Installation and Maintenance Manual
Options Module MDF Connections
The options module is equipped with a stereo jack for an 'external Music on hold' input.
Krone IDC connectors are provided for the Central Bell and the External extension.
The Central bell and the external extension are cabled with extension cabling. They are
connected with a single pair a,b.
Central Bell
The Central Bell is cabled by running a cable pair from the central bell IDC on the
Options Module to a master line jack unit. Bells/tone callers can then be connected to
the line jack unit or hard-wired to LJU terminals 2 and 5.
External Extension
This port is designed to operate "long line" extensions up to a distance of 2 kilometres
away from the main unit and is approved for connection of 2-wire external extensions
using PTO network cabling. Extension 52 should be the only extension using this cable.
Cable limitations
• 2-wire external extension = 2 kilometres maximum cabling distance or
3 dB at 1600 Hz.
• The cable route should not be exposed to high voltage surges, such as lightning.
Note: These figures assume the use of 0.5mm
All Extensions should connect into standard line jack units. Extension
cabling should not be exposed to high voltage surges, (for example,
surges induced by lightning or neighbouring high current-carrying
cables). If this is a possibility external protection of the Main Equipment
and Extensions using 'earthed line surge protectors' is essential.
