616 FLEX
KEY TELEPHONE SYSTEM
The Phone Box consists of a top housing and bottom
mounting plate. The top housing has a speaker,
microphone, wire terminals and electronic circuitry.
The housings are separated by inserting a thin,
flat-edged tool at the bottom rim of the assembly. By
pressing inward on the recessed retaining tab, the
assembly will open.
The connection of the Phone Box(es) to the KSU is
identical to that of the key telephone. Refer to Figure
500.8
The bottom plate of the Phone Box assembly is
fastened to the wall by mounting with customer
supplied No. 8 or larger pan head screws. The cable
is routed through the cable-entry holes provided on
the bottom plate and is connected to the screw
terminal strip on the upper housing. Four (4) screw
terminals are identified by wire color on the silk-
screened printed circuit board to correspond with the
wiring sequence at the punchdown connector at the
MDF.
The slack wiring should be pulled back through the
bottom mounting plate and the top housing snapped
shut. Refer to Sec. 630.21 Phone Box programming.
500.10 EXTERNAL MUSIC SOURCE
MUSIC-ON-HOLD, as well as BACKGROUND MU-
SIC can be connected using a customer provided
tuner, tape deck, etc. Separate Music-on-Hold and
background music volume adjustments are provided
on the KSU. Refer to Figure 400.3) Background
Music (BGM) levels are also adjustable at each key
telephone set. Connections are made on the J-I
connector, the MOH pair. Refer to Table 500.1
If background music is desired, refer to System
Features, Sec. 630.1 and enable background music.
500.1 I ALARM INSTALLATION
The 616 FLEX system may be used to transmit an
alarm signal to each station (except phone boxes) in
the system. When activated by an external alarm
system, a continuous tone is transmitted to the sta-
tion speakers. Leads from the external alarm are
connected to the 616 terminals ALMT and ALMR
Refer to Figure 500.5. Refer to System Features,
Sec. 630.1 for programming Alarm states.
After the alarm has sounded, the system must be
reset by first clearing the alarm condition on the
external system and then lifting the handset at any
station programmed to receive alarm and dialing 9.
500.12 BATTERY BACK-UP
The STARPLUS 616 FLEX can be fully supported
for complete operation during a power failure. An
externally provided 24 VDC battery package (gel
type) and float charger is required such as the Star-
plus BBU and batteries. A convenient plug for battery
connection is located on the left side of the KSU.
Refer to Figure 400.3. Table 500.1 provides exam-
ples of recommended battery sizes for 2, 4 and 8
hour back-up at various system sizes.
500.13 BATTERY BACK UP UNIT (BBU)
A. Introduction
The BBU houses two I2 V batteries connected in
series which provide 24 V of DC power. The BBU
also contains an AC input cord which provides
charging power when the batteries are not in use.
Batteries are NOT included.
A IO” I4 gauge jumper wire is provided for intercon-
nection of the two I2 V batteries. Four adapter wires
(approx. 2”) are provided for matching the exact
battery terminal size. A plastic tie wrap is provided
for securing the batteries once installed.
The BBU will interface batteries with 187 or 250 size
male faston-type tab connectors. A plastic tiewrap
is provided for securing the batteries once installed.
Any UL recognized battery may be used with the
BBU, gel type batteries are recommended. The
larger ampere hour the battery, the longer it will take
to recharge.
