SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The 308 SPIRIT CS is the smallest configuration; it has up to three CO lines and eight station
lines. Adding the optional expansion unit allows growth up to six CO lines and sixteen
stations, yielding the 308/616 Spirit system.
The model 308 control unit consists of a textured, gray plastic housing and base, enclosing
the PWB (printed wiring board) and power supply. The open grillwork on the control unit
allows proper system ventilation. The control unit is approximately 16 inches wide, 8 inches
high, and 5 inches deep. A fully equipped unit (308/616) weighs less than 10 pounds.
The system functions over 2-pair wiring and uses loop-start lines for the CO (central office)
facilities. The SPIRIT CS can be configured behind another PBX or cross-connected directly
to the CO. Stations cabled with tinsel cord, which does not have the twisted-pair structure
required to transmit data, have to be within 25 feet of the controller to function properly. If
stations are wired with twisted-pair solid-conductor cable, the working limits are 1000 feet
from the controller.
The ALERT, PAGE, LINE AUX, TELCO LINES, and STATIONS connectors are positioned and
labeled as shown in Figure 1. An RCA phono jack interfaces MOH (Music-On-Hold). The
MOH volume control can be easily adjusted by hand.

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Proper grounding is fundamental as protection against lightning/power surges, power
crosses on CO lines, and static discharge to equipment. The green-wire ground of the AC
outlet is the only ground serving the SPIRIT system. It must be connected to the building

ground. Use the following procedures to verify grounding:
Check the AC outlet wiring with an Ideal 61-035 tester or equivalent. The tester
comes with instructions.
Visually inspect the telco protection bonding to the AC power ground. Ensure that
local practices have been followed. To minimize costs, no more than 10 minutes
are allowed for this inspection. If more than 10 minutes is required, do not
complete the inspection.
If you find inadequate grounding/protection, and the the customer owns the
equipment or has a sales-type lease, warn him/her that lightning and power-surge
damage are excluded from warranty and contract coverage. Also tell the customer
that the risk from operating equipment without adequate protection is quite high.
The customer can buy a TII1428 AC power line surge protector (PEC 8310-001).
While surge protection purchase is not required when buying the system, remind
the customer that lightning and power surge damage are excluded from warranty
and contract coverage. Purchase of the surge protector is a way to reduce, but
not eliminate, the customer’s risk, If s/he is under a term plan, the surge protector
can be installed at AT&T expense, if local practice calls for it.

®
CS.
Administer system-level features - Use the system planner and ensure that a copy
is retained with the control unit for programming. The system must be
reprogrammed if the control unit is replaced.
Connect the system to the network interface - Wire to the RJ connecting blocks at
the demarcation point.
Install auxiliary equipment - Includes remote bell, music source, or paging system.
Test the system - Verify controller and set operation.
Customer education - The systems technician’s responsibility; you will become
familiar with the customer training outline in the User Training Manual. lt will guide
your presentation.
At this point, take time to read the Customer Installation Instructions Manual in its entirety.

SPIRIT WIRING PLAN
The SBDS (Small-Business Distribution System) wiring plan for the SPIRIT is the same plan
used for the MERLIN CS. The SPIRIT system requires two-pair wiring, but four-pair wiring is
used to facilitate migration to four-pair systems in the future. Unlike MERLIN CS control
units, SPIRIT control units ship WITHOUT 267C adapters. If these are needed, you must
provide them from your supply. Their cost is covered in the flat-rate wiring billed to the
customer. Station sets ship WITH mounting cords.

Product Information Guide
EXTERNAL PAGING EQUIPMENT
The PagePac 1 (for systems with optional public address system) is a loudspeaker paging
system with 1-way transmission. Answerback paging is not supported by the SPIRIT CS.
Typical hardware provided with the system is a PowerMate amplifier, speakers and wiring.
The amplifier connects to the control unit via a 4-conductor, 6-position modular cord. We
recommend a direct connection from the control unit whenever possible. The speakers
connect through 2-conductor, RCA-jack ended cords. The PowerMate is supplied with six
24-foot cords, “Y” adapters and three speakers.
AUXILIARY LINES
There are two LINE AUX jacks on the 308 controller, and one on the 616 expansion unit. The
jacks bridge the CO lines at the control unit, and are the connection to an outside line
during a power failure. A standard (tip/ring) 2500 set or equivalent must be used for
power-failure telephones. In the event of a commercial power failure, programmed system
information will be retained in memory indefinitely.
The jacks are also useful as dedicated lines for answering machines, facsimile machines,
and modems. If an answering machine is cabled to LINE AUX jack 1 on the 308 and is in-
use (off-hook), the incoming line 1 button appearance cannot be accessed at the station set.
LINE AUX jack 2 on the 308 control unit bridges line 2, and the LINE AUX jack on the 616
expansion unit bridges incoming line 4.
