the jack on the right is for Ports 3 and 4.
The modular jacks use pins 3 & 4 for the first input (center
pair), and pins 2 & 5 for the second input (see the drawing above
right). Each individual input can be referred to as either a Channel
or Port.
If it is more convenient to install using separate cables for each
channel, use the supplied MTJ-S2 line splitter (photo at right). Plug
the short cable from the MTJ-S2 into one of the modular jacks on
the back of your TeleCorder. Plug the first phone line or other audio
source to be recorded into the jack labeled Line 1, and the second
phone line or other audio source into the jack labeled Line 2.
