Linear RE-1 manual Multiple Unit Installations, Command Prefix for Multiple Units, Shared Line Mode

MULTIPLE UNIT INSTALLATIONS

Any of the four basic operation modes (Shared Line, Dedicated Line, Intercom, and Ring Down) may be used with multiple RE-1s in the same installation. The telephone line wiring is “daisy chained” (the telephone line routes through one unit to the next) as shown below. Always connect the telephone line + to TIP, and - to RING.

The Telephone Bypass Module only performs the bypass function in the Shared Line Mode, but it will provide extra electrical surge protection in all modes. A surge on the TELCO terminals will be suppressed through the EARTH GROUND terminal. Always use separate AC transformers to power each RE-1.

When multiple units are connected together, only two units can be controlled by resident telephone commands, and only one unit can be programmed to answer the telephone (PPN #33) for remote telephone commands. Remote programming via computer is not supported when using multiple RE-1s.

Command Prefix for Multiple Units

Programming and relay control may be through the individual RE-1 keypads or through the house telephone(s) when using the Shared Line or Intercom Modes. To support using the house telephone(s) to issue commands, each RE-1 must be programmed to a different “command prefi x” (PPN #72).

•Set one unit’s command prefi x to

•Set the other unit’s command prefi x to

In the case of simultaneous visitors at different units when using the Shared Line Mode, putting one RE-1 “on hold” to communicate with the second RE-1, then returning to the fi rst RE-1 is not recommended. Instead, fi nish all communications with the fi rst RE-1 before servicing the second RE-1. Simultaneous visitors at multiple units used on a single line wired in the Ring Down Mode will cause a “conference call” effect between units
