Before Installation
Have the telephone company install two telephone lines, each terminated with an RJ-31X jack
immediately above or as close as possible to the fire alarm control panel. Be prepared to supply
the telephone company with the FCC information printed on the FCC and/or Industry Canada
label.
Caution: Do not direct-connect the DACT to a coin telephone or party line. Be sure that the
telephone lines that you are connecting the DACT to are standard analog lines and not
digital (PBX), party, or coin telephone lines. The line must not have any Telephone
Company (TELCO) features such as “CALL WAITING”, etc.
Connecting the
2080-9047
Harness to the
DACT and RJ-31X
Jacks
The connection to the RJ-31X jacks must be made via the modular jack in installations where the
DACT will share the telephone line with premises phones or other equipment. Use two Simplex
harnesses for this connection - 2080-9047 (14 feet).
Refer to Figure 3 as you read the following instructions.
1. Connect the 2080-9047 Harness to the TB3 and TB4 screw terminals on the DACT as shown in
Figure 3.
2. The two telephone line harnesses must take separate paths from the host FACP to the RJ-31X
blocks. Use cable tie-wraps to provide strain relief for these cables. Secure the cables to any
standoff or metal fixture along the cable run between the DACT and the panel exit.
3. Connect one harness to each RJ-31X jack.
Note: TELCO wiring is supervised.
