Central Station Tips

Back-up Receiver

Telephone Lines

Emergency Ringers
Extension ringers for incoming receiver telephone lines are available from telephone
equipment supply companies. They ring briefly to indicate an incoming call. If they continue to
ring, your receiver is out-of-service. The ringer has a volume control, but in a high traffic
central station, you might prefer to use beehive lights instead of ringers.
Rotary Lines
Notice!
i
Use rotary receiver lines (hunt groups) to prevent delay in alarm signals during periods of
busy central station traffic
Rotary lines are also important for providing alternate paths when a line is out of service. To
use this feature have your dispatcher dial the out-of-service line and leave the calling
telephone off the hook. This creates a busy signal on the line to all incoming communicators.
The communicators automatically switch to an unused line. The telephone company provides
rotary service when ordered.
Notice!
i
UL and Factory Mutual central station service standards require constant monitoring of tele-
phone lines.

resistance of the receiver ground to another ground. If the meter reads above 2Ω, check your
receiver ground against a third ground. If the difference is still greater than 2Ω, ground your
