24V or 48V operation (trunk port operation)
●
Mode switches let you select 24-volt or 48-volt operation. A 48-volt power supply is included to provide
48-volt trunk port operation (a 24-volt power supply is required for 24-volt operation).
●
Preannounce and Confirmation Tones
A preannounce tone (heard at the telephone and the loudspeakers) or confirmation tone (heard only
at the telephone) can be selected with mode switches (one of these modes must be selected for the
unit to operate properly). A screwdriver-adjustable control (TONE VOL) sets the level of each.
(Note: when used with ground-start trunk ports, only the preannounce option can be used.)

control). This timer ensures that the unit will always disengage the line by forcing a disconnect,
if the other disconnect functions are disabled or not available with a specific telephone switch.
Note:
The timer may be inhibited; see Default Timer Modifications on page 9 for procedure.
Background music input jack and volume control
●
An RCA-type jack (BGM IN) accepts background music sources from the paging system. The level
can be set with the BGM VOL control. An RCA-jack connector cord and RCA jack adaptors are
included in the kit to connect with some common background music sources.

Contact Closures
Two normally-open contact closures are provided on the UPAM which change state when the unit is
activated. One set is located on the punch block (terminals N.O. and COM), and the other one on
the bottom side of the unit (terminal strip). One contact closure can be used for ground start operation.
The second contact closure is available to provide control of external equipment or functions. When
the UPAM is used on a loop start trunk, page port, or station line, both contact closures become
available to provide control of external equipment or functions.

General Instructions
This section contains installation procedures for connection to the telephone system. You should
first follow the General Instructions and then refer to the Specific Instructions for the type of telephone
switch to be connected (loop- or ground-start trunk port, station port, page port). Finally, refer to Section
3 for connections to the paging system.
You will need the following tools for installation: standard flat-blade screwdriver; phillips-head
screwdriver; wire cutter/stripper/crimper; punch-down tool for Type 66 Block.
Select location and physical installation
The UPAM may be mounted on a wall or backboard. It can be located either in close proximity to
the telephone equipment (a modular cord is included and can be used to connect the unit to the telephone
system) or near the paging equipment. To install the unit using the keyhole slots, install two screws (not
included) with a 7-½" center, letting the screw heads protrude ¼" from the wall. Position the unit on the
screws through the slots then tighten the screws. A 110V AC outlet should be located nearby when using
the UPAM with trunk port equipment.
Grounding
The UPAM is designed with protection devices which are intended to shunt to ground any excess
(surge) voltage appearing on the Tip
to a ground shorting bar, if available, or to a suitable electrical (earth) ground. Connect a ground wire
(with a fork-terminal, included) between the case and the screw on the lower left-hand corner of the
module. An external-tooth lockwasher ensures a good connection between the case and ground terminal.
and Ring input pair. The metal case of the UPAM must be grounded
Mode switches
A set of 5 mode switches (S1 through S5, see the illustration on the previous page) is included
to set the power supply voltage, confirmation or preannounce tone, and VOX operation. These switches
are accessible through an opening in the front cover and can be moved with a pointed tool, such as the
tip of a ball point pen. Set the switches as described in the Specific Instructions, which follow.
Power supply connections
No power supply is required when the UPAM is connected to a PABX station port (supplying analog
ring voltage and approximately 48-volt of Talk Battery) or Centrex line. One of two types of power supply
is included in the UPAM-K. You can identify the power supply from the illustration on page 3. Note the
location of the output terminals; they are not in the same order. Either supply will power the UPAM
and provide 48 volt talk battery for trunk port or page port operation. The illustrations in the Specific
Instructions section show the correct connections from a typical power supply to the UPAM module.
Internal adjustments
Certain options are available (described in Specific Instructions section) which require the removal
of the cover and the modification of certain components. The illustrations on page 11 show the different
revision levels of the printed circuit boards used, and identify the location of the important components.
A small parts bag is located under the cover, either taped to the inside of the cover or wedged
between the case and a large capacitor in the upper right-hand corner of the chassis.
Paging system connections
Illustrations showing connection of the UPAM to a typical paging system are included in the third
section of this manual. If you need more information about paging systems, consult the UPAM CPE
Reference Guide, available from AT&T.

Station Port/Centrex Connections
Disconnect methods
In station port operation, the UPAM provides CPC — calling-party-controlled (loop current interruption) disconnect, default timer disconnect, or optional voice-operated (VOX) disconnect. The callingparty-controlled disconnect recognizes a line-issued disconnect signal and immediately disengages the
UPAM from the line (this feature cannot be adjusted or inhibited). The default timer causes the UPAM to
release after a user-determined period of time ensuring that the UPAM will always disengage the line if
the other disconnect functions are disabled or inoperative. (The default time is approximately 6 to 35
seconds, but can be increased or inhibited; see Default Timer Modifications, on the next page.) The
voice-operated (VOX) disconnect feature has the ability to preempt the default timer and disconnect the
line after a predetermined interval of silence (approx. 2 to 6 seconds, set with
The VOX feature is turned on or off with mode switch S5.
Procedure
No power supply is used for Station Port/Centrex operation.
1.
Mount and the ground the UPAM as described in General Instructions.
2.
Set mode switches S3 and S4 for Preannounce or Confirmation tone (as desired).
One of these modes must be selected for UPAM to operate correctly.
3.
Place mode switch S5 in the Off position.
Connect “Tip” of station port to T terminal of UPAM.
4.
5.
Connect “Ring” of station port to R terminal of UPAM.
6.
Connect PT and PR terminals on UPAM to the paging system, as shown in Section 3. Also, connect
any background music source to the BGM IN jack on the UPAM.
7.
Set the Default Timer by calling the system, and measuring the length of time before the call is
disconnected. Adjust the PAGING TIME control and repeat and readjust as necessary.
8.
Call system and set the page volume using the paging system’s amplifier volume control.
9.
Hang up and adjust the background music level using UPAM BGM VOL control.
10.
Call the system and adjust the volume of the preannounce/confirmation tone volume using the
control. (Note: If the tone can be heard over the paging system but is shortened, or if it is absent
VOL
in the handset, it may be necessary to increase the length of ring before the UPAM answers. See Ring
Delay on page 10.)
If the VOX disconnect is to be used, adjust the VOX delay. To do this, make sure mode switch S5 is

Default Timer Modifications
Inhibit default timer
A field modification is available to inhibit the default timer. Do not inhibit the timer if jumpers
have been removed as outlined in
(S5
been disabled
not inhibit both timers unless the station line has CPC capability.
Some older UPAM equipment may not have jumper J3 (refer to the illustrations on page 11 to
determine the revision level of the pc board and the location of the jumpers). Do not inhibit the default
and VOX disconnect features and rely solely on CPC to provide disconnect control on these models. If
this is unavoidable, then replace the UPAM with one showing a date code of 90A or later. (The date code
is the first two numbers and letter of the unit’s serial number, printed on a sticker on the rear panel of the
unit. The code is also stamped on the outer carton below the UPAM-K name.)
To inhibit the default timer, proceed as follows (note that the other disconnect methods are still
available when the default timer is inhibited):
1.
Open UPAM by removing 4 screws. Lift cover straight off while tilting up the left side of the cover to
clear the punch block.
2.
Locate and remove capacitor C4 mounted in a 2-pin socket on the upper left corner of the printed
circuit board (refer to the illustrations on page 11 for the location of the capacitor).
3.
Replace the capacitor with the 10kilohm resistor (color code: brown-black-orange) supplied in the
parts bag. The parts bag is either taped to the inside cover or wedged between a large capacitor and
the upper right-hand corner of the chassis. Bend and cut the resistor wire as shown below.

Changing default time
To change the timing of the default timer, replace component C4 (located in the upper left-hand
µ
corner by the transistor with the black heat sink) with the 100
parts bag located inside the UPAM enclosure. This capacitor will change the default time to 17 seconds
minimum to 2 minutes maximum. First follow steps 1 and 2 above and then install the capacitor by cutting
its leads to approximately 1/4 inch and inserting into the socket at C4 so that the lead marked with a ( + ),
or with a vertical bar is in the lower socket hole, as shown:

C4
Important Centrex Modification
Some phone systems (in particular, Centrex-type systems) may produce open-switch-intervals
(OSIs) when the UPAM first answers the line. OSIs are short breaks in loop current resulting when the
central office switches equipment on and off the line. The UPAM may misinterpret these OSIs as
disconnect signals. It may be necessary to remove jumpers
the illustrations on page 11 for the location of these jumpers) if the UPAM exhibits any of the following
symptoms during station mode operation. Do not remove the jumpers unless you are confident that
an OSI problem exists, and the UPAM has been verified as functional by following the troubleshooting procedures in Section 4.
Symptoms:
1.
UPAM disconnects from the line immediately after answering.
2.
UPAM answers and remains connected to line but the page audio does not come through the paging
system. This condition is verified if the UPAM external contact closures are still open during a page.

Ring delay
Cutting jumper J1 increases the length of time it takes to answer the ringing line. This allows time
for a talk path to be established before the UPAM answers, thereby ensuring that the preannounce or
confirmation tone will be heard. Central office or Centrex lines, which may be slower than other
switching equipment, may require this modification.
1.
Open UPAM by removing 4 screws. Lift cover straight off while tilting up the left side of the cover to
clear the punch block.
2.
Move large axial lead capacitor to expose jumper
the revision level of the pc board and the location of the jumpers.)

Notes:
1.2.The modular jack on the side of the UPAM can usually be connected directly to the telephone switch
page port (via the 8-conductor modular cable, included) when the two center conductors of the
page port jack supply a dry audio signal and the two remaining conductors flanking the center
conductors provide a normally open contact closure.
When connecting to a non-modular type of page port, cut off one end of the 8-conductor modular
cable and strip and connect wires as shown in the illustration on the next page. Note: Color
arrangement of wires may not be standard among cables. The illustration below will guide you in
determining the correct wire colors for connection to the page port.

Connection to the Paging System

General Guidelines
The UPAM is designed to connect to typical “centrally-amplified” and “self-amplified” paging and
sound systems. “Centrally-amplified” systems generally use one amplifier to distribute the page audio to
large numbers of speakers. “Self-amplified” systems generally rely on small amplifiers, built-in on each
speaker or horn. Since the types of connectors used on this equipment varies, and is not standard between
manufactures, you should be familiar with the basic features of these systems so that you can connect
the UPAM to the correct input.
Installation consists of connecting the
input terminals. In a central-amplified system, the amplifier’s 600-ohm/Lo-Z input provides the ideal
connection; however connection can be made to Hi-Z or microphone inputs, when the transformer (Model
WMT-1A) included in the UPAM-K is used. In self-amplified systems, connection can be made to the
individual amplifiers or to a smaller buffer amplifier.
The illustrations in this section provide basic hookup information to typical equipment, and
procedures may vary. Read the UPAM CPE Reference Guide to gain a better understanding of paging
systems and input types.
You should be aware that certain self-contained, customer-owned telephone paging systems (i.e.,
Terryphone) are not compatible with UPAM installation. These systems were originally installed with
dedicated telephones or handsets. They were not designed to work in conjunction with a telephone
system, and provide no compatibility for page port access.

Typical Installations
Connecting the UPAM to an amplifier’s Lo-Z/600-ohm input
You can connect the UPAM directly to an amplifier’s 600-ohm input. Some of the procedures below
may vary. The illustration on the next page shows a typical installation.
1.
Make sure that the amplifier is turned off.
2. Connect one side of the amplifier input to the UPAM PT terminal.
3. Connect the other the other side of the amplifier input to the UPAM PR terminal.
4.
Connect any background music source to the BGM IN jack (RCA-type) on the UPAM.
Caution
If the amplifier’s input is unbalanced (one side of the input terminal is connected to
ground), you must connect the PR terminal on the UPAM to the grounded amplifier
terminal. Reversing these connections can short the BGM source output. (The WMT-1A
transformer can be used to "float" the unbalanced input and eliminate this problem.
Connect speaker loads to amplifier’s output terminals, if necessary.
5.
Turn amplifier volume control to minimum.
6.
Turn amplifier on.
7.
Set amplifier level (see Specific Instructions for the particular telephone access mode being used).

Connecting the UPAM to an amplifier’s MIC input
Due to the higher sensitivity of microphone inputs, they should be used only as a last resort. The
Lo-Z microphone connection is the more desirable of the two because it is less susceptible to noise
pickup. The UPAM connects to the MIC input using the WMT-1A transformer. This transformer includes
a modification to provide the proper attenuation (see instructions packed with the transformer). More
information on microphone inputs is provided in the UPAM CPE Reference Guide.
1.
Make sure the amplifier is turned off.
Modify the WMT-1A transformer by moving the push-on lug to the center terminal on the terminal
strip (see inset diagram in the figure below for proper jumper placement).

Connecting the UPAM to a self-amplified paging system
Connection to a self-amplified system usually consists of connecting the UPAM output to the line
feeding the system’s self-contained amplifiers. In some cases, connection may be made to a small buffer
amplifier, which is used in some systems to provide an adequate signal level for large numbers of speakers.
1. Most self-amplified systems operate at low voltages and do not present a shock hazard. If possible,
however, turn off the power supplies.
2. Connect PT terminal of the UPAM to the distribution line from the amplifier’s “Tip.
3. Connect PR terminal of the UPAM to the distribution line from the amplifier’s “Ring.
4.
Connect any background music source to the BGM IN jack (RCA-type) on the UPAM.
Adjust the volume level. Self-amplified systems usually provide a volume control at each speaker.

Page 25
Installation Manual
Procedure A
1.
Disconnect the UPAM from the telephone
equipment.
2.
Confirm that the power supply is properly
connected and that the mode switches are in the
correct positions (make sure mode switches S3
and
S4
are not in the same position).
3.
Connect a test set to T & R terminals on UPAM (test
set should be on hook).
4.
Take test set off hook.
If the UPAM activates and you can make a page,
the UPAM and paging system are functioning
correctly. The problem must be with the voice
switch or interface wiring.
If the UPAM does not activate, it may be defective.
Swap out with another UPAM if possible.
If the UPAM activates, but paging is not possible,
perform Procedure B
Procedure B
1. Disconnect the UPAM from the paging
system.
2.
Connect a test set to
UPAM.
3. Place the test set in the monitor position.
4.
Make a page from a telephone system
phone. Listen to the test set. Audio should
be comfortably loud (approximately
telephone level) and not distorted.
If audio is loud and clear, the paging
interface is working correctly. The problem
must be in the paging system.
If audio is not heard, the UPAM may be
defective. Swap out with another UPAM if
possible.

Troubleshooting Notes
Latching relays
Under certain circumstances, the installation procedure may jar the latching relays, causing a busy
tone to be heard in the handset when you try to call the UPAM. When connected to a station port, the
relays will reset when the default timer times out (max. 35 sec.) On ground start trunk ports, short terminals
T & R together for 5 seconds to reset the relays. Ring Delay
If the preannounce/confirmation tone can be heard over the paging system, but is shortened, or
absent in the handset, it may be necessary to increase the length of ring before the UPAM answers. See
Ring Delay in Section 2 for the procedure to follow to increase the delay.
