Introduction
This document describes the practices to be adopted by field engineers during installation and
maintenance of
the BT Versatility. A more detailed description of the product, along with customer
programmable facilities and features, may be found in the BT Versatility
Owner's Manual, which should
be read in conjunction with this document.
General overview
• The BT Versatility is a new converged PBX and Data product, which can be connected to Analogue ,
ISDN and LAN networks.
• The BT Versatility is a hybrid PABX/key-system, which may be equipped with Featurephones (V8 or
V16) or standard two wire DTMF telephones. Extensions can also be equipped with Fax or Answering
machines.
• The BT Versatility is modular in construction and can be upgraded by adding various system
expansion modules (Ports Modules, Options Module, Music on Hold module and Internet Module).
• The BT Versatility allows Voice connectivity to ISDN and Analogue MF or LD exchange lines.
• The BT Versatility may be configured with up to four internal S-Bus interfaces for connection to
approved ISDN apparatus.
• The BT Versatility is a versatile, easy-to-use system, which is simple to install and maintain.
• The BT Versatility Internet Module. This provides Data connectivity to the Internet via ISDN or ADSL
lines. It also provides an internal LAN.
The CE Marking on this equipment indicates compliance with the
following:
This device conforms to Directive 1999/5/EC on Radio Equipment
and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment as adopted by the
European Parliament And Of The Council.

Safety Precautions during installation and system upgrades
Always unplug or isolate the mains supply when installing or upgrading the system.
After installing the central control unit (CCU) and all required modules, ensure
that the following points are checked before switching the mains power on:
• The cabled extensions have a DTMF telephone or a (V8/V16) Featurephone
connected.
• The CCU cover is in place and locked.
After switching on the Mains allow approximately 30 seconds for the CCU to go through its power up
routine.
Electrostatic precaution (ESP)
The BT Versatility contains electrostatic components. To ensure long-term reliability of the system,
electrostatic precautions should be taken when handling any of the system PCBs that are not enclosed in
plastic. An ESP pillar is located on the CCU MDF.
Lightning and surge voltage protection
Extension cabling should not be exposed to high voltage surges, (for example,
surges induced by lightning or neighbouring high current-carrying cables). If
this is a possibility, external protection of the Main Equipment and Extensions
using ‘earthed line surge protectors’ is essential.

Installing the Central Control Unit
CCU Location(CCU)
The CCU is intended for installation in a residential or office-type environment. It needs to be mounted at
a convenient working height on a dry, flat wall. The normal height is 1.5 m from the floor to the bottom of
the CCU case.
Do not site the CCU where it will be subjected to excessive levels of heat, dust,
damp or high humidity. Locating the equipment near sources of electromagnetic
radiation, such as heavy electrical switch gear, lift machinery or electric arc welders,
should be avoided.
Allow at least 150 mm of free space all around the CCU for ventilation.
The CCU needs to be located within two metres of a dedicated mains power supply outlet. The CCU must
not share the same mains supply socket with any other electrical appliance.
Mounting the CCU
When a suitable location has been found, mark the screw locations on the mounting surface, using the
mounting bracket provided.
If the CCU is being mounted on masonry or plasterboard, suitable wall plugs must be used. Drill and plug
four holes in the wall at the marked locations. The holes should be deep enough to accept a 2.5cm screw.

CCU Mounting bracket clearances
The main unit is mounted on a wall using the bracket supplied and should have top and side clearance as
shown below.
CCU Mounting Bracket
If the system is to be equipped with a Ports, Options or Internet module then two mounting brackets need
to be installed.

Mounting the CCU
The CCU is mounted on the bracket by sliding it on from the left hand side. The marks on the side of the
CCU must be lined up with the flanges on the wall bracket as shown below before sliding the CCU into
place. When you slide it fully to the right-hand side of the bracket the CCU is automatically locked in
place.
To remove the CCU depress the lock located on the left-hand side of the wall bracket. Slide the CCU to
the left to remove it from the bracket.
