INSTALLATION
Precautions
All precautions have been taken at the factory to
insure that the equipment functions properly when
installed correctly. Please follow the precautions
listed below before applying power to the equipment
or the equipment may be damaged and the warranty
voided.
a) If power was previously connected,
disconnect or remove power before inserting
or removing unit from the amphenol
connector.
b) Exercise caution when crossconnecting
wires that two adjacent terminals are not
bridged together.
c) Double check all connections before
applying power.
d) Use twisted pair wire for all connections.
Mounting
The Valcom V-9923B code call unit may be mounted
in a key cabinet relay rack or on the wall near the
distribution frame. When choosing a location, it is
necessary that the loop resistance of the PABX or key
system are not exceeded.
Mount the unit in a vacant space in an equipment
cabinet, rack, or key system cabinet, allowing enough
room at the rear of the unit to plug in an amphenol
connector. Mount a 66B type punchdown block near
the unit and label it per Figure 3.
Run a 25 pair cable with a female connector from the
unit to the connecting block. The cable should be
terminated on the connecting block in standard color
code order on a row of the connecting block. Verify
all connections before plugging the amphenol end of
the cable into the V-9923B code call unit.
Connections to PABX
The connections required to connect the V-9923B
to a PABX are shown in Figure 4. The V-9923B
requires a loop start trunk port from the PABX for
access. If more than one link of code call is being
provided, the second V-9923B would require a trunk
also and the two trunks should be in a hunt group
within the PABX. This arrangement allows access to
the second V-9923B if the first V-9923B is in use.
NOTE: ADVISE PERSONNEL USING CODE
CALL UNIT TO ALWAYS WAIT FOR DIAL
TONE FROM CODE CALL UNIT BEFORE
DIALING IN CODE NUMBER!
To answer the code call requires a station from the
PABX. If two code call units are being used, two
stations would be required and they would have to be
in a rotary hunt group also.
Connections to Key Systems
The connections required to connect the V-9923B
to a 1A2 key system are shown in Figure 5. The T,
R, A and L leads are multiplied to all phones in the
system. Use a spare pick-up button and install a 10K
Ohm 1/4 watt 5% resistor either in the phone or at the
connecting block in series with the A lead from each
phone. The V-9923B will discontinue the code call
paging when it recognizes two phones off hook with
two 10K Ohm resistors to ground on the A leads.
NOTE: WHEN USING 1A2 KEY TELEPHONES,
THE TO AND RO LEADS THAT WERE USED
FOR PABX CONNECTION ARE NOT USED.

Power Connections
The connections required to connect the V-9923B to
a power supply are shown in Figure 6. Correct
polarity must be observed for the unit to function
properly.
Output Connections
The V-9923B contains a tone generator and isolation
transformer to allow direct hook-up to the paging
system amplifier. The tones are applied to the output
in the coded sequence dialed into the unit. The tones
appear on the TT, (BK/S, pin 29) and the RT (S/BK,
pin 30) leads. If tones are not required as in the case
of using claxton horns, bells, buzzers, lamps, etc. a
contact closure is available. The contact is capable of
handling 1 amp @ 125 Vac or 2 amps @ 30 Vdc.
Higher current requirements should use the contact to
operate a power relay, which would switch the load.
The switched make contact input is the IN lead
(BL/BK, pin 22) and the out lead is the OUT lead
(BK/BL, pin 21).
When the switched output of the V-9923B is used to
operate a DC slave relay, it is necessary to install a
spike suppression diode in parallel with the coil of the
relay. Refer to Figure 7 for the appropriate
connections.
Option Switches
Four option switches are located through the back of
the unit near the amphenol.
Switch 1 sets either two or three digit operation.
Switch 2 allows or disallows the calling party to hear
the tones as they are sent.
Switch 3 must be left in the ON position.
Switch 4 is for flashing or solid lamp indication on
access (1A2 key systems only).
Refer to Figure 8 for Option Switch Settings.
Two Link Connection
If more than one V-9923B is being used to provide
two link operation, strap EP1 lead from first unit to
EP2 lead of second unit. Strap EP2 lead of first unit
to the EP1 lead of the second unit. A maximum of
two links is all that is possible.
OPERATION
The code call unit is accessed by placing a telephone
or a resistive short across T and R. The unit will
return dial tone to the calling party when it is ready to
accept digits.
NOTE: IN TWO LINK OPERATION, DIAL
TONE WILL BE WITHHELD FROM THE
SECOND LINK UNTIL THE CODE CALL ON
FIRST LINK IS ANSWERED TO PREVENT TWO
CODES BEING BROADCAST
SIMULTANEOUSLY.
The calling party then dials in a two or three digit
number depending upon the position of dipswitch #1
on the code call unit. After the last digit the code call
unit begins to transmit tone via the TT and RT leads
and the contact on the IN and OUT leads closes in
conjunction with the tones. The unit continues to
broadcast the codes until it is released by the calling
party going on hook or by someone answering the
code call.
When the unit is being used by a PABX, the ringing
voltage on the TO and RO leads from the PABX
station releases the code call unit and connects the
PABX trunk (access) to the PABX station (answer).
If the unit is being used with 1A2 key telephones,
when the second party goes off hook on the code call
button, the combined voltage drop across the 10K
Ohm resistors in the A leads releases the code call
unit.
The code call unit is designed so that it will finish
broadcasting a code before returning dial tone and
resetting even if answered in the middle of the code
call sequence.
Figure 9 is a simplified schematic illustrating the
main control functions contained in the V-9923B.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
When trouble is reported, verify power is being
supplied to the unit and there are no broken
connections. Be sure the amphenol is secure in the
back of the unit and the cable is terminated correctly
on the crossconnect block. Check voltages for proper
polarity on crossconnect block. If a spare unit is
available, continue to troubleshoot by substituting the
spare unit for the suspected defective unit.
Assistance in troubleshooting is available from the
factory. When calling, you should have a VOM, a
telephone test set, and several clip leads available and
be calling from the job site. Call [phone] and
ask for Technical Support, or call [phone] for
