Beam PotsDOCK Extreme Installation & User Manual page 23

Step 3 - Connect the RJ11/POTS Telephone (optional)
Any standard analogue POTS Telephone (POTS = Plain Old Telephone
Service) is supported by the PotsDOCK. It supplies power to the analogue
phone as well as Ring, Dial and Busy tones.
1. Route the telephone cabling (up to 600m) from the PotsDOCK.
2. Mount the analogue phone if required, and plug the RJ11 cable into
the PotsDOCK RJ11 port.
The RJ11 port uses the middle 2 pins of the RJ socket, which is standard for
analogue telephone cables.
Step 4 - Install the external alert button (optional)
PotsDOCK Extreme provides an additional cable pair (BROWN & GREEN wires)
from its rear cable loom, known as the BEAM alarm loop. This provides a wire loop,
when connected to any passive type of Normally CLOSED button, relay, or reed
switch in which the action breaks the loop (OPEN) to activate the alarm state.
The wires are 1.5 meters long but can be extended up to 50 meters. The
alarm loop can support multiple alarm buttons/switches but they must be
wired in SERIES. In this configuration, pressing any one of the buttons will
OPEN the loop and activate the alarm and send the SOS message.
To properly register the alarm state, the loop needs to be OPEN for at least
2 seconds (ie. holding down the button for 2 seconds activates the alarm).
