Unpack the equipment and check it against your equipment lists.
Inspect for physical damage. If you are not sure about a component’s function, review the Product Description Manual. Contact
your Sales Representative if you have additional questions.
Have the appropriate tools for the job on hand, including: a test
set, a punch down tool and a digital voltmeter.
Before Installing
Make sure you have a building plan showing the location of
the common equipment, extensions, the telco demarcation and
earth ground. In addition, the installation site must meet the
requirements outlined in the Standard Practices Manual.
Site Requirements
The common equipment is contained in the wall-mounted Main
Equipment Cabinet. Choose a central location for the cabinet
that allows enough space for the equipment — and provides
enough room for you to comfortably work. The Installation
Layout (Figure 1-1) shows you about how much space your system requires.

System Load Factor Calculations
The combination of extensions, trunks, Digital Door Boxes and
DSS Consoles you can connect to your system may be limited by
the System Load Factor. Use the DS1000 System Load FactorCalculations chart at right to verify your system’s configuration.
To check your system configuration:
1. Indicate the quantity for each item installed in the Qty column.
2. For each item, multiply the Qty times and Load Factor and
enter the value in the Total Load column.
3. Add all the values in the Total Load column and enter the
value in row 1.
4. Compare the entry in row 2 to your entry in row 1. Row 1
must always be equal to or less than the entry in row 2.
Do not operate your system if the System Load Factor
total (row 1) exceeds the allowable load of 30 (row 2).

INSTALLING THE CABINET
Planning the Installation (Figure 1-1)
Before installing the common equipment, you should mount a
Main Distribution Frame (MDF) plywood backboard in a centrally
located spot. A1/2 sheet of plywood (4’ x 4’) should be more than
adequate. Mount this backboard using suitable fasteners, taking
care to adhere to standard installation practices and local codes.
The equipment cabinet requires a three-prong, dedicated
110 VAC 60 Hz circuit (NEMA 5-15 receptacle) located within
4 1/2’ feet of the AC receptacle.
Normally, you install the extension blocks and trunk/AUX jacks
to the right of the Main Cabinet.
!! Important !!
Local codes may prohibit you from installing extensions, trunks
and optional equipment in the same blocks.

!! Important !!
You must connect your system to a known earth ground according the following instructions.
1. Loosen the lug on the cabinet’s ground connection.
2. Following Figure 1-4, run a 12 AWG stranded copper wire
from the ground lug to a known earth ground.
4. Firmly retighten the lug loosened in step 1 above.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY AND EXPANSION BOARD
Removing the Top Panel (Figure 1-5)
You must remove the top panel in order to install the system
battery and Expansion Board.
In the event of commercial AC power failure, the battery provides short-term backup of system memory and the system time
and date (Real Time Clock). The battery will hold memory and
time and date for up to 10-14 days.
The Expansion Board provides an additional 3 analog trunks, 8
digital extensions, 4 analog extensions and 1 analog door box.
With the expansion board installed, the capacity of your system
is 6 analog trunks, 16 digital extensions, 8 analog extensions,
and 2 analog door boxes.

Replacing the Battery
● To replace an existing battery:
You should only need to replace your battery if it fails
to hold a charge (i.e., no longer backs up memory and
the Real Time Clock).
1. Do not power down the system.
If you power down the system and remove the battery,
programmed data and the Real Time Clock will reset
to the factory-installed default settings.
2. Following Figure 1-6, gently push down on the battery and
remove it.
3. Replace the battery with a Sony CR2032 3 Volt Lithium
cell battery or equivalent. (This battery is not available
from Nitsuko.)
4. Verify that the system’s programmed data is intact.
5. Discard the old battery.
!! Important !!
Take proper precautions when discarding the battery. It may be
considered hazardous material in some areas.
!! Caution !!
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by
the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

BEFORE YOU START CABLING
Reviewing the Installation Method
Your system uses a different installation method for extensions
and trunk/AUX connections:
● Extension Blocks
The system uses a 66M1-50 extension block and a second
66M1-50 cross connect block for connecting extensions.
See The Extension Block on page 2-4 and the illustration on
page 2-5.
● Trunk/AUX Mod Jacks
You’ll use up to 6 mod jacks for the trunk/AUX connections.
Turn to Trunk and AUX Mod Jacks on page 2-8 for more on
this method.
Your telco normally provides trunks in RJ-11C, RJ-14C, or
RJ-25C modular jacks.
For more on connecting Door Boxes, Paging, music and power
failure, turn to Section 4, Optional Equipment.

THE EXTENSION BLOCK
Installing The Extension Block (Figures 2-1
through 2-3).
● To connect to the extension block:
1. Arrange your extension and extension cross-connect blocks
according to the illustration below.
2. Following Figure 2-2 on page 2-6, punch down a standard
25-pair cable on the extension block.
The cable should have a female amphenol 50-pin connector on one end and be terminated on the other.
