INTRODUCTION
The PagePal unit interfaces most telephone sys-
tems (PBX, KTS, Centrex) to virtually any public
address audio system.
In addition, PagePal furnishes inputs for customer
provided background music and auxiliary inputs
(such as an attendant microphone, a radio
receiver, recorded announcements). Control
inputs are provided for tones generated by the
PagePal. PagePal can be placed on a desk or
shelf, or mounted to a wall.
Note: Only line level microphones may be used
with PagePal.

INSTALLATION
Input Access / Switch Settings
A four position slide switch is used to select the
telephone access mode.
•(LS) Loop Start
Used with a Loop Start Trunk Port of a PBX or
Key System, or a dedicated phone set.
•(GS/LSS)
Ground Start/Loop Start Supervised
Access from a PBX Ground Start Trunk Port.
In this mode, the PBX ground must be con-
nected to pin 1 of the 20-pin connector on the
PagePal®or pin 2 of the RJ11 connector on
the PagePal.
In Loop Start Supervised mode, pin 7 of the
PagePal must be connected to pin 1 on the
20-pin connector to allow supervision of the
Loop Start Trunk Port. The PagePal will super-
vise the connection, and will automatically dis-
connect the line if no voice is detected on the
line for 20 seconds or if the line remains active
(off hook) for more than one minute.
•(SA) Station Access
Used with a standard (ANALOG) station port
on a CENTREX, PBX, Key System, or Central
Office subscriber line. Use a two-wire RJ11
cable in this mode. The PagePal receives talk
battery and ring voltage from the host system.
•(DL) Dry Loop
Interfaces with the Page Port of a PBX or Key
System, or an Auxiliary port of a PBX. This
input shall respond to resistances from 0 to 1K
Ohms and will ignore resistance greater than
10K Ohms. Use a four-wire RJ11 cable in this
mode. Dry Loop is a four wire connection.
Pins 2 and 5 of the RJ11 are intended to inter-
face with the control leads of the host system,
while pins 3 and 4 connect to Tip and Ring, as
usual. See Table 2 for pinout descriptions.
Main Output
Adjusts level of output. Full clockwise rotation
provides 14 dBm gain.
Set the Main Output level first using telephone
input, then adjust Attendant and Music Inputs for
an appropriate relative level.
Attendant Input
Adjusts level of Attendant Input relative to the
Telephone Input. Adjustment range isfrom 0 dBm
to less than -30 dBm.
Music Input
Adjusts level of Music Input relative to the Tele-
phone Input. Adjustment range is from 0 dBm to
less than -30 dBm.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
When calling, have a VOM and a telephone test
set available and call from the job site. Call (540)
427-3900 and ask for PagePac Technical Sup-
port, or call [phone] for Valcom 24-hour

Alert Tone 2 is not functioning. Check the connection to the back panel, pins 1 and 4 of J2.
Check the MAIN OUTPUT volume control setting.
Verify using an Ohm meter that a contact closure is being
provided from the host equipment.
A higher priority in the PagePal®is active.
When using the PagePal in the
Page Port mode a busy tone is
returned when attempting to
access the PagePal.
Verify that the Telephone Access Switch is in the proper
position for the application. (DL)
Verify that Attendant Access is not active.

Verify that the Telephone Access Switch is in the proper
position for the application. (GS)
Tip and Ring may be reversed (the Ring is always more
negative than the Tip).
Excessive loop length.
The PagePal answers a station
call, then immediately hangs up. Verify that the Telephone Access Switch is in the proper position for the application (SA not GS).
Dry loop (Page Port) mode won't
access PagePal. Pins 2 and 5 of the RJ11 connector must be closed by a contact from the PBX when access is desired.
Alert Tone 1 is not functioning. Check the connection to the back panel, pins 1 and 3 of J2.
Check the MAIN OUTPUT volume control setting.
Verify using an Ohm meter that a contact closure is being
pro- vided from the host equipment.
A higher priority in the PagePal is active.
Attendant Access is not
functioning. Check the connection to the back panel, pins 1 and 2 of J2.
Check the MAIN OUTPUT volume control setting.
Check the ATTENDANT INPUT volume control setting.
Verify using an Ohm meter that a contact closure is being
pro- vided from the host equipment.
Hum, buzz or noise on the output
in the Attendant Access mode
with a Attendant Access source
connected in an unbalanced
configuration.
Using a jumper wire, short the un-used Attendant Access
input pin to pin 8 of J2.
Low Volume on the output. Adjust gain controls.
The wrong impedance is attached to the output.
