AT&T feature module 2 system manual Supplemental Alert Adapter

Supplemental Alert Adapter

DESCRIPTION	You can connect Extra Alert Devices, such as a horn, bell, strobe, or chime, to
	your system through a Supplemental Alert Adapter (SAA) so that people
	working in noisy or remote areas of a building can be alerted when a call
	rings (Figure 2-27). The SAA does, not connect directly to the control unit;
	instead, a voice terminal connected to the control unit also connects to the
	SAA. When you activate the SAA and the voice terminal rings, the adapter
	automatically activates the connected extra alert device, which gives a visual
	or audible signal that a call has come in.

Alerting device

	An Extra Alert Switch allows you to turn an extra alert device on and off and
	alternately select between two different connected alerting devices, such as a
	strobe during business hours and a horn during off-hours. You may also
	alternate between two extra alert devices installed in different locations. In
	addition, an extra alert switch allows you to use two extra alert devices
	simultaneously. The extra alert switch is compatible with MERLIN II extra
	alert devices (-48V).
	If you want the SAA to automatically turn on the extra alert devices
	connected to the extra alert switch, plug the extra alert switch into the Alerter
	jack of the SAA.
	If you want to use extra-alerting devices simultaneously, you need to plug
	the modular cord for each device into a Line Bridging Adapter which you can
	connect to either position (1) or position (2) on the bottom of the extra
	alert switch.
	For more information, contact your equipment dealer.
HOW TO USE	To set up your SAA:
	1 Unplug the appropriate voice terminal from its modular wall jack, and
	plug into the jack labeled V.T. on your SAA.
