Ribbon Out cable to the Ribbon In of the next QAZT-5302 or P1 of the next display panel (up to six total). See diagram below. QAZT-5302DS can be used as a telephone or paging selector panel by installing a jumper, see diagram below.
FleX-Net Installation and Operation Manual Telephone Operation 1. When any telephone zone rings (the local buzzer sounds intermittently, and the green zone LED and Incoming Call LED flash) press that zone's button (on the selector panel QAZT-5302/DS) once to answer. Once any one zone has been answered, calls from any other zone will cause that zone's green LED and the Incoming Call LED at the master telephone to flash and the buzzer will sound.
