4. Connections
Warning - High Voltage! Remove
Power Before Servicing!
High voltage may be present on this card (if
used for switching phone lines with super
imposed dc current signaling) which could
cause serious injury or loss of life. Only
qualified personnel familiar with this type
of circuitry should work on this equipment.
To prevent injury, damaging the card or
other equipment, remove power before
making connections.
4.1 Power connections
Connect positive 12 Vdc to pins 55 and 56.
Connect the 12 Vdc return (normally ground)
to pins 39 and 40. For best performance, use at
least 20 AWG or larger wire for power connections.
4.2 Signal Connections and Card Edge Con
nector Pin Assignment
Refer to the schematic and Table 4 (shows the
1505’s pin assignments and has a blank for any
-
customized functions that might be configured)
for the appropriate pin number to make connec
tions. Use at least 24 AWG wire for signal
connections.
4.3 Special considerations for optional wiring
4.3.1 Receive Compressor/Limiter Jumpers
Each receive channel has a compressor/limiter
circuit which helps provide a consistent audio
level. If some external equipment already in
cludes compressor/limiters, these circuits may
be bypassed by changing the associated
jumper’s position. For example, moving JP6
from the “A” (in) to the “B” position (out) bypasses Rx Ch #1’s Compressor/Limiter. Refer
to Table 1 and the schematic for the appropriate jumper selection.

4.3.2 Microphone Jumpers
Depending on which microphone you are us
ing, the following jumpers must be installed:
JP2 - carbon element; JP3 - electret element;
JP4 - dynamic element with a low output.
No jumpers are installed for a dynamic micro
phone with a high output.
4.3.3 Receive Line Input Impedance
A 600Ω terminating resistor is provided for
each receive line input. Refer to the schematic
and Table 1 for the proper jumper installation.
4.3.5 Parallel Transmit Line Impedance
-
Matching
If the occasion arises where the transmit line
output must operate in parallel with another
line terminating device, an impedance mis
match to the phone line will result. To maintain
ate a resistive pad on the output of the 1505
a 600Ω termination, it will be necessary to cre
-
line driver. A similar pad must be installed in
each parallel device. This resistive pad creates
a matching network with the phone line, how
ever it induces a loss in the transmission path
which lowers the line level and may affect the
ultimate performance.
4.3.4 Switch Settings
Switches S1 to S5 provide the means to pro
gram the signal inputs to the output circuits.
Any input can be programmed to any output.
Multiple inputs can be combined to a single
output, or conversely a single input can be programmed to one output. Refer to the schematic
and Table 2 for the proper jumper installation.
Refer to the schematic and Table 2 for proper
switch closures.
-
In order to easily insert the pad, a provision has
been made in the circuit to allow the user to al
ter the value of two resistors in the transmit
line output. The 1505 is shipped from the fac
tory for single line termination without a pad,
resulting in the balanced transmit line output
having a 0 Ω resistor in each leg of the transformer without loss. To add the pad, both 0 Ω
resistors must be replaced with a value corresponding to the number of parallel lines. Refer
to the schematic and Table 3 for proper resistor
values and corresponding insertion loss.

4.4 Securing the Connections
After all power and line connections are made,
the wires should be neatly bundled and secured
in place to prevent accidental breakage when in
service. Use one or more of the cable guides
supplied with the card rack, or tie in place with
appropriate wire ties.
4.5 Interface connector Numbering
The Tellabs (or equivalent) card cage interface
connector pins may have a different numbering
scheme than the 1505. Table 4 depicts the card
edge pin numbers as shown in the schematic,
which is also the same as one type of connec
tor, followed by two alternate numbering
schemes as used on other connectors. Dili
gently review the actual connections being
used, to Table 4, to ensure proper connections
are made for optimum performance. Record the
external connections made during installation in
the blanks rows in Table 4’s “User Connection” column (make copies of Table 4 and keep
records for each 1505).
5. Operation
5.1 Description
This 1505 module has up to four, receive balanced 600 Ω line inputs or high impedance un-
balanced inputs, along with a Mic/Handset input, that is user configurable by dip switch set-
ting, to drive from one to four 600 Ω balanced
transmit line outputs, or an 8 Ω remote speaker.
The module is also capable of summing up to
four receive channel inputs and/or a Mic/Hand
set input, into one or more transmit line outputs
or the speaker output.
5.2 Operating Capabilities
The 1505 accepts up to four balanced or unbal
anced inputs, switch selectable by the user, to
four balanced line driver outputs. These inputs
are also externally mutable by switched low in
puts at the rear panel connection. In addition,
the module will accept a microphone or hand
set input through the front panel jack or the
rear panel connector.
The transmit amplifier is a 600-ohm balanced
line output. The module has four balanced line
outputs. Each amplifier output is adjustable
-
-
with a range of -15 to 10 dBm.
The module has a speaker amplifier output that
may drive an eight ohm external speaker with
an output level of 1 watt. The level is adjust
able.
Any line or microphone input may be switched
(through a module dip switch) to any line output or the speaker output. Three 1505s can be
connected so one line input may drive up to
twelve 600-ohm line outputs. Each input is mutable and the control is a switched low on the
rear panel connector. A PTT from the microphone or handset will gate on the microphone
amplifier and is also jumper selectable to mute
the speaker to inhibit crosstalk.
5.3 Controls and Indicators
Front panel LEDs light when the corresponding
-
receive channel or speaker is muted and when
the microphone or handset PTT switch is acti
vated.
A compressor/limiter circuit is available by
jumper selection for each receive circuit, to
limit the input level to a predetermined setting,
which assists in maintaining proper system lev
els. This module also contains a summed input
circuit, and a summed output circuit, to allow it
to be used in a matrix, i.e. three modules can
be configured to allow a single input to drive
twelve outputs, or conversely twelve inputs can
be summed to one output.
Active switch input circuits allow for muting
individual receive input channels, or the
speaker. A PTT input activates the microphone
circuit.

6. Theory of Operation
6.1 General
The 1505 module uses a low loss, wide band
transformer for each channel to interface to the
phone line. Gain elements are low noise, low
distortion, high gain operational amplifiers for
quality performance. Each channel utilizes one
half of dual compandor IC, configured as a
compressor/limiter, to amplify and limit the
maximum receive input signal, in order to
maintain operator adjusted system levels.
Each receive amplifier output is routed through
a user programmed switch matrix, to summing
amplifiers. The output of the summing amplifi
ers are transmit line amplifiers, and a low loss,
wide band transformer for each channel to in
terface to the respective phone line.
A handset/microphone amplifier circuit is included, with provision for jumper selection of
carbon, electret, or dynamic microphone elements. Also included is a compressor/limiter
circuit to maintain system levels. The output of
the handset/microphone amplifier circuit is
routed to the switch matrix.
An on board voltage regulator maintains proper
voltages for optimum performance.
6.2 Receive Amplifier
This amplifier is a jumper-selectable, 600 ohm
or 10k ohm, high impedance balanced input
that is adjustable from a range of -30 dBm to
10 dBm.
Each receive amplifier has an unbalanced input
with an input level of 0.025 Vac to 2.5 Vac
each. The amplifier output is adjustable and is
accessed through the front panel. The output
level for each receive amplifier is normally
setup for a level of 0.776 Vrms at the test
point. For example, channel one’s test point is
TP3. Operation is the same for all four receive
inputs.
6.3 Compression Limiter Circuit
This circuit amplifies and limits the output of
the receive inputs ensuring uniform audio lev
els from all channels regardless of the input
level received from the external line input. For
a 30 dB gain, once achieving the compression
level, onlya3dBincrease in output level,
without distortion, results in the circuit.
Normally the input level, at 0 dB, allows the
limiter to amplify in a linear fashion below that
level, and above the 0.776 will limit the output
to no more than a 3 dB rise above that point. A
jumper allows the bypass of the compressor
circuit. The compressor circuit is the same for
all four receive channel circuits. Each receive
-
-
input can be muted by an external switched
low input from the rear panel. A front panel
LED mute indicator alerts the operator that the
channel is muted. The output from each receive
channel is bussed through various switches and
is switch selectable by the user to have the audio appear at any one of four line outputs or a
speaker output.
6.4 Transmit Line Amplifier
This bridging amplifier drives a 600 ohm balanced line with an output level adjustable from
-15 dBm to 10 dBm. The output level is adjustable through the front panel. Each transmit amplifier is also a mixer which allows the mixing
of any one or all four receive channels mixed
into one transmit line amplifier.
-
NOTE
The speaker amplifier circuit is no longer
useable, the IC required to drive this cir
cuit has been obsolete by the manufacture
and there is no substitute being manufac
tured at this time. Should you have any
quiestions regarding the speaker amplifier
circuit please call: 1-800-752-7560Ext

6.5 Microphone Input
A microphone input is available through a jack
on the front panel. It allows connection of a
handset or palm type microphone through a
standard modular phone connection. The
jumper options allow the use of a carbon,
electret, or dynamic element. The microphone
amplifier is adjustable to accommodate the full
range of microphones. It’s routed through a
compression limiter similar to the receiver cir
cuits. This compressor operates in a linear fash
ion below 0.776 Vrms input or will have a
limit of 3 dBm increase if that level is ex
ceeded. This limiter may also be bypassed by a
jumper selection. The output of the microphone
circuits is normally muted and is gated on by
the PTT switched in the handset or micro
phone. A jumper is available to simultaneously
mute the speaker during the time the PTT is
initiated so that audio feedback is eliminated.
The output of the microphone circuit is bussed
though switches to the transmit line output amplifiers and to the speaker amplifier output so
that the user may select which line or the
speaker that the microphone input circuit can
be applied to.
6.6 Sum Audio
The 1505 has a sum audio input circuit and a
sum audio output circuit which allows matrix
operation with several modules. This allows the
expansion of receive input channels or transmit
line channels. For example, using three 1505s,
onereceiveinputchannelcanbe
switch-selected for up to twelve channels out
put or conversely twelve receive channels may
be mixed into one transmit channel.
6.7 Controls
Each receive input and microphone input can
be muted externally from the rear panel by a
switched low input, this allows remote muting
by an external source of the various inputs. A
PTT unmutes the microphone audio amplifier
by the PTT switch on the handset or the micro
phone. This PTT is also routed to the rear con
nector panel and is activated by a switched low
input.
6.8 Indicators
The speaker and each receive input channel can
be muted. The front panel has an indicator to
visibly indicate which channels have been
muted. The front panel also has a PTT LED
which is illuminated when the PTT switch has
been activated on the handset or microphone.
6.9 Power Supply
-
-
The 1505 is intended for operation with a 12
Vdc semi-regulated power supply. The onboard
regulator limits the input voltage and regulates
-
the output voltages to operate the module under
various input voltages. The power supply is
fixed and non-adjustable. The regulator safely
limits the output current through the module.
-
Reverse input protection is also provided in
case of an inadvertent reverse voltage input.
