Installation Instructions for B-KH Series

DESCRIPTION

The Edwards B-KH Series Line Powered Remote Phone Sig­nals (Figure 1) are available in three models: strobe/horn (Cat.
No. B-KHE-1000-PP), strobe (Cat. No. B-KHD-1000-PP) or
horn (Cat. No. B-KHS-1000-PP). When equipped with a
strobe, a xenon strobe lamp is used for increased light output.
The horn, when used, is a piezo horn with manual adjustment
for sound output. Combination units are designed for wide
area coverage in noisy locations. Strobe only units are ideal
for use in quiet areas such as libraries, broadcast studios, hos­pitals and offices. All units are for interior use only.

Remote Phone Signal

your line should not exceed five. To be sure of the number of
devices you can connect to your telephone line, contact your
local telephone company.

If these devices damage the telephone network, the telephone
company will notify the owner that it may temporarily discon­nect service if they consider such action necessary . If the owner
considers the disconnection unwarranted, they have the right
to bring a complaint to the FCC.

The telephone company may make changes in its communica­tion facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures when such
action is required. If these changes render the devices incom­patible with the telephone company facilities, the telephone
company will provide enough written notice so that necessary
changes can be made in order to maintain uninterrupted ser­vice.

The remote phone signal responds to any ring signal within
the frequency range of 16-70 Hz and voltage range of 85-115
V RMS. The units require no external power and connect
directly to your phone system.

• These devices are intended for connection to single line
telephone or key systems only. They are not intended for
use on "party line" or on coin telephone lines.

• When installed in accordance with these instructions, the
devices can be readily disconnected without affecting

equipment remaining on the telephone network.

• Registered with the Federal Communications Commission
in compliance with Part 68 of FCC Rules and Regulations.
