Edwards RJ-31X Telephone Jack Installation

A P P L I C A T I O N I R E A L A R M TELEPHONE JACK INSTALLATION bulletin details the proper installation and testing of a modular RJ 31X jack u r p o s e e s c r i p t o n RJ 31X jack is designed to facilitate wiring of an alarm panel and premise telephone on the phone line while assuring that the processing of alarm signals has priority line seizure over a call o w h e y w o r k When no connector is plugged into the RJ 31X jack the telco ring and tip signals input terminals 4 5 are fed directly to the output terminals 1 and 8 feeding the premise telephone set When a DACT is plugged into the RJ 31X socket the ring and tip signals are fed via the modular directly to the dialer line seizure relay If the dialer is not in use the ring and tip signals are back down the modular cable to RJ 31X output terminals 1 and 8 to the telephone set During alarm condition the line seizure relay in the dialer operates disconnecting the telephone set connecting the internal dialer electronics to the phone line then dials the central monitoring CMS A telco feature known as party disconnect lets the dialer disconnect a call originated off premise in order to re establish a dial tone for calling the Central Monitoring CMS i r i n g d i a g r a m red pin modular green T taps phones DACT Number 85027 0003 TELEPHONE JACK INSTALLATION e q u i r e d h a r d w a r e RJ 31X Jack Telephone or Test set butt set e s t i n g To verify correct wiring and operation the best tool for the job is a lineman test set also known in industry as a set Monitor the signals on the RJ 31X as follows During a non alarm condition a dial tone should be present on input terminals 4 and 5 and terminals 1 and 2 Remember to set the test set to the position as the creates an off hook condition that may interfere with the dialer Most test sets are equipped red and black insulators on the five way clips as a reminder of the correct polarity for the pair and the black yellow pairs Verify telephone set disconnects during an alarm by connecting the test set to output terminals 1 8 and verify the dial tone goes dead during an alarm You can monitor the entire process by connecting the test set to terminals 4 and 5 Test for unauthorized wiring ahead of the RJ 31X by unplugging the phone line from the dialer leave the patch cord plugged into the RJ 31X Listen for a dial tone on all phones connected phone with a dial tone is improperly connected ahead of the RJ 31X jack phone with a dial tone is improperly connected ahead of the RJ 31X jack the circuit Any phone with a dial tone is improperly connected ahead of the RJ 31X jack phone with a dial tone is improperly connected ahead of the RJ 31X jack phone with a dial tone is improperly connected ahead of the RJ 31X jack must be rewired to the output terminals must be rewired to the output terminals must be rewired to the output terminals must be rewired to the output terminals must be rewired to the output terminals you have a two line system repeat the process for the second line Once your wiring has been a full system test should be conducted to verify CMS primary and secondary phone as well as customer account numbers are correctly programmed into the dialer e f e r e n c e m a t e r i a l s NFPA72 2002 Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter DACT FSDACT See FireShield Manual P N 3100353 is our intention to keep application information current and accurate We can not cover specific applications or anticipate all requirements All specifications are to change without notice For information or questions relative to this Application Bulletin contact Edwards Signaling Security Systems 203 699 3300 Genesis and Signature Series are trademarks of Edwards Systems Technology 2005 Edwards Signaling Security Systems
