Linear RE-2 manual Telephone Wiring Options

TELEPHONE WIRING

The RE-2 connects between the incoming telephone line of the residence and local telephone sets.

Telephone Bypass Module

The RE-2’s Telephone Bypass Module provides a switch to remove the RE-2 from the telephone line and re-connect the local telephones to the telephone system. ALL TELEPHONE WIRING FOR THE

RE-2 MUST PASS THROUGH THE BYPASS MODULE.

The bypass module is housed in a weather-resistant enclosure and should be located in an area that is easily accessible to the resident. In case of system trouble, the resident can use the bypass switch to remove the RE-2 from the telephone system.

Telephone Wiring

•DO NOT ROUTE TELEPHONE AND AC WIRING INSIDE THE SAME CONDUIT. Route all telephone wires inside a dedicated conduit that is at least six inches away from any AC line wiring.

•All telephone wiring must be made on the “house” side of the telephone company’s demarcation device (the terminal block where the telephone line connects to the residence).

•If any security system or personal alert system at the residence is connected to the telephone line, be sure that it is connected to the line ahead of the Telephone Bypass Module using a RJ-31X or RJ-38X interface.

•Use only high-quality telephone wire rated for direct underground burial. All telephone wire should be twisted-pair with a minimum size of 24 AWG.

Typical Telephone Wiring

1. Connect the bypass module’s EARTH GROUND terminal to a good

earth ground.
