and Multi-Graphic systems that are equipped with
the SCR25A module
• Momentary push-button switch (does not incor-
porate SCR circuitry)
CA19
• Designed for use in Multicom 2000 systems (does
not incorporate SCR circuitry)
• Provides press-to-call function at enhanced staff
stations that are equipped with the MCESS or
MCWESS telephone sets

The call-in switch shall be a Bogen Model ________ (spec-
ify CA10A, CA11A, CA15C, CA17, CA19, or CA21B), or
equivalent, designed for flush- or surface-mount installation
in a standard single-gang outlet box. It shall be mounted on
a brushed aluminum faceplate, 41/2" H x 23/4" W, with beveled
edges.The plate shall have two holes drilled to conform to
the positions of the tapped holes on the outlet box. Two
oval-head machine screws shall be supplied for mounting.
Use for all except CA17. The switch shall be furnished
with insulated, color-coded connecting leads, stripped and
tinned.
Use for CA10A. The switch shall be a two-position, rock-
er-type, single-pole, normally open switch, designed for use
with Bogen PI35A and SI35A systems, and Bogen Multi-
Graphic Series 115B, 2223, and 2233 systems.The depressed
position shall be momentary.When pressed, the switch shall
energize the corresponding annunciator lamp and the call-in
tone at the room selector panel, and shall maintain this con-
dition after the switch is released and until the call is
acknowledged by the operator. The holding action shall be
accomplished without the use of relays or other mechanical
devices.
Use for CA11A. The switch shall be a three-position,
rocker-type switch, designed for use with Bogen PI35A and
SI35A systems, and Bogen Multi-Graphic Series 115B, 2223,
and 2233 systems. It shall have two single-pole circuits that
are open in the normal center position, labeled TALK. One
circuit shall close when the switch is pressed downward, a
momentary position that energizes the corresponding
annunciator lamp and the call-in tone at the room selector
panel.This condition shall be maintained after the switch is
released and until the call is acknowledged by the operator.
The holding action shall be accomplished without the use of
relays or other mechanical devices. The other circuit shall
close when the switch is pressed upward to the fixed posi-
tion labeled PRIVACY. When the switch is in this position, it
shall be impossible for the system operator to monitor the
associated staff loudspeaker. However, this shall not affect
the transmission of program material or intercommunica-
tion from the control center to the loudspeaker (privacy is
not available with 2-wire call-in).
Use for CA15C. The switch shall be a two-position, rock-
er-type, single-pole, normally open switch, designed for use
with Bogen Multicom 2000 systems.The depressed position
shall be momentary. When pressed, the switch shall cause a
designated administrative phone to ring.When pressed four
times, it shall activate an “emergency call.”
Use for CA17. The switch shall be a two-position, push-
button type, single-pole, normally open switch. It shall be
designed for use with Bogen PI35A, SI35A, and Multi-
Graphic systems equipped with the Bogen SCR25A module.
The depressed, momentary position shall activate the corre-
sponding annunciator lamp and the call-in tone at the room
selector panel.
Use for CA19. The switch shall be a two-position, rocker-
type, single-pole, normally open switch, designed for use
with enhanced staff stations in Bogen Multicom 2000 sys-
tems. The depressed position shall be momentary. When
pressed, the switch shall cause a designated administrative
phone to ring.When pressed two times, it shall activate an
“emergency call.”
Use for CA21B. The switch shall be a three-position,
rocker-type switch, designed for use with Bogen Multicom
2000 systems. It shall have two single-pole circuits that are
open in the normal center position, labeled TALK. One cir-
cuit shall close when the switch is pressed downward, a
momentary position that shall cause a designated adminis-
trative phone to ring.When pressed three times, the switch
shall activate an “emergency call.” The other circuit shall
close when the switch is pressed upward to the fixed posi-
tion labeled PRIVACY. When the switch is in this fixed posi-
tion, it shall be impossible for an administrator to monitor
the associated staff loudspeaker. However, this shall not
affect the transmission of program material or intercommu-
nication to the loudspeaker.
