INTRODUCTION This Installation and Maintenance Guide provides an overall technical reference on the KAREL MS224 system and its accessories and includes descriptions, structures and capabilities as well as the installation and maintenance information. This guide is formed up of three main chapters: 1) Technical Reference: The system outline is given and all the accessories are described.
I. SYSTEM MS224 system has a capacity of 4 to 28 lines and 12 to 200 extensions. At minimum capacity, the MS224 system consists of the following parts : • CBN224 Cabinet made of metal, including a metal rack and some plastic parts, •...
In order to make the reader familiar with the cabinet which has a complex structure, the parts list for the cabinet is given below with respect to the references in the following figure. Karel MS224 Installation & Maintenance Guide Edition 3.2...

H. CBL-16 16-Pair MDF Cable Mains Cable I.2. BACKPLANE OF THE SYSTEM – BPL224 The backbone of MS224 system is the BPL224 Backplane. All the modules, which are SPS224, CPU224, MS224 EX1 and MS224 EX2, are linked through the backplane.
I.3. POWER TO THE SYSTEM MS224 system receives 220 VAC from the mains. Inside the mains fuse slot on SPS128 Power Supply Module, there exist two T-type fuses for mains - one on phase and the other on neutral - of 2 A / 250 VAC for the first step protection (see Figure A-5).

SPS224CR and ring transformer are passed to the BPL224 Backplane, which carries them to the system modules. The pin-out of the SPS224 – BPL224 connector on the backplane is as follows: Karel MS224 Installation & Maintenance Guide Edition 3.2...
+ 5 VCPU 64 Vrms (Ring) MS224 system can be backed up with a battery of 24 VDC in order to provide the continuity of the operation in case of mains failure. Hence, SPS224CR has necessary circuitries for battery backup. It is strongly recommended to use a dry battery for proper operation of the system, as the system does not have embedded power failure transfer stations.

MS224 CPUKON card. There exists a plastic card cover in front of MS224 CPUKON card, which is fixed to the top and bottom front parts of the metal rack via the the locks on the plastic card cover, but not to MS224 CPUKON card itself.
Page 14
MS224 CPUKON is the interface between the accessories and the system, it includes the connectors used to attach the accessories to the system. CPU224 generates the address and data signals for the MS224 EX1 and MS224 EX2 Expansion Modules and gives them to the BPL224 Backplane, via the 96-pin connector on BPL224.

INP2 GNDCPU There is a LED on the front panel of CPU224 and another one on MS224 CPUKON. During normal operation they blink continuously. During a Reset or a Parameter Download they remain on. So, the state of the system can be monitored by way of these LEDs.
Figure A-8 The dimensions of CPU224 are 24.5 cm x 25.5 cm and the weight is 0.3 kg. The dimensions of MS224 CPUKON are 18.5 cm x 3 cm and the weight is 0.15 kg. I.5. EXPANSION MODULES - MS224 EX1 / MS224 EX2 MS224 EX1 and MS224 EX2 modules are used to increase the system capacity.

II.4. EXTERNAL ANNOUNCEMENT SYSTEM Any external announcement system can be connected to MS224 through the 4-pin RJ socket (the same socket used by DY01 doorphone) on MS224 CPUKON card. II.5. AUTO-ATTENDANT & VOICE MAIL - EVM224 EVM224 Auto Attendant guides the external callers throughout their calls with pre- recorded messages, and hence enables the operator to work more efficiently, especially under high traffic.
EVM224 is located on the empty space inside the left cover of the system cabinet and connected to the 6-pin RJ socket (called VM) on MS224 CPUKON card via the 6-pin cable that comes already installed over the bottom rear part of the system rack.
