V-9924B
COMMON AUDIBLE RINGING UNIT
GENERAL
The Common Audible Ringing Unit provides an
audible signal over the paging system when there is
an incoming call. It is used between a telephone
system and the public address system.

Dimensions/Weight
•8.20" H x 4.55" W x 2.30" D
(20.83cm H x 11.56cm W x 5.84cm D)
•1.3 lbs. (.59kg)
Power Requirements
The V-9924B requires a -24VDC "B" battery and
draws 50mA idle and 300mA maximum operating.
Signal Requirements
The V-9924B requires interrupted ringing or buzzer
voltage or dry contact closure to operate. The output
of the V-9924B will follow the interruptions of the
input. The ringing voltage should be approximately
105VAC and the current requirement would be 8mA.
The buzzer voltage should be approximately 18VAC
and the current requirement would be 10mA. The
V-9924B pulls approximately 3mA through a dry
contact closure for activation. Ringing and buzzer
voltages cannot be applied simultaneously. Use only
one method of activation.

INSTALLATION
Precautions
Failure to observe the following precautions could
result in damage to the V-9924B and other
equipment.
a. Unplug the power supply when connecting the
power leads and signal leads to the unit. These
leads are brought in on adjacent terminals.
Accidental bridging of these two terminals could
damage the equipment.
b. Use pared crossconnect wire for all voice
connections and voltages.
c. Set all volume controls to their minimum
(Counter clockwise) level.
Mounting
Remove the metal mounting plate from the rear of
the V-9924B enclosure. Using two #6 ¾" wood
screws, mount the plate in a vacant space on the
backboard with the telephone system common
equipment. Both mounting holes must be utilized to
insure secure mounting of the unit. See Figure 1A.
Open the V-9924B enclosure to access connections
and option switches. Slide the rear of the unit
(Contains the board) onto the mounting plate and
lock in place with screw provided. Make
connections.
Signaling Connections
The V-9924B can be activated via ringing voltage,
buzzer voltage or a dry contact closure. When used
with buzzer voltage, apply one side of the pair to SIG
COMMON (Pin 11 or 26) and the other side of the
pair to 18VAC SIG (Pin 12 or 27). For ringing
voltage connections, put one side of the pair on SIG
COMMON (Pin 11 or 26) and the other side of the
pair to 105VAC SIG (Pin 13 or 28). The V-9924B
can also be activated by connecting one side of a dry
contact closure to pin 7 and the other side of the dry
closure to pin 22.
Speaker Connections
The V-9924B Common Audible Ringing Unit is
capable of switching up to three zones of speakers to
the audible signal generated by the unit. The device
is intended to be placed in series with the speakers.
Zone 1 IN (Pins 16 and 17) are connected to the
speaker/zone output leads of the page control. Zone
1 OUT (Pins 1 and 2) are connected to the speakers.
Zones 2 and 3 hook up in a similar fashion. Refer to
Figure 3 for pin numbers.
Power Connections
Connect -24VDC from the power supply to pin 15 or
30 on the crossconnect block and ground to pin 14 or
29.
Contact Closure
Two form C auxiliary contact closures are provided
on the V-9924B. These contacts follow the input
cadence and may be used for special applications.
The contact ratings are 1 Amp at 24VDC.
Set Up
After all connections are complete and double
checked, apply voltage to the unit. Place a call to the
telephone system and while ringing or buzzer is
being applied to the unit or when the dry contact
closure closes, adjust the volume of each zone by
turning the volume control clockwise for each zone.
Replace cover when all connections and adjustments
are complete and lock in place using the #6 ½"
screws provided.

OPERATION
Figure 4 shows a V-9924B simplified schematic.
When the V-9924B is idle, 1T IN is shorted to 1T
OUT, 1R IN is shorted to 1R OUT, 2T IN is shorted
to 2T OUT, 2R IN is shorted to 2R OUT, 3T IN is
shorted to 3T OUT, and 3R IN is shorted to 3R OUT.
A signal appearing at the T IN, R IN terminals will
also appear at the T OUT, R OUT terminals for each
zone.
Signaling
When ringing or buzzer voltage appears at the
signaling input leads of the V-9924B, or UNA
closure pins are connected, relays are energized and
the 1T OUT, 1R OUT, 2T OUT, 2R OUT, 3T OUT,
and 3R OUT leads are switched to the outputs of
three 5 Watt amplifiers (One for each zone). At the
same time, the electronic warble tone is connected to
the input of each of the amplifiers and the warble
signal (Will follow the interrupted ringing pattern) is
broadcast to all of the speakers. Each zone has its
own volume control so the volume can be set to a
comfortable level.
Pitch Control
A pitch control has been provided to vary the pitch of
the warble ring tone should a different pitch be
desired. Generally, this control does not require
adjustment (See Figure 2).
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
When trouble is reported, verify power is being
supplied to the unit, buzzer, ringing voltage or
contact closure appears at the unit and that there are
no broken connections at the punchdown block. To
effectively test the unit, a VOM and a lineman's test
set will be required. Use the VOM to check for
voltage from the power supply and to verify that
buzzer or ringing is coming from the telephone
system. The lineman's test set can be used to check
for the warble tones on the T OUT and R OUT leads
to the speaker. If a spare unit is available, continue
to troubleshoot by substituting a spare unit for the
suspected unit.
Assistance in troubleshooting is available from the
factory. When calling, you should have a VOM, a
telephone test set available and call from the job site.
