To reduce the risk of
electric shock, do not
disassemble this product,
but take it to a qualified
serviceman when service
or repair work is required.
Opening or removing
covers may
expose you to
dangerous
voltages or
other risks. Incorrect
reassembly can cause
electric shock when the
appliance
is subsequently
used.

vicinity of the leak.
SAVE’THESE INSTRUCTIONS!!!
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
1. Never
install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is
specially designed for wet locations.
3. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
telephone line has
been disconnected at the network interface.
4. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

To connect the ACP to the
phone line, a RJ-31X modular
walljack
will need to be
installed
on to the existing
telephone wiring
in front of all
telephone/data equipment.
The installation for the RJ-31X
will be identical to a standard
alarm system reporting
application. The following
diagram denotes the proper
wiring of telephone cable to the
RJ-31 X walljack.

WARNING
The “Tip” and "Ring" labeling is important when attaching
wire pairs to the numbered pins. There should be no
deviation from the diagram
on page 5. Any deviation would
result
in reverse polarity problems for the phone system
and data equipment
used on the ACP. The “shorting bars”
in the RJ-31 X walljack allow for continuation of voice service
to the phone system when the 8-wire line
cord is unplugged. If
the line cord is unplugged from the ACP and still left attached
to the walljack,
calls will not get through to the phone system.
In this section, we
will detail
the most common types of
wiring configurations found
in a
business location. The proper
installation point for the
RJ-31X walljack
in each wiring
configuration
is represented by
a black box labeled “31X”.
Installing the RJ-31X at that
point or
before on the incoming
phone line should guarantee
correct operation of the ACP
unit.
Single Line
Installation
RJ-31X placement in a single-
line wiring configuration occurs
before all existing phone
equipment. The wiring
config-
uration is characterized by a
single incoming phone line
with single or multiple
RJ-11
walljacks.

Two Line Installation
RJ-31X installation on a two
line phone system is basically
the
same as a single line
installation, but with a few
exceptions.
A) If “Rollover” is present,
install the RJ-31 X walljack
on the last line of the
“Rollover” sequence.
B) If the existing wiring
is in a
RJ-14 configuration, the two
phone lines
will need to be
separated for installation of
the RJ-31X walljack
on the
chosen line.

By utilizing a 4/8 pin series
T-connector
on a regular
RJ-11 C walljack, the ACP can
be connected to the existing
phone line without installing a
RJ-31X walljack. The ACP line
cord
plugs into the 8-pin side of
the T-connector and the phone
can be plugged into the
4-pin
side.
Note:
If more than one RJ-11 C
jack
is present on the existing
phone wiring, the
4/8 pin series
T-connector should be inserted

on the first incoming walljack
on the phone line. The phone
line wire running to the next
walljack should be discon-
nected at the first walljack. This
will ensure that all incoming
calls will be routed through the
ACP. If the additional RJ-1 1C
walljacks are needed for phone
extensions, simply crimp
an
RJ-11 C modular plug on the
end of the disconnected line
and plug it in to the RJ-11 C
side of the 4/8 pin T-connector.

Functions/
Operations Check
After installing the ACP on the
phone line, it
is wise to make a
“functions check” of the unit
and the phone system wiring.
To
check the phone system
wiring:
1. Check all telephones for dial
tone. If
none is present,
unplug the 8-wire line
cord
(which connects the ACP to
the phone line) from the
RJ-
31X walljack. If dial tone is
returned to the phones after
unplugging the line
cord,
check the line cord
connection at the
LINE/DEVICE
1” port of the
ACP 3/5. Reconnect the line
cord to the RJ-31X walljack.
Dial tone should be returned
to the phone system.
2. If dial tone
is present but you
can not dial out on the line,
the phone
line polarity may
need to be reversed. This
can be done by switching
the “tip and ring” wires
on
the incoming line at the RJ-
31 X walljack.
3. After connecting the
specified data equipment to
the
device ports at the rear
of the ACP (DEVICE
2/DEVICE 3 for the ACP
3-DEVICE
2/DEVICE
3/DEVICE 4/DEVICE 5 for
the ACP
5), the unit should
be tested for
call routing
capability. This can be done
by contacting the central
office or location that will be
polling such equipment and
give them the location phone
number and
device selection
codes (if known).
TO THE INSTALLER: If the
ACP 3 or 5 fails to operate at
any time after installation
please
contact the location
supervisor or corporate MIS
Manager.

degradation of service
in some
situations.
Repairs to certified equipment
should be made by
an author-
ized Canadian maintenance
facilitydesignated by the
supplier.
Any repairs or
alterations made by the
user to
this equipment, or equipment
malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company
cause to request the
user to
disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their
own protection that the
electrical ground connections
of the power
utility, telephone
lines and
internal metallic water
pipe system, if present, are
connected together. This
precaution may be particularly
important
in rural areas.
Caution: Users should not
attempt to make
such con-

should contact the appro-
priate electric inspection
authority, or electrician, as
appropriate.
The Load Number (LN)
assigned to each terminal
device denotes the percentage

consist of any combination of
devices subject only to the
requirement that the total of
the Load Numbers of
all the
devices does not exceed 100.
Notice:
This product has been
tested and meets the Class B
limits for radio noise emissions
set out by the Radio
Inter-
ference Regulations of the

FCC Registration
This equipment complies with
Part 68 of the FCC rules. On
the bottom of this equipment is
ll

a label that contains, among
other information, the FCC
Registration Number and
Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN) for this equipment. You
must, upon request, provide
this information to your
telephone company.
The
REN is used to determine
the quantity of devices
you
may connect to your telephone
line and
still have all of those
devices ring when your
telephone number
is called. In
most, but not
all areas, the
sum of the
RENs of all devices
connected to one line should
not exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of
devices
you may connect to
your line, as determined by the
REN, you should contact your
local telephone company to
determine the maximum
REN
for your calling area.
If your telephone equipment
causes harm to the telephone
network, the telephone
company may discontinue your
service temporarily. If possible,
they
will notify you in advance.
But if advance
notice isn’t
practical,
you will be notified as
soon as possible.
You will be
informed of your right to
file a
complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone
company may
make
changes in its facilities,
equipment, operations or
procedures that could affect
the proper functioning of your
equipment. If they do,
you will
