Add Paging, Loud Ringing and Background
Music to Centrex, PABX, IP or Key Systems
After paging, the PA-15 auto disconnects on CPC, busy signal, silence or default disconnect
timer (helps prevent accidental paging system lock-up if phone is hung-up incorrectly). The unit
will generate adjustable loud ringing from an independent ringing analog FXS / PABX / Centrex
station or from a dry contact closure. The PA-15 can provide background music (muted during
page) if connected to an external music source.
Replaces the CPA-7B, provides twice the power and many new features (shown in bold below).

The PA-15 interfaces with virtually any telephone sys-
tem to provide 15 watts of paging power - enough to
drive fifteen 8-ohm paging horns or speakers.
The PA-15 provides 36V talk battery for interfacing
with an FXO or unused analog line input/trunk port.
With the flip of a switch, the unit can connect to a FXS
or PABX/Centrex station ring trip port or connect to a
600 ohm paging port. When interfacing with systems
that do not provide a paging contact closure, the built-
in voice activation (VOX) is in control.
