The Control Unit
The control unit for the Models 1030 and 3070 is pictured on page 22. The model 1030 control unit is the lower half of the unit shown. Addition of the Expansion Unit, or top half of the unit shown, makes the 1030 control unit a 3070 control unit. The numbers on the diagram match the numbers on the following descriptions of control unit parts.
Power Module: Reduces ac power to a level the system can handle.
●Circuit Breakers. Automatically cut the power to the control unit if an overload occurs.

Module A: Reserved for future use.
Services Module B: An optional module that allows con- nection of the following optional equipment:
●PFTT (Power Failure Transfer Telephone) Jack. Per- mits connection of four basic modular telephones for use as backup during commercial power outage; system automatically switches service to them if power fails.

Voice Terminal Module:Provides jacks for ten voice ter- minals. You can have up to three Voice Terminal Modules. A different module that adds jacks for 9 basic
●0 begins the numbering of the first set of voice ter- minal jacks on the module. These jacks determine the intercom number of the voice terminals plugged into them (0 is intercom 10, 1 is intercom 11, etc.).
●5 begins the numbering of the second set of voice terminal jacks on the module.
Module C:
Expansion Unit: Transforms the Model 1030 control unit into a Model 3070 control unit. This unit increases overall system capacity from 10 lines and 30 voice terminals to 30 lines and 70 voice terminals. It can accommodate two Power Modules, up to four Line Modules, and up to four Voice Terminal Modules for telephone connection. It also contains two additional modules for future use.
