Installing the ACT Telephone
•
Follow all appropriate electrical codes and use only approved electrical
fittings for the installation.
See: Government
Certification.
•
Choose a wall location that is free of obstructions and permits space for
conduit or wire.
•
Ensure mounting can support 12 lbs. (5.5 kg) and any additional
foreseeable load.
•
Ensure that none of the electrical connection circuits are live.
•
Use the template provided to locate and drill holes for mounting screws.
•
Open the door, remove the screws on the faceplate and remove the
faceplate.
Note: Be careful when
removing the faceplate. The
circuit board is on the
faceplate.
•
Disconnect the faceplate harness.
•
To change the Tone/Pulse setting to pulse, if required:
o
Move the jumper from pins 1 & 2 of the Tone/Pulse connector to
pins 2 & 3.
Tip: The ACT is factory
preset for DTMF tone.
o
To change the setting back to tone move the jumper back to pins
1 & 2.
•
Secure the unit to the wall.
•
Bring cable into the enclosure through the conduit entrance and connect
individual wires from the exchange (Tip/Ring/Ground) to the surge
arrestor. Tip and ring are not polarity sensitive. If a conduit hub is used,
ensure it is grounded to the ground stud.
See: Figure 4 - Electrical
Connections.

Reconnect the faceplate harness.

Connections.
•
Ensure all connections are secure.
•
Replace the faceplate.
•
Test the unit by calling to and from another unit on the exchange.
