TB-F PHONE SYSTEM WITH SINGLE ZONE PAGING

AIPHONE Model TB-F provides a separate channel for paging and does not require any potential phone to be

deducted from your communication network and thus allows independent paging announcement with phone-to-phone
communication present.

* One PB-1, one paging amplifier and appropriate paging speakers must be used in addition to the TB-F system powered by

PS-12A (or PS-12C) power supply.

NON-POLAR I ZED

TB-H PHONE SYSTEM WITH THREE PAGING BLOCKS

AlPHONE MODEL TB-H is a multi-channel system allowing not only multiple separate communications between

phone stations but also multiple separate paging operations at the same time.

1) You may install paging blocks as selector
capability of your TB-H system allows.

2) One potential phone must be deducted from
phone network for each paging block

installed.

3) OnePB-1, one paging amplifier and appropri
ate paging speakers must be used for each
block.

In this example selector button # 10 on each
phone operates block # 1, selector button #11
operates block # 2 and selector button # 12
operates block # 3.
