CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions
when setting the jumpers. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to or
failure of the module.
Set the jumpers
Note: The jumper (on pins 1 and 2) of header JP1 on the -115 only is set at the
factory, and must be in place for proper operation.
Using small needle-nosed pliers or similar tool to move the jumper to the desired
position.
Standard/automatic ring-down
Header JP2 is used to switch between the Standard or Automatic Ring-Down
configuration. The header is located on the top circuit board of Unit B (SAPTF33xx-
115) module. The jumper has been factory set to the standard setting, JP2, pins 1
and 2 as the default.
Figure 3 shows the jumper settings on the 115 circuit board.
• Set jumper JP2 on Unit B module to the Standard setting when using the
Standard configuration (Unit A module connected to a central office line and
Unit B directly to a phone).
• Set jumper JP2 on both Unit B modules to the Automatic Ring-Down setting
when using the Automatic Ring-Down configuration (fiber connection).
Telephone regulation
The loop current header JP2 is labeled “H” for high loop current ETSI
TBR21standard compliant telephone lines, and “L” for low loop current (20 – 30
mA) standard compliant telephone lines. Header JP2 is located on the circuit board
of Unit A (SAPTF33xx-105) module. This feature is required to comply with ETSI
telephone-line regulations. The jumper has been factory set to the low loop current
setting, JP2, pins 2 and 3 as the default.

Installation — Continued
Grounding the module
The SAPTF33XX-1XX modules come equipped with grounding lugs—
GROUNDING IS REQUIRED. See Figure 5.
The installer must consult local and/or national electrical codes and regulations or
facility grounding requirements to determine required grounding of the module.
They require a grounding conductor wire terminated with a two-hole, compression-
type grounding connector. The 2-hole grounding connector and grounding wire
(copper only) is not included and must be provided by the customer/installer. See
Figure 6.

Grounding wire size
The wire size of the Protective Earthing (ground) conductor should be greater than
or equal to the wire size of the power source conductors. The power-source
conductor wire size is installation dependent and sized to accommodate acceptable
IR losses between the power source and the device terminal block. The device
terminal block accommodates #6 wire lugs. A #6 wire lug typically terminates #16 -
#20 wire, with #18 being the most common.

Installation — Continued
Grounding the module — continued
The electrical conducting path from the module must:
• Flow via the grounding lugs to the common bonding network (CBN) as
required.
• Be of sufficiently low impedance to conduct fault currents likely to be imposed
on the module.
• Enable proper operation of any over-current protection devices.
The conductor must be fastened to the grounding lugs with the enclosed anti-rotation
star washers and lug-nut fasteners. The applied torque required for proper connection
with the lug-nut fasteners is specified by the connector’s manufacturer.
To properly ground the SAPTF33xx-1xx module:
1. Obtain one (1) grounding conductor (#12 AWG copper wire or larger is
suggested; however, the installer must consult local and/or national electrical
codes and regulations or facility grounding requirements to determine required
conductor size.) and a 2-hole compression-type grounding connector.
2. Remove the two Kepnuts.
3. Attach the grounding conductor to the module by placing the two-hole
connector onto the grounding lugs and fasten with the attached Kepnuts at the
proper torque (per the manufacturer’s specification).
4. Attach the opposite end of the grounding conductor to the common bonding
network (CBN) as required.

Operation — Continued
Loop-start operation
Loop-start service (commonly known as “Plain Old Telephone Service” (POTS) is
the primary analog signaling method used between telephone switches such as the
Central Office (CO) and a telephone device. Loop-Start provides a way to indicate
on-hook and off-hook conditions, which facilitates outgoing and incoming calls in a
voice network.
When a customer wants to make an outgoing call, the customer takes a telephone
device off-hook. This action completes the loop, which signals the CO that a
customer desires to use the telephone line. To signal the customer of an incoming
call, the CO applies a ring voltage to alert the customer.
The three states of the Loop-Start signaling protocol are described below:
Idle state (on-hook)
1. The CO applies a battery voltage to the ring lead and monitors the tip-ring
current for closure of the tip-ring.
2. The telephone device draws less than 10 µA of from the line.
Telephone in-use (off-hook)
1. The customer takes the telephone device off-hook, drawing a minimum of
20 mA of current.
2. The CO senses the tip-ring current and issues a dial tone on the line.
3. Communication can now begin.
Central office (CO) rings the telephone
1. The CO places an AC pulse-ringer voltage on top of the -48VDC ring
lead signal.
2. The telephone device uses the AC pulse-ringer voltage to operate the
ringer, which alerts the customer of an incoming telephone call.
3. The customer takes the phone off-hook, which closes the tip-ring
connection and allows the tip-ring current to flow.
4. The CO senses in DC current level and connects the call to the telephone
line.
5. Communication can now begin.

determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive ringer
loading on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing properly in response to an
incoming call. In most, but not in all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five. To be
certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs,
contact the local telephone company.
Harm to the telephone network
If the CAPTF33xx-1xx causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify
