EXTERNAL PAGING EQUIPMENT

The PagePac 1 (for systems with optional public address system) is a loudspeaker paging
system with 1-way transmission. Answerback paging is not supported by the SPIRIT CS.
Typical hardware provided with the system is a PowerMate amplifier, speakers and wiring.
The amplifier connects to the control unit via a 4-conductor, 6-position modular cord. We
recommend a direct connection from the control unit whenever possible. The speakers
connect through 2-conductor, RCA-jack ended cords. The PowerMate is supplied with six
24-foot cords, "Y" adapters and three speakers.

AUXILIARY LINES

There are two LINE AUX jacks on the 308 controller, and one on the 616 expansion unit. The
jacks bridge the CO lines at the control unit, and are the connection to an outside line
during a power failure. A standard (tip/ring) 2500 set or equivalent must be used for
power-failure telephones. In the event of a commercial power failure, programmed system
information will be retained in memory indefinitely.
The jacks are also useful as dedicated lines for answering machines, facsimile machines,
and modems. If an answering machine is cabled to LINE AUX jack 1 on the 308 and is in-
use (off-hook), the incoming line 1 button appearance cannot be accessed at the station set.
LINE AUX jack 2 on the 308 control unit bridges line 2, and the LINE AUX jack on the 616
expansion unit bridges incoming line 4.
