2.7 PSTN Module

Description of Connection

The module should be part of the Central Unit (hereinafter referred to as CU). If the CU does not contain the PSTN module, proceed as follows:

  1. Disconnect the CU from the mains supply.
  2. Loosen the three screws on the CU upper cover.
  3. Move the CU upper cover in such a way that you can remove it.
  4. Proceed with caution while removing the cover: be careful about the drain wire connecting the cover with the CU bottom part. Do not disconnect the wire unless there is a reason to do so!
  5. Disconnect the back-up rechargeable batteries if available using the battery – CU cable FASTON terminals.
  6. Mount the module on the externally threaded spacers (2) and connect it to the motherboard connector (1).

  7. Be careful while putting the module on the pins. Make sure that you have connected all the pins to the module connector.
  8. If you have mounted the connector pins correctly, use 1 bolt spacer (3) and 2 threaded spacers (4) to fit the module. Use a 5mm hex socket wrench to fit the spacers. 

  9. Now connect the PSTN line. There are 2 options: 
    1. using an RJ 11 connector
    2. using a slide-on terminal board
  10. Connect the rechargeable batteries and replace the CU cover. Tighten the 3 screws to fit the cover.
  11. Connect the CU to the mains supply.


Warning

  • While mounting the module, make sure that all the pins are fitted correctly into the connector to avoid module damage.

Note

  • A non-standard behavior of the module results in the module restarting automatically to make its functions right. In case the error re-appears after the restart, the restart timeout start to double gradually. The increasing restart timeout ensures that no instantaneous restart upon power up happens repeatedly. If the error is not eliminated even within 63 minutes after the last restart, the Central Unit is restarted.
